    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!

    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.

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

    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!

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

    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
      @PapaFlammy69  2 місяці тому +2

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

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

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

      We have once again run into the hardest part of math: consistent and universally agreed upon notation.
      Aside, I actually rather like the 'arg' prefix, its more intuitive than 'arc' or 'area'.

    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
      @tomkerruish2982 2 місяці тому +1

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