Math always used to laugh at me in high school. I can still hear the x-axis taunting me. :(

If the x-axis taunted you, the z-axis must have tormented you. :( Here is a hug of sympathy, sweetie! :hug:

Math perfected its maniacal laughter taunting  me. Sorry about that Page.

Good idea, Drew :D I'm horrible at math, though.  I can do basic math, but that's about it.  And even that sometimes requires a calculator... lol

When doing math problems, I always keep a calculator, paper, and pencil handy.

Writing down the different steps in problem solving really helps me focus, it's almost meditative. :D

Mathematicians are sweet in their habits. I know, what I am talking about, lived for five years with one (my K).

I know many of you balk at Calculus...

gallery_24498_1553_3240.jpg ...but at least, in this case, you already know the answer. ;) 

But I used to know Calculus ...  I did my university entrance exams (A levels) in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics ...  now if I meet Calculus again, it would be awkward ... to say the least ...

Hehe, just to clarify @hohochan657 and @Reader1810 I meant the equation itself. Y'all already know the answer is two! :D

Maybe a refresher will jog your memory and it wouldn't be that awkward. :)

I'm here to support my brother... although; my Dr wrote me a note excusing me. Math isn't good for my health!

Are you excused for the day or excused from the subject ??

 

Hello JP !  <waves>

What ?!  Two, the answer for that bl--dy equation is 2 ??

Yep! :D 

 

Warning, the spoiler box contains math! :P

Here is the definition of the Definite Integral:

Here is the function, f(x):

593a0c773d205_thefunction.PNG.e51c9964d52e068c913d5dbc913f301a.PNG simplified, it is:

Here is the function, F(x), the anti-derivative:

593a0cedc5a1d_theAntiderivative.PNG.4875dbdd339f23c97e776f929bfccc28.PNG Where C is a constant.

 

Now, let's plug in the parts into the Definition...

F(1) - F(0) equals:

Simplifies to:

Which means,
