    132 is basically (60 × 2) + (10 + 2) 120 +12 = 132

    Problem number 2 is really interesting. When the question is first shown on the screen at the start, it is A ∩ (B ∪ C) and (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) around 24 second mark. However When we go to solve it, around the 9:30 mark it changed to A ∩ (B ∪ C) and A ∪ (B ∩ C) . I believe that A ∩ (B ∪ C) and (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) is equal while A ∩ (B ∪ C) and A ∪ (B ∩ C) is not. I was coming up with a different answer and I believe that to be the reason why. That being said, this is still an excellent video and explains the concepts very well.

    There's another error in Example 4: Cook could also be at 8.5 degrees North. lat = e - 90 + d and that would be valid too.

  • @csvaughen
    @csvaughenАй бұрын

    thanks for the feedback, but I think you are making an error by using lat = e - 90 + d. It should be either 90-e+d (northern hemisphere, and the choice for Cook) or 90-e-d (southern hemisphere) so this does require knowing which hemisphere you are in, but there are many natural cues for that.

    @@csvaughen Your second formula doesn't reflect signs very well. I watched the derivation you provided and noticed that in your 'southern hemisphere' example you take positive theta for a latitude south of the Equator. So using your second formula 90-e-d, you get -8.5 deg, but since you considered theta positive for southern latitudes, then -8.5 deg would be 8.5 deg North. Also, one more thing: The criterion that decides which formula to use is NOT whether you are N or S of the Equator but rather whether you are N or S of 22.9 degrees (the parallel corresponding to the declination). It would be as you say when dec=0 (on the equinoxes).

    There is already a certain asymmetry between winning and losing, a shift in the direction of loss even if I win the same percentage as I lose. If I start with $100 and gain 1% (101% = $101), then lose 1% (101*99%=99.99), the end result is -1Cent loss.

  • @csvaughen
    @csvaughen2 ай бұрын

    yes, I've always found that result interesting, equal percent gains and losses cause a long term loss over time. Nevertheless, that does not change the results derived here.

    What If: the three bodies are of different nature / substance? Like: Human - AGI - ASI Physical - Digital - Quantum At the same they are of similar natu as they "contain" each other. Just following generally different rules of behaviour. This is a pure speculation though.

  • @csvaughen
    @csvaughen4 ай бұрын

    yes, fascinating to think about: the "bodies" measured by something other than mass and the "interactions" governed by something other than gravity. It seems like going from 2 to 3 bodies would always significantly complicate the interactions and this example, with mass and gravity, is just one illustration of that.

    are you sure that declaration is 23.45 at tropic of cancer? what about 23.5?

  • @csvaughen
    @csvaughen5 ай бұрын

    Interesting question: From wikipedia: The Tropic of Cancer's position is not fixed, but constantly changes because of a slight wobble in the Earth's longitudinal alignment relative to the ecliptic, the plane in which the Earth orbits around the Sun. Earth's axial tilt varies over a 41,000-year period from about 22.1 to 24.5 degrees, and as of 2000 is about 23.4 degrees, which will continue to remain valid for about a millennium. This wobble means that the Tropic of Cancer is currently drifting southward at a rate of almost half an arcsecond (0.468″) of latitude, or 15 m (49 ft), per year. The circle's position was at exactly 23° 27′N in 1917 and will be at 23° 26'N in 2045. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropic_of_Cancer

  • @csvaughen
    @csvaughen6 ай бұрын

    thanks for your comment, however (100-2) is correct because, in that event, you win $100 and pay for one ticket which costs $2, thus the profit would be $98. The chance of winning the $100 prize is based on 2 tickets out of 500 so the probability is 2/500. Still, we calculate outcome of that event based on winning one ticket (100 - 2) because question asks for expected value of a single ticket.

    Chris, This is really good. I'm familiar with the topic, so that helped, but your coverage was great. I especially like the result of just changing the mass of one of the three bodies. One key point is that the simulation easily scales to N bodies. Whereas even if a math genius eventually creates a 3 body closed form solution, I cannot imagine anyone even trying to create an N body closed form.
