AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding challenging problems related to derivatives and antiderivatives, specifically mentioning the integral of sec(x)/(a-tan(x)). Participants suggest using resources like the CRC manual and Mathematica for solving tough integrals. Mathematica is identified as a commercial application for mathematical problem-solving, with a link provided for access. However, some participants emphasize that the focus should be on finding challenging problems rather than relying on software solutions. The conversation highlights the desire for difficult mathematical challenges rather than easy solutions.

Hi,
I am looking for some tough problems on derivatives and anti derivates. Can someone suggest me a link, thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
How about this:

\int\frac{sec(x)}{a-tan(x)} \ dx

thanks is there a link were i can find some more
 
The toughest integrals are no match for a handy CRC manual or mathematica!

what is mathematica is it a web site
 
You won't find this one in CRC. At least it isn't in mine. Mathematica, yes. Which is a commercial application for solving math problems.

But, Mathematica doesn't count in this case. I think the challenge is what is sought.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
