What’s the worst thing about limits?
• Is it always having to amplify by the conjugate to eliminate indeterminate forms? NO.
• Is it having to learn some limits by heart (especially for trig functions)? NO.
• Is it having to sometimes use L’Hôpital-Bernoulli’s rule over and over again? NO.
• Is it having to just write “lim” before each line? YES. FUCKING YES. WHY OH GOD WHY I HATE THE NOTATION.
The most infuriating part of it is that it’s just a notation and it could so easily be changed, BUT NO, we’re stuck with this shit.
why is everything named after euler
sounds like a jane austen book title
The intimacy of reassurance.
You guys are never gonna believe what the name of this sculpture is
I was dicking around in polar coordinates last night and I found something... extensible.
r = sqrt(sec(2θ)), an ordinary hyperbola. One of the five conic sections. In Cartesian coordinates x^2 = y^2 + 1.
r = sqrt(sec(3θ)), a triperbola :)
And now here's r = sqrt(sec(aθ)) for some other values of a:
a = [1/2 2/7 6/1 5/2 3/5 5/9]
