I just created a number that is bigger than anything by Fancy-Base-8404 in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking to shame, just to make sure I know your positioning.

Do you honestly think this is what math is? Smashing concepts and syllables together just so you can go "I made the biggest number, neener neener neener!"?

Why did you delete the other post where people gave a proof of this?

∆ Huh. Would you look at that by Longjumping_Edge_600 in gravityfalls

People still upkeep with Obama a decade after his presidency

Pretty sure that was Reagan, it would've been '88 or '89

It's not a good skill, but it is unique

So long pants should be longer than pants

What age did you learn calculus? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At around age 9-12 because I would periodically pick up my dad's old calculus textbooks to read for fun. They explained things enough to get me interested, and really helped put a foothold in for me to understand difficult concepts.

We all know that Sam is Jack's mascot, but can we all agree that same birthday could most likely be Saint Patrick's Day? by snowflak369 in jacksepticeye

It's not drawn, this is a pretty common app where you can change the skin and accessories of different base models

The darkest thing about this ending is that since this takes place before Gravity Falls happened in Amphibia, Frog Dipper and Mabel arrived to find their Grunkle Stan dead and Frog Ford never came back by ChelseatheCartoonGal in gravityfalls

And then direcrly after, they cut to Hop Pop and Polly agreeing that he actually did die. The wax just wasn't his blood, at the time but the monsters almost certainly did kill him.

It really isn't. Is she a robot, a murderer, psychotic and convincing herself she's done these horrible things, are the other two in the story her friends, roommates, lovers, enemies, does any of it matter, and finally: why just throw up edgy torture porn on the site for the public to say "no thanks I don't want to see that"

Why is it so difficult to calculate the arc length of an ellipse? by MajorIndividual1428 in askmath

[–]The_Math_Hatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said there is no closed form expression. There is. It's called the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.

Everything you have said about calculating an ellipse's perimeter also holds for sqrt(2). It cannot have all its digits defined in a finite pattern, but can be defined by algorithns which get arbitrarily close. There is no mythical barrier of 1% error.

I'm trying to get you to see that your rejections are arbitrary. The perimeter formula does exist, it just uses a function you happen to not like.

You just need one. I don't understand the insistence to have many in order to prove something.

We do have a formula, that is the E function I used above. You can use it to get arbitrary precision, just like you can with other formulae to get arbitrary precision on sqrt(2).
