It is my belief that math and video game speed running have a lot in common. Both are studied by people who have a strange absurd level of dedication, and both have experts who manage to discover incredibly complex tricks, which are then relayed to the community, refined by others, and then used to pull off even more complex tricks. In this way, doing integrals reminds me a lot of doing glitches in video game speed runs.
Does this integral have an actual solution? I couldn't find anything online so I was starting to suspect that it's nonelementary but I'm not sure, also amazing video
4:36 This would have been the PERFECT place to have said "and this was, of course, discovered by Ramanujan." It feels like he's always popping up in the most random places.
as an integral connoisseur, I learned some new techniques in this video which I will be adding to my toolbox for when I engage in my hobby of creating horrific integrals for math stackexchange people to solve
I knew about the squaring of the Gaussian, and it made sense that you started with something that was real. You really got me with the next few steps; I was a bit confused about how the Desmarnes or whatever theorem could possibly work, especially with the list of the adjoints, but I somewhat accepted that it was real along with the next step or two, because I thought you were intentionally using real, obscure, but ultimately unhelpful things to continually transform the integral into something more complex before going "I'll cover the rest in the next video". I was not expecting the turn that you went down. I also follow speedrunning a little bit, and I agree that there are many aspects of it that are very similar to advanced math and physics. I particularly like when people do deep dives into the video game physics in a way that treats it just like a math and physics problem in an alternate universe with different rules. Bismuth even gave a talk somewhere about how the problems solved in speedrunning were in some ways similar to problems in real physics, and they provided useful toy models for people to practice their analytical skills. I'm guessing you saw it, though that was after this video was published.
Yeah, that squaring-gaussian bit is basically the only non-lie in this video. I don't actually follow speed-running that closely, or know who Bismuth is, but I've watch a couple breakdowns of how certain glitches work, and many of them seem like things you'd need a PhD to come up with.
Even though it's writen joke video in the title, had me in the first half not gonna lie. Great video love all the Easter eggs (I could find), my favourite is the amount of equal signs in the code.
I'm working on a particularly difficult math problem which has to be solved to get at an even more hard to acquire solution for a project I'm working on. This video pretty much sums up how I feel right about now.
I'm sorry if I'm missing something but why don't we just do a wrongwarp to page 251 and then load the corrupted save to put the solution into our inventory? Is the setup TAS only?
That's a better approach in theory, but it's pretty precise. Only 4 people have managed to execute it without a TAS, and they each have at least 1000 hours of integration under their belts.
@@nicholasleclerc1583 Yeah, that was a big shame. I'd like to state that the eigenchris channel stands against cheating in all its forms. I hope Two learns from this and grows as a person.
I used Feynman's Leibniz rule to differentiate under the integral sign, and strangely enough the answer was one over the fine structure constant to first order.
Well, that was cruel. You made me wish that Desmarais's theorem, adjoint functions and Baker-Nachbaur type are a thing. I guess even in mathematics, if things seem too good to be true, they probably are. I appreciate your creativity, though. You might need a few more = signs at 4:01, though. Six signs only check for equality, identity, memory address, system time and RNG seed, so someone with a different IP address might encounter a bug which you didn't catch.
Decided to try out the game, only problem is I don't have a computer, only a deck of Magic: the Gathering cards. Which we all know is identical to a Ryzen 3990X in computational abilities, but I forgot how to do it. So I just set up my deck to evaluate lambda calculus expressions, then made a lambda calculus expression to simulate a Turing machine. Though I'm not very good at Turing machines either so I then set up the Turing machine to simulate the game of life. From there I was able to make a redstone engine in life, which I am much more familiar with, so I was able to finally create a quad core CPU and an RTX graphics card, and the game's running very smoothly! I Was especially surprised at how much content there is, I'm hundreds of hours in and I just got to the "o" level on the loading screen!
Wow. When I was a university student. I had a PC-88MA2. The memory map is a bit different from PC-88MA2, but I see one of the PC-88 machines. I still recall when I wanted to access the VRAM I use out c. First I need to change the stack pointer since when you change the memory bank you lose the stack pointer after xc000. (Probably no one knows what I am talking about.)
This reminds me of how I helped a friend with her Analysis homework and I did a whole 2h detour with her to Pascal's triangle to find the 8th roots of unity before I found an easier 5min solution where you just had to calculate the absolute value.. xD
@@Batwam0 Well she thought she understood it and took some notes, but when she was home again to write down her homework she didn't understand her notes anymore.. xD
You are not stupid. You have just been used to some of the most use less theorems and identities that is there in existence, that you don't even question it anymore. Which means you are a battlehardened mathematician. And thus very smart.
Solving an equation to gain access to a dungeon is giving me flashbacks to a dream I had the night before a Linear Algebra exam. In my dream, the only way I could go anywhere was to find the correct linear transformation of my personal position vector. I woke up exhausted but I did do well in the exam....
Incredible applicatoon of Desmarais Theorem, but you forgot the +c in the integral to enter the temple. Eveyone shall pay for their sins in the afterlife...
I think there is a theorem stating an integral has an analytic solution if and only if it is wolfram integrable. But the free version is in permanent alpha, and paying for your integrals is poor sportsmanship.
I did see the text "(joke video)" but even so you had me going for a while. I thought you were serious about solving the integral. It all seemed serious until 1:39 where the Desmarais's theorem is introduced. I have no doubt that it is a real thereom. I was taken aback by the statement that the theorem was part of a Calculus 2 class if you just go back a couple of decades. Since I've been familar with Calc 2 for more than 50 years and have never run into to, I'm wondering if that is just part of the joke or I just somehow missed it.
Everything in this video is made up, except the Gaussian integral at the start. I guess my monotone delivery lends credibility to what I'm saying even though it's all fake.
ROTFL, eigenDude. I would not have known about the G-skip, since (as memory serves,) my engineering-oriented curriculum went from Calc III to Differential Equations, and thence into Advanced Calc. I expect that R-ballery can accomplish the same topological shunt, as long as we can identify the necessary n-space to transform. This would more reliable, as your solution is dependent on game version. Stories of integrators finding themselves in various places _other than_ the textbook room are amply documented in Usenet. (Although the bidet incident remains controversial.)
this video is amazing but what i like most about it is looking up "desmarais theorem" gives you suggestions like "desmarais theorem integral monotonic function" and in duckduckgo leads to the wiki article of monotonic functions. am i missing a bigger joke or did this video solely trick so many people that search engines are now fucked too?

That is a fair comparison, and I really liked your video.

I didn't see a solution after a quick google, so if the solution is elementary it's probably pretty hard. I'm not sure if it is or not though.
@@jefferybenzos5879 so I typed this integral in wolfram alpha and it shows solution in form.of series
Is there a rigorous proof of this specific integral?
With one video you managed to recreate exactly how it feels to study math, congratulations.
I honestly feel like only he has the sheer prowess to focus on this exactly like a radom bro gamer looking at 20-year old Futurama jokes.
All the Calculus fundamentals in 5 minutes or less. Amazing work.
Alas, that's too optimistic. Matrix glitches for some integral forms have not been discovered yet...

It's good to be cautious of Ketter polynomials, considering that they are Keter-class SCPs.
I was looking for the Desmarais theorem but I only found one about rings. Now I realized that the theorem doesn't even exist.

I'll have to check but this just might br the integral I've been needing for some of my physics research calculations!!!

Damn even as someone who cleansed my mind of integration as soon as I finished the calc courses I needed, I got like 4 programming jokes out of this.
So I've been struggling with Gilgamesh all this time and you're telling me there's a skip?!
That escalated quickly
Can't you just Dumbledor transform the integral into a second order ODE involving hte Gandalf operator?
The Dumbledore transform only works for harmonic functions, though.
This is the best calculus speed run tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you!
I used Feynman's Leibniz rule to differentiate under the integral sign, and strangely enough the answer was one over the fine structure constant to first order.
Haha, that was actually quite a good impression of Michael Penn's style. 🙂
I expected a shitpost, instead I got art. And developed a mild phobia of double integrals.
The tutor in my physics exercise actually recommended your channel to me :)
Evaluating one hard integral is better than evaluating many simple integrals.
Seeing the source code for the physics engine made me laugh.
...and we never saw the solution to the primary question...
I was waiting for sudden warped spacetime glitches with a slight mix of quantum gravity, but simple buffer overflow might be okay too
