    "Killing two birds with one stone" is a strangely appropriate metaphor, seeing as "calculus" is the Latin word for "stone". :-)

      @Bob Trenwith calculus means simply small stone. Then by extension it was used for those pebbles used for counting.

      ​@Bob Trenwith From Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, A Latin Dictionary:
      calcŭlus , i, m. dim. 2. calx; cf. Paul. ex Fest. p. 46.
      I. In gen., a small stone, a pebble.

    • @calyodelphi124
      @calyodelphi124 6 лет назад +52

      It could (with an asterisk), but not as concisely and as accurately as you can do with complex numbers.
      When dealing with any electronics that uses an AC signal (mains power, audio electronics, RF electronics, etc.) you're no longer dealing with simple real quantities like resistance, capacitance, and inductance. You're now also dealing with complex quantities like capacitive reactance and inductive reactance, which are the imaginary parts that combine with the real part resistance to form the complex value of inductance. In the face of an AC signal, capacitors and inductors exhibit a form of resistance to the time-variant signal. But it's not real resistance. It's imaginary resistance--i.e. reactance. They also induce phase shifts to the AC signal as well.
      Electrical engineering very, very quickly dives deeep down the calculus rabbit hole when you venture into the AC world. In the DC world, 90% of the math you do boils down to basic arithmetic. And there's still plenty of that in the AC world, too! But there's also calculus in the AC world. Lots of it.
      And it's all math that is presently above my head, but I'm still doing what I can to suss it out in my own free time in lieu of being able to afford to go to university. :) (Heck, I'll probably have a better, more intuitive understanding of it all than what any university course could probably teach me. Leg up for when I go back to school!)

    • @calyodelphi124
      @calyodelphi124 6 лет назад +12

      How would you describe the vectors purely numerically? You could probably use the linear algebra approach of 2x1 matrices, but then you have to remember all the additional mathematics that comes with linear algebra as well. The alternative approach is to describe those vectors numerically using complex numbers. Or if you need a notation that describes the vector's length and angle, you'll need z e^(i theta), and you'll need to know how to convert between the two. Remembering that z e^(i theta) = z(cos(theta) + i sin(theta)) is a lot easier than having to remember a whole bunch of extra stuff regarding linear algebra and matrix algebra. :P

  • @mike4ty4
    @mike4ty4 5 лет назад +81

    One last thing though - technically, you would need to prove the power rule in fact is valid for complex numbers to make this airtight, though I suppose you're going on that that's already been done: nonetheless, it wouldn't necessarily be justifiable at, say, the usual Calc II-like level where this seems to target, to do that.
    But that is easily remedied: you can first assume _as a heuristic or hypothesis_ that the power rule will work for n = i (seems reasonable, no?) and then after carrying through with it, go back and _differentiate your final answer_ to see that you do indeed get cos(ln(x)) + i sin(ln(x)), thereby proving that not only does the rule apply for that imaginary power but also that you have indeed integrated the two integrals that you wanted to "with one stone". This is not circular because you did not reference the conclusion as justification; rather simply only took it as a hypothesis to then later be verified.

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 5 лет назад +18

      I think you could prove it using Cauchy's residue theorem, but that's college complex analysis stuff... very beautiful though, because it makes a lot of tough integrals melt away magically.

    • @CatchyCauchy
      @CatchyCauchy 4 года назад +1

      Just do it with implicit differentiation. Let y=x^n, where n is element of all complex numbers.
      y=x^n |take the ln
      ln(y)=ln(x^n) = n ln(x) |differentiate with respect to x
      (1÷y)×y'= n÷x |multiply both sides by y
      y' = ny÷x | y= x^n
      y'=nx^n÷x =n×x^n-1
      That's how you derive the power rule, for all integers, and if you integrate you just do the reverse

    • @tensor131
      @tensor131 4 года назад +3

      @@CatchyCauchy I think it's bit heavier than that. Problem is that all the standard calculus results (real) relate to gradients and area .. and that is how the fundamental theorem of calculus (which is where the n+1 rule emerges) comes from. Now as soon as you make the function non-real all those concepts disappear so I guess everything needs to be re-derived? Fortunately most of the standard results still hold in complex analysis ... and you get a whole lot of (beautiful) extra embellishments :)

So this method always works for integrals like this, but doesn't for products unless you get really tricky. If you want to see what I mean, try to use this a trick to solve the two following integrals.
    e^x*sin(x)
    e^x*cos(x)*sin(x)

    Once, I wanted to 'spin' a telescope mirror with epoxy resin.
    But I needed to calculate the focal length of the mirror based upon something I could measure, like the change of 'height' of the edge of the liquid as it rose up the container due to centripital force. I could place a marker on the edge of the circular container and spin the liquid until the edge reached the marker.. But how high above the flat resting level of the liquid to place the marker?
    After an hour or two and a little bit of differentiation by rule, I solve the problem. I think I was even happier than this guy is here :)
    One of the greatest achievements of my mathematical life (I'm an engineer really, not a mathematician).
    Of course subsequently I lost the piece of paper on which I did the work, and have never been able to recreate it :)
