My post count is currently a perfect square. - Froge - 07-06-2013 First person to post the root wins 1 rep point. GO! Spoiler below!
And to keep this thread from being locked, discuss math. ^In answer to the question he asks about the lightbulbs, I'd say that when the limit of the interval between switching is 0 the bulb is half on and half off Spoiler below!
RE: My post count is currently a perfect square. - PutraenusAlivius - 07-06-2013 37 is the root [EDIT: After viewing the video, I gotta admit, my mind was really fucked up.] RE: My post count is currently a perfect square. - failedALIAS - 07-07-2013 How do I math?

RE: My post count is currently a perfect square. - Focalize - 07-07-2013 Why so series? btw 1+1-1+1-1+... is limitless. Hence you pick something in the middle i.e. 1/2. Got any complex problems with legitimate arguments? RE: My post count is currently a perfect square. - failedALIAS - 07-07-2013 (07-07-2013, 05:46 AM)Shimeji Wrote: Why so series? WHAT!?

-logarithms return the exponent given log base and a value Spoiler below!
-quadratics (f(x) involving x^2) look like bridges, no, not that Bridge Spoiler below!
-you can divide functions Spoiler below!
-if a function has x in the denominator (called a rational) ya better make sure dat x ain't zero Spoiler below!
-Trig functions look like waves, except tangent 'cuz tangent is a hipster Spoiler below!
-Inverse trig or arc functions return the angle given a trig ratio Spoiler below!
-|x| means absolute value of x and it means x is always positive, so |-3| = 3 Spoiler below!
-x! means x factorial, or multiplying x * (x - 1) * (x - 2) * .... * 3 * 2 * 1 for x > 0 Spoiler below!
-a vector is a direction on a coordinate plane Spoiler below!
-You can multiply vectors to get a scalar product or a vector product Spoiler below!
-A plane is represented by the equation of the vector perpendicular to it and a point on the plane Spoiler below!
-√-1 = i. That means i * i = -1. Spoiler below!
-A complex number is also a vector. Spoiler below!
-The argument (arg) of a complex number is the angle formed by the vector Spoiler below!
-A derivative is a function f'(x) which gives the slope of f(x) given any x Spoiler below!
-An integral is the area beneath a function f(x) from x = a to x = b Spoiler below!
-You can rotate a function f(x) by 2π around an axis to get a volume Spoiler below!
-Sometimes you take an integral from a real number to infinity Spoiler below!
-You can also find the value of a sequence at its infinite term Spoiler below!
-A series is when you sum terms of a sequence, sometimes to infinity Spoiler below!
-You can turn a function into a mclaurin series by using this formula which nobody wants to derive Spoiler below!
-Differential equations relate variables of a function y = f(x) to its derivative Spoiler below!
-You can solve differential equations using a lot of whacked out strategies Spoiler below!
-Binomial expansion: (a + b)^n = a^n + (n!/[(1!)(n - 1)!]) * a^(n - 1) * b + (n!/[(2!)(n - 2)!]) * a^(n - 2) * b^2 + ..... + (n! / (n - 1)!) * a * b^(n - 1) + b^n Spoiler below!
-Probability is the most confusing unit in maths. Spoiler below!
-The probability that ALIAS is alive next year is 98% and the probability that Shimeji is alive next year is 99%. If only one of them turns up alive next year, what is the probability that Shimeji is the one living? Spoiler below!
-If I can win 1/3 of the time against Bridge in chess, what's the chance I've won 5 times after 8 games? Spoiler below!
-Induction is when you have a proposition "P(n)" (like, 7^n - 1 is always divisible by 6) and you want to prove it for n >= 1 Spoiler below!
- ??? Spoiler below!
RE: My post count is currently a perfect square. - CarnivorousJelly - 07-07-2013 Fun fact - they took probability and pascal's triangle out of high school math in Alberta (a province/state/land-mass-with-imaginary-political-borders in Canada) last year :p Even the advanced placement kids (me!) didn't do it. In other words, you taught me something - kind of - well, you gave me the formula for something :D Also, that area under function stuff is definitely calculus. Definitely. Lots of fun. Spoiler below!
