Can anyone explain what pythagorean harmonies are? Surely they can't just be the lengths of the strings. I feel like there has to be more to it, especially since it took so long to rediscover
I'm sure it means strings of the same mass per unit length, and under the same tension. Pythagoras thought the ratios formed by the integers 1 through 4 were "perfect intervals."

This is quite simple. Finite difference and the famous limit gives all what is needed. The rest are theorems, proofs and applications. In short, real analysis.
Se y = mx + b então dy / dx = m , se y = sen x então dy / dx = cos x , se y = cos x então dy / dx = - sen x , d( y + z ) / dx = dy / dx + dz / dx , d(yz) / dx = y dz / dx + z dy / dx , dx^n / dx = nx^n - 1 , dy / dt = dy / dx . dx / dt . Pelo que entendi é só usar essas regras ? ou tem algo mais ?
Technically you are correct. But the expression you wrote at the end is negligible. When the change is very small, CB*CL is much much smaller than the other two terms. This is why it gets omitted.
mathematician is the guardian of precision and clarity of thought.... this is why math is so hard to understabnd, it is so abstarct in their definition, theorem and all writings. why so many weird symbols and no words. can someone explain this to me, why faraday's magnetic induction's total derivative becomes a partial derivative in the maxwell's eq? faraday's total derivative even considers the possibility of changing the area by moving the loop, while maxwell's partial derivative ignores it.
Multivariable systems are more complex than systems involving one variable. Partial differential equations are needed to describe multivariable systems. Math symbols are just abbreviations of real words that could be spelled out, but lazy humans used symbols to shorten the drudgery of math. Math is the language of understanding the universe around us. It is a language not stagnant, but alive and changing as we gain knowledge. Take one math topic at a time and it will be less overwhelming. I am studying tensors and abstract vector space as I follow the topics of General Relativity. Check out different TH-cam teachers until you find the one that explains math topics in a way you comprehend. As Feynmann said, "If you can't explain a topic in simple terms that most could understand, then you really don't have a grasp on the subject."

I used to wake up early on weekends to watch this series; it just grabbed me and held on to me until the end.
Nice. Miss old days.
Did it inspire you in your college years? :)
@@ariellubonja7856 Well after college.
I love hearing that, because I`m waking up early on Saturdays to watch this on youtube, so thanks for the indirect encouragement!
This is a better intro to calculus and physics than any of my professors could do
This is by far the best explanation of a derivative I’ve had
After spending days and days, 100s of videos on slopes and derivatives, Here lies the simple, elegant & perfect explanation. Thanks 🙏
We are using this in my Physics class this Summer and we have to write a half page paragraph on at least 10 of these things. I am very much excited!
Caltech is one of the best in teaching physics......in ..the world is relaxing... watching....l love it....❤️ .... better than politicians drama....😀.
Thank you, Caltech!
I love math, especially when they seduce you with calming background music
an a beautiful woman´s voice saying the laws
3blue1brown ftw
Math does no seduce you creep
Great video. Thanks Dr. Goodstein and Cal Tech for creating it.

@@philipsankot8003wtf
Absolutely stunning ever and forever
O.M.G. I finally found it. My physics teacher in high school made us watch these all through physics and AP physics, and that was in 2014!!
I'm going through that rn
Mr.Rod
We watched it in 1990! I still love this series.
same. Shoutout Mr. P

I am enjoying watching these one at a time from the beginning. Great series!
Great video series! :-)
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

My mind just exploded from the many realizations, really helpful.
Wachted this in the eighties, loved it then and still love it now. Makes me wanna study math again
Study again. No age of learning.

amazing movies, thank you very much! Unfortunately I can't see them during my physics lectures. But at least I can now heh
Hey! i like the music, makes me feel like a captain lol !
I remember watching this on the original Learning Channel when I first got cable in the early 80’s
Does anyone know the prerequisite math level needed to understand this "Mechanical Universe" series? Thanks, Michael Spurlock
Check out the book Calculus for dummies.
@@indianpride8545 Thanks for the tip.
@@indianpride8545 drunken pride, lol 😆
Someone with a good foundation in algebra and trigonometry should be ready to study calculus.
@@GH-oi2jf Thanks
Great lecture
In fact, I think Archimedes also made important progress in connecting math with physics.
Reminds me of my childhood

Amazing...
And thiS is how math is taught AND TRULLY LEARNED
Can you upload all 26 episodes of Personal Finance and Money Management with Bob Rosefsky from 1982?👍
could any one tell me what is the word the man said at 11:10 ...> connet the two points with a straigt line. that line is called what??
it's formally called a 'secant line'
“As used in mathematics, the word chord refers to a straight line drawn between two points on a circle (or more generally, on any curve)”.
www2.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/chords.html
It's a chord
He says chord but the correct word should be secant!

At 18:47 CHANGE IN AREA EXPRESSED WRONGLY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS CA=CL*B+CB*L-CB*CL
U CAN CHECK IT BY YOUR SELF
Yeah that's what I've been thinking the whole time. I thought I might be wrong. 😅
Technically you are correct. But the expression you wrote at the end is negligible. When the change is very small, CB*CL is much much smaller than the other two terms. This is why it gets omitted.
Also it's +CB*CL not -CB*CL to correct your expression.

Where the hell is episode 2?
you can research it the TH-cam channel is a playlist
I will never see derivatives the same way again.
Well, at least I found an answer to my question: why do the equation for derivatives and antiderivatives exist
since 1985?!!
Did a mathematician just call physicists arrogant, or is a modest physicist trying to act like a lowly mathematician? (Save u time, 25:43)
It’s amusing to me that the crank on the machine is shaped like a cross
Didn’t understand anything. Thanks caltech.
