I haven't taken diffeq yet... is it fun? is partial diff more fun? I've gotta decide on my math electives.

 

[Matthiasa]

Diffeq is more practical then fun... It's fun like the most painful thing you ever done is fun. PDE even more so.

lol, sounds like fun

There's no proof. No proof. No credit. How do I know the answer is correct? "ALWAYS SHOW YOUR WORK". :sneaky:

 

[Matthiasa]

Plug it back into the equation...

"then a miracle happens"


there's your 'proof'

"then a miracle happens"

I love that proof, it never fails.

i used it quite alot in school.

cannot dispute it.

The best is when you write code that you understand, but can't explain well to a person that doesn't have a firm grasp on coding in general. I've ended up having to say a couple of times "Just trust me, it works".

How about the miracle that both of you survived birth with your heads so far up your butts. :whiste:

and yet.. we're not the ones asking for help with high school math...

How hard was that...

Differential equations are high school? Pfft, I learned that shit in 5th grade.

 

[alkemyst]

the answer is 42, but as x approaches tree fity it reaches over 9000.

Oh, I didn't need help. I posted it to give all you bored people something to do and to keep your math skills sharp.

We are all impressed by your intelligence. Can we conclude from your username that you flip burgers for a living? What a waste. :whiste:

The answer is always 42!!! Darn you universe! *shake fist*

Yeah.. That is why you needed step by step instructions on how to complete a pretty basic looking homework problem...

Call it what it is and you'll get way more help then berating stupid answers and trying to hold the appearance of being "smart".

 

[AstroManLuca]

hay gaize i has an equation:

x = 6/0 solve for x

For what it's worth though - to sharpen my otherwise rusty skills, what method (besides typing it into Wolfram Alpha or Mathematica) works for solving that?

Ahaha, I have one similar. My co-workers all have sigged me in their emails using one of my most often used quotes.

"F*ck it, it's gonna work!"

To the OP, have you considered that the problem is trying to teach you the "process" of solving an equation?

Here is your "process" so far, have someone else do it. Fail.

Hold on, I haven't seriously looked at it

he he. The one I think of most commonly. I was paired with a guy that struggled to write a "hello world" program. We were supposed to implement a simple RSA crypto system for small texts. Well, I wasn't satisfied with just doing that, so I made a PRNG (Blumbblumbshub), a fast probabilistic primality test (Miller-Riban), and of course the full RSA algorithm (Fast modular exponentiation, Reverse euclidean algorithm, and the actual RSA encryption/decryption). I swear, I would have worked more as a team with the guy, if he wasn't such a total retard. I tried just to explain how RSA works to him, I don't think he ever got it.

Ours (mine) worked great, it was faster and more versatile then everyone else's crappy implementations.
