    Beautiful high level overview of these connections. Simply pointing out the generalisations of the Fundamental theorem of Calculus and what information boundaries of a region have for that region was great. So often, these high level motivations are lost in college classes on these subjects- all how and no why. I honestly don't think I ever heard any lecturer explicitly talk about discreteness/continuity at the heart of maths and what reconciles these. You're left guessing, trying to figure out if e.g. Lie groups and Algebras are the thing that does this. All the while the lecturer is talking about the mechanics of their specific area and not connecting and motivating.

    At around 8:36, you mentioned that 'the boundry of an area(region) contains information about the inside of an area'. This fact can also be demonstrated by the following simple example.
    If we have a circle with circumference c, then its area is c^2/(4*pi). In other words, knowing an atribute of the boundry of a region(here the circle's circumference ) will let us infer about some atribute of the region(here circle's area).

    Complying with the electric circuit presented after time 11:45, the followig corrections are essential:
    Sorry , as the bowser doesn't account for subscripts formatting.
    On the circuit:
    Change V = I. R to Vsubscript R = I.R .
    Change V = - L*dI/dt to Vsubscript L= L*dI/dt . No negative sign.
    Change I=C dV/dt to I=C*d Vsubscript C/dt.
    Such changes are needed as every circuit component has its own different voltage which is not the DC source having value V.
    V is the sum of all such votages since the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are all connected in series as Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) necessitates.
    Apart from that: good effort and looking forward for your exposition of higher mathematics.

    • @AllAnglesMath
      @AllAnglesMath  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exterior algebra uses a new "wedge product" that combines vectors into areas, volumes, etc. Geometric algebra goes even further than that: it introduces the "geometric product" which combines the advantages of the wedge product and the inner product. Stay tuned ;-)

    • @angeldude101
      @angeldude101 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The exterior algebra is effectively geometric algebra with a degenerate metric. Geometric algebras can be classified by Cl(p, q, r) ("Cl" for "Clifford", the guy who first came up with it. Some people use "G" instead.) Where p, q, and r are the number of basis vectors that have a positive, negative, or zero square respectively. An nD exterior algebra can be modeled as Cl(0,0,n).

      What would be your alternative way of defining it?

      @@koenvandamme9409 First, I do applaud this effort. Abstract algebra also does some of this. And that's where there may be 'number" systems where one operator (*) may not be simply be a repeated operation of another operator (+).
      Yes, with integers under addition and multiplication, repeating one operator to get another it works nicely. Like with 5 and 2. You an have five 2s or two 5s. But in say the real numbers multiplying pi and e, how do you have pi number of e's or the reverse. To work out the answer would take infinite time. There are other number systems like hyper complex numbers or matrices. We might have to invent new number systems and operators to understand the Universe. Addition and multiplication get us close, but might not be the TRUE answer. We need to keep our minds open.

    do people really learn Calc in high school ?
    to me it was in college that we got pre-calc and calc 1 & 2

    it never bother mathematicians that the square root of negative one has no solution, no value, and is a logical confabulation......so much of math and physics is based on calculations using a number that doesn't exist, or if it exists it exists in the realm of fairy tales and unicorns and gorgons where it has a totem but no result or value or magnitude.....the square root of negative one exists in the same way infinity exists, as a logical absurdity, and both are at the very center of all our mathematical interpretations of 'reality'

      I mean, it kind of bothered many mathematicians, and physicists definitely didn't like using imaginary numbers at first, but when they used them, the formulas finally worked and explained the reality. Also, if you really think about it, you could argue, that negative numbers don't exist either, because you can't just show me -5, but it is a useful concept, which helps us with understanding the reality. So despise the unfortunate name complex numbers got, they do exist, the nature uses it, just as much as it uses pi or -⅝ (possibly more than it uses -⅝)

      I agree that the "square root of negative one" does not make sense. But I blame that on the instructors.
      Rather, I view complex numbers as vectors in two dimensions. This is also how they are treated in computers.
      In this way, everything consists of the usual real numbers.

      But if it is such a non-existent absurdity, how come physical theories which are extremely empirically successful, make heavy use of it? You might say the same about zero. In fact, you might say the same about a Real number - the ancient Greeks took the same view that you are stating, about irrational numbers, after all. I think you either have to let your standards of what is absurd be set by "what works"; or alternatively, come up with a totally new set of structures for representing mathematical ideas in which things like the "complex numbers" are reinterpreted as something more in line with common sense.

      no logical absurdity here. only a very simple construction to characterize roots of polynomials that turns out to underpin pretty much all of algebra. if they seem so out of touch for you, you have not done any relevant math
