Q&A Stream Today! + Spotlight Reminder
Added 2021-03-31 14:55:52 +0000 UTCTwo quick updates for you! (And a screenshot from today's music video... I can't wait to elbow my way into the library of "confusing math" gifs)
Q&A stream today
There are SO many new people here (almost 300?!) so it seems like a great time to do a Q&A livestream so we can get to know each other! I'll be streaming to $5+ Patrons today at 2pm MT. I'll post the link about 15 minutes beforehand here on Patreon; I do these streams through YouTube, so you'll need a YouTube account to participate in chat.
If you can't make it, feel free to toss some questions into the comments here and I'll try and get to them during the stream! You can watch it back later as a VOD.
Last day to submit for the March spotlight!
Today is the last day to throw your hat in the ring for the March Patron spotlight! For those of you who are new, I post a monthly gallery of the creative works, personal successes, and cute pet photos of you, my Patrons! You can check out previous spotlights here.

I should specify that I'm only talking about the definite integral, not all the expressions on the whole screen taken as one item. The screen is full of many unrelated expressions. The particular expression I'm referring to is the definite integral, which is the expression that begins with "S 2 -2" and ends with "dx".
2021-09-02 06:39:09 +0000 UTCIt definitely exists; the answer is exactly pi. I did lots of problems just like this one in college, with similar terms, factors, and functions. The obstacle is that, even if you can tell by looking at it that a solution exists, it still takes a page of writing and about 10 steps to get to the final answer, assuming you don't commit any errors.
2021-09-02 06:36:02 +0000 UTCIf a solution to this exists, I will be amazed! 😅 I literally just googled “complicated math” and copied bits and pieces from different images!

2021-09-02 06:32:16 +0000 UTCUgh. I saw the definite integral in this picture and then I had to solve it. It yanked me back through Calculus 1, Calculus 2, and Calculus 3. I had completely forgotten the term "antiderivative" and still need to look it up. I still can't remember how to use whichever distributive methods in calculus are needed to do this integral, even though I have done it years ago. I finally broke down and plugged it into WolframAlpha. The answer is pi. But I'm very unsatisfied that I haven't solved it myself yet. :( I suppose I'll have to go on YouTube tomorrow and find a refresher video or three. Time for me to go into my backyard tent, write out a new character and inventory on paper, then sleep in the tent.
2021-09-02 02:56:05 +0000 UTCI may not be able to make it, but I do have a question! What are some things you do to try to keep a positive attitude and keep going when *life on the internet* gets ya down?
