    • @calyodelphi124
      @calyodelphi124 7 років тому +52

      It could (with an asterisk), but not as concisely and as accurately as you can do with complex numbers.
      When dealing with any electronics that uses an AC signal (mains power, audio electronics, RF electronics, etc.) you're no longer dealing with simple real quantities like resistance, capacitance, and inductance. You're now also dealing with complex quantities like capacitive reactance and inductive reactance, which are the imaginary parts that combine with the real part resistance to form the complex value of inductance. In the face of an AC signal, capacitors and inductors exhibit a form of resistance to the time-variant signal. But it's not real resistance. It's imaginary resistance--i.e. reactance. They also induce phase shifts to the AC signal as well.
      Electrical engineering very, very quickly dives deeep down the calculus rabbit hole when you venture into the AC world. In the DC world, 90% of the math you do boils down to basic arithmetic. And there's still plenty of that in the AC world, too! But there's also calculus in the AC world. Lots of it.
      And it's all math that is presently above my head, but I'm still doing what I can to suss it out in my own free time in lieu of being able to afford to go to university. :) (Heck, I'll probably have a better, more intuitive understanding of it all than what any university course could probably teach me. Leg up for when I go back to school!)

    • @calyodelphi124
      @calyodelphi124 7 років тому +12

      How would you describe the vectors purely numerically? You could probably use the linear algebra approach of 2x1 matrices, but then you have to remember all the additional mathematics that comes with linear algebra as well. The alternative approach is to describe those vectors numerically using complex numbers. Or if you need a notation that describes the vector's length and angle, you'll need z e^(i theta), and you'll need to know how to convert between the two. Remembering that z e^(i theta) = z(cos(theta) + i sin(theta)) is a lot easier than having to remember a whole bunch of extra stuff regarding linear algebra and matrix algebra. :P

    @mike4ty4 6 років тому +83

    One last thing though - technically, you would need to prove the power rule in fact is valid for complex numbers to make this airtight, though I suppose you're going on that that's already been done: nonetheless, it wouldn't necessarily be justifiable at, say, the usual Calc II-like level where this seems to target, to do that.
    But that is easily remedied: you can first assume _as a heuristic or hypothesis_ that the power rule will work for n = i (seems reasonable, no?) and then after carrying through with it, go back and _differentiate your final answer_ to see that you do indeed get cos(ln(x)) + i sin(ln(x)), thereby proving that not only does the rule apply for that imaginary power but also that you have indeed integrated the two integrals that you wanted to "with one stone". This is not circular because you did not reference the conclusion as justification; rather simply only took it as a hypothesis to then later be verified.

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 6 років тому +20

      I think you could prove it using Cauchy's residue theorem, but that's college complex analysis stuff... very beautiful though, because it makes a lot of tough integrals melt away magically.

    • @CatchyCauchy
      @CatchyCauchy 4 роки тому +1

      Just do it with implicit differentiation. Let y=x^n, where n is element of all complex numbers.
      y=x^n |take the ln
      ln(y)=ln(x^n) = n ln(x) |differentiate with respect to x
      (1÷y)×y'= n÷x |multiply both sides by y
      y' = ny÷x | y= x^n
      y'=nx^n÷x =n×x^n-1
      That's how you derive the power rule, for all integers, and if you integrate you just do the reverse

    • @tensor131
      @tensor131 4 роки тому +4

      @@CatchyCauchy I think it's bit heavier than that. Problem is that all the standard calculus results (real) relate to gradients and area .. and that is how the fundamental theorem of calculus (which is where the n+1 rule emerges) comes from. Now as soon as you make the function non-real all those concepts disappear so I guess everything needs to be re-derived? Fortunately most of the standard results still hold in complex analysis ... and you get a whole lot of (beautiful) extra embellishments :)

    Once, I wanted to 'spin' a telescope mirror with epoxy resin.
    But I needed to calculate the focal length of the mirror based upon something I could measure, like the change of 'height' of the edge of the liquid as it rose up the container due to centripital force. I could place a marker on the edge of the circular container and spin the liquid until the edge reached the marker.. But how high above the flat resting level of the liquid to place the marker?
    After an hour or two and a little bit of differentiation by rule, I solve the problem. I think I was even happier than this guy is here :)
    One of the greatest achievements of my mathematical life (I'm an engineer really, not a mathematician).
    Of course subsequently I lost the piece of paper on which I did the work, and have never been able to recreate it :)

    I've come up with something similar in the past (basically the same truck but for different integrals) and I just want to warn that Re(z1)*Re(z2) /= Re(z1*z2) it's pretty easy to see why, but even easier to assume it's true without even realizing it. So this method always works for integrals like this, but doesn't for products unless you get really tricky. If you want to see what I mean, try to use this a trick to solve the two following integrals.
    e^x*sin(x)
    e^x*cos(x)*sin(x)

    This is the solution to the drag equation, chemical reactions, logistic growth and many other limiting equations when constants A and B are both equal to i. ln(f(theta)) is the derivative of tan(theta) which when inverted becomes theta = atan(x) which has (1+ x^2)^-1 as a derivative. All limiting value problems can be factored as [(x-a)(x-b)]^-1 * dx = kt * dt.

    You can become a math expert by watching your videos. I really hate the fact i didnt have this advantage in my middle school. I would surely get better grades. And this is for free. Totally respect your videos.

    So actually, if you don't expand the integrand to its trigonometric form, you get a complex constant term. But if you do, then you get two constants, one for the real and one for the imaginary part, amazing. By the way, how do you feel about the word "imaginary" for describing complex numbers? I personally don't like using it. It leads to confusion and then students feel they don't really exist nor represent something. Complex numbers are as real as real numbers!!! They're just in another axis!!

      Kiritsu well you could call them squarerootofminusone numbers, or complex numbers, i guess it's just a name. Technically complex numbers are ordered pair of reals where the product is defined in a particular way, (a,b)*(c,d) = (ac-bd,ad+bc);
      So it's better to call them imaginary, to have that feel they might be family

      I agree. I do not like calling them imaginary numbers, either. Particularly when you start getting into the higher levels of physics and engineering, complex numbers become a VERY real thing that describes VERY real phenomena shockingly accurately. Numbers exist in more than a one dimensional number line! When you get into field analysis, you have to deal with *three* dimensional numbers! But they're still very real numbers! Just complicated. And way above my head right now. :)
      Take for instance electrical impedance. It has a real part: resistance. And an "imaginary" part: reactance. Reactance is the "resistance" that capacitors and inductors exhibit in the face of an AC signal. In the DC world, all you have is resistance. Or rather, an electrical impedance of R+0j ohms. In the AC world? Pop a capacitor or an inductor in series with that resistor and suddenly that 0j is no longer 0j. It's something else entirely. PLUS you get a phase shift on top of the AC signal that depends upon the angle of the impedance vector, to boot.

      Calyo Delphi We have learned that in psychics about impendance, but still most of students in my class think that imaginary numbers aren't real.

    BPRP - you are not only a great teacher, but you also have a very beautiful heart. From your response to the hate that was spewed in the comments section, I could think of only two other people who would have acted in the same way and they are both very great people; Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. I not only love your channel and the math you teach here, I respect you as a great person too. And that respect has gone up a couple of notches.

      Though I would say not quite to sell short - but again, that's modesty and I commend that. So I am not asking you to arrogate anything but I'd offer my opinion and that's that I'd say how "great" someone is when it comes to morals or ethical virtue shouldn't be measured quite so much by absolute _quantity_ of achievements in how that _SOCIETY_ says so, because we as humans have _differing capacities_ and the ultimate judge - God - and no I'm not asking you to believe in one (and moreover I certainly do not believe in _dogmatic religion_ 's ideas about God), merely sharing my perspective; if you want God can be considered as an imaginary ideal being or ideal point than a real one that stands for perfect moral justice and thus does not have to literally exist to be useful just as the real number line need not literally exist in the physical universe but is useful and is the representation of an ideal geometric/arithmetical continuum, an idea you should surely understand - would only judge us relative to our capacity, especially when Sie has all by Hir decree said that our capacities and allotments in life are not to be equal. With that, it would be grotesquely unfair to judge the way that our SOCIETY does for that would be to consign to condemnation people simply for something that was beyond their ability to control.
      Maybe then the comparison is fundamentally not fair. Not because one can be ranked but because they can't. We cannot and should not be expected of beyond our capacity; and what matters most is what we do with that which we are given. Humankind is like the great army and like any such army it must have those in all roles and neither can be considered to excel the other for were an army to be composed solely of that role considered as the one awarded the status of greatest excellence it would fall into utter depravity and ruin and thus be entirely bereft of the ability to function.
