One day, Nine, One day.
Does pre-calc include trig for ya? In general, it's the most disjointed math class, but nothing in particular is that hard
it does include trig
sadly
Fourier series! Better than Taylor series! (at least in the sense you have more freedom in choosing the interval in which the approximation applies)
the math is easy once I understand how to do it. (started my first pre-calc class with an F then finished the semester with A-.) *but it takes so dam long to learn*
hey! fourier as in FFT??
yup
what do you use fourier for?
Similar to Taylor series in that it can approximate any function as a sum of easy to integrate/differentiate functions
. . . I just googled it. . . now I'm getting concerned because it looks super complicated
Think of it as a processing shortcut
Fourier transform is not precalc.
but I will be taking Calculus and physics for engineering students, and the formula is similar to the problems in those classes
Nope, but sometimes hints of why you're learning disjointed things helps motivate learning
Down the road you'll take diff eq.
differ equation?
Differential equations.
*oh* that
see, I took pre-calc I my first semester in college
I hate it when i don't get the whole picture
I understand i won't understand the whole picture from the get go
but don't fucking mr miyagi me
Like i remember asking a question in an early math class
like about division or some shit
and the answer i got back was "you can't do that"
which was a lie
oof this is why math teachers need to be math majors instead of education majors
in my school district, math teachers didn't have to be math majors
the most math they had to take was college alegbra
Can't believe i stayed up til 6 am talking about politics <:haggord:435674100468285440>
Hero you fell asleep right
but it was fun to listen to 😄
I think I did on 2 people earlier this morning but I have no idea
*remember
Did you watch any of those "JEWrassic LIARS" videos with us lol
Yeah that was me and some other guy
not really I had to keep pausing the videos to listen to you guys
Rip
but I'll pull them up in a few hours when I'm done freaking out about pre-calc
