Hello /sci/

There is a simple rule to remember how to do calculus. What is it?

*Maths test tomorrow, worried.
>>
>>8553075
Don't be a brainlet.
>>
>>8553082
What's that supposed to mean?
>>
>>8553075
low d high minus high d low, square the bottom and you're good to go (home and cry that you couldn't remember the quotient rule without a nursery rhyme)
>>
>>8553075
lim (h->0) [f(x+h) - f(x)] / h will give you any d/dx
Stokes Theorem for integral problems
>>
the simple rule is do the fucking practice problems
>>
>>8553126
huh?
udv - vdu / v^2
>>
>>8553134
equals the derivative of v/u numnuts
>>
>>8553140
what do d high and d low mean?
>>
the rule is take real analysis and stop fucking around with hand waving
>>
>>8553142
d high is the derivative of the numerator.
>>
>>8553145
translating this gay ass rhyme is more complicated than just memorizing (u'v-uv') / v^2
>>
>>8553151
Ok dude, it's a thread about calculus memory aids, but you can go ahead and shit all over everything if you want.
>>
>>8553155
How do you not remember something as simple as the fucking quotient rule? Especially when you have to memorize the quadratic formula, double and half angle formulas, law of cosines, etc to even get to this class?
>>
>>8553165
I teach calculus, I don't study it. This is a dumb thread though. It's not clear what OP is even asking for. I think we should all sage it now.
>>
>>8553169
If you teach calculus and you don't know how to quickly derive those formulas, you need to stop doing it.
>>
>>8553155
just remember the chain rule and how to take derivatives of powers-->you don't have to sing shit

[math]
d\left(\frac{f}{g}\right) =d\left( f g^{-1}\right)
=
g^{-1} df -f g^{-2} dg
=
\frac{gdf - f dg}{g^2}
[/math]
>>
>>8553178
Why would you assume I don't derive the formula for my students, or that I do so slowly?

Once again, this is ostensibly a thread about how to remember how to do calculus. Therefore I posted a memory aid. You have repeatedly failed to understand this, therefore you are a retard.
>>
>>8553169
Breaking story: cocky TA insists he wears the big boy pants despite being a /sci/ poster. Further bulletins as events warrant.
>>
>>8553169
OP here, I'm doing Computer Science and we have a maths module, didn't take A level maths so it's all new to me.

I only have to do basic Calculus but my friend said you just have to do something and something and you'll be fine.
It was a catchphrase- take the square and multiply by something?
That's what I want.

(I don't understand all the things)
>>
>>8553183
Some people like seeing that, some people like the rhyme, and some autistic retards like the other guy just memorize the formula. In any classroom there will be several of each type, so it's important to have things like the rhyme on hand for those who are helped by it.
>>
>>8553140
if youre gonna teach him calculus do it correctly, its not v/u its u/v
>>
>>8553200
He is the one who fucked it up by writing it in the wrong order, I just wrote v/u to match his expression.
>>
>>8553193
i am not sure how you got into a computer science program without A level math? were there no math requirements??? thas impossible no?
>>
>>8553193
It's the rhyme I posted god damnit, I knew it!
>>
>>8553075
Autismo here

Whenever I get stuck on calculus, I just remember the following mnemonic:

Multiplication Is Triangles And Three Is Yellow.

Doesn't stand for anything though.
>>
>>8553203
The divisor goes on the bottom.
If f'(u/v) = u'v-uv' / v^2
udv - vdu / v^2
>>
>>8553210
mitatiy great
>>
>>8553207
This one didn't pal, I did A level physics so I guess they assumed I had some skill with maths- ended up not getting a good grade though.

Some of it I could derive from Physics calculations.

>>8553209
Okay thank you.
>>
>>8553215
You're right, I did mess that up. Whatever, this thread is cancer anyways.
>>
>>8553215
i think he meant the top was butchered already. the denominator never stood a chance
>>
>>8553127
deriving the whole of differentiation during a test is a very inefficient albeit autistic way to do stuff man...
>>
If u dv, I'll v du
Lick daddy's balls. Ooo Ooo Ooo
>>
>>8553226
OP wanted something that was one thing that would work for anything. For differentiation that would be it.
>>
>>8553230
Brilliant!
>>
OP here, so I'm given a formula sheet so if I follow those, I should be okay?

What if I don't know how to follow them?

...
man, you're given the sheet... learn how to use them. we can't help you further than this.
you're on your own - learn calculus! do practice problems!
>>
Quotient rule:

Down To Fuck
Derivative Top First
