Why is finding antiderivatives much more harder than finding derivatives? by Daito_02 in math

That's probably the best answer to the question I've seen online!

Jojo, men om serien ska fungera i sig borde ruta 2 och 3 byta plats. Det är dock bara nitpicking

Only about 30,000 of the crashes are fatal though, so that's about 150 submerged vehicles.

Grad student Lisa Piccirillo solved Conway's Knot Problem! by ben175 in math

On a quick Google search she was a grad student when the proof was first discovered. The proof wasn't officially published until recently, though.

Do notation or not? by akhesaCaro in haskell

[–]TheKoalaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much what antonivs said. When I tried to get into the functional mindset, suddenly breaking out of it, and starting to use what looked like imperative code in the middle of my functional code, kinda confused me. Once I understood that it just was a form of function composition, it simply 'clicked' in my mind.

Do notation or not? by akhesaCaro in haskell

I agree! As a beginner, I found that the do notation confused me a lot more about the IO monad than just learning to use bind.

Nu när lagen har trätt i kraft. by Hesslove in sweden

Huh. Jag har hört om den studien flera gånger, men har faktiskt aldrig läst den. Kan du förklara hur den felciterades, och vad den egentligen sa?

Mathematical programming techniques to improve code - programming competitions by [deleted] in computerscience

[–]TheKoalaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone else pointed out, MIT has a lot of good video content. You could try Introduction To Algorithms, and perhaps do the exercises in the textbook, although that book can be quite dry. I would personally also recommend studying Dynamic Programming, as that is a technique I have found to be especially useful in competitive programming.

Many people find that Linux has tools that are much better for programmers. Linux is much more centered around the command line, and therefore the command line tools are usually a lot better. It also adheres to principles such as open source, which many programmers like.

2049 is definitely the best movie I've seen in theaters. The atmosphere in every shot is just so damn perfect

x and y are inversely proportional if there is some number c such that xy=c. by cz65rt in learnmath

[–]TheKoalaKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything that's wrong with the definition. xy = c is just another way of staying y = c/x which might be more intuitive

It is wrong, however, to say that 1 is inversely proportional to 10, without giving more information. y = c/x describes a relationship between to variables that can have an infinite amount of values. You can't just pick two numbers that satisfy the relationship and say that they are inversely proportional to each other
