Meh.
Just developing simple programs. I mainly program websites nowadays so...
Haha. I was laughing, but I am handicapped.
Why thank-you. I don't use Java to make applets so...
....That's not nice
** meaning he, or rather the teacher.
Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.
The following problem can be solved either the easy way or the hard way.
Two trains 200 miles apart are moving toward each other; each one is going at a speed of 50 miles per hour. A fly starting on the front of one of them flies back and forth between them at a rate of 75 miles per hour. It does this until the trains collide and crush the fly to death. What is the total distance the fly has flown?
The fly actually hits each train an infinite number of times before it gets crushed, and one could solve the problem the hard way with pencil and paper by summing an infinite series of distances. The easy way is as follows: Since the trains are 200 miles apart and each train is going 50 miles an hour, it takes 2 hours for the trains to collide. Therefore the fly was flying for two hours. Since the fly was flying at a rate of 75 miles per hour, the fly must have flown 150 miles. That's all there is to it.
When this problem was posed to John von Neumann, he immediately replied, "150 miles."
"It is very strange," said the poser, "but nearly everyone tries to sum the infinite series."
"What do you mean, strange?" asked Von Neumann. "That's how I did it!"
In his lecture, ** formulated a theorem and said: "The proof is obvious". Then he thought for a minute, left the lecture room, returned after 15 minutes and happily concluded: "Indeed, it is obvious!"
Hi. Forgot to say hello before.
Wait, was my last answer correct?
Limits are weird. Alas, now no one can change the notation from:
lim f(x) = b to lim f(x) = ->b
x->a x->a
Nice puzzles. Love broken sticks.
What languages do you guys code in? As for me: BASIC, JB(Just Basic), RB (RunBasic), VB (Visual Basic), COBOL, FoxPro, Liberty Basic (LB), Python, C#, C, C++ and Java. That was compiler and IDE based. As for web: HTML (no duh!), CSS (no duh x2! (not factorial)), PHP, ASP.net, JS, Ajax and Flash. I am fluent in most so...
Hello everyone. Anyone here familiar with the rusty language BASIC? Well, from that, I discovered a language called JustBasic (often abbreviated as JB). It's only 3 MB so... Anyways, I managed to code a very good compression system which compresses large strings in 3.4 seconds! I don't know if you guys are interested in testing it....
Supposedly, but Leibniz seems to have a head start on Integral Calc before Newton.
The old person could be a Genius (with a capital) and have a higher intellect then Mozart. Then he could have properly used that gifted knowledge to communicate with ET.
Infinity, even if you said that, I would agree with you. As of now, our world is leading towards annihilation. The Iron Age, as the Greek's imply.
Hello; Welcome to the forum!
The jokes used to be fun, but no one posts anymore. Anyways, use the hyperlink tags when posting links.
No one there at Yale likes me. I am the handicapped kid using a walker sitting in the corner reading about stem cell research. Literally.
167. b) 42
I was taught adding variables in grade 4 and it seemed fairly easy. I was told that as long as the literal coefficients are the same, I can simply add and/or multiply the numerical coefficients depending on the operator.
Haha. I like posting every 15 questions.
Oh, my apologies. dy/dx = 2x + a so...
Eureka again. More discoveries then Archimedes.
a=-3 and b=-6
