By maintaining an active feedback system at every stage of a startup, founders can reduce their burn rate, increase their virality coefficient, and retain key hires.

Coefficients show how many times to use the variable in an algebraic expression.

Quantity Indicator

Coefficients can be numbers or parameters like pi, especially in formulas or equations.

Not Always Numbers

In geometry, coefficients scale a figure's dimensions without changing its shape.

Scale Factor

In statistics, coefficients indicate how strongly two variables are related.

Relationship Strength

Coefficients can signify the direction of a relationship, positive or negative, between variables.

Direction Matters

In physics and chemistry, coefficients quantify physical properties and behaviors of substances or systems.

Property Measure

Some coefficients change based on conditions like temperature and pressure.

Variable Conditions

Coefficients may have units that relate to their specific physical property.

 what's gonna save your life I'm using compressed air here to lower this construction up and down and this thing if you imagine it's your feet little lower down to the ground there this is a method behind my madness basically what I want to do is work out a rough idea of what we're calling the coefficient of friction and that is another way of

Rubber, Meet Road PIPE Man...

 the stuff you've forgotten for example factoring quadratics with leading coefficient greater than one okay this stuff is also really easy to relearn provided that you have a really strong grounding in reasoning math reasoning we'll call it the the application of math processes to the world around us this is hard to teach

Math class needs a...

 feet so it's pitch-black we're going in a world that's absolutely eternally dark so you can't see very far and you're and we were doing it within a submarine which was silly because we spent most of our time in an elevator because the the coefficient of drag has an exponential function in it so you can't increase

Exploring the Edge of...

 and yet they have the same income inequality number measured as a Gini coefficient. I think those are the debates we should have, because it's not clear at all what model we should be adopting, and I think there needs to be much more discourse and much more humility about what we know and what we don't know.

Economic growth has...

 For example, factoring quadratics with leading coefficients greater than one. This stuff is also really easy to relearn, provided you have a really strong grounding in reasoning. Math reasoning -- we'll call it the application of math processes to the world around us -- this is hard to teach.

 In fact, we applied a lot of rocket design techniques to make the car light despite having a very large battery pack. And then it also has the lowest drag coefficient of any car of its size. So as a result, the energy usage is very low, and it has the most advanced battery pack,

The mind behind Tesla,...

 The strange, white substance that formed inside his lab canister was chemically inert, meaning it wouldn't react with other substances. It also had an extremely low coefficient of friction, making other materials slide right off it.

Why doesn’t anything...

 Now, do that again and again. Keep going and you'll wind up with something like this, though really Pascal's Triangle goes on infinitely. Now, each row corresponds to what's called the coefficients of a binomial expansion

The mathematical secrets...

 And I tried to explain something about what was on the page. It was to do with the nucleus and Einstein A and B coefficients. And Nana looked very impressed. And then she said, "Oh. What can you do when you know that?"

The fascinating physics...

 OK, this is the principle behind it where a is the coefficient. Let's move on.
