    Prove using de moivre's theorem of I=cos^2n theta

    cos(x) = (exp(ix) + exp(-ix))/2 Take both sides to the power 2n Use the binomial theorem for the right-hand side Integrate

    Is the Alternating Square Series Sum from 1 to 10201 Solvable?

    You're wasting your time: That series does not and cannot converge. How could it? The terms get bigger and bigger. Read up on what it means for an infinite series to converge.

    Does Miskolczi's Paper Refute the Current Math of Greenhouse Effect?

    gdp, - Yes, well the existence of such an integral invariant must be proven or at least motivated, not just claimed. - I am not convinced by McKitrick's arguments. I was heavily involved in a discussion on Parker's work on the UHI effect at ClimateAudit (a site managed by McIntyre, a close...

    Does Miskolczi's Paper Refute the Current Math of Greenhouse Effect?

    gdp, - It's not completely clear that Miskolczi's predictions are really predictions: Someone pointed out that in one presentation, he described as an observation what in this paper he describes as a theoretical prediction. - I'm not terribly familiar with atmospheric temperature data...

    Does Miskolczi's Paper Refute the Current Math of Greenhouse Effect?

    gdp, I think we are in "violent agreement": - I agree that the VT applies in its general form. However, in the calculation of r*F, the intermolecular forces can be reasonably modeled as collisions between point-like molecules, so that the two equal & opposite forces are applied at the same...

    Does Miskolczi's Paper Refute the Current Math of Greenhouse Effect?

    gdp: I half agree with you: 1) Kinetic Energy must include the thermal energy as well as the KE associated with the bulk motion. 2) However, there is a problem in saying that the path of molecule is part of an orbit: The Virial Theorm is a time-average, so it depends on the concept that the...

    Does Miskolczi's Paper Refute the Current Math of Greenhouse Effect?

    I have also been studying Miskolczi's paper, and have gotten through about to page 10 before being stopped by a series of problems and apparent non sequitors, some of which have been mentioned by others.. I have written this up and sent my comments to Dr. Miskolczi, who said he would be...
