Ppasmith replied to the thread Undergrad A counterexample to "the integral of the limit is the limit of the integral".A generalization is to fix ##g: [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}## and let $$f_n : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R} : x \mapsto \begin{cases} ng(nx) & x < \frac...

Ppasmith posted the thread Undergrad A counterexample to "the integral of the limit is the limit of the integral" in Calculus.I was going to append this to @chwala's thread here, but thought it deserved a new thread. For ##n \geq 1##, define $$f_n : [0,1] \to...

Ppasmith replied to the thread Undergrad Finding the minimum distance between two curves.One can always resort to the Newton-Raphson method to solve ##\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}) = \nabla L = 0## by iteration, where each step...

Ppasmith replied to the thread Undergrad Finding the minimum distance between two curves.If $$L = (y_1(x_1) - y_2(x_2))^2 + (x_1 - x_2)^2$$ then the partial derivatives are $$\begin{split} \frac{\partial L}{\partial x_1} &=...
