Re: Calculus Query
You know what? I was tempted to try this problem, but my hatred of calculus overcame me while I was working some stuff out. Calculus tends to have more letters than numbers. This is math, not grammar... These letters also tend to not be in the English alphabet. Again, this is math, not a foreign language.
Today's episode of Sesame Street was brought to you by... The number e ...And, the letter mu.
There also tends to be odd quirks. Take Gabriel's Horn. How can you possibly have something with an infinite surface area, infinite cross-section, but a finite volume!? And the volume isn't just finite, it happens to be a very specific number/non-English letter: pi.
Yes, I realize the power of calculus. I also respect it. Seeing it work in physics still amazes me. But, I just don't like it.
