So in my calculus III class, we're learning how to solve multiple integrals. I like to write about what I'm learning in my math classes, but I don't really have a lot of application for this. So, I decided to expand on my favorite integral. Here is my result:
For those of you who can solve this, go ahead—it's fun. But for those of you who can't, let me walk you through it. We first solve the inside most integral.
Substitute this back...
Now solve the inside integral again...
Substitute this back... (math is sometimes a lot of 'rinse and repeat')
Now, solve the finial integral...
There you have it. Mathematically I've shown that if you use the correct limits of integration, and do so three times (i.e. if you do it right) then can end up being 69. Don't get it? Then try and read the letters of the previous equation. Yep, I've learned so much now that I am attending a university raked in the top 20 in the country, I'm making licentious innuendos using math for lack of anything else to demonstrate.
