    An elegant proof of Euler's identity!

    There's a fundamental flaw to this question. Remember you don't have a definition for e^z where z is complex. Which means that you will either need an explicit defintion for e^z to define the derivative or you can define exp(z) to be a function such that d/dz exp(z) = exp(z) The first...

    An elegant proof of Euler's identity!

    same problem.. and you don't even have a definition for e^z where z is complex

    Best course for programming?

    Computer science course at a reputable univeristy picking hardcore subjects + have your own projects. Doubling up with mathematics is probably useful too given that modern games usually requires some maths to work out the graphics and physics

    Treasury bonds?

    Banks pay higher interest on their online accounts.. not much reason for a private individual to buy government bonds prices(yields) are published.

    polynomials

    1. substitute 1 into the polynomial and it's derivative, you get a + b + 1 = 0, (n+1)a + nb = 0, etc. 2.i. 0 obviously doesn't work.. and if you test 1 or -1, the given condition will rule them out. ii.substitute 1/a into the polynomial then multiply through by a^4 iii. Will leave you this...

    You don't need to solve for Q in this question.

    Actuarial Studies - right path for me?

    Another problem with many degree programs is that they spend alot of time justifying their existence and professing their importance.

    Actuarial Studies - right path for me?

    1.) almost no maths compared to engineering or maths or physics. 2.) Remuneration.. well its not bad.. not very high either.. normal job.

    Vectors in complex numbers

    there are 6 possibilities q = ip q = -ip q = (1+i)p q = (1-i)p q = p/(1+i) q = p/(1-i)

    moriah college 2001 paper

    you can reduce the amount of calculations by a substitution u = x-3 V = 2\pi\int_1^5 \left( (4-(x-3)^2) + \sqrt{4 - (x-3)^2} \right) x \, dx\\ =2\pi\int_{-2}^2 \left( (4-u^2) + \sqrt{4 - u^2} \right) (u+3) \, du \\ = 2\pi\left( \int_{-2}^2 u\left( (4-u^2) + \sqrt{4 - u^2} \right) \, du +...

    Matrices

    If I remember correctly, the matrices which satisfy A^2 = A^-1 are precisely the ones which are diagonalizable with eigen values which are cube roots of unity

    Really Hard Reduction Question

    you can transform it to \sqrt{a}\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{n+1} \int_0^1 x^n (1-x)^{1/2}\, dx Then you look up the beta function on wikipedia, then the gamma function comes out as something ugly like \sqrt{a}\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{n+1} \frac{3n!(n+1)!2^{2n+1}}{(2n+3)!}

    Working with three variables

    This does not work unless you know more about Q. You are essentially assuming that Q = f(a,b,c) = f(a,b,1-a-b) = g(a+b) for some function g. In many cases this is false so you are forced to test Q for (a,b) ranging over a grid of points in a triangle in [0,1]x[0,1] (a+b<1) So again you are...

    Working with three variables

    You need to know something about Q to answer that.. not the formula, but atleast some properties of Q.. is it smooth for example... If you know nothing about Q then you can't deduce anything... even in the 2 variable case, because you could try 0.1,0.9;0.2;0.8 ... but Q can have a spike at...
