In the 20th century, Newton’s model was replaced by general relativity where gravity is not a force but the result of the geometry of spacetime. Under general relativity, anti-gravity is impossible except under contrived circumstances.

Leibniz’s Paper on Calculus But Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz independently invented calculus. He invented calculus somewhere in the middle of the 1670s.

Today it is generally believed that calculus was discovered independently in the late 17th century by two great mathematicians: Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity.

Einstein denied several times that black holes could form. In 1939 he published a paper that argues that a star collapsing would spin faster and faster, spinning at the speed of light with infinite energy well before the point where it is about to collapse into a Schwarzchild singularity, or black hole.

The black hole outburst was probably caused by a large hydrogen cloud up to 100,000 times the Sun’s mass falling onto the disk of material swirling near the central black hole. The resulting outburst sent cones of blistering ultraviolet radiation above and below the plane of the galaxy and deep into space.

Einstein’s theory of general relativity mathematically predicts the existence of wormholes, but none have been discovered to date. A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by.

A Harvard physicist has shown that wormholes can exist: tunnels in curved space-time, connecting two distant places, through which travel is possible. …

Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity by Einstein, but whether wormholes actually exist remains to be seen. A wormhole could connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years or more, short distances such as a few meters, different universes, or different points in time.

Physicists have worked out a way that it might be feasible to send someone through a wormhole. Wormholes are tunnels between two black holes that connect distant regions of space-time, and normally it would be impossible to pass something through them, but factoring in an extra dimension might make it possible.

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, they are possible, but no sign of them has ever been spotted. Furthermore, scientists say, a wormhole would likely collapse quickly unless it was propped open using some kind of negative-energy matter.

Leibniz’s Paper on Calculus But Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz independently invented calculus He invented calculus somewhere in the middle of the 1670s He said that he conceived of the ideas in about 1674, and then published the ideas in 1684, 10 years later

Modern calculus was developed in 17th-century Europe by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (independently of each other, first publishing around the same time) but elements of it appeared in ancient Greece, then in China and the Middle East, and still later again in medieval Europe and in India

He found that by using calculus, he could explain how planets moved and why the orbits of planets are in an ellipse This is one of Newton’s break throughs: that the gravitational force that holds us to the ground is the same force that causes the planets to orbit the Sun and the Moon to orbit Earth

The fundamental idea of calculus is to study change by studying “instantaneous ” change, by which we mean changes over tiny intervals of time And what good is that? It turns out that such changes tend to be lots simpler than changes over finite intervals of time This means they are lots easier to model

The word “calculus” comes from “rock”, and also means a stone formed in a body People in ancient times did arithmetic with piles of stones, so a particular method of computation in mathematics came to be known as calculus

Calculus is a branch of mathematics focused on limits, functions, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series

Add a comment 1 Calculus I typically covers differential calculus (in one variable), plus related topics such as limits Calculus II typically covers integral calculus in one variable Calculus III is the term for multivariate calculus, and is an introduction to vector calculus

The description of Calc 4 from their catalog is “Differential calculus of vector-valued functions, transformation of coordinates, change of variables in multiple integrals If they don’t offer calc 4 as your post states, most likely this course is called differential equations and linear algebra

Calculus 3, also called Multivariable Calculus or Multivariate expands upon your knowledge of single-variable calculus and applies it to the 3D world In other words, we will be exploring functions of two variables which are described in the three-dimensional coordinate systems

Calculus 3

Most people suggest taking calc 3 because calc 3 is easier than DiffEQ You do some basic differential equations in the end of calc 3 (or maybe it was calc 2, it’s been like 3 years for me now), but you cover that within the first 2 weeks of the class I’m surprised you can even take Diff Eq before Calc 3

Differential equations is a bit easier than calc 3, but having knowledge of partial fractions helps in differentials Good to know, thanks! I found Calc 3 to be really cool 3D geometry, vectors, triple integrals (which make you feel badass when solving them), line integrals, and greens theorem

Linear Algebra

Differential Equations may dip into some areas of calc 3, depending on the teacher Additionally, if you’re taking physics 2 at the same time as Calc 3 and Diff Eq, you’re going to find a lot of commonality across the three courses Just don’t take anything else at the same time

Taking linear algebra before calc 3 will develop your mathematical maturity and help you in visualizing and working with functions of higher dimensional input and output spaces However, the benefits don’t stop there! It turns out that linear algebra is fundamental to the study of calculus

Diff eq was easily the hardest math class we had to take during the first two years, but linear algebra was easier than mth 251 – which was the second easiest I destroyed linear algebra and got a 99% in the class Our differential equations course made use of linear algebra to solve systems of differential equations

It’s really not Some people will act like it’s the hardest thing when they aren’t well-studied in math fundamentals (and I suppose a bad professor can make it unnecessarily difficult) but conceptually, the actual material in ordinary differential equations isn’t difficult to understand

Because they have more degrees of freedom than ODEs they are generally a lot harder to crack If a PDE doesn’t have partial derivatives in at least two different variables, then it’s just an ODE
