Hi, I think I have the first part of the question correct but can't seem to get the second so any help would be fantastic.

Q: Express \frac{327}{117} as a continued fraction and find the convergents of it.

My working:
\frac{327}{117}=2 +\frac{93}{117} =2+\frac{1}{\frac{117}{93}}

\frac{117}{93}=1 + \frac{24}{93} =1+\frac{1}{\frac{93}{24}}

I continue like this to finally get:

\frac{327}{117}=2 + \frac{1}{1+ \frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{7}}}}.

I think it is right, but I can't get the second part at all.

Thanks for any help.

Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
