    20-Year-Old Seeking Guidance on Math Grad Studies

    Why does the name of the university matter? What matters is the knowledge that enters your brain, you need to stop caring what other people think and start caring about numero uno. Rich kids who fail entrance exams then get silver spooned into oxbridge anyway through daddy's money will be...

    Confusion over notation for finding limits

    I have to use proper notation to show I understand that as x approaches infinity, (1/x) reaches 0, therefore as x approaches infinity, (1/x) + 1 approaches 0 + 1. If you were to divide up an apple infinite times you would end up with infinitely small shares which might as well be 0 unless you...

    Confusion over notation for finding limits

    I was trying to explain I wanted to know how to present a handwritten answer, I suppose I should just ask how to properly present the working and answers to these questions, the 2 questions are... 1: Find the limit of y = (\frac{1}{2})^x as x approaches infinity 2: Find the limit of y =...

    Confusion over notation for finding limits

    I don't know how to properly present my answer to find the limit of a converging sequence like (1/2)^n. I would just write something like this... y=1/x+1, x=∞ } y=1/∞+1=0+1=1 but the syllabus gives something completely different and my textbooks don't seem to cover this portion of the...

    Finding the area between two curves

    Sorry, I read somewhere that I should read through the forum for similar questions before posting. Thanks, I intend to leave no stone unturned in coming to understand every technical detail in A-level mathematics, I have covered "pure 1" so far and I will ask a bunch of well presented questions...

    Finding the area between two curves

    I have a question about how to present your solution to questions like this, my question is trivial so I'll post here first and if no one answers I will post a new thread. After finding the intercept points between the 2 functions, the equation you need to solve looks something like this...
