Re: Equation
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: Equation
I have understood everything quite well,but I don't understand what is the logic for taking the convergents,is there any rule for which convergent will be the solution?

Re: Equation
There is a theorem that says that. This is not something I just cooked up, I wished I had.

Re: Equation
So I have find the convergent by trial and error
