What is the third dimension? Just a shadow of the fourth dimension just like the second dimension is a shadow of the third. When are we going to be working in 4 dimensions, Mr. Cresswell? My brain wants to be stretched and pulled and put in the rack.
Why do we study math? I think its so we can explain the world that surrounds us. From the meat inside of our body to planets and singularities, that is what math is for, but why can't it explain the things inside of us like emotions and consciousness? I possess such reverence for math because I think that it is the language of the universe, but there is a huge part missing in its vocabulary.
Anyways, we learned how to rotate things around the x-axis, y-axis, and other linear lines to make a 3d section. The mathematical process is pretty easy per se, just take the integral from the start point to the end point, square it, and multiply by pi, but the logic behind it is world changing. Major props to Isaac Newton and all of his homies because they were so intuitive. I used to think that limits were some sort of math hocus pocus that were just some sort of pseudo-idea that really didn't exist, sort of like how .9 repeating = 1, but I now know that limits are most definitely a "real" idea. Who would have ever thought to add up the area of infinitely small rectangles?! Math, mang.
