Looking for a animator/producer to create a deep dive into calculus video.

Open bpt246 opened this issue 3 years ago • 10 comments

Hello! I'm Bennett and I'm looking for a animator/producer to help me get the message of calculus across to the youth. The main point I want to take a deep dive into is derivates and how they can be used and possibly abused to how you would like, giving derivates more of a realistic view over the more simplistic view can help children really connect with the teacher and the subject.

Thank you.

Hey There! I'd like to help you create some animations. Do you have anything specific in mind? Specific topics or examples etc Thanks in advance

Yes! If you create a equation like d/dx(d/dx(d/x(d/x(d/dx(x^5))))) it is 5!(it works if you have 6 derivates and then put x^6), I would like to express this and possibly break it to show that these hard topics have a realistic feel(you could use personification in your animation to express this). I know this is just messing with the power rule but could you mess with other topics like this in calculus.

Thank you so much for responding.

oh so you like want me to mess around with the topic and have fun with it, while also establishing some relativity with it and real life topics?

I would personally love everyone working on it(right now it is just me, you and maybe my friend) to have free will(but contained in a calculus setup). Several topics still relating to that main idea would be perfect. From free to use your own ideas in the final copy.

More of a mathematical portion- Do you believe that the derivative thing I was showing you proves that repeating derivatives are fundamentally about factorials(when using it in conjunction with the power rule)?

Thank you! :D

I just tried this with other powers and it works! But I could not find any proofs online. It is interesting regardless

I'd like to start collaborating with you

Yes! I was working with other powers and adding some multiplication and stuff like that into the equation. Do you know somewhere we could message privately?

Hey,

Maybe a bit late to post this here, but the idea you guys are working on about deriving multilple times is closely related to the idea of fractional derivatives. More precisely, the relation you guys are posting is where the idea of a fractional derivative comes. It has to do with the factorial and Cauchy's formula for repeated integration.

I leave a few links here so you guys can look them up.

Fractional derivatives Cauchy's formula for repeated integration

Whether you use this info or not, I find this topic interesting and I think you guys will do an amazing job. Keep up the work and I'm looking forward to seen the final result :)
