    In my opinion there are way easier and more general examples to use, for learning about differential equations. 3blue1brown has done a great job in that regard. I very much prefer the classic pendulum and heat-transfer as starting points. Just not the chase curve. But this might be just my personal preference.

    I'm not sure what the narrator is trying to say at 6:00, but that's not a differential equation in the usual sense at all, but actually a *differential inequality* ... it is generally true for any two vectors that 𝐀⁄|𝐀| · 𝐁⁄|𝐁| = 1 ⇔ 𝐀·𝐁 > 0 . So, all the problem stated at 6:00 is actually saying is that (𝐦 - 𝐜)·d𝐜⁄dt > 0; i.e. 𝐦·d𝐜⁄dt > 𝐜·d𝐜⁄dt. If the additional assumption |𝐜|² = 1 is being made, then since 𝐜·d𝐜⁄dt = d/dt (|𝐜|²/2) = 0, then the inequality reduces to 𝐦·d𝐜⁄dt > 0. *Any* unit vector 𝐜(t) function of time (i.e. |𝐜(t)|² = 1) for which 𝐦(t)·𝐜'(t) > 0 is a solution to the problem.

    4:10 There's this famous example of a pursuit curve. The French wanted to make an anti ship missile. So they built a missile, slapped on a sensor, and then programmed the missile to always fly towards the target. In the first test, they launched against a *small* "drone" target. As the distance approached 0, the tightness of the turn required to remain on target approaches infinity. So it missed. It now locked on to a stationary buoy. But the buoy was WAY too *small* for the missile to hit, so it missed. Finally, it locked on to a *large* civilian cargo ship, which was minding its own business. The testers panic, because that ship is in range, it's so large they think the missile WILL hit, and they didn't bother to install a remote termination system. The missile again lowers its altitude to the sea skimming attack pattern. It makes the last course adjustments... ...and misses. Finally it runs out of fuel and crashes into a busy shipping lane. When Sweden's FOA (defence research institution) learnt of this, they fed the missile's guidance algorithm into their brand new (for that time) supercomputer, and the output predicted the exact flight pattern of that French missile. That was when the French leant about "CBDR-pursuit" (Constant Bearing Decreasing Range) and "PIP-guidance" (Predicted Impact Point).

    Just like how grass is always greener on the other side, everybody likes to say that their education systems are bad etc. But I'm so glad that our state school syllabus (Indian) had a chapter in 12th Maths called "Application of derivatives" and it taught us practical applications of differential equations. It had problems very similar to those shown in the video. Motion of a rocket with time varying mass, filling up of conical containers with time varying radius, maximizing volume of solids for given surface areas, etc. And I must say, that is what really made me fall in love with differential equations. I just laugh at people who say "When am I ever going to use calculus in real life?" Because I know how useful they really are.

    It has been many decades since I first learned various methods for solving differential equations, and used them throughout my career as an engineer. I remain impressed about how easy it is to write down a differential equation, as opposed to the difficulty in solving it. Despite advanced methods of numerical analyses, analytical solutions still come down to educated guesswork: intuit a possible solution, plug it into the equation, and find out if it works.

    It's no different than other math logic. Y=X+1 for example is a very basic expression. You can instantly explain it since it's so simple. But if you change it so Y=1+dx/dt, then we have a Y which is going to be different in the same system for every sample we take of x in the timeline (see how sneaky it is?). We simply take the two dimensional space and move it across the timeline in order to get a function in time. This is literally all there is to it, but written down in a single line for convenience. You don't want to write a hundred lines for a hundred samples of X now do you... Newton probably got pissed by this exact thing. I'm no Newton and the idea of such a tedium pisses me off.

For example, setting c to 1 could mean that the time you are using afterwards is a different time (where the unit is not one sec). Nothing to do with the approximation of g, in which case you just accept to have slightly different result (or maybe the precision of the other datas you are using is so bad that it would be sensless to use a more precise g)

    Up until Calc2, I had been a natural in math. But it stopped clicking sometime around when we were studying integrals, logarithms, and series. The nail in the coffin was the project I chose to try, which was to describe the curve of an archery bow as it was being drawn, relating the bow length, arc, and draw length or something like that. I flunked that project. I've since looked it up and found that I had bitten off more than I could chew because the related math and physics were a bit beyond what I had been studying at the time. But I didn't know that because my teacher didn't preview our project ideas to make sure we were on topic. So that's my advice to any would-be teachers reading. Be proactive with your students, ask them for updates on their semester projects and ask if they need any help. Don't just throw them in the deep end with no support.
