AI Thread Summary
MyMathLab is primarily designed for enrolled students, making it challenging to access without course registration. Users seek alternatives for self-study in Calculus, expressing a desire for interactive resources that provide examples and problem-solving opportunities. Suggestions include exploring online textbooks or interactive software similar to MyMathLab. The MIT OpenCourseWare is mentioned as a potential free resource for learning Calculus. Overall, while MyMathLab may not be accessible without enrollment, various online options exist for independent study.

OK, so I spent some time in the military and basically lost everything I'd learned in high school to the point where a few months ago even college algebra was difficult. Now that I've spent some time in school and on my own re-aquainting myself with things I'm ready to move onto Calculus. I want to be able to take Calculus II in the Fall but don't want to take an excellerated Calculus I course during the summer - just seems like summer courses are designed for students who need to pass a course to satisfy some requirement. Doesn't really seem to help much if you need that course to pursue upper level courses in that same department.

At any rate, I've been using MyMathLab with College Algebra and then Trig courses. I want to use MyMathLab to teach myself Calculus without having to pay for attending a course. Is there a way that MyMathLab can be used without enrolling in a course? Or is there a kind of online textbook that is similar to MyMathLab?

Or I guess just any interactive software where I can access lots of examples and do problems on my computer would be fine. Like, an interactive Schaum's I guess...
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
