This very nice Romanian lady that taught me complex plane calculus made sure to emphasize that e^j*theta was just a notation.
Then proceeded to just use it as if it was actually eulers number to the j arg. And I still don’t understand why and under what cases I can’t just assume it’s the actual thing.
What is Phil Swift going to do with that chicken?
Mathematicians will in one breath tell you in one breath they aren’t fractions, then in the next tell you dz/dx = dz/dy * dy/dx
Have you seen a mathematician claim that? Because there’s entire algebra they created just so it becomes a fraction.
Chicken thinking: “Someone please explain this guy how we solve the Schroëdinger equation”
I found math in physics to have this really fun duality of “these are rigorous rules that must be followed” and “if we make a set of edge case assumptions, we can fit the square peg in the round hole”
Also I will always treat the derivative operator as a fraction
Look it is so simple, it just acts on an uncountably infinite dimensional vector space of differentiable functions.
When a mathematician want to scare an physicist he only need to speak about ∞
When a physicist want to impress a mathematician he explains how he tames infinities with renormalization.
Is that Phill Swift from flex tape ?
Little dicky? Dick Feynman?
