but putting by taking the differential

but putting by taking the differential equations and doing some nasty

equations and doing some nasty

equations and doing some nasty calculations which I don’t intend to

calculations which I don’t intend to

calculations which I don’t intend to show you because honestly I get scared

show you because honestly I get scared

show you because honestly I get scared when I see them you can calculate or

when I see them you can calculate or

when I see them you can calculate or predict the weather for six days in

predict the weather for six days in

predict the weather for six days in advance amazing isn’t it the scope that

advance amazing isn’t it the scope that

advance amazing isn’t it the scope that math gives us is an imaginable I’ve been

math gives us is an imaginable I’ve been

math gives us is an imaginable I’ve been talking about the physical world and our

talking about the physical world and our

talking about the physical world and our math affects the physical world keep

math affects the physical world keep

math affects the physical world keep that in mind

math is so common it’s in a showers well

math is so common it’s in a showers well not actually in a showers but it can

not actually in a showers but it can

not actually in a showers but it can help us determine how much water we use

keep this in mind an average Columbian

keep this in mind an average Columbian person uses a hundred and thirty liters

person uses a hundred and thirty liters

person uses a hundred and thirty liters per day and has a shower between five

per day and has a shower between five

per day and has a shower between five and eight minutes that’s a lot of water

and eight minutes that’s a lot of water

and eight minutes that’s a lot of water and in a society where water is becoming

and in a society where water is becoming

and in a society where water is becoming a scarce resource it’s important that we

a scarce resource it’s important that we

a scarce resource it’s important that we take in consideration the amount of

take in consideration the amount of

take in consideration the amount of water we use by putting this data points

water we use by putting this data points

water we use by putting this data points about how much water you use in the day

about how much water you use in the day

about how much water you use in the day and how much time you shower you can

and how much time you shower you can

and how much time you shower you can find an equation that when you do you

find an equation that when you do you

find an equation that when you do you find the derivative you can calculate

find the derivative you can calculate

find the derivative you can calculate the relative rate of change of the water

the relative rate of change of the water

the relative rate of change of the water what does this mean the fluid how much

what does this mean the fluid how much

what does this mean the fluid how much water comes out when you have a shower

water comes out when you have a shower

water comes out when you have a shower of eight minutes why are we doing this

of eight minutes why are we doing this

of eight minutes why are we doing this we don’t do it just to just to do some

we don’t do it just to just to do some

we don’t do it just to just to do some fun equations and some math most people

fun equations and some math most people

fun equations and some math most people don’t like it really we do it to solve a

don’t like it really we do it to solve a

don’t like it really we do it to solve a problem we do this to see how much water

problem we do this to see how much water

problem we do this to see how much water we use

don’t worry I know people like the

don’t worry I know people like the showers and they like having showers

showers and they like having showers

showers and they like having showers with a nice pressure because honestly

with a nice pressure because honestly

with a nice pressure because honestly it’s good and relaxing and you enjoy

it’s good and relaxing and you enjoy

it’s good and relaxing and you enjoy your showers and you think that by

your showers and you think that by

your showers and you think that by having by using the least amount water

having by using the least amount water

having by using the least amount water possible you’ll have pressure that won’t

possible you’ll have pressure that won’t

possible you’ll have pressure that won’t satisfy you but it’s not true we can

satisfy you but it’s not true we can

satisfy you but it’s not true we can calculate and create shower heads with

calculate and create shower heads with

calculate and create shower heads with the pressure you want by using math just

the pressure you want by using math just

the pressure you want by using math just with the Bernoulli principle that’s a

with the Bernoulli principle that’s a

with the Bernoulli principle that’s a principle that relates the speed of a

principle that relates the speed of a

principle that relates the speed of a fluid and the pressure of the fluid a

fluid and the pressure of the fluid a

fluid and the pressure of the fluid a bit of math and the pressure formula you

bit of math and the pressure formula you

bit of math and the pressure formula you can do this you can you can create

can do this you can you can create

can do this you can you can create shower heads with the pressures you want

shower heads with the pressures you want

shower heads with the pressures you want and with the least amount of water

and with the least amount of water

and with the least amount of water consumption possible amazing isn’t it

consumption possible amazing isn’t it

consumption possible amazing isn’t it I’ve been talking about how math affects

I’ve been talking about how math affects

I’ve been talking about how math affects the physical world let’s get out of this

the physical world let’s get out of this

the physical world let’s get out of this scope and let’s see how math affects the

scope and let’s see how math affects the

scope and let’s see how math affects the how math affects the personal life math

how math affects the personal life math

how math affects the personal life math is so broad and so beautiful that we

is so broad and so beautiful that we

is so broad and so beautiful that we don’t have to link it to the physical

don’t have to link it to the physical

don’t have to link it to the physical world do you all know what the

world do you all know what the

world do you all know what the coefficient of correlation is the

coefficient of correlation is the

coefficient of correlation is the coefficient of correlation is a value

coefficient of correlation is a value

coefficient of correlation is a value between zero and one that measures the

between zero and one that measures the

between zero and one that measures the interdependence of two variables now

interdependence of two variables now

interdependence of two variables now let’s imagine that one variable the

let’s imagine that one variable the

let’s imagine that one variable the x-axis take the column variable is the

x-axis take the column variable is the

x-axis take the column variable is the amount of styles you times you fail what

amount of styles you times you fail what

amount of styles you times you fail what is failure well for me failure can be

is failure well for me failure can be

is failure well for me failure can be actually not passing my math exams or

actually not passing my math exams or

actually not passing my math exams or probably not getting the girl of the

probably not getting the girl of the

probably not getting the girl of the party or losing a football match because

party or losing a football match because

party or losing a football match because that’s that hurts my heart and then the

that’s that hurts my heart and then the

that’s that hurts my heart and then the y-axis static home you put the amount of

y-axis static home you put the amount of

y-axis static home you put the amount of times you succeed once again that

times you succeed once again that

times you succeed once again that success is very broad and normally

success is very broad and normally

success is very broad and normally success is the opposite is failure so

success is the opposite is failure so

success is the opposite is failure so for me would be actually passing my math

for me would be actually passing my math

for me would be actually passing my math exam getting the girl or winning the

exam getting the girl or winning the

exam getting the girl or winning the match by calculating the coefficient of

match by calculating the coefficient of

match by calculating the coefficient of correlation between these two variables

correlation between these two variables

correlation between these two variables you can measure how many times you’re

you can measure how many times you’re

you can measure how many times you’re gonna have to fail in order to succeed
