Oo, how did it go??

(By the way, the usergroup should be up soon. king achilles just had some minor things, including removing AoG as group leader to focus on his clan and a description of the group.)

Sweet! Don't forget to add me...I need this! I just got a 70 something on my test in elementary algebra...granted most of the points off were me forgetting to put the negative sign back on the final answer after dividing a large negative by a positive...stupid mistakes like that...but I still need the help!

lol. They just don't trust me as group leader. All because of QQ

The forum's up

And everyone has been officially added.

uhm didnt had enough time and make some stupid mistakes:: 21/6= 3
have 20/30... think I would need 22 to go to final

Can you teach me to count?

i r can join?

I've got Calc III next semester, and I was starting to struggle with the last few chapters of II. Also, will you be able to provide help in physics? I've got to finish my physics sequence, I stopped at 211. I need to take 212/213, which won't start until next winter. That would also help.

TG, the numbers of your classes don't really help; we all don't go to your school. I can help though in both Calc and Physics (am taking Calc III currently, have only been to 4 classes and would have an A if I remembered to do my hw).

Oh well in Oregon most of the math and science classes are the same number, because there is a lot of transfer from community colleges. 212/213 I assume would be Phy II and III with a Calc base. The books we use are retarded, I can't understand anything they say.

-TG

Haha Physics III? Is that Modern Physics for you? We had Physics I, II and then first semester of sophomore year I took Modern. Relativity is a bitch just because it doesn't make sense. But I should be able to help you. Most of Physics II is cake though.

Physics student wanting in!

AoG is there a lazy-persons way to do partial fraction decompositions and integration involving centroids?

i just finished watching the 4 part BBC series A History Of Mathematics. i loved it.

have you seen it Victor ?

And trigonometric substitutions into integrals. I'm not allowed to use my calculator in this class so I actually have to start paying attention in Calc 2.

Trig subs are really easy, you just have to remember which one to use. In my class last semester all our tests were open book, so I dog-eared the page with the chart. It pretty much just comes down to simplifying the x^2+/-a^2 or a^2-x^2 under the square root to a^2(trig function)^2, which cancels out to just a*trig function, multiplied by the d/dx of your substitution of course. But there isn't a simpler way that I know of, that way is pretty short anyway.

-TG

Centroids? I've never even heard of that word!

And there isn't a lazy way to to PFDs except just to skip a few steps. Like, once I am able to get the denominator of the rational number into its irreducible form, I just go automatically into (denominator)=A(shit)+B(f*ck). PFDs are ridiculously simple to check though (just add the fractions...).

Trig sub was actually the hardest part of Calc II for me because I skipped all of those classes...haha. The main thing is to make sure, like TG said, to substitute your d/dx and shit for theta and whatnot. It's kind of a bitch.

My calc class is engineering based and so the 'centroids' I guess could also be called the center of mass or center of momentum.

aren't those the curves you get if you rolled a circle on a line?

Fixed.

That is a cycloid you are thinking of.

Anyways, Victor if I could join that would be awesome. My specialties are Set Theory and Statistical Theory, so if you are looking for applied math help, you need to ask someone else.

Sign me up. If you guys are really nice, I might even help with your calc homework.

can i join plz? love maths, plan to do it at uni in a couple of years and got a couple of questions for you lot

for example, "Riemann hypothesis, WTF?!?"

In please!
I think I can help here.
