Haha thanks for the explanation :) Actually figuring out that Jon cannot hear Garfields thoughts and that Garfield is always a step ahead of him made it much easier to understand
Comment on Garfield
magic_lobster_party@kbin.run 1 week agoMy interpretation is that Jon starts talking about how division by 0 is not possible. Garfield then goes on about how we can use limits to assign values to such expressions, which we can use to calculate derivatives. I guess Garfield starts to question whether dy/dx really exists after all this.
Jon then changes the subject to be about integrals, which Garfield is immediately annoyed about the missing +C.
It’s super funny.

Is the +C “new”? I have a B.Sc majoring in mathematics. Now I graduated over 30 years ago and I never used much that I leaned in my degree during my career - so I couldn’t differentiate or integrate to save my life today. But, the equations at least look familiar. The +C does not.

Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).
