It's kind of funny, he says he doesn't like guns but then gets into people getting their skulls crushed.

@bluegrassaficionado men of knowlege are usually adverse to weapons of destruction and i am glad of that, deal with it

Well that's common and to be expected - in school you have to make certain simplifications and a lot is left out - in college/university or whatever you more of the basics and no simplifications are made just for the sake of "dim witted pubils" ;)I'm serious: the deeper you go the more students that really want to know the "why" will gain.I always asked the "why" in school and always wondered if I was just to stupid to crasp those stories..... I studied math in the end ;)

Why would he not be a fan of guns? Better question, why was this interjection needed? It wasn't. That was a completely unnecessary, totally subjective comment. Guns are every bit as much of a useful tool as a chalkboard, or a hammer, or a wrench, etc. It's JUST a tool. Don't ruin good scientific discussion by disclosing personal (irrational) prejudices. I hate when teachers do that.

The man just fired a weapon in the classroom... 100 Points.

Yes, It's technically just a matter of notation, although understanding the concept of a derivative makes it so much easier.

This guy makes so much more sense than my high school teacher ever did in finnish.. I learn now much better even though my native language is finnish :D Good lecturer!

@beefjilvin'Because, you see, v = dx/dt does not require knowledge in high level mathematics.

haha.

beefjilvin (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Wait... so you're 15... you're a D student in math... which means you would be in something like Algebra I... so tell me how you are able to understand the v=dx/dt stuff.
