    π is a little overrated but it's incredible it appears in ζ(2) and I don't understand why (so I'm trying to figure it out)

    this is assuming you mean numbers

      my math knowledge isn't good enough yet to understand why π shows up in the zeta function but it's sufficient enough to understand that e^x is better because I'm lazy at integration and differentiation

      I'm so proud of myself for researching calculus over the past month because now I know what you mean by differentiation and integration

      nx^(n-1) and (x^n+1)/n+1 am i right (i know basically none of the rules apart this because i don't need to learn them)

      trigonometric substitution is more fun

      i don't know what that is .. yet

      also markdown fail from me lol

      also this likely means nothing to anyone but i figured out that why the derivative of x is 1 by myself B) (power rule so it's 1x^0)

      Differentiation rules come from the definition of derivative

      where

      lim [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h
      h->0

      h represents Δx (or dx)


      so differentiation is just finding the rate of change of a function with Δx approaching 0 (giving the exact rate of change and not just an estimation)

      i remember reading that somewhere
      probably https://mathsisfun.com/calculus/index.html (a great website)
