No way. Bad stewardship of mod points is an offense punishable by... uh... loss of your mod points.

Please keep beating on me. It's been a weak response so far.

Agreed. Remember, people, that this degree of moderation can be hazardous to some peoples health. Please, leave jobs like this to experts. Or to people with unlimited points.

That being said, remember that the cost for a negative mod right now is 50+ points. That could help over 25 starving forumnites by giving them each a +1 mod. Think of the needy! Make your donations today! The forum member you save may be one that you know!

That's not what I do. If you refresh you have to get the files all over again from your computer or from the web, the latter being more time-consuming. Of course, if you have a IBM Blue Gene PC (due out in 2083) this should be no problem. But as for me (and my household - literary reference), I just click the "CaravelNet Forum" link again, with images turned off (of course.) On one occasion I used two tabs, alternating between them. While one loads, I click the bar on the other tab. Then I hit the CaravelNet Forum image and go over to the next tab and click the bar there. This continues until I feel sane.

Going back on topic (?) I want -(e^πi) mod points, please. What does that mean? Use your imagination! It's rather complex.

OKay, let's all take a deep breath now.

There. Now let's stop the insanity. I'm already hearing windchimes in my head - let's not take it further.

EDIT: And next year for Senshi-Con, I might just have to dress up as Slayer and get say Obi to go as Beethro. Maybe do a little show thing, promote the game a bit :D

Six times nine is equal to forty two. Phew, I can still get my maths right, following the madness described above.

I love how the name of this thread subliminally creeps into the content of it's posters' postings.

Anyway, how could always think of e^πi=-1 graphically. Robin mentioned Euler's Formula. When you go around the unit circle on a complex plane pi radians, you'll end up at -1 (just as you would with a real unit circle). The cool thing about complex graphing is that every point can be expressed as both a scalar number and a vector. e^πθ is a handy way of expressing a point, as proven by Euler (who might be the greatest mathematician of all time, next to Gauss and, er, Stigant). The natural logarithm and base continues to tickle me. It’s used mostly in integral and derivative calculus, though. I never really got why d(e^x)/d(x)=1/x

On an x-axis-y-axis graph, if you imagine y=e^x, then you might notice graphically that as x approaches negative infinity y approaches 0. When does y approach -1? When x is πi. This never happens, of course, but in theory it does.

Robin, ex makes it seem like e is multiplying itself by x. This isn't so true, it's a power. (I've got the power!)

Come on, perhaps we are a little weak with maths, but we can still recognise a pun when we see one. ;) (Okay, so perhaps I hanged around too much with people doing such puns)

Because d(e^x)/dx is not 1/x. I know you know d(e^x)/dx = e^x and d(ln(x))/dx = 1/x and you just messed it up a little bit.

<---- Here you have the demonstration for both.

To find d(ln(x))/dx = 1/x you just need the definition of the derivative of a function and the definition of e.

To find d(e^x)/dx = e^x you need the derivative of ln(x) and:
A) dy/dx = 1/(dx/dy) or
B) the chain rule

Thanks, Bombadil!

I always like to look into mathematical topics before I'm "supposed to" study them, but I constantly shift around and learn most stuff and forget some minor tidbits. So that's great reminder of what I'm supposed to learn in 2 years.

I also like how the pen is laid across the paper. Very... seductive for a piece of paper with calculus on it.

No problem. Don't hesitate to ask anything.

I like that pencil and I love writing with pencil so I put her (just joking) on the photo.

And here it is in a .pdf that might be easier to read.

Note: I just copied Bombadil's notation, so the credit/blame goes to him, but it looks right to me as well so if it comes to it, I'll foot some of the blame :blush.
