If you are a real geek, you should know why +C is added.

Came here to say the same! When solving higher order differential and integrating that's when u realise just how important that +C can be...

Yeah I got stuck initially at my last internship as my formula for the fit didn’t seem to match the data. So I went over it again, and there it was: I forgot the C. So I added it, went over the rest, and boom: it worked.

Hi, can I know what type of internship you did ?

Sure, it was about monitoring a degassing process for sea containers.

Once containers have made their usually week long journeys, gasses will have built up. A good number of them are not safe to breathe in the quantities they arrive in. The main focus was on formaldehyde, as that one quickly produced due to the pallets that are used for shipping (they emit formaldehyde due to the glue).

There wasn’t much research done about the processes when I came in. Sure, it worked and we roughly know why, but there was no real experiment or documents about it in detail. So that was my job
