Did you do laplace transformations, fourier series etc?
>>
>>321316540
not really

Calculus is defined as the study of change and a differential equation is literally the rate of change of a variable.

>>321316601
I really can't stand when they put poetry in my math.

>>321316508
This is some numberphile thing where they claim that this divergent series is -1/12 through a series of manipulations that gives you Zeta(-1)
>>
>all those people who don't know Pluto become a planet again
>>
>>321316720
Yeah but differential equations as a topic is much more detailed. It's like asking why calculus isn't thought as a part of grade 5 maths.
>>
>>321316685
We do those in an applied maths course

Our calculus course is multi variable calculus right now with things like divergence theorem.
>>
>>321314285
wasnt that whole proof just a myth or something?
>>
>>321316587
we covered a bit of differential equations in calc, as well, but there's no way that you can cover most of ODEs in a typical calculus sequence. did you go to a top 10, or something
>>
>>321316601
What are we solving here
>>
>>321316720
The study is differential equations is massive.
You'd have trouble publishing a paper about calculus, but it's not hard to shit out research about differential equations.
>>
>>321316508
Check the wikipedia page on divergent series. If you are a mathfag you will run into this again, if only as a fun side topic.
>>
>>321314285
without math games will not exist you retarded kek
>>
>>321317008
The proof they used is shit because it's a divergent series, but there is a sensible way to 'associate' such a series with -1/12. Look up the Riemann Zeta function.
>>
>>321317054
I don't study in the US

UK here - we did basic differential equations and integrations in our penultimate year of high school before moving into more advanced stuff in our final year - inductive proofs on differentiation, differentiation of products and quotients, integration of products etc.

Its the limit of a riemann sum. Essentially the amount of partitions used to approximate a region of a curve approach infinity, so the widths if them are approaching zero. And then you just really solve the sum.
