Re: Composite Functions

I think you are right, I am quite a creative and visual person and it does always help
to have good visual definition. I like to be able to see things work.

It does help to see as many different explanations as you can get your hands on. I have
found a lot that I have seen one method and then later found a much more elegant and
efficient way of doing things.

About the same time I got the Stewart book I borrowed a book from my uni library called
'An Introduction to Mathematical Logic' by Gerson B Robison in an attempt to better understand
Predicate Calculus and finding that it lost me about half way down the first page.

I should have another look at that some time.

Re: Composite Functions

Hi Dave;

Haven't seen that book, yet. Usually when that happens I try another book. Or I skip over what is too tough at the moment. Or I go through it even without understanding it. Somethimes it makes sense later.

But that was in the past. Now I can just go to any of 4 forums and ask a question.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Composite Functions

Yes, forums are very cool for those times.

Got my new calculator today, been playing around with that. Also very cool.
