I didn’t make as much progress this week as I hoped I would but I’m still happy with the effort I put in and with what I was able to learn. I ended up watching six videos, reading two articles and finishing off two exercises. The majority of my week was spent working on understanding… Read More Week 204 – July 24th to July 30th

I had another solid week this week and managed to get through 11 videos, one article and two exercises. I finished off the section Divergence, which ended up being fairly straightforward, and almost made it through the following section, Curl, but was one video and two exercises short. I likely would have made it through that section… Read More Week 203 – July 17th to July 23rd

I didn’t reach my goal this week of getting through the section Divergence but did have a very productive week, nonetheless. It was disappointing that it took me until Friday to get through the four articles from the section Differentiating Vector-Valued Functions (Articles), but they gave me a much better intuitive understanding of vectors, their derivatives and curvature,… Read More Week 202 – July 10th to July 16th

For the first time in a while, I actually achieved the goal I set for myself this week! 🥳 I rewatched and worked through the questions in the final three videos from Curvature and then made it through all the videos and exercises in the following section, Partial Derivatives of Vector-Valued Functions. The latter section was pretty straightforward for most… Read More Week 201 – July 3rd to July 9th

I spent this entire week trying to understand curvature but haven’t really figured it out. I think I understand what it is (a measurement for how much a function curves – no surprise there given the name), but I don’t fully understand how to calculate it or why the formula works the way it does. There were nine videos in… Read More Week 200 – June 26th to July 2nd
