I have always been fascinated by games. At the age of 18, I started to get into game programming with C++ and DirectX. I have been working on various little game projects since then.

I decided to take a game development course, but I soon found out how misleading those courses are. In the meantime, I got more and more interested in game physics. At the age of 21 I went to Ghent University, taking a BSc mathematics course intended to be followed by a MSc mathematical computer science. My goal is to create my own game physics engine in C++ and to become a game physics programmer.

comment insight on lemma on linear independence and spanning set
@atricolf because we take the $a_{ij}$ from the $w_i = \sum_j^n{a_{ij}v_j}$, then we choose the unkowns $c_i$ such that the system of linear equations holds. In the end we don't assume that $\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}c_iw_i = 0$. We just end up with $0$ because of the simplification. This is where I seemed to go wrong for hours.

comment insight on lemma on linear independence and spanning set
I think you're assuming $\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}{c_ia_{ij}} = 0$ because we looked at the system of linear equations above. But it never stated $\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}{c_ia_{ij}} = 0$. If we assume that we take exactly those $c_i, a_{ij}$ such that the system holds, it makes a little more sense. Hmm, I think I'm starting to understand now.

I don't understand why $\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}c_ia_{ij} = 0$. I also don't understand why $c_1,\ldots,c_{n+1}$ has atleast one $c_i \neq 0$. I understand all the other steps.

comment Question on polynomial rings
@K.Stm. I'm not sure I haven't seen factor rings yet. I think it's not closed under multiplication because all elements in the set are of degree $\leq$ 1. When you multiply two monomials, there is no closure.

comment How much time is too much (to put into a single problem)?
Thank you - I really like your answer. I am also having trouble with this and certainly going to give this a try.

@dwarandae No in our book both these theorems get proven before the first fundamental theorem of calculus

comment Mean value theorem implies first fundamental theorem of calculus?
Ah @gnometorule that will most likely be the reason. Variables with same names but different meanings get so confusing... Thanks. But maybe your comment should be an answer :)

Because then you generalized all cases with 1 equation/expression

Hmm, this looks correct, but I was hoping for something that would steer me in the direction of |x|/x
