Undergrad Can Division by Zero Be Defined in a More General Number Group?
i think 0-1=x. x is every point on the complex plane, including the infinite and finite in magnitude. and 0/0=0*any number on the complex plane 0/0=0*infinite=finite 0/0=0*infinetsimal=0 0/0=0*finite=0 so 0/0 is every point on the complex plane with a noninfinite magnitude, including zero.- okkvlt

Music Music and mathematics: how are they related?
my main question: is there some mathematical formula that leads to a great song? be it a beat, melody, etc. what is the mathematical difference between dissonance and connosance? we know that listening to classical music at a young age results in high math scores. but why? i have listened to...- okkvlt

Did a Stray Bullet on New Year's Eve Kill a Child at Church in Atlanta?
It is possible. If the gun is pointed straight up, the total magnitude of the velocity vector upon impact will be the terminal velocity. But, seeing as nobody was hanging onto a steeple and shooting up into the air from the top of the church, it is obvious that the gun was not pointed straight...- okkvlt

Do Physicists Drink? - Debating the Risks of Alcohol

Graduate How do i generalize this result to higher dimensions? (arc length, surface area)
a derivation of the formula for arc length is simple enough: given a function f[x], find the length of the arc from x0 to x1. lim(x1-x0)/n=dx n->inf x1 S=^{i=n-1}_{i=0}\sum\sqrt{(x+(i+1)dx-(x+idx))^2+f(x+(i+1)dx)-f(x+dx))^2} xo... -

Graduate How do i find the arc length of an implicit curve given by f[x,y]=0?
in general they would range in complexity. I am writing a program that finds the arc length of a level curve of some function f[x,y]. do you mean every implicit curve has a parametric representation? -

Undergrad Something Interesting I Realized About Integrals
suppose i want to find the following integral: 7 \int[SIZE="5"]x dx 3 now suppose for some demented reason i decided not to do it straightforward and get (49-9)/2=20 instead i use the substitution x=u2+4u+5 giving u1 \int[SIZE="5"](u2+4u+5)(2u+4)du u0 u1 \int[SIZE="5"]2u3+12u2+26u+20 du u0...
