Why is the integral from -pi to +pi of function f(x)=sin(x) equal to 0?

>> No.6286670

integrate integrate integrate x^2 + ex

>> No.6286679

>>6286667
Because sin is an odd function. The area from -pi to 0 cancels the area from 0 to pi.

>>6286670
Triple integrals are subject of cutting edge research and not fully understood. Maybe in 100 years we will have a complete theory of triple integration.

Calculus is a very complex field of math and demands a lot of prerequisite knowledge in higher math. Are you proficient in algebra and precalculus?

Logic is philosophy. Set theory is only a tool, like functions or variables are not fields on their own. Algebra comes before calculus.

>>6286776
Nobody knows how to do it. The best PhDs are researching solutions to very simple triple integrals. A general theory does not exist yet.

I'm assuming you want a triple integration of x^2+e^x, with respect to x. The solution there would be (x^5)/60 + e^x

I'm just saying that if he were a real PhD student, he would know that there's no such thing as a simple triple integral, and that solving a triple integral would land you instant tenure at any institute, so PhD students needn't try.

e^x doesn't change under integration, so it can be ignored

Integrate x^2 once, get x^3/3
Then again, get x^4/(3x4)
Then again, get x^5(3x4x5)

I do not have a PhD in Mathematics but I would guess you would be limited to one of the following if you didn't want to be underemployed:

1) University Professor
2) PI or senior research fellow doing mathematical modelling at a lab/research facility.
3) Research Fellow/Analyst at a engineering/technology company whose job would be mathematical modelling (possible Chief Science/Technology Officer after years of experience)
4) Financial Analyst of some kind at an investment or similar company.

If you took some calc in highschool, it should be an easy transition

The thing to note that university math professors are not high school math teachers, you need to get used to the formalism. There will be lots of definition/theorems, but you don't need to prove in calc 1 (except maybe epsilon delta proofs).
