Last week we started with proportional. Now let’s look at the next part of the equation, the integral component: Now lets look at the next part of the equation, the integral componentThe most striking (and scariest) part of this equation is the big integral sign in the middle. If you’ve had high school calculus, you think to yourself, “I’ve got this. Integrals don’t scare me. I just need to find the area under the curve from time zero to time t of the error function.” But, this is the real world. What is ... Continue Reading
