Office by Alex Penny
Joshua. 21. Mathematician (Student). Musician. Aspiring Maths teacher. I blog life, Zelda, Backgrounds, funny stuff, ₪ ø lll ·o., and junk.
Feels good. I think I’ll easily be able to use this in the future when teaching classes, could put homework online for pupils. Sorted.
Eventually. Still have no idea how to get it working in a tumblr text post, whether I need an add on or anything.
If I integrate 1/x dx does it become log(x) + c or ln(x) + c?
Because Wolfram Alpha says it becomes log(x), Khanacademy says ln(x) yet both answers in my maths assignment are not correct -.-
It becomes the natural logarithm. Usually denoted as ln (x) but can also be denoted as Log (x), with a little “e” before the x to denote the base of the logarithm.
Well the exams at least. Here’s hoping for good results come graduation!
I FUCKING LOVE MATHEMATICS, AND I WILL SHARE THAT LOVE AS A TEACHER.
My pupils will hate me XD
I hope this is satirical. The blog ideas are incredible for a laugh, really really sick mind.
I don’t know whether I’ve managed a 2:2 or a 1st. It was that weird. I managed to do a good amount of asymptotics with errors and approximations coming nicely together everywhere and then it would fuck up every now and again. Like really badly too. And QUESTION 3:
Here’s an equation with no relevance to the paper.
Expand this separate PDE.
WHAT?!
Anonymous: WHAT'S WITH ALL THE YOUTUBE.
WHY CAN’T I HOLD ALL THIS YOUTUBE.
Apparently this is how xkcd creator Randall Munroe pays his Verizon bill.
That’s one way to stick it to the man. It’s also awesome.
(Yes, there’s a typo in the caption. It’s iπ, not 2π. Carry on. Original here.)
This entire exam will consist of reguritating Taylor expansions into huge polynomials and differential equations. It’s quite insulting for the poor duffing equation that’s likely to turn up.
FEAR THE ACCURACY OF MY APPROXIMATIONS, THEY’RE ONLY VALID BETWEEN 0 AND 1.
Background:
A fellow student who, for sake of anonymity, we’ll call N, hasn’t been turning up to lectures. N stopped turning up halfway during last years lectures. N is a joint student, so N takes half and half Mathematics, and something else. N turned up to last years exams, N failed the maths half.
The wager:
As N wasn’t turning up to lectures, me and Paul settled on a wager. If N turns up to any of the three exams in this last semester, I win. If N does not, Paul wins.
Neither of us are in contact with N. N has failed to turn up to ALL lectures this semester.
The winner gets a weatherspoons pitcher.
My argument:
N has to turn up to these exams, if N ever wishes to resit them N has to have been present for them. If N wants to resit the year, then N needs to be present for them. So it’s needed for N to turn up or otherwise N crashes and burns in N’s last uni year. (Failing the exams is irrelevant, if you can’t resit them, N wont get a degree).
Paul’s argument:
N won’t turn up, N has no reason to. N’s last exams were shambles and N can’t hope of passing these exams. Since N won’t pass them, N won’t get a degree, which means there is no point to N turning up. If N doesn’t turn up for 1 exam, he’s less likely to turn up to the next one. N won’t get a degree as he will fail these exams, N turning up isn’t logical.
And I won! N turned up!
Turns out he won’t get a degree though, N has failed his diss.
(Purely N’s fault btw, N had no reason to not turn up).
Also, the exam was great, Spectral theory down, 5 to go.
