Let's say you have a snowplow. As the snowplow drives forward it pushes snow so snow accumulates on the snowplow. But as there is snow in front of the snowplow it moves more slowly. However, if you were to be curious as to the total amount of snow collected on the snowplow in a certain period of time, this would be an integral with respect to time.

inkyvoyd · Answer

I can't say for sure what amount of snow would be on the snowplow, but if you modelled the rate of change (how fast the snowplow is getting snow on it) as a function of time, if you integrated the function you would get a function that would tell you the total amount of snow on a snowplow.

@inkyvoyd, can you please never ever help me!

inkyvoyd · Answer

@SolomonZelman , Is there something wrong with my snowplow analogy? I'll come up with another one if you need it...

wow what did @inkyvoyd  do to you? besides stating the obvious

usukidoll · Answer

can you please provide a proof? Prove that @inkyvoyd is linearly independent...I'm just kidding @inkyvoyd

inkyvoyd · Answer

Let's say you are slowly getting progressively angerier at user @inkyvoyd over time. If you were to model this anger function as a function of time, to get an idea of how angry you were at user @inkyvoyd , you would take the integral of it with respect to time. You are essentially accumulating units of anger over time to change a rate of change function (anger per time) to an anger function (simply units of anger)

Keeps spanning and spanning everything 1000 times and messes all my attempts to learn a/t! Why can't he leave if he doesn't want to explain instead of posting links.
that is all I am asking " explanations instead of links.

inkyvoyd · Answer

@SolomonZelman , I've stopped posting links as to your request. But it appears that the anger function is at this point a positive feedback function, which would make for one VERY nasty integral
