Sir Isaac Newton is at once something of a hero and the bane of my existence. My latest problem has me trying to use integration by parts of natural exponentials and trigonometric functions. The last time I had to do this in earnest was 1994 (if that late). In a way it’s been fun going back and re-learning all of the Calculus and differential equations I’ve forgotten. On the other hand, it’s time-consuming to have to go back and look it up, and it causes my homework to be late more often than I care to admit.
If anyone in a small town called Rolla runs into a guy named Wyatt, give him a hearty handshake for me! I don’t think I’d’ve figured out that one problem without him pointing out what example to follow!
