Man I was already lost as fuck in calc 2 but then they started asking me to prove shit and I was like “arent you supposed to prove this to me, not the other way around?”
To be fair, having an understanding of how a particular formula or relationship was discovered and proved makes it a lot easier to remember and intuit the possible applications. Like, even the basic stuff like connecting derivatives to slopes and rates of growth helps you partially recreate the formulas for them, if you didn’t memorize them symbol for symbol
Whatever it takes to prove that √(log k/ε² + log log n) error bound with 95% probability – “probably almost correct” – what else do you need, really?
I am bad at statistics, and have no clue what those tests are. But damm I do relate. This is how doing the statistics project and exam felt.
Don’t forget E[X] <= max(X).
Add some whonky Akkadian math. Pretty sure most people will just sort of not say anything and pretend they understand it.
(Just like I’m doing with the meme…)
