OK, so I did mathematics and statistics once upon a time, but that's history. OK. Math. But WTF is BBFK doing with a copy of Pre-Calculus in the boot (trunk) of her car...?
Because I am a bad friend, but also a very busy friend, I worked on some math homework as my friend Tim (not this Tim but the other Tim) looked on when we were meeting for our twice-a-week lunch today. He seemed rather bewildered by it, and now you can be, too.
I spent the day studying for my calc midterm, and I'm kind of a timelapse junkie. Here is the result. The better part of the day compressed into 90 seconds.
The song is Throwing Snow - Kettleness.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus basically shows the relation between differentiation and integration.
The theorem has two parts:
Part I : First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC1 )
Part 2: Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC2)
FTC1 states that differentiation and integration are inverse of each other. It also relates antiderivative concept with area problem.
To calculate the derivative of an integral between bounds using FTC1 , we just plug in an x value for the t variable and the answer ends up being the same.
The following infographic explains how to solve problems based on First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
yes, that is calculus you see on that chocolate.
no, i didn't put it there.
yes, i kind of wish i had.
Here at KAIST the multivariable calculus classes use Marsden and Tromba. It looks like the members of Sturgeon (a "emocore/hardcore punk" band) all took that class...
I was tagged by wonderful, talented, and just plain scrumptious dr_nik to post 16 things about me.
─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─═─
01. I can't tell you the name of one single person in my High School graduating class. I went to three different High Schools.
02. I started riding motorcycles when I was 11.
03. When I was 7 I climbed up on top of a house and my mom and her friend saw me walking on the roof thru a skylight. My mom pulled a branch off a Weeping Willow tree and lashed my legs until blood was just pouring down and my socks were soaked. It was summer and I was wearing shorts.
04. I took a class in Nuclear Cosmochemistry and was the only undergraduate to make an "A" (and only one grad student got an "A" too). The professor hired me to do research in his group and I authored or co-authored around 10 scientific papers. I've done 14 papers total, and they all put me to sleep.
05. Someday I want to have a bison ranch.
06. In elementary school I found I would throw up if I tasted mayonnaise. I used it when I really wanted to get out of school, and nobody ever caught on.
07. In film school I won an award for a B&W experimental short I did in Super-8 Reversal.
08. I once got a parasite from eating at a McDonalds. For a week if I so much as drank water I coughed up blood. I thought I was going to die. I went from 125 lbs (56.7 kg) to about 109 lbs (49.5 kg). This morning I weighed 193 lbs (87.5). I haven't eaten McDonalds in over 20 years.
09. I once set a house on fire by accident, and I had to go apologize to the owners.
10. I sometimes have very vivid dreams that come true, and I have witnesses because these dreams have a certain "flavor" to them so I started telling other people when I had one. I don't think I can see the future, I think my subconcious is very good at extrapolating data. I've also solved Calculus problems in my sleep I couldn't solve otherwise.
11. I've seen 13 tornadoes. In the early 1970s in Nashville I looked straight up the funnel of one as it hopped over our car. The car was rocking side to side and I looked on the up swing.
12. One year I went to a ranch were I would go fishing and riding horses. They had captured a grizzly and the mate would come down the mountain at night madder than Hell. They told us to be extra careful because it might come near the cabins. One day I was trout fishing way upstream, and I found a place were I could put my back against a dirt embankment so I wouldn't have to worry about something coming up behind me. I let my line go downstream and after a while there was this really loud roar right in my ear. I took off running down the icy cold stream, getting tangled in my line, and when I turned around a hummingbird had flown so close to my ear that its wings sounded like this roar.
13. I haven't been kissed in over 2 years.
14. I was thrown out of college for one year.
15. I've worked with two people that were embezzling at the time, and I helped catch one of them.
16. The physically largest trophy I got as a kid was for memorizing the most bible verses in one year. It's even bigger than the trophy I got because my Little League team was city champions with 40 wins and 1 loss.

I haven't chosen my victims yet, but I ain't picking 16 of them. That's just too many.
Oh My, Omarr!
As a wee little kitty, Omarr got into a heap of trouble--stealing yarn balls, coughing up hairballs at the dinner table, eating the cookies cooling atop the stove and kicking over the litter box, just to name a few incidents; however, he wasn't trying to be a bad cat. . . he was just intellectually underchallenged.
Omarr went to school and fell in love with music. He's an awesome whistler and has eclectic musical taste that ranges from Stravinsky to John Coltrane. Once I told him that good musicians are often good at math, he began to study geometery. . . now, he's one calculus kitty scholar who's contemplating taking quantum physics next. That's right: Omarr is a kitty with a curiosity about "String Theory!"

Part of the 92 page article on Calculus from The Encyclopaedia Britannica - 9th edition - 1876-1889.
The Britannica tried to comprehensively cover topics that modern encyclopedias would only summarise, such as the concise but comprehensive coverage of the Calculus here.
The 9th edition was a new, completely revised edition, enlarged to 24 volumes - sometimes called the ‘scholars’ edition’, with articles from over 2000 eminent contributors.
Published by Adam and Charles Black, Edinburgh , for the Times Publications of London. 24 volumes red half leather, gilt spines and marbled endpapers and edges. About 20,000 pages 28cm x 22cm.
The paper editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica are to finally cease in 2012, to be completely replaced by the electronic and online version.
