RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017

The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.

If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.

To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

3D math conversion- 3D graph surface equation into catersian coordinate equation

What you do is integrate the separated group into the larger separated group as it if was algebra in order to convert it into Cartesian coordinate.

Remember f= Height of Y. Yes I mean that symbol of graph.

The Cartesian coordinate rule is f(x,y,x,t...)=0

----------

Example one-The Ellipsoid

The equation for the ellipsoid follows by
x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2=1

To convert it-

Step 1- Add the () into the larger group

(x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2)=1

Step 2-Then eliminate the 1 by subtracting both equation by 1 in order to finally convert it into Cartesian coordinate

f(x,y,x,t...)=(x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2)-1
------------
------------
Example two-Elliptic Paraboloid

The equation for the elliptic paraboloid follows by
z/c=x^2+y^2/b^2

To convert it to Cartesian coordinate requires you to subtract z/c. Remember to add f(x,y,x,t...)=(Cartesian form of the original equation)

f(x,y,x,t...)=x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2-z/c
-------------
Convert to Cartesian form the rest yourself
- Hyperbolic Paraboloid equation is z/c=x^2-y^2/b^2 -
- Cone equation is z^2/c^2=x^2+y^2/b^2
- Hyperboloid of One Sheet equation is 1=x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2-z^2/c^2
- Hyperboloid of Two Sweet equation is 1=-x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2

Answers for the conversion
----------
-Hyperbolic Paraboloid in Cartesian form is f(x,y,x,t...)=x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2-z/c -

-Cone in Cartesian form is f(x,y,x,t...)= x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2-z^2/c^2 -

-Hyperboloid of One Sheet in Cartesian form is f(x,y,x,t...)= (x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2-z^2/c^2)-1 -

-Hyperboloid of Two Sheet in Cartesian form is f(x,y,x,t...)=(-x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2)-1 -
-----------

Extra notice- Removed unnecessary parenthesis in the equation conversion to remove the errors. Although the ones in the pic is still valid.

Oh fuck Math in the ass so hard.
Math is the reason I'm failing school, we don't get along.

There's nothing that is absolutely hard about it. I thought the same way as you until I actually start to get motivated and understand it.

Where is all this coming from, might I ask?

I did look into the quadric equations on a calculus book. Then, I decided to apply the knowledge of algebra for use into the k3dsurf program and ended up creating a tutorial. Next lesson is linear approximation.

That thing's like holy water to my poor demonic eyes D:

IT BURNS ME SO

Let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.

~~

Good fortune follows upon disaster;
Disaster lurks within good fortune;
Who can say how things will end?
Perhaps there is no end.
