I find that math.SE has actually turned into a huge dumping ground for trivial math homework questions. Ones whose solutions you would find quite easily in the textbook presribed for the course.

I am in the mood for integration again... does anyone have a fun integral to compute (not tedious, but nontrivial)?

Charlie

I'm in the mood for integrals...simply because you're near me...

Argon

@Charlie :) Spread the love

Charlie

@Argon it's a nice song

"I'm i the mood for love , simply because you're near me"

Argon

@Charlie Now you like quoting songs at me!

Charlie

@Argon I like to quote songs to everyone

"You take a function of $x$ and you call it $y$"

"Take any $x_0$ that you care to try,"

Make a little change and call it $\Delta x$,

The corresponding change in $y$ is what you find next,

:6491501 There we go!

"And then you take the quotient, and now carefully"

Send $\Delta x$ to zero and I think you'll see,

That what the limit gives us, if our work all checks,

Is what we call $\frac{dy}{dx}$, it's just $\frac{dy}{dx}$!

Jayesh Badwaik

you tempted me to watch the video again!!

Argon

@JayeshBadwaik Classic!

More Lehrer...

"Counting sheep, when you're trying to sleep, being fair when there's something to share, being neat when you're folding a sheet...That's mathematics.
When a ball , bounces off of a wall,when you cook from a recipe book ,when you know how much money you hold...That's mathematics "

Argon

@Charlie I know this one too!

Charlie

How much gold can you hold in an elephants ear, when it's noon on the moon then what is it here.that's mathematics

if you could count for a year would you get to infinity or somewhere in that vicinity?

"All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park. "

Hahahaaa

Charlie

@JayeshBadwaik I just answered this on ELU which should become one of the hottest questions. english.stackexchange.com/questions/86785/…

user19161

The hottest questions on ELU always involve sex in some way, hehe.

@Argon yeah

By the way, about a month ago I mentioned that my right ear was blocked because I pushed the wax deeper in while trying to clear it. I think it cleared itself after a while. Amazing natural mechanism.

Charlie

@JasperLoy jesus.... people...

Argon

@JasperLoy Nice to hear that (pardon the pun)!

user19161

Argon

Charlie

@JasperLoy there are things that words cannot express

user19161

@Charlie Yes, I like to share my whole life here, minus some scary details of course. I have lost almost everything in life, so I have nothing to hide.
