The discussion revolves around a calculus problem involving the function E^(t^2). The original poster attempts to solve the problem by deriving both sides of the equation but is corrected for not actually finding the integral. Participants emphasize the importance of distinguishing between finding an integral and its derivative. Clarity in mathematical communication is highlighted as essential for solving such problems. The thread underscores the need for accurate terminology in calculus discussions.

It looks fine, except you aren't finding the integral. You are finding the DERIVATIVE of the integral. Try to be clear on that.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
