Because first you must learn the derivative of x in x

2018-07-18 08:24:54 UTC  

And then memorize the rest of the tables.

2018-07-18 08:24:55 UTC  

Dx/Dy that shite.

2018-07-18 08:25:04 UTC  

DX/dy

2018-07-18 08:25:06 UTC  

Everything is an integral sign

2018-07-18 08:25:06 UTC  

and then you look it up on Wolfram alpha 'cuz you forgot the tables.

2018-07-18 08:25:13 UTC  

What tables

2018-07-18 08:25:16 UTC  

shit

2018-07-18 08:25:22 UTC  

differentiation/integration tables.

2018-07-18 08:25:23 UTC  

i need to sleep

2018-07-18 08:25:30 UTC  

You haven't seen the books of integration tables?

2018-07-18 08:25:35 UTC  

4:25

2018-07-18 08:25:56 UTC  

Darn it. Now I have to go to sleep too. Thanks @ExceptionalFeather

2018-07-18 08:25:59 UTC  

am?

2018-07-18 08:26:04 UTC  

of course.

2018-07-18 08:26:07 UTC  

ye

2018-07-18 08:26:13 UTC  

My clock is always set in Eastern Time Zone.

2018-07-18 08:26:23 UTC  

Cool, it's pm for me right now

2018-07-18 08:26:36 UTC  

I need to set it for UTC.

2018-07-18 08:27:22 UTC  

@pratel this stuff?

2018-07-18 08:27:32 UTC  

Wait till Calculus hits Quantum Computing. 😃

2018-07-18 08:27:57 UTC  

We never had any tables here

2018-07-18 08:28:10 UTC  

Just had like 20 formulas to learn

2018-07-18 08:28:23 UTC  

I hated memorizing the formulas.

2018-07-18 08:28:29 UTC  

And then the rest I made up

2018-07-18 08:28:41 UTC  

One you know five you know the rest

2018-07-18 08:28:59 UTC  

The beauty is how you apply them

2018-07-18 08:32:19 UTC  

Yeah, the tables you actually memorize are usually pretty short.

2018-07-18 08:32:50 UTC  

I never memorized the multiplication tables

2018-07-18 08:32:54 UTC  

They start getting extensive if you do really weird stuff or you were born before computers automated alot of this stuff and made explicit calculus essentially unimportant.

2018-07-18 08:32:58 UTC  

Still consistently got 97/98/99% in math

2018-07-18 08:33:02 UTC  

Elliptic integrals and nonsense.

2018-07-18 08:33:45 UTC  

You guys seem to be talking about something else though, whoops

2018-07-18 08:33:46 UTC  

You start getting a feel for where some of these formulas get strange if you take complex analysis and they start showing you some of the more bizarre integrals you can cheat out of.

2018-07-18 08:34:10 UTC  

And then it turns into lots of weird trick substitutions and stuff and it turns into books lying around old professor's bookshelves.

2018-07-18 08:34:35 UTC  

Vector algebra + calculus makes it's own rules ... and it's own set of tables.

2018-07-18 08:35:23 UTC  

@Scarlet It's more similar than different. Instead of multiplying stuff you're integrating stuff. But becaues integration is hard to do in general it works out to memorizing lots of derivatives (which are straightforward) and tricks.

2018-07-18 08:36:06 UTC  

Once upon a time, before you could simulate everything on a computer you'd have books of solved integrals for weird cases that were hard to just figure out on your own.

2018-07-18 08:37:03 UTC  

No one really does this stuff as much anymore. For most applied purposes you can do an approximate simulation on a computer and explicit solutions are less important than manipulations.

2018-07-18 08:37:32 UTC  

Theory tends to still have a good bit of integral solving.

2018-07-18 08:39:29 UTC  

@Scarlet I think what you are talking about is Arithmetic rather than Mathematics
