You are cool. My dad was a math and science teacher for over 40 years (a great benefit for me). He instilled in me a love of math. I'm glad I found your channel. It's time to reclaim my lost working years now that I'm retired.
First semester of Mech Engineering, a professor gave us a task to solve an equation to find the ideal chord length for an airplane wing. He didn't tell us the equation was unsolvable via elementary functions, essentially the point was having students crack heads at it until figuring out they couldn't solve it analytically and needed to use some numerical method, a valuable lesson going into engineering. Instead I did some research online and found the Lambert W function and managed to solve the equation with it. I'm not sure if he was impressed or mad that I avoided the main point of the exercise, but I did get a 10.
@@raghavkumarsingh4222 Oh, this was like 10 years ago. I've since graduated, got a Master's, etc. I did my Bachelor's at a federal university in Brazil. Good luck on your studies, I've had quite a few colleagues and friends from India when doing my Master's, great people.
@rutamupadhye1828 this doesn't work. I first tried it on desmos and quickly realized that there are no solutions just differentiating both sides. A quick search on math stack exchange tells me that this is because to be able to differentiate both sides, both sides have to be functions, and not just this equivalence that we have here. If we do so we can clearly see that for f(x)=2^x+x and g(x)=5, f(x) is not equal to g(x) for all x. We can still use differentiation to solve this problem though, as we can find an approximation as accurate as we're willing to calculate with Newton's method (heh, that's the name of the channel). To apply it, we can define a function, f(x)=2^x+x-5 (its roots are the solutions to the problem), and find its derivative f'(x)=ln(2)2^x+1. Newton's method is iterative, and the next step in the approximation (c_n) is written in terms of the previous approximation (c_[n-1]) as c_n=c_[n-1]-(f(c_[n-1]))/(f'(c_[n-1])) (admittedly this looks overly complex in plaintext but look it but to get a better idea). It starts with an initial guess, and each successive iteration approximately doubles the precision. This gives us a value of about 1.71562073328.
It is giving the wrong answer. And in India we have learnt to never differentiate an equation. Although, we can differentiate identities. But, I am not sure of this.@@rutamupadhye1828
I am 31. I have no business watching these videos but I find these videos so peaceful plus I get to learn such cool things! I have always been in love with Maths (but unfortunately never had a teacher who could make it learning this fun!). Love from India. God bless you.
Tellement apaisant, et souriant ! Merci pour cette démonstration et pour vos explications que je comprends (l'anglais n'est pas ma langue naturelle). Vous prenez la peine de parler lentement pour que nous puissions intégrer vos propos. Vous êtes vraiment une très bon professeur capable d'enseigner à quelqu'un qui n'a jamais fait de mathématiques de ce niveau depuis plus de 50 ans. Le prix Nobel de pédagogie s'impose !
Thank you. For me, Lambert was a VERY brief aside in a larger lecture, so I quickly forgot all about it, and probably could have used it on multiple occasions. The same thing happened with the Convolution theorem. A professor said "Oh, by the way, this is the convolution theorem," wrote it in a corner of the chalkboard, and went on with the rest of the lecture. Years later, I was doing a proof for a class, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't make it work. So I worked forward from the question, worked backwards from the answer, and found a peculiar equation ay the place where the two met. So I included that equation in my proof without knowing what it was. I went to the appropriate lecture about that homework problem when the professor went over that particular proof. When he got to the mysterious equation needed to make the proof work, he said "convolution theorem" and suddenly I was able to remember that very brief aside in that calculus lecture and got mad that its mention was so brief.
Sir, you are really an amazing and exciting teacher. You also speak very clear making it understandable for those who are not native in English like me. All I want to say is that I hope I had only one teacher like you during my 30 years of education. Keep going and good luck.
I have to say that I have tried to watch several videos on this topic from prominent TH-camrs. You are the only one that actually managed to explain it to me. Thanks for a great video.
I have never subscribed faster to a TH-cam channel. Was already familiar with the Lambert function, but this was the most engaging math video I can think of to watch. Massively looking forward to checking out the rest of the channel. Thank you!
You've re-kindled my love of Math. I got sidetracked several decades ago but your calm teaching manner and clear solutions has given me new inspiration and a better way to spend some of my time in mental workouts :) There are many "smart' people, like some of my old Physics/Maths Profs...but few who could teach. Thanks very much.
Finally a clear explanation of how a mixed linear and exponential equation is solved algebraically in exact form with a special function I had not heard of before.
Your enunciation and pace of delivery is just right for my brain to clearly process the information (comfortably) before embracing the next step in the problem process.

Great job for an introduction to the Lambert W function. It is important to point out though, that unlike logs, the Lambert W function is multi-valued between [-1/e, 0). Therefore, you have to be careful when using it.
Prime Newtons, your tutorials are excellent and i enjoy watching them. This specific Lambert W Function is new to me and i am learning it from you. Excellent video , professional details explanation. Thanks.
Congratulations, a very clear explanation of the Lambert function. Just one small criticism: in my opinion it needs to be emphasised that we are in general here dealing with irrational numbers which cannot be written exactly as decimals. So for example ln2 is only approximately 0.693. It is for this reason that in pure mathematics it is preferable to leave the answer as ln2.
Your videos are wonderful! I appreciate your enthusiasm and the clarity with which you explain things. And, as I am sure you know, the symbol you like to call "flower" is really the stylized Greek letter phi.
I'm a french mathematical teacher, but i didn't know this function. Thanks for your very pedagogical explanation of this equation's technics of resolution !

Yeah! After studying another similar equation, I just ground this out successfully after a few false starts along the way. Two years of college math through calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations and I never was taught the Lambert W function. Nice to expand my horizons.

Very nice! I knew about the Lambert W function but I don’t think I would have been able to express the equation in a form where it could be applied. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍

You are really cool! Only in you i made myself to understand “W function”. With your cool presentation and nice instructions, makes me understand it. Keep it up Nice Guy!
Really interesting how, when I saw your video, I solved it myself first, and we rearranged it in different ways! I exponentiated both sides with base 2 and then multiplied both sides by ln2, getting the required form, and so 2^x ln2 = W(32 ln2). I had no idea there were different ways to solve these equations using Lambert W.
I did a different shortcut, multiplying both sides by e^-ln2 in order to remove it from the left hand side rather than adding it to the "input" of the productlog haha
I came here for the maths, but to my great delight I discovered there was more enjoyment to be had; the way you speak is mesmerizing, and I really wish there was a Windows font with your beautiful handwriting.

The problem ends like an engineering exercise - look it up in a table. I get the same feeling when I kiss my sister on the cheek. He is a very good teacher but starting with a lambert function of a variable and ending with a lambert function of a constant doesn't quench my curiosity.
I dont remember it but there is a straight forward power seriea for the Lambert W function just as there is one for lnx and e^x so I wouldn't really call that an engineering problem that requires a lookup table

Thank you. That was a good one. I stumbled on your video after watching another video on the Lambert W function.

One note. The function W() can have multiple values. On the complex plane there is an infinite amount of them (because exp() is periodic). For a real variable it is simplier (perhaps) W(-1/e) = -1 (one solution) W(-1/e < x < 0) has two solution : the first is inside (-1;0) and the second is inside (-inf;-1) W(x >= 0) has only one solution [0;+inf) and to be precise: W(x < -1/e) has no real solution at all.
Mon anglais est très approximatif, mais j'ai bien compris votre exposé et vous en remercie. Je suis un vieil ingénieur à la retraite et de mon temps on ne connaissait pas la fonction W() , qui d'après ce que j'ai pu voir, a vraiment pris son essor après les années 90, donc bien après la fin de mes études. De mon temps on résolvait ce type d'équation numériquement via un petit programme de calcul.
Jesus.. Your class is awesome! I'm Korean student and not good at English but your video can help me. Furthermore, I have interesting at tetration that you uploaded in other video. I don't know that i text properly lol. Have a good day.

Mon anglais est très approximatif, mais j'ai bien compris votre exposé et vous en remercie.
Je suis un vieil ingénieur à la retraite et de mon temps on ne connaissait pas la fonction W() , qui d'après ce que j'ai pu voir, a vraiment pris son essor après les années 90, donc bien après la fin de mes études.
De mon temps on résolvait ce type d'équation numériquement via un petit programme de calcul.
Jesus.. Your class is awesome! I'm Korean student and not good at English but your video can help me. Furthermore, I have interesting at tetration that you uploaded in other video. I don't know that i text properly lol. Have a good day.
This is my first time on this channel. To be honest, this is really awesome!
This Video has really showed my interest more towards the Higher Mathematics. I am going to take Maths. It is really interesting.
