Setting Up a Beaver Trap | Life Below Zero

All right, good boys. Oh, this is a spot where I've trapped before, but I've had problems finding water. If I don't have water, I'm kind of screwed here. If I got water, I got a chance of making sets.

I can punch through the ice in a couple of different places to see how deep it is. If I'm lucky, I'll find the feed pile. This is an essential piece of equipment for life for me out here. Otherwise, I'd have to go out and spend hours and hours and hours opening up a hole just to get water.

Most important thing is I need to have some water between the bottom of the ice and the bottom of the lake. You need an area there where the beavers can swim in and get caught in your traps. That's half the battle right there.

Now, I got to see how thick the ice is and how deep the water is. Got about 8 inches, so it's not ideal, but I think it'll work right here. I'm just going to set a conibear. I didn't make the hole really big for doing a lot of snares on this, and conibears are really positive—if you nail one, you nail them good with a conibear.

I'm going to have to just take a chance here. See, right now I got no safety on it. If that trigger goes off, the whole thing goes off on me. All right, I think that might work. I think that's going to work.

Partial derivatives of vector fields, component by component

Let’s continue thinking about partial derivatives of vector fields. This is one of those things that’s pretty good practice for some important concepts coming up in multivariable calculus, and it’s also just good to sit down and take a complicated thing a…

Motion along a curve: finding rate of change | Advanced derivatives | AP Calculus BC | Khan Academy

We’re told that a particle moves along the curve (x^2 y^2 = 16), so that the x-coordinate is changing at a constant rate of -2 units per minute. What is the rate of change, in units per minute, of the particle’s y-coordinate when the particle is at the po…

Derivative as a concept | Derivatives introduction | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

You are likely already familiar with the idea of a slope of a line. If you’re not, I encourage you to review it on Khan Academy. But all it is, it’s describing the rate of change of a vertical variable with respect to a horizontal variable. So, for examp…
