I'm also looking into undergrad programs in Ontario and was just wondering what you guys have to say about the University of Guelph.

I can tell that I made a false asumption when I got the answer 412 999 999 921, I was trying to find a pattern by adding the digits of opposing numbers, and made a false assumption based on the first few answers and jumped to conclusions. I'm curious as to how you got the 4.05 in your calculation.

I tried it out by adding the digits of the integers on opposing sides of 1 and a billion and got a final answer of 412 999 999 921. I'm not sure if this is anywhere near the right answer though.

Homework Statement Find the sum of all the digits in the integers from 1 to 1 000 000 000. Ex: 2378:2+3+7+8=20 Homework Equations We're not supposed to use equations for the sum of a series. The Attempt at a Solution I really don't have much of a clue as to how to start, so...

All right, I appreciate all your help and suggestions, thanks a bunch.

Hi, I'm a Grade 11 student in Canada who wants to go on to study Physics in university. I was just wondering, because I realized I know nothing about programming, is it assumed that I should have any sort of background? If so, what would be useful things to teach myself?
