    Now that's more easy to integrate, just write = -Cos(2tau)/(2*2) ..:)

    Yep,I agree. What you said is correct in modern Greek. Not sure if that was the pronunciation in ancient Greek though, there is a belief that you would pronounce a (α) and u (υ) separately.
    It's really annoying hearing it as "tao".

  • @FrenzyLi
    @FrenzyLi 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The integral simplification step is a bit complicated. A simpler approach is applying this:
    Sin[A] Cos[B] = 1/2 ((Sin[A - B] + Sin[A + B]))
    So you get: Sin[t - τ] Cos[τ] = 1/2 (Sin[t] + Sin[t - 2τ])
    Now the INT is made easier for Sin[t] can be lifted out of the integration and the Sin[t - 2τ] is easy. The whole integration leaves:
    1/2 t Sin[t]
    I guess this introduction to convolution is a introduction to the calculation of the convolution! The characteristics of convolution is not shown though.

  • @bla7091

  • @Arminpars2
    @Arminpars2 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    the "whole hairy problem" that lasts 19 minutes would be done in 3 minutes if you were to rewrite the integral "sin(t-tau).cos(tau)" as integral:
    "1/2*[sin(t) + sin(t-2*tau)]"
    and integrate them separately i.e. :
    "1/2 int(sint * dtau)" + "1/2 int(sin(t-2*tau)*dtau)"
    where "int" stands for integral.

  • @TerresEndormies
    @TerresEndormies 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @sadiqtronics: Careful. Your notation is confusing. The integral of cos(at) dt is (1/a)sin(at). I think that is what you mean, and you are correct. However, that is exactly the integral Sal uses in the video. Here, a = 2. Anyway, hope you got it worked out!

  • @DanieleSegato
    @DanieleSegato 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    All your videos are great. Let me say that first. But I've a big critic to give you that hopefully will help make your videos even better.
    You share this issue with the vast majority of math teachers.
    You focus a lot on the mechanical procedures and algebra, you stress even too much all the little steps. But you completely fail to give the big picture of what you are actually doing and why.
    Convolution here: one can learn to compute the convolution and you gave the definition. But you did not explain at all what it is, what it does.
    It's a moving average between 2 functions. The resulting function is a new function of course.
    Some of the most easy to grasp applications of this is in computer graphics for blurring an image you take a convolution of the image with itself on 2 dimensions.
    It's like teaching a derivative without explaining what it means. Sure you can mechanically follow the procedure but it's kind of important to give an intuition of what math operation is doing.

One of the first (and most difficult) things is to establish a general order in which to learn the topics, now I have no idea why you would want to know about convolution (trig integrals should certainly be learned first), but criticizing the makers of free videos is fairly ungrateful act.

    so L ( t sin at ) = - d / ds [ a / ( s^2 + a^2 ) ]
