    Finding the center by area of a range of a sine wave

    hey. I used to be quite talented at math, but I've let my talent deteriorate in the ~10 years since my last calculus class. I have a problem which I'm sure I would have devoured easily back in my school days, but am having trouble with now. I am considering two points on a normal (0 to...

    For what range of numbers the iteration x = x^2 -2 does not go to infinity?

    This is a problem related to julia sets but its more of a mathematical problem so I posted it here. x= x^2 - 2 For what values the iteration does not go to infinity. I can't figure out how to calculate that. I tried calculating a nth term of this in terns of initial term but all in vain.

    Fourier transform, range of indices

    hi, could someone explain the following statement, please? Why is the real data only shifted, but the Fourier space data is 'wrapped around'? The only difference should be: exp(k*x*2*i*Pi/N) in reals space vs. exp(-k*x*2*i*Pi/N) in Fourier space. Both have a periodicity of N. So why is there...
