SGS Presents: The Trapezoid Rule!

[@douglasstrother6584]

I remember this from Freshman Physics (over 40 years ago). My Professor, Ron Ruby (UC Santa Cruz), showed how to do integrals using a chemical balance. Plot your function or data on sheet of graph paper and cut it out. Cut out a 10x10 square of the same paper and weigh it; then compute the weight of one square. Weigh the plot and use the wieght/square to compute the area.

Damn, you remember it too? 😆

Channeling the inner Michael Penn with the "that's a good place to stop" line! Beautiful. 🙂

There's an error in the title. This is more commonly known as "Tai's Model."

[@willhunting8733]

Love these kinds of videos man. It would be awesome if you would do these a bit more frequently.

[@douglasstrother6584]

"Analysis of Numerical Methods" by Eugene Isaacson and Herbert Keller (Dover) is a good read.

You could use a selfie stick with a tripod to position your phone, if that's what you're using to record. You can position the phone so that it has an elevated view of the page.

Back to Numerical Analysis🔥

[@fiawornuetorpeniel3987]

one of the hardest class i've taken. Numerical analysis is no joke.

[@JPL454]

@@fiawornuetorpeniel3987 Maybe mine is taught different, because I am usually bad at Analysis yet Numerical Analysis was the easiest class I've had this semester

[@rogermccauley9759]

This is math I might be able to do. LOL

I'm taking calculus 2 j wish I had you as my tutor or teacher
