"The number infinity is not a number, it's a concept; it's the largest possible thing that you never ever get to."
"Asymptotes are lines that the hyperbola will never touch."
"The idea of a conjugate is not going to go away, it's just a special way of multiplying by a very similar term that gets rid of the radicals."
"The supremum of a set is the least upper bound of that set."
"It's just an equation that has a derivative."
"This is the idea behind the exact equation."
"What is probability? It's a measure that tells you roughly on average how likely an event is to occur."

"These special points are called Sigma points."
"Mutually exclusive is when there's no overlap; those are the easy ones, we just add up the probabilities."
"What exactly is a proportion? A proportion is a ratio that's equal to another ratio."
"If observing what y is doesn't tell you anything about what x is, that's really your intuitive definition of independence."
"For a given involution on a set, each element must either map to itself or be paired with a different element."
"Maximization is equivalent to minimizing only the negative of the function."
"The convolution of two time functions is the product of their Fourier transforms."
