Yeah well I get lazy from time to time, and incoherent messages happen. My apologizes, but really the analysis wasn't really needed. I guess though if that's what you do primarily for long periods of time (i.e. Scienists), you do it subconsciously.

Anyways I got it now. So I will work on it again with my old math book that has been collecting dust.

So I believe this thread can be closed or whatever you guys do with threads that are pointless to keep open. Been to many forums, so Im assuming thats what most do, so don't kill me if I am wrong.

Well it was more of an example...nothing to do with Calculus.

Like what you said:

Non - Calculus Method

"you could average the distance travelled" vs "over the time taken"

1)^ Simplification

General Mathematics

"Rounding numbers"

2)^Simplification

1 and 2 are common.

I don't think it's an attempt either, it's much easier to explain it properly.

But thanks for the deep analysis! I will try and construct my sentences in a more formal matter, using more precise/perfected ideas.

Mercury

Symbol: Hg Atomic Number: 20 Part of the Transition Metals. Very toxic and dangerous. Used in thermometers. It has the lowest and highest freezing and melting points, respectively.

OTHER POSSIBILITIES

Americium (%25)

Carbon (%25)

Iron (%12)

Oxygen (%12)

I am a happy man, thank you.

I'll have to read it all over but what I am getting is that:

Your measuring a curve (essentially?). I guess you can average it out but that makes it less accurate in a sense (Kind of like taking a bunch of rounded numbers and adding them up...well not exactly but you know...). With Calculus you can take any given section or point (instanteous?) and find out the rate of change to a more accurate/percise calculation?

You know I've take a course with Calculus in college and some how pasted it. I must of done REALLY well on the 2/3 rd's of the semesters material. Eeek.

I am no genius, but I am sure Calculus shouldn't be so difficult for me to understand. I am having an awful time trying to grasp the main purpose for it. Through that I can figure it out myself....so I was hoping one of you people could take the time to explain it to me in plain basic english on how it works.

I believe that everything should be able to be explained simply. I think my brain work on some sort of deductive method of seeing the whole picture, or tries to anyway, and then gets confused not know the basics and can't see the basics.

SO.

What I gather is that your trying to find the instanteous rate of change between "Something" as it reaches 0, or the limit of 0. Why Zero? whats the significance? and Instanteous? How? Why is that relevant?

I didn't want to make a new thread about it...but I might need to ask more questions as someone explains.

I also would like to thank all those who help so I can get over this barrier. I enjoy science, but without the mathematical knowledge its hard to get past the basics. Not that I will ever get past them, hell I am still figuring out SP/GR and QM and Ferimons, and....Gluons, and warped space time ( Still having a hard time visualizing it but I am getting there. )

For a mere Metal Casting tech I bet I am treading in increasingly deeper waters without the knowledge of how to swim, but i'll see how far I can get.

p.s.

Sorry for the long read, I am sure most of it is pointless but yeah.

All I know of is Aluminium has a foam version, and I am not sure the casting applications for them.

It looks pretty cool though.

You forgot for metal:

Thixotropic casting (SSM), Evaporative Polystrene (Lost Foam), and Investment (Lost Wax) casting.

I don't know how many processes you want in detail but there are alot more in some regards such as:

Heat Treatment (metal)

T4,T6, Normalizing, etc

Air cooled, Quenched, etc

Grain Refrainment.

Casting:

Sand Casting

Perment mold

LP/HP

Gravity

More....

Well thats all I remember for now.

I'll think up some more, I should know all of them because of my field but, tired today and I am still jus a student in a sense.

I don't know, I personally learnt it from my parents and Martial Arts ( ). Basically its controlled breathing. I am not sure the biological affects of doing it, but I am sure there is a psychological affect that indirectly helps physically. You reduce irregular breathing (I guess) and its puts you in a relaxed state, maybe reducing stress.

It's mythologically idea I think states it set you in some form of spiritual enlightenment. I am sure a science forum would be very quick to disprove that.

As for methods...I am sure there are websites within a google clicks away. I however (When I did, which I should do more often) was just sitting cross legged (you know to open the 6th gate of the spiritual garden, if anything to make it look like I know what I am doing), relax, clear mind, breath in slowly, hold for a few and then exhale. Rinse, re-apply, and repeat.

That's a relevant post right? If not I'll get it sooner or later.

So we talked.

 

And she said perhaps this friendship should come to an end.

 

Because I didn't give her the time she needed.

 

And that email freaked her out more too...she said that that was not called giving her time.

 

I told her I gave her some time' date=' and then I got worried, so I tried to explain things to her. I also told her that I solve problems by talking them out, not keeping it shut inside myself, so I didn't understand exactly what she wanted.

 

She told me that I should stop talking about this, and just relax and shut up.

 

I shut up for a while, and then finally asked her: So this is at an end?

 

She said she doesnt know.

 

I said okay.

 

I think it's over.

 

I think I thought we were much closer than we really were.

 

I was too good to her.

 

I helped her in everything.

 

I think I am crushed.

 

But I am way more angry with myself.

 

My anger crushes the part of me that is crushed.

 

My anger is overwhelming, it wants to crush something.

 

I can't believe I was so nice to someone who would do this to me.

 

Who can't even understand me.

 

I deserve it.

 

I will learn from it.

 

It is over, I want it to be over.

 

Thanks for your help, everyone.[/quote']

 

 

You know....

 

(Story time)

 

I was always a quiet child who was always happy. I had purity. FF 20 years later and I am pretty "thick skinned" mentally and physically too. Well being slightly derranged helps. My past is not important, what is important is that I've been through alot and Ive seen relatives go through alot as well, and know that even my parents life had been worse.

 

Point is...Everyone of us still exists, and we push forward everyday. Bad things happen, this wont be the last problem you will ever face. You will get stronger from it. Pain is only temp. if a) you are true to/respect/"love" yourself and b) Don't run infront of transport trucks.

 

Another thing is your definition of love needs to be examined. That gets people into trouble all the time. Especially at younger ages. You cant just sum up feelings of attractions for someone as love. I find it hard to believe someone can love and not be loved back by the person in question. Why? well I guess experience has good wieght. Its nothing I can explian, since I dont even think I know what it is. I mean if its something like a "crush" or a deep attraction you play mind tricks on yourself when you are convincing or association the two as one.

 

Maybe I am a bit too pessitmistic and my way only works for me. You will be fine, If your young, confusion is normal, just think it out. It's normal. You know like when your alone at night *wink* *wink*
