Problem 1: Use these fancy theorems to avoid the terrible fate of performing one integration of 3 on a polynomial. Problem 2: Let's make the student assume that something is wrong, then redefine derivatives
<kmath>
<bofh453> @whitequark fuck this i'm going back to working on numerics where things make sense & behave reasonably.
<mofh>
UmbralRaptop: what the hell is the solution to problem 1
<mofh>
UmbralRaptop: "this involves doing some basic polynomial antidifferentiation, which is hard. let's instead use the Divergence Theorem then Green's Theorem

mofh: IKR!

like I admire the principle (in undergrad me and some friends would have a contest where we'd pick an easy problem from one of our classes and see who could come up with the most ridiculous proof that appealed to the strongest possible theorems we knew), but, like, also... why? it's not any simpler :p
<UmbralRaptop>
Incidentally, I messed up problem 3 a few times because dθ (as a vector) does silly things

yall know that quantum stuff where if you pair two things, observe one, the other is forced to be the opposite, and this happens instantaneously? Wouldn't that just prove we're in a simulation since the particle's properties get updated faster than light speed, and with no communication method between them?

they just flip a bit in the simulation and bam

Sophie-Véronique is *bloody amazing*, like that was literally improvising up a full soundtrack for a silent film (and handling the moment when the DVD froze, then skipped a scene perfectly seamlessly in terms of lietmotifs, I was amazed at that).

it's not about final
