Had trouble remembering the big SI prefixes, especially the new ones. Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera are old school. Peta you see sometimes. Then it gets easy, why argue?

@JanWillemTulp Thanks again Jan for helping spread the word =)

[Kalid Azad @betterexplained]

@Freshphoton Ah, not super well-versed with rigorous proof writing, but I'd browse the /r/math and stackexchange for recommendations and see if any of the writing style resonates. Something I'd like to get more familiar with too!

@bhatkrishnak Ack! Changed link to the https://t.co/ZmLTGcgVMv version. Thanks.

@ygg_crypto No problem, hope it helps; still working out the right analogy for it

[Kalid Azad @betterexplained]

@ygg_crypto It definitely confused me too, I'd like to write more on this one.

[Kalid Azad @betterexplained]

@ygg_crypto Great topic. Rough analogy, I see x and y as functions of t (time). We derive the equation connecting x and y with respect to t, making a connection between dx/dt and dy/dt. We decide x = t, so dx/dt = 1 (x and t move together). That clears dx/dt, solve for dy/dt, which is dy/dx

[Kalid Azad @betterexplained]

@neuralreckoning Thanks Dan. One of the nice side effects of writing things out is making explicit our internal analogies. For example, instead of e^i (which is baffling as a concept), we write "spin". (e = continuous growth, i = rotation, combine them to get a spin)
