Noone understands Implicit function theorem 1st time through : FACT

I know a really good way of explaining it and all of this module's myriad mysteries. If you want it- post here!

Could be useful, I'll at least see what I've missed. :p

So do we want the implicit function theorem on its own or should I throw in the inverse function theorem for giggles?

Or should I just do a survey of the whole damn subject?!

I would certainly come along, unless I was busy, or had something more exciting to do.
Both these things are unlikely.

I vote whole damn subject, but with emphasis on the bits nobody understands. I think we can skip the definition of a norm, for instance.

I vote I don't give it this year, after my "linear map" fiasco. :-D

I'd be up for that, I've forgotten everything and I'm not exactly looking forward to learning everything again

I agree, I'd like to see this happen (and I'd prefer an overview of the whole subject).

I'd also be in favour of a crash course. Also some degree of view to the future i.e. what do we need to know from this course in modules next year which have this as a pre req?

Thanks

A crash course on the entire module would be amazing - I've missed virtually the whole course. Possible to fit this into just an hour though?

Now begins our intensive review system...

Questions? Comments?

Too Slow? Too fast?!

More examples? Should it have been a 2 man job so I didn't get lost looking for a precise statement of the IFT? :p

I was sorely tempted to Troll this thread and say the lecture was rubbish. However the huge backlash against me may have distorted the feedback somewhat. Consider yourselves lucky :p

Trolling is the art of making a contentious statement just to cause outrage. But I thought he really might need serious feedback. Come on people, let him feel your love!

I thought it was quite good overall, most of your explanations were clear and concise (with the exception of O(h) and the IFT I think :p). The lack of examples was to be expected since people wanted a full review of the course in two hours (and also since 99% of said examples are horribly boring), which leaves little time for anything besides the main theorems, but you still gave some idea of what those examples could be I guess. All in all I think it should have been pretty helpful to most people.

Was the IFT (i'm guessing I is for "implicit" rather than "inverse") understandable in the end though?

I suspect it was (it was to me at the very least), it was mostly a case of it taking a bit too much time I think.
