they taught you integrals in trig?

Wtf?!

 

[Thino]

they taught you integrals in trig?

Wtf?!

well I dont know exactly what it corresponds in the American or English highschool system , but I did integrals and trigs in the same year , which was the second to last highschool year

 

[ballin4life]

I don't understand what trigs is ... are you saying that you learned about the sine and cosine functions at the same time that you learned about integrals?

 

[th3kuzinator]

I think thats what thino is saying...

If so, then I am confused x100000

 

[TANK64]

LMAO! Kuz I love your caption

 

[Sempiternity]

We used LIATE in Calc II, so same as you, kuz.

One of the hardest things I've done in Calc is trying to draw a three dimensional figure. Holy god is it so much harder than one would think.

And, regarding the triple integrals, you have to look at your poorly drawn piece of ****, and then come up with bounds in all three directions in terms of the line (curve) equations and it just gets insane. We regularly spend a half-hour in class trying to draw a figure using the bounds of the integral(s).

In the end, we're nowhere close, and consider it a wasted day. :weep:

 

[ballin4life]

Ugh screw you guys. Now I've been trying to integrate logxarctanx for the past half hour when I should be studying for my econ final tomorrow.

I agree. I've taught some calc classes and when I have to draw a three dimensional figure on the board I first try to explain the shape, mould it with my hands, use the corners of the wall as axis and try to make sure everyone can picture it in their minds before drawing it on the board.
It frustrates me that I've had teachers whose 3D drawings seemed to come out of the board

 

[Thino]

no guys dont worry , we learned first part of trig way before we did integrals

but we did integrals almost at the same time as some VERY annoying part of trig that made me hate trig , I dont remember exactly what it was

inb4 its even more confusing than before

 

[Dajayman]

Ugh, I wish I could still play Smash64 online. It still is my favorite game of all time.
I wish my area was more interested in 64, like two people have very little interest in it, everyone else hates it...

 

[NixxxoN]

uh trig

exponentials , logs and polynomials were ok

but trigs and integrals , INTEGRALS

IF I SEE THAT ∫ ... ONCE AGAIN...

yes I mad.

Yes Thino I also hates integrals, uber s*** stuff.

but Trigonometry is easy!

 

[3mmanu3lrc]

logs, exponentials, polynomials, trig.......
I use to hate all that at first, but now I kind of love everything related to math.
It's like a fun excercise to your mind, when you get use to it.

 

[ballin4life]

At lower levels of math, e.g. high school, solving problems is simply a matter of memorizing algorithms to solve them. For example, using the quadratic formula to find the roots of a quadratic equation. The only skills are recognizing which algorithm to use and then not making silly mistakes.

At higher levels of math most problems are in the form of proofs. Proofs are like a puzzle, and often require some ingenuity to solve. They can definitely be more frustrating when you are stuck and don't know what to do (in lower levels, you can just go through your list of algorithms until one of them winds up working). But they are much more rewarding to actually solve.

A problem on my Calc II final exam last year was to integrate sin(x)^4, and all of us were completely bewildered until we got home and checked out Wolfram...

THE REDUCTION FORMULA!?

WHAT

Didn't even learn that ****.

 

[th3kuzinator]

Sorry to interrupt the math discussion, but I just gotta say this sig is so cool :3

Please dont infract me, its the social thread :D

 

[Surri-Sama]

You could simply ask people what they think of your new sig?

and on that note it is pretty cool xD red ftw~

Reduction formula? You don't need that.

You just need to do integration by parts with u = sin^3 and dv = sin

Check this guy out. He is based in the artwork emporium, which is on this site.

He is the one who made my sig. If anyone would like to request a custom sig, with their own pic, theme, and text just go there and request one.

All for free, of course :D

Can someone recommend a good piece of anime to me?

Here is anime I have enjoyed in the past and currently...

Soul Eater
Darker than Black (All of them, however I liked the original's the best)
Cowboy Bebop
Bakemonogatari
One outs (I dislike main stream sports, and gambling, but this one is very awesome in a rather odd way that I can not describe if you have not seen it I recommend it.)
Shiki (Extremely awesome, I am willing to go as far as to call it a master piece!)
xxx Holic (Season 1 and 2, but not three.)
Yugioh Season 0
Detective Conan (From what I saw of it, it was good, but I do not have the ability to sit though 100+ episodes, unless I was there from the start.)

I, painfully waiting for the next shiki installment need something to tide me other does any one know a good anime that will be right for me based on the list?

 

[sharksquail]

If you liked one outs you should watch kaiji or akagi

 

[Sempiternity]

Reduction formula? You don't need that.

wut

I'd try it out myself, but I think I'll pass. Maybe later.



Also, I'd just like to rant about Windows Live Movie Maker:

WHY THE HELL DID THEY REMOVE THE OPTION TO SAVE YOUR MOVIE AS DIFFERENT FILE TYPES. ALL I WANTED WAS TO SAVE MY **** AS AN AVI, BUT NO ALL I COULD DO WAS SAVE IT AS A WMV.

Christ, gotta download the actual Windows Movie Maker to do the goddamn job...

 

[ballin4life]

Windows movie maker sucks so hard. It freezes all the time, plus I can only save videos as .wmvs when I want to do .mpegs.

 

[hamburglar]

i wonder what is going on in the back room....

 

[th3kuzinator]

Apparently, MLG_JV is still writing an official announcement to the entire site for establishing the backroom (thats how I understood it anyway).

Results will be made known during that time, I hope.

 

[hamburglar]

hopefully soon. i feel like i have an itch i can't scratch.

on a different note. i would love to see more link combos involving multiple throws. someone quench my thirst.

watch Kaiji , Saki , Baccano , Dennou Coil , Durarara , Bamboo Blade , Tsukihime , Kara no Kyoukai

 

[ciaza]

Dragoon it seem you mainly like action anime and even if you didn't I'd still recommend Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. If you dig through aa's post history you'll find he harps on about it a lot too.

Can't go wrong with Death Note though I know it's somewhat controversial around here lol.

You might like Shakugan no Shana. Thino also raises some good anime. Durarara is cool.

 

[hamburglar]

i dont care what anyone says, deathnote was awesome.

im watching one right now called monster. its pretty good

 

[ballin4life]

When was DeathNote controversial?

 

[Thino]

I've always heard only positive feedback about Death note before watching it , and I dont regret it , its a good anime

 

[th3kuzinator]

I only hear negative feedback from my friends who only watched the movie and never saw the series or read the manga.

I cant even lie, as much as I love deathnote, I just left the moving laughing cuz it was so bad.

 

[Thino]

I've never watched the movie , so maybe it was indeed bad , but I'm almost scare to try now

 

[The Star King]

Why would anyone watch the movie? >_>

 

[hamburglar]

screw the movie. the manga and series are sweeeet

 

[ballin4life]

Death Note is the only anime I've ever watched (besides I guess DragonBall Z?). I liked it, but as I said before you can't have L die and continue on the series IMO. Total deus ex machina for there to be other people smart enough to hunt down Kira.

I think we also talked about how Light is an idiot and if he would just have just laid low from the beginning he never would have been caught.

 

[ciaza]

Kuz is that a Shoyru (from Neopets) with a Yoshi head? It has the same spike on the wings which is what made me think of it.

Neopets was the **** btw.

Death Note Live Action Movie....lol. I wouldn't recommend watching it. For anime movies go watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time or something.
