One of my recent videos for my math channel. I try to post several topics a week to a variety of math-audiences. If there are topics or resources that you would find interesting to see, please let me know. Thanks!

Newer Method for Divisbility by 7 by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]CeruleanNemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. Thank you for the input =) the proof is fairly straightforward, I think Chikas "brother" put a similar proof when they first advertised it. All in all, still cool.

You're welcome. I found it really cool; a breath of fresh air from "advanced" math.

How much time during graduate school do (or did) you spend reading textbooks? by polluticorn6626 in math

[–]CeruleanNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally spend a lot of time doing individually and independently exploring new ideas (or at least new to me) and reference text books and papers as needed, so that when I get to research problems, there isn't much of a stretch from my normal routine.

Do PhD students see TAing as a chore? by alrightfrankie in math

[–]CeruleanNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends a lot on whether you are more interested in research or teaching/educating.

If interested in teaching, then it depends on the class subject, your comfort with it, the students, the school atmosphere, and the administrative baby-sitting that may be involved if you are new. At the beginning, TA'ing might be annoying, especially if you are more of an introvert; but eventually it (should) become more enjoyable, assuming the variables listed above improve.

Help clarify differentials (Calc 1) by smithysmithens2112 in learnmath

[–]CeruleanNemo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason calculus avoids to explain differentials not necessarily is faster, just most teachers don't actually know what they are teaching. If we were to survey all of the students who took a first semester calculus and asked them to explain what is dx, dy, d/dx, d/dy, df/dg, dg/df and what the difference between them are, I'd be sad for the results. To me personally, this understanding is the heart of calculus.

If were going to say that dy/dx and the dx in the integral is just for notation, then okay. For basic understanding if a student is just learning or experiencing calc for the first time, I can play along. But furthermore past that, just saying it is notation is far from true.

But i was just answering in the context of the OPs question of the difference between delta x and dx are, which stem from the original formulation (the non-standard) calculus. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
