For instance, exactly how much of my Algebra, Trig, and Calc I do I need to remember before taking Calc II for Engineers(MAT266). I already know that I have to know how to do integrals, derivatives, converting square roots to a fraction exponent, use a Trig Unit Circle and so on but I feel like I'm still missing a few more important things in my memory that I still need to know before taking this course.
I'm taking this course with Professor Franklin Yu in the B session of this Summer, by the way. So far I've heard that Yu's obviously not perfect but still an overall good math professor judging by his RateMyProfessor reviews.
Preface: I teach HS English and am a stickler for outlines in an academic context. I often argue that the small amount of "extra" work up front saves mountains of time and headaches in the end, plus you'll end up with a better end product. So of course I brought that mentality to my writing.
The problem, I realized after having published two novels and am finishing up my third, was that I was using the same outline structure I would use for an essay and that TOTALLY doesn't work (at least as well as I thought it would).
So the basic essay structure is split up into different sections. The idea being as concise and specific as possible. A skeleton or framework of the bigger work. I mimicked that for my writing. But what it really boiled down to was a fancy looking plot diagram - which works to a degree.
The problem that I ran into over and over again with the traditional outline was that there were too many blind spots that I had to wing on the spot. I assumed that I would piecemeal the parts together during the drafting process. So I would write, then delete, then write, and delete and so on.
The reason, I finally realized, was that when drafting, I was focused on both style and plot (note that this is why people say first draft worst draft. What they're actually saying is that your first draft should focus entirely on plot elements and subsequent drafts focus on style). I kept spinning my wheels in the mud.
So I dropped back and tried something a bit different. I went old school. Grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a scene by scene detail of what happens in the chapter I was stuck on. It got me out of my hole instantly. I detailed the remainder of the book this way. When everything was said in done, I had about 15 pages front and back hand-written of the entirety of my book (think like you were reading a chapter summary on Sparknotes - that's what it read like).
The reason this works is that when I go to open Google Docs or whatever, I don't have to focus on plot at all. That's already been done for me. Instead I focus on style. So on my paper it might say "Timmy walks to school while daydreaming about his crush and realizes he forgot his lunchbox" on the first line. I'll then start focusing on the stylistic way of delivering that (to me, the fun part of writing). Then I'll highlight it on my paper which I now treat as a checklist.
The end product is so much better. Yes, obviously, I still have to revise, but this, for me, allows me to focus on oth

Seems like Calcumore to me!

I am not sure that I am completely understanding FTC in terms of how the derivative and definite integral are connected. I drew/wrote this depiction of how I currently think they are connected in terms of velocity and position. I was wondering if anyone could point out any potential gaps in my understanding.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, because I do not have a design to share. But rather a graphic design question that I’m hoping will open a discussion.
I am currently a senior designer for a regional publication in California. I love my job, I love what I do, and I love designing for my magazines. It’s no secret that the money and budgets for print publication isn’t what it once used to be. I love what I do but I’m also understanding to the reality of the decline of print. I have been researching different fields within the vast field of design. I have taken a liking to web design. I cannot code or build a website to save my life (even having taken a few semesters of CSS). But I know I could visually design the hell out of an amazing website.
I guess my question being, can you be a graphic designer for web with out being a coder? Can those two jobs exist separately but also side by side in today’s industry? Because from what I have come across, someone who knows how to code most of the time doesn’t know a serif from a san serif.
If you made it this far, thank you for the read! Happy designing!
One of the big complaints about TLJ is that it pretty much disregarded so many of the mysteries from The Force Awakens. Everyone says it's as if Rian Johnson wanted nothing to do with all the stuff JJ Abrams set up and disregarded it all.
That can't be right, can it? When Disney was rebooting the trilogy, even using different directors, shouldn't they have had some idea on what the story would be over these 3 movies? The way Johnson disregarded all the TFA mysteries makes it seem like Disney had no idea what direction they were going with after all those mysteries now, and that makes no sense to me. I just don't understand it at all.
Title says it all.
A lot of controversial questions are answered too. Eg they answer bakit di pa natatanggal si joy belmonte sa pwesto.
