good joke Goodrich :)

the french did use to play cricket at the turn of last century. but the britishers beat them so soundly that they lost their apetite. now yard is their excuse to avoid defeat :D

no. it is a nonrepeating real number and and the expression you wrote is the exact one. most of the (algebraic) numbers are like that only.

i am not sure what you mean by Shyma. is it the name of a person supposedly known to me ? in that case perhaps you identified me wrongly. thermal equilibrium is a state of constant tempreature and thermodynamic equilibrium. in this state there is no interchange of matter or energy that happens...

then it is not a quadrilateral ... the diagram doesn't work out properly

since you are saying 'pulses', it would be prudent to have a safety margin ... what exactly do you mean by pulses per six seconds. is it a discharge or flash of some kind ?

the ordering doesn't work out quite correct. is it BCED or BEDC ?

how can an observer measure something in another frame ? his worldview is his frame.

as they say .. nobody does hunting no more ! by 'use' i meant pure economic use. 'general companionship' does not count. anyway the question is complicated ... pigs were also one of the first to be domesticated. nobody fusses over them. for example i am sure you won't find this beautiful - your...

who said polynomials are injective ? g maps {set of all polynomials} to {set of all polynomials}. you r supposed to prove that g is injective not elements of {set of all polynomials}. and what is this supposed to mean (along with whatever you wrote) -- g(x) => =0 = g(y) => 0

which animals are considered adorable also changes with culture, technology and place. a bear in 2nd century AD in russia wud be a great existential threat to humans ans nobody dare consider them cute. in fact they wud be demonised if at all. an elephant in 30,000 BC africa wud also be a...

let me put it in new words but same in spirit to born2bwire suppose you want to check the value of (t+\Delta t)(s+ \Delta s). you expand this as (t.s + s.\Delta t + t.\Delta s + \Delta t .\Delta s). now what you should take depends upon how closely you want to approximate. 1. suppose you want...

first order means that the small number is present as dt. if it is present as a multiple of two small numbers as in dt.ds (or any other thing) it is called second order. second order approximations are even finer and when you are solving problems only crudely, you should ignore all second order...

so the problem doesn't ask you to determine whether it is BCC or FCC. you just assume it is FCC (or BCC) and compute the above four small problems. and then you compare your answer to the actual measured value and try to guess what is the actual structure. now do you need help in computing...

g is defined ... what r u identifying ? g is injective iff g(p) = 0 => p =0. which is the same as your definition in this case (why ?) > I'm not sure what you mean by "any polynomial cannot be zero in the whole of (0,1) " it means that only zero polynomial (one which is identically zero) can...
