Great video, well funny, now get back to the basement before you get caught.

Your videos used to be funny Then I became a physics major, and now they’re sad

Sir, I want to become a physicist... How can I make my self fall in love with physics... And make mathematics as my soul...

normal is actually orthogonal to that which is perpendicular to the transverse direction change my mind.

Lmao

Wouldn't "normal" just mean ||v||=1?

@@YaamFel that would be "normalised". Just don't question it.

I would go with orthonormal

No, jokes have a meaning

@@macewindu3492 uff...that's was a good roast

Noice! I am ur 1000th like!

Jeez lay off fella.

Sure I'll get a load of this guy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@@AndrewDotsonvideos *jizz

damnit Larry

My God, I can relate to this so much it *hurts.*

still remember partial derivatives was thrown around in my first and second year physics, and we didn't get proper introduction until second half (?) of multivariable calculus

First year physics does use partial differential equations - the wave equation. We don't solve it, but we derive and use it.

wait is that when u integrate by parts to solve it, or is that completely different haha? Just cos im in highschool and we did that a while ago

@@puddleduck1405 nah, partials are for multivariable calculus when you have to explain that x, y and z exist, and that we are comparing the change in x with the change in y

I think he prefers the term "tears of relief"

Since entropy only increases with time, it makes perfect sense that the students would have an easier time sooner rather than later.

If we assume the learning process is asymmetric with time then when the students travel backwards in time to retake the exam their knowledge should be conserved.

@@popkornking and figuring out travelling back in time should be a trivial exercise for a physics student preparing to take a physics exam

I avoided a physics class for _precisely_ this reason. I looked up the professor on RMP and everyone complained that the homework didn't prepare you for the exams at all. I really wanted to take the course though, so I emailed the professor to ask about it, in case it was just a minority of students who thought that, but he confirmed that students always tell him that (and yet, he apparently hasn't found it necessary to modify either the homework or the exams), so I'm not taking that class, at least not with him as the professor. Fortunately, I'm an EE major and while the physics class wouldn't satisfied a general math/physics/chem/cs/engineering elective requirement, there are plenty of other courses I can take instead.

No thats impossible Andrew is stuck in Flammable Maths basement

@@colinfields2036 That is true

Nah, that's not true. This guy truly knows what he's talking about

Long live the Empire

Of course they're four or less. 1 a, b, ... h. 2 a, b, ... f. 3 ...

And that'll somehow still be too many questions to finish on time.

Just thinking of a 4 problems Physics exam raises my heartrate

most likely it was there so that you dont sue them later on for forcing you to memorize stuff lol

I knew a guy in undergrad that printed his formulas in 6 point font on the allowed index card, and read them with a pocket magnifier.

My professor for I don't know the English term for that lesson he give us a littleral textbook as a formula sheet and if you don't know what are you looking for you are doomed. But the formula sheet is pretty good on other modules I am giving him that

@@aviphysics Brilliant

yea they're literally useless

That makes 0 sense

But now you know what’s not on your exam lol

@@itisi2042 It is always like that, and (in some sense), it makes perfect sense... The prof assumes we all studied the basic material. Instead, we need to learn to use what we learned in an indirect and creative way. Just plugging numbers in equations is for engineering, not for real physics students.

Sadly, this is my first native language teacher in High School. We told her that the exam was too hard and she replied with: I was able to finish this 40 minute exam in 30 minutes so you have no reason to complain.

I had a math professor who made his exam three times as long as the homework which he knew took hours to complete and gave us less than 2 hours to complete it. He wouldn't even _tell_ me how long it took him to complete the exam.

@@theamazingone5217 This was my French 3 teacher in high school. Literally DURING the final, she was taking it with us, and went "c'est tres facile"(which means this is very easy in french) and all of us just looked at each other. It was a very hard test.

I'd rather have an easier time performing surgery on a grape than literally memorizing all laplacian derivations of any curviliner coordinates LMAOOOOOOOOOO

And that right there is one of the reasons the educational system keeps producing people that hate math with a passion. I'm sorry you had to experience that.

Stop being stupid

I feel like that’s actually a good thing for me though because you’re basically ahead in your math class

Exactly

Fun fact: His email is mail@andrew.son

and each consecutive partial question is dependent on arriving at the proper solution of the former. Didn't find a solution to part a) ? Hahaha, b) thru m) is fucked.

One day you will never forgive him. I know I will never forgive the professor that encouraged me to stick with it. I should have switched to engineering when I had the chance (though I eventually snuck into the engineering profession anyway.)

@@aviphysics That's funny, Andrew made me realize I didn't love physics enough and I now I'm enrolling in a PhD program in EE.

U reducing a tensor?

I came here instead of doing my phys hw I see you

@@agrajyadav2951 😂

@@agrajyadav2951 lol

Who gets stressed doing physics?

I can already guess how that went... 1. It's 2019. 2. So our course legally needs to declare how evaluation goes beforehand. We use midterms worth 30% of the grade. 3. Damn, a pandemic. We barely taught under good conditions. We can't really do midterms, if failing students sue we'd lose that every day of the week. 4. Wait, we have a legally binding document that sais 30% of the score is earned in advance.. If we don't do that failing students could sue and we'd lose that every day of the week. 5. I have a cunning plan that cannot fail: have "not midterms". Pretend like that's actually doing anything. Don't mention the lawsuits. 6. So... Should we change those legal documents? Nah, too much work. That pandemic won't keep on going anyway!

Yikes, what the heck is that? Physics SAT?

Only the first term😅

nah after lots of e&m and Calc 3 it comes up often enough to be remembered

@Nicholas Parris Who has time to derive the Laplacian in spherical coordinates during an exam or quiz though? That would probably chop off 30-40 min. of your exam time. Just write it down on scratch paper and act like it's apart of the scratch paper you're using for the exam, I used to do that all the time. Yea, sure, technically it may be bending the rules a little but who remembers these equations? And who has time to derive them on an exam? Not me

@Nicholas Parris yeah just derive it and miss squared at some term nice!

@Nicholas Parris Well, if you can remember exactly how to derive the Laplacian then you should be able to memorize it as well.

Hey, vSauce! Michael here.

Holy crap I rewatched the whole video after the intro only to find it where it was. Welp, there's another view for u Andrew.

Where is it?

​@@andreemery4964 u gotta find it yourself

is it the equations written on the graphic tablet behind? idk much, just takng the guess

@@AdityaKumar-ij5ok look at his name in the intro

Tips?

@@deathstroke8639 we should ask how that went... but Im too scared to. Good luck students. Good luck

Thanks!

Yeah it's just hard to communicate in a title/thumbnail if the video is serious or not when I also make videos that actually give advice. Less people will watch if they think it's a serious video.

That is the exam meta for sure
