Indifference to Differentials

So, my boss had suggested, since I have a math degree, why not write an article about differential equations. Well let’s be honest now, it was a MINOR in math, so that doesn’t really count does it? Anyone who has read one of my articles would wonder, what’s funny about differential equations? Exactly!  In fact, when I think about this subject my stomach gets tied up in knots.  And I don’t care if their ordinary, partial, and linear to the harrumph degree, I prefer not to go back there. Not without a tutor, that’s for sure!

Now the first and more or less most famous discussion of differential equations is Newton’s Second Law of Motion. You know, Force equals Mass times Acceleration.

I learned that one the first time I plowed my car into a wall late one weekend night. Now I totally understand that the faster I’m going the more it will hurt. But, let’s get back to the equation. So we understand that acceleration is variable motion that is likely to change constantly. Well that sounds more like a teenager than a scientific statement. We know that acceleration is a derivative of the velocity and the unknown position of the body, both of which are a function of time. So remember, where ever you go, there you are!

The study of differential equations crosses many fields which include applied mathematics, engineering, meteorology, and of course physics among others. I should mention one rather famous partial differential equation, Laplace’s equation. Laplace’s equation is known as one of the simplest examples of elliptic partial differential equations

A solution of Laplace’s equation is known as harmonic functions. You will find this used in many areas including fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, astronomy, and even optical physics. But you won’t see it in a comedy club.

OK.OK. Just one physics joke; so…….. , a photon walks into a hotel and says “I need a room”. The clerk asks “Do you have any luggage?” and the photon says “No, I’m travelling light!” Alright I didn’t say it was a funny joke. The point to all of this is you can pass the most difficult courses at any level with help from the right people. I did. But it’s a good thing I’m not a physicist. That is why TutorZ is so amazing. I could get help in everything from telling a joke (I know I need help there), to solving a differential equation . Whether you’re working on the inverse of an integral or saying “A guy walks into a bar and…” Tutorz.com can help you accomplish your goals.
