Re: Bafflers?
I would just stick it into the formula I get when I solve the recursion.
The fun way by me is the solving recursion one.maybe there's been a misunderstanding.

Re: Bafflers?
Solving the recursion is fun. Getting it, is more fun.
Now, the important question. Since you knew enough math to solve the problem why did you need help?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Hi bobbym
I couldn't get the numbers right.

Re: Bafflers?
I think I am.When can we expect the next problem?
Btw, these are more fun when I actually know how to solve them.

Re: Bafflers?
You are not thinking competitively. Here is a good rule of thumb. If ole m did the problem how tough can it be?

Hi bobbym
If I understood you correctly than your reasoning isn't correct.You can solve much harder problems than I can.

Re: Bafflers?
Yes, to that I agree, but that's just the general case.It doesn't apply to mathematics.

Re: Bafflers?
Yes, but you use terms that have no definition in mathematics. What is a harder problem? What is an easy one?

They use more complex mathematic tools.

Re: Bafflers?
Men put ratings on things like more complex. They are often wrong. Math is the last field where a person can find his own way. As you should know they teach NCr's to high school students. They teach generating functions to graduate students. It should be the other way around.

Re: Bafflers?
Hi bobbym
That its kinda weird but I would never rate it that way.I mean, it's obvious that adding naturals is less complex than multiplying octonions and sedenions.

Re: Bafflers?
Hi bobbym
I wasn't talking about you personally.It's just that some problems use some things I don't know how to practically use yet. GFs for example.

Re: Bafflers?
You were already taught more than enough to use GF's more effectively than NCr's and NPr's.

Re: Bafflers?
NCr's?
and I don't know how to use them because I don't know how to set up a GF for a given problem.

Re: Bafflers?
Ever seen these?
That is traditional method. Many people can not get it. Others hate it. The GF's are just Taylor series without the mess of proving this or that convergence. They all end up being mere polynomial multiplication.

Re: Bafflers?
Hi bobbym
I've seen them.We study them at school. Most problem are taught to be done using them.
Could you show me an example of an easier problem done using GF's so I get the picture?
