Just remember. Integral is the anti-derivative but with the constant.
The area under the curve is its finite integral between any two boundaries.
If you have questions concering limits and your equation will look like 0/0, use Hopital's rule.

Try Numerical Methods, anon. Calc 1 was stupid easy. Now, I don't even know what half these symbols or proofs mean and the dumbfuck chink professor can't speak a word of English and there are no tutors available anywhere because it's a stupid autism branch of math that has like two applications in real life.

I'd like to take your word for it, but how can any of this gobbly-gook with two dozen different symbols in one problem mean anything? It gives me extreme anxiety just looking at them. It just seems so unintuitive. You have to brute-force memorize it all because it's so abstract and intricate, and that's just not working for me.

I can "understand" all of the syntax and their mathematic meanings, but why is there just so much of it? How is anyone supposed to sit down and take all of these isolated expressions, listed one after the other after the other, and find any kind of relevant meaning in them?

I found a much simpler explanation for the fixed point theorem online, and it really isn't that complex of a process - in fact, I believe we covered it in calc 2. But my exam questions will be phrased in this verbose way, and that is where I am going to struggle.

>> No.11024819

>>11024808
its just being rigorous, someone has to do it
i very much doubt an exam on numerical methods would be this finicky, surely youll just have to use the actual method which is braindead easy to solve problems
its numerical analysis where you actually have to do this work yourself, they may aswell just present it to you now so you have a some sort of foundational understanding

I'm taking a numerical methods class and in my department the course is basically just a programming class with some of the basic theory as to why the methods work. Once you get to the class the math in that photo will make sense, but it's definitely a slower way to learn for a lot of people.

If you're taking a calculus class, I'm assuming you're a freshman (or just really dumb). Either way, your other courses should be a piece of fucking cake comparatively, you definitely should have the time to do a few book problems for each chapter.

i’ve thought about this a lot, here’s my best explanation
stand in between an object and a mirror
look at the object, with your back towards the mirror
the object looks “normal”
now, face the mirror and look at the object using the mirror
you probably turned over your shoulder to do this
this is where the x-axis flip comes from
notice how you could have “looked in the mirror” by bending backwards and looking at the mirror “upside down”
in this case, the object would have appeared flipped on the y-axis

I fail to see how, could you explain your position on this, the only thing i can think of is that its more technical than calculus in some areas, but even then thats about it. Also remember im just talking about basic college algebra which is equivalent of a high school algebra 1 & 2 class.
