chooipian, those are more or less the same, but you have a couple that I forgot so I will add them.
16. We are not here to spoon-feed you. Please, before asking a fairly obvious question, search it on some search engine. It is very likely that you will get an answer much quicker than asking here.
17. Do not spam - reposting questions, posting junk etc all constitute as spam.
18. Make all attempts to ensure that your post is credible and correct. Support all speculative/not obvious information in your post with valid sources (peer reviewed journals or textbooks constitute as valid sources).
I agree that these rules may be stern, but as bobbym said, it depends on how you enforce it. The point of these rules is to prevent any banned member from complaining that we banned them for something not on the rules. How you enforce them is up to the staff. Some leniency is expected.
We need more dark backgrounds! I use Cobalt because that's the only one.
Can you please show what you have tried?
Chooipian, your answer is right.

They really are nice lectures. I think they were the ones from which I first learned linear algebra.
To John E. Franklin
Quote:" If you take an algebra-thin line for the frame and make it thicker by any normal constant not near infinity, but closer to zero, then the frame's hole will be the same as the area of the paper since the frame itself has no area.
Zero width of a frame is just a reference to a rectangle that doesn't have any particles in its makeup. Waves? I don't know. It's just an idea of a rectangular frame, not a real paper one. "A.R.B

Too lazy to write it out in an alternate way? By the way, do you know if there is a name for that?
Looks like a date.
52^3 = 140608
Hmm?
56^3 = 175616
Okay. I agree with you on 4, but note that all these rules are not to be enforced word by word. Some leniency is assumed - especially on such a nice forum.
As for 5, I am sure you do not want a user bumping his thread 10 times a day.
As for 14, I just wrote that in case it ever is needed. Such things do happen on forums.
I don't need your opinion, you idiot.
That would happen without rule 6.
Right now, bumping is not allowed at all. 24 hours is good.
By rule 14, I mean: solve this and you get $10.
For rule 15, it says for personal gain. If it's a math site or anything, that's not for personal gain.
I think they're pretty good but not too strict and fairly obvious.
These are better than the current rules because there is a lot missing from the current ones. This way, not one can come and complain that he got banned for doing something but that wasn't in the rules.
That does not involve that polynomial?
I am not sure you can't use it to make the problem simpler, but you can solve it without that.

Homework
1. Post in the "Help me" section.
2. State the problem as it was written exactly.
3. Please show some attempt on the question (say what you tried, even if it was wrong).
4. State your educational background (e.g. high school, university etc) so you do not get too simplified or difficult answers.
One typical use is the problem of the railroad track.
Use of what?
That does not involve that polynomial?
I recall them coming up in a talk with a professor some time back and he mentioned they cover it in some graduate level course. I don't remember the details though.
A very good tutorial for Taylor Series is http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/ … eries.aspx
or http://www.sosmath.com/calculus/tayser/ … ser01.html or http://www.math.hmc.edu/calculus/tutorials/taylors_thm/
We don't here about osculating polynomials until graduate courses.
I think the forum is fine as it is though. Not too many people double/triple post, so it is not a big issue.
Maybe there is some software for that.
A workaround could be edit notifications, so edited posts count at New posts.
