AI Thread Summary
Richard Feynman utilized unique techniques for integration, notably the method of differentiation under the integral sign. This approach allows for solving integrals that may be difficult to tackle using standard methods. Resources for learning these techniques include Feynman's own writings and various mathematical articles. The discussion highlights a specific Wikipedia page that outlines this method, which has been bookmarked for further exploration. Understanding these tools can enhance one's integration skills significantly.

I was reading "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman" and noticed that he mentioned he uses a "different set of tools" for integration. Is there any way we can learn these? Did he teach these different methods or is there some article with which I can learn these methods?

Hi Anirudh! One of those tools is described http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_under_the_integral_sign" .

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
