This is a good image
the best part is that statement isn’t true even with the axiom of choice
Accidentally set a bunch of dependencies to afterok instead of afternotok but I did that earlier today sober too
thank you smarter tumblr user than me for pointing this out
This is boring I feel normal
I don’t even have a justification to drink until I no longer feel normal because you did the thing I told you to. Evil spectre
Here’s my ODEs homework. The actual function is cos(sqrt(a+1)x) and the other ones are perturbation theory approximations of it. You can see when epsilon is actually small as it’s supposed to be they’re pretty good but as it gets larger things get out of hand with the secular terms
why are we bringing the state into this
I want to understand secular terms a little better. I understand the textbook’s overview of them but it’s very shallow. I’m gonna read more
I though it was a typo when I first saw it. I was like “scalar terms, you mean??”
it seems like taylor series are better at longterm approximations than whatever’s going on here
the last week or so of acalc has been about how nice the taylor series is at approximating things… it’s kinda beautiful
Well this is for, like, an ODE
we never learned this shit in ODEs
i feel slighted
It’s very easy to get from that ODE to the perturbation theory estimate. Due to the problem they chose, it’s also very easy to get, you know, the solution to the problem, but sometimes you’ll get something harder
Was your ODEs class an introduction to differential equations, or was it something you take after intro to diffeq?
intro i think. we only have one ode’s class
