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

2018-07-18 08:39:54 UTC  

I just saw memorization talk that seemed math like

2018-07-18 08:39:55 UTC  

skimed it

2018-07-18 08:39:57 UTC  

and said that

2018-07-18 08:40:26 UTC  

Then realized nobody was talking about multiplication tables and went 'whoops'

2018-07-18 08:40:51 UTC  

I think I went overboard to be honest.

2018-07-18 08:42:46 UTC  

Thinking about calculus in the early morning hours stirred some...difficult...memories.

2018-07-18 08:43:32 UTC  

It's not that bad. It's kinda fun until you get stuck on something.

2018-07-18 08:54:47 UTC  

as of this moment, you're all normies and plebs to me! 😒

2018-07-18 08:55:59 UTC  

Oh?

2018-07-18 08:56:12 UTC  

Are you an actual Dr., Dr.Wol?

2018-07-18 08:56:36 UTC  

I wish

2018-07-18 08:56:49 UTC  

I'm not even an actual Wol

2018-07-18 08:58:06 UTC  

Build...Wol?

2018-07-18 08:58:20 UTC  

Nah i'm not gonna build a Wol

2018-07-18 08:58:33 UTC  

Oh hey, im a normie

2018-07-18 08:58:39 UTC  

normieeee

2018-07-18 08:58:57 UTC  

Does this make me a pleb?

2018-07-18 08:59:03 UTC  

The sidebar says I'm a pleb.

2018-07-18 08:59:07 UTC  

Nope it makes you a normie too.

2018-07-18 08:59:09 UTC  

no, you're level 11

2018-07-18 08:59:10 UTC  

you're a normie

2018-07-18 08:59:14 UTC  

i'm 20 now, so i'm a Regular 😛

2018-07-18 08:59:22 UTC  

Oh, its automatic?

2018-07-18 08:59:25 UTC  

That's kinda neat.

2018-07-18 08:59:48 UTC  

you upgrade for every 10 bot levels
