Thanks for the help guys :)

The area we trying to find is not the top left quadrant. I apologize if my phrasing was misleading. I said top left portion which was terribly vague. It is the area of the circle from 6 to 8 divided by two. Its not so much that I hate using geometry. If it is possible to find exact answers...

In one of the homework sheets my teacher gave us, we had to calculate area geometrically (meaning no integration was used). Some parts, she said, we needed to just eyeball which I hate doing. In this case the top left portion of a circle described by the equation...

Ok, thank you that clears it up very well :)

Thank you all for the help. I do agree I think Leibniz notation would be much more organized, but what do I need to see when I see du = 1/x dx. What does that mean. Is that a useful form or does it need to be altered.

The entire first semester of my Calculus class we used Lagrange's notation, f'(x), f''(x), etc.. So at the beginning of second semester the teacher kinda casually switched over to Leibniz notation, dy/dx, which left all of the class dazed. I understood it pretty well until she did a simple...

Basically what I'm asking is what are some options as jobs (with a physics degree) if I don't get a job researching physics.

My dream job would be to research and study physics but I'm aware that it is an extremely competitive field and the chances of that happening are slim at best. So I am now at a crossroads. I am about to head off to college and I want to figure out what I should do. I definitely want to pursue my...

Honestly, I don't know either lol.

One of Godels Incompleteness Theorems says that a system cannot demonstrate its own consistency. This made me question human consciousness. We can say we are real, so does that make us incomplete?

I'm just curious if anyone would be interested in directing in my physics study or teaching me some physics. School is moving too slow for me. I'm am in the 11th grade and I have not had the option to take a single physics or calculus course. I have had to learn and take notes by scouring the...

Thanks, this helped a lot. I was very confused.

Do you know what might be a different view? How might entropy not be do to our ignorance?

Sorry, I phrased it in a bad way which made it sound like you said that. I was just stating what I thought. That since entropy is due to our "ignorance", there is no randomness in the universe and that it is deterministic.

I'm saying isn' t it possible that the universe, for any being, is deterministic. But what can be determined from the information depends on the being observing it. For example, we could know that the universe is deterministic, but we just can't determine what will happen because we aren't able to.
