The elegant methods employed by the person A is likely through years of experience of struggling through the methods that person B uses. Elegance usually follows from learning from past experiences and recognizing when you can do certain things. That is more often than not why math builds upon...

Hey MHB, I have this rather large and convoluted project that consists of two problems. I have finished the first problem that consisted of 4 parts. I am working through the second part right now. It has a preamble that is kinda important. I will post that as well as the problems that I am...

Thank you very much! That makes quite a bit more sense!

Find the solution of the given initial value problem, and plot its graph. How does the solution behave as \(t\rightarrow\infty\) \(y^{(4)}-4y'''+4y''=0\) My work, which coincidentally I believe is incorrect... From the above differential equation, \(r^4-4r^3+4r^2=0\) \(r^2(r-2)^2=0\)...

Interesting, for some reason I was resistant to start the trial and error process. I suppose I thought I was just missing something. Very cool guys!:D

Albert Einstein wrote the following riddle this century when he was in his prime. He believed 98% of the people would not be able to solve it. Good luck! There are five houses in a row. Each of the five houses is a different color. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The...

Hmm... For a continuous growth rate, would we have? \(\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}(1+\frac{0.75}{n})^{n}\) 1.07788 so r = .07788 perhaps?

A high school mathematics teacher puts \(\$\)2000 into an annuity fund and then contributes \(\$\)1800 per year into the fund for the next 30 years by making small weekly contributions. (We assume weekly contributions are close enough to continuous deposits so that we may use a differential...

Well... My textbook and my Maple Lab Book are two different things. And I can't imagine that they would give you a problem that you don't have all the necessary information in the question. And hence, where some of my confusion of this problem comes from.

Ok, Now... how would I find the surface area of my object? I see nothing that would indicate lengths, widths, heights, or area.

Stupid question... How on Earth do I apply that to the problem, and with the given information?

Yeah, I got those lines. T(0)= 40 My concern is with line 7 of recommended code. And the notated line after (13) in my code.

Maple Diff.Eq. Not really sure where to place this, as it crosses a couple lines. However, much of the confusion arises from the programming. Here is what I have. My code, My problem, My confusion is from what does it mean for Pick correct value for ktemp in the last line of code that I...

And this is yet another example of why I am an engineering major... Sorry for interrupting with a somewhat "useless" post. Carry on.

Thank you guys very much! Makes a lot more sense now!
