I've always been intimidated by this. I'm quite positive I couldn't regenerate the Pythagorian Theorem, but I know that I should be able to. I certainly wouldn't be able to figure out basic calculus on my own. I wish that I could, but I know that I wouldn't be able to. Are there any things we've learned from mathematicians in the past that make figuring out such things easier? Anything I can learn to make learning easier?
The Pythagorean Theorem is just a special case of the magnitude of a vector, aka the Euclidean Norm. Though, I wouldn't be able to derive that if that were deleted from my brain.
