Hey there, after defining the parabola using a focus and showing its connection to conic sections, we'll today calculate via integration the Universal Parabolic Constant :) Enjoy! =D

"2 is not zero... it is the successor of 1" 😭😂

[@r4_in_space]

The representation for this constant should be the greek letter Psi because it looks like the parabolic arc and the two focal lenghts.

I thought the only way to summon MrBeast (and his lawyers) was to accuse his crew members of acting like degenerates on a youtube video, but I guess you learn something new everyday. Thanks Flammy!

SO FUCKING REAL

[@ianmathwiz7]

Speaking of the cycloid videos, one potential video idea would be to derive the cycloid equation as a solution of the FLRW equations for a closed matter-dominated universe.

[@tylerwebb7303]

Love your videos, don’t waste anytime getting to the point or over explaining which a lot of mathematicians lose their audience to, and you give just the right amount, sir. Amazing!

Mal wieder ein Banger

[@henrymarkson3758]

I never knew that parabolas have a rectum, I thought it was just a part of the human anatomy.
Live and learn.

1+sqrt(2) is also the Silver Ratio, the second Metallic Number.

[@HaniaTauqeer-c2k]

Seriously there more? I only just got used to the conic sections.
Oh well there’s another Saturday afternoon gone

[@Arycke]

Early! Great video as always. Thank you, sir.

[@erikhaag4250]

Why are you saying "area" instead of "arc" or "inverse" when referring to the inverse hyperbolic sine or cosine functions? they do relate to area, but that's not the names I'm familiar with. Is it a regional thing?

[@PapaFlammy69]

Those are the names, arc does not apply as a prefix for hyperbolic functions.

[@erikhaag4250]

@@PapaFlammy69 I looked it up and you're right of course, I just assumed that arc- prefix carried over from circular trig. TIL

[@tomkerruish2982]

Mathematica has this wrong; the inverse hyperbolic trig functions are all prefixed 'Arc' rather than 'Ar'.

[@Milan_Openfeint]

I have a book that's like 60 years old and it calls them argsinh and argcosh (argument of sinh).

[@danielc.martin]

Great!

[@quantumbanana]

It's weird to me that it involves twice the focal length, just another example of how tau is the true circle constant I guess :P

[@Milan_Openfeint]

Honestly the ratio doesn't look like 2.3, more like 1.6 at most.

[@PapaFlammy69]

yeye

[@opensocietyenjoyer]

the greatest number i've never heard of doesn't exist as the set of numbers i have never heard of is not compact.

[@tomkerruish2982]

Noncompact sets can have maximal elements, e.g. the half-open interval (0,1].

[@opensocietyenjoyer]

@@tomkerruish2982 yeah, but you get the point

[@marctelfer6159]

There is only *one* true parabola

[@samamethyst997]

How tf was your video made 53 years ago?

[@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS]

Nah, universal parabolic constant is too complex of a name.
I like *parabolic pi* more

[@T3WI]

But that’s a letter flammie

YOOOOO
