Calculus in the Real World

[@albieadao8806]

Awesome book! you might also want to check similar type of books such as 'How Not To Be Wrong' and 'Shape' by Jordan Ellenberg as well as 'Whats the Use' by Ian Stewart. They made math really 'reachable' and interesting because its applications to real world were highlighted and made sense.

I have a similar book written by Isaac Asimov, a 3 volume set in a single book called Understanding Physics and he uses layman's language to explain physics in everyday life. Great read. For a more of a sci-fi writer, I was surprised he actually wrote a Physics book. This book on maths also sounds like an interesting read tho too. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@channelnamechannel]

check wikipedia. Asimov was a professor of biochemistry at BU

[@MurshidIslam]

Asimov wrote books in all major categories of the Dewey decimal classification except philosophy and psychology. I read somewhere that he wrote almost 500 books.

Oh this is beautiful and literally "phenomenal." It takes phenomena from every day and models it with Calculus. The basic Physics that appears is also delightful. I'm picking it up.

"Wake Up and Smell the Functions"? One time I studied trigonometry so hard that I not only started dreaming about it, but when I looked at my digital clock i saw a trigonometry expression instead of the actual time. I remember it being a tangent.

Qué bonita dedicatoria, realmente se siente el amor a su esposa y su hija. I think that's enough to convince me to try to read it, and also seems really interesting.

Doing robotics homework while watching this and hearing you speak Spanish caught me off guard. love your videos I always feel smarter by just listening to you talk.

[@samisiddiqi5411]

Another delightful book I recommend for you to get are the "History of Greek Mathematics" by the Loeb Classical Library as well as the Oliver Byrne edition of Euclid. The former is a compendium of very important results in Greek Mathematics and demonstrates the Greek methods to obtaining that. It's very nice not only from a mathematical but also humanities standpoint to see how Greeks approached reality while the math is still the same. The latter is a version of Euclid's Elements except the letters are replaced with colors.

My biggest problem in learning Math is understanding how and when to apply it to solve real world, unprepared problems. Most of my effort goes into learning theorems and solving hundreds of equations.

The equation at 3:21 is also used in cosmology to find the total energy radiated by a star!

I saw this book somewhere. I think in my library but last night,I found a book (which I forgot I bought or somebody put it there in 2013, 😂Time traveled🤔.) The book is, "Modern Calculus and Analyric Geometry by Richard A Silverman. It is a paperback, very thick 1038 pages. I have been reading it all morning. I think you may have mentioned Silverman recently. It exlpains sets and functions the best I ever read. I want to thank you so much bc you have the best math and such great, motivating advice.

[@rubensramos6458]

Nice book. My simple contribution for the development of mathematics: What is the analytical solution for ax^(2+e)+bx+c=0 with ‘e’ being a real number? The solutions are x1=(b/(az))Wq(((-c/b)^z)(a/b)z)^(1/z), where z = (1+e) and q = 1-1/z. x2 = (-y(a/b)Wq((-1/y)(b/a)((-c/a)^(-1/y))))^(-1/(1+e)) where y = (2+e)/(1+e) and q = 1+y Wq is the Lambert-Tsallis function (a generalization of the Lambert function). Sometimes the correct solution is x1, in other cases the correct one is x2 and there are cases where x1 = x2, depending on the values of a, b and c. For example, the solution of x^(2.01)-x-1 = 0 is x1 = 1.6125 (up to 4 decimals). While the solution of x^(2.5)+x-1 = 0 is x1 = x2 = 0.6540 (up to 4 decimals).

This reminds me of "The Wonder Book of Geometry" by David Acheson. Oscar Fernandez's book looks similar to that but about calculus instead of geomtry.

I heard that some of those originally working on GPS were dubious about general relativity (not sure if this applied to special relativity as well) and wanted the option of ignoring it just in case. Turns out that accuracy is significantly less without it.

@@maalikserebryakov Hi Maalik, I used 'heard' figuratively, like saying someone who knows about Galileo has 'heard' of him, which would, in normal usage, include written or verbal media. I don't remember the source, but it was probably either a TV science documentary or a Science magazine. I didn't state my comment as fact because I couldn't specify the source.

“Wearing an umbrella” In Spanish Usar the infinitive form of the verb means both to wear and to use. So it is not surprising that the author wrote wearing an umbrella.

Hi, nice channel; this video reminded me of a couple of books by Ya. B. Zeldovich with I. M. Yaglom, "Higher Math for Beginners", and with A. D. Myskis, "Elements of Applied Mathematics". They're much more technical, as you might expect, and most likely not intended for the wide audience, but I would strongly recommend any fresh natural scientist/engineer to take a look at those.

I’m about halfway through this now. Great book!

[@cozuu9190]

​@@TheMathSorcerer I was reading through Infinite Powers as well. The author describes the utility of calculus to problem solving as "Instead of cutting a big problem into a handful of bite-size pieces, it keeps cutting and cutting relentlessly until the problem has been chopped and pulverized into its tiniest conceivable parts, leaving infinitely many of them." Something viscerally clicked at that point and I got hooked on wanting to learn calculus.
