The x0 in Line 11 needs to have a semi-colon after it. This will then return the Eulerpoints matrix as a variable and the [n xn yn] print out that you call for, but you will no longer have the output you were concerned with. Here is the fixed code (using the CODE wrap that we have here on...

Welcome to PF! What have you tried so far? What does your matrix (or matrices) look like? Please provide some of these details so that we can help you in ways other than saying "Check the documentation". Ben

Hello PF friends! Earlier this week a friend of mine (both of us are in the same mathematics department) posed an encryption mapping to me and I have thus far not been able to solve it. Here's the map of the k+1 layer: \lambda_n^{k+1} = (\sum_{i=1}^{n} \lambda_i^{k})\; mod\; 27, where...

I notice this was your first post, so hello and welcome to PF! Now, I know you are anxious to prove this statement, but first I propose you think about a few questions. First, since there are n < \infty, what would the best possible layout for those n blocks be--grouped, spread out...

I have read your paper, but I am a bit perplexed by the last line: 'You will notice that no matter what the X and Y sequences are n-n2.' What do you mean by this? If you mean that the sequences are of length n - n2, then this is not true as n = n2 = 3 in your example. I am always...

Is this homework help or general inquiry? If homework help, what progress have you made before we answer? If simply general inquiry, I'll be more than happy to jump right in!

ok, been playing with it some...what equations have you used to yield what results (screens/eq's)? I'm thinking that if we analyze plot outputs under certain observed conditions, we can work backwards from a desired result to an equation - based on the ones we already have.

scratch that, yielded unfavorable results.

haven't really tried yet, but what about letting a = (b-1) and c = (b+1)? I'll try that method, but know most of my doings in number theoretic result in the progression of digits corresponding to a core digit.

i use maple a lot too, what parametric equations are you using? It's winter break and I wouldn't mind a fun thing to work on this month.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_(physics)" The first part of this article is very exact in the explanation that light waves will reflect off of every surface they come in contact with; however, unless a surface is perfectly or nearly perfectly reflective, the light waves will return...
