AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the need to learn integrals due to a lack of instruction from the teacher, who has been preoccupied with other tasks. The student expresses concern since integrals will constitute a significant portion of the final exam and seeks online resources for self-study. A participant provides a helpful link and questions whether the student should be learning this material independently, suggesting potential issues with the teacher's competence. The student clarifies that limited class time remains, with little focus on integrals, prompting the desire to self-learn. The conversation highlights the urgency of mastering integrals in preparation for the upcoming exam.

Hello everyone

We just started talking about integrals. Unfortunately, our teacher wasn't there last class so we just had to figure it out by ourselves.. and integrals are going to be about 50% of our final exam.. so I was wondering if someone knows some websites to help me learn integrals.. I know that an integral is the contrary of the derivative.. but I'd just like to read about it so I can be ready for my exam.. feel free to post anything that would help. Also, I don't know if it was the right forum to post. sorry if it isn't supposed to be here
thanks a lot

Here is everything you need...if you have any questions, please let me know.

One question though : are you sure you need to learn all this by yourself? If so, i would surprise my teacher with a lawsuit for incompetency...

Well, we had 4 classes left. The first one was a 2hour class.. he was busy doing corrections for the other class so he told us to read and try to understand.. then 15min before the end of the class he started to talk about integrals.. then the next class was a maple initiation so we did nothing about integrals. Now there are 2 classes left.. one is another maple class and the other one I really don't know. I hope we can view them in that class. But he was a good teacher for the other things. He seems really busy now.. that's why I want to learn them by myself. Thanks a lot for the reply I'm going to read that website now.

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

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 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
