I watch their videos all the time! Unfortunately though, I haven't found really anything that talks about stuff after the 2nd semester of calculus or whatever. Every video available for further study (by other people) is not user-friendly at all.

Maybe I will have to make some videos some day.

Hey guys, I know a couple of you are pretty mathy. I saw this question on stack exchange: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/265981/50165

and it got me pretty worked up because I love this kind of stuff. I know that the indefinite integral is not expressible in terms of elementary functions, so I was thinking, like the original poster was, that it could be split up and done with polylogarithms or something. Anybody wanna take a swing at it?

I just discovered something about myself today.
I am allot better at algebra than I thought I was.

For example, I saw the Numbers 1964 on the electric meter on the outside of a house. I was able to deduct in a second that if I subtrack 1 from 4, then add the 6 it would equal the 9 left over.

I tried it again at the number 6150000 that was on a street sign. the first number in the group was equal to all the rest of the numbers in a group.

1+5+0s=6.

I've been doing this for a while and was able to calculate my birthday 12,9,1994.
9+2=11
9x11=99
2x2=4
1=1

The numbers of the month and day would be able to equal the year I was born.

That's not algebra, that's numerology... XD

Change it.
When I said 9x2=99, I didn't multiple the number, but to actually increase the amount of the #9.
9x2=99 as in two 9s.

Numbers are strange.
For example I see many things in shops and ads in form of 69PLN or 6.90 pln or smth.69 pln... are people doing it especially? Or my perverted mind only notices this number everywhere? Why is it in so many numbers of things around? Is it coincidence?

I can understand the "9" part as a gimmick; lowering the price by one would make, say, 30 become 29, and people will see the
"2" and think it's a LOT less.
But the "6", I think it's just you.

No one figure this out yet?
It really that simple.
