Hello friends, I'm new to this forum, and I joined today to ask the fellow math students (AND OF COURSE THE TEACHERS, IF THERE ARE ANY :smile: )about a book called, Advanced Algebra, it is by Scott, Foresman. I'm looking for this book for the math class at my school, because to be frank, we are missing 17 of these books, and had to borrow some from some schools in our District. And I'm wondering if there are any still in circulation that I can purchase. Here is a list of the authors of the book.

Authors:
Sharon L. Senk
Denisse R. Thompson
Steven S. Viktora
Rheta Rubenstein
Judy Halvorson
James Flanders
Natalie Jakucyn
Gerald Pillsbury
Zalman Usiskin

It was published in the year 1993, I believe, but there were also these dates: 1990 and 1994 Impression. And as for the cover, I would like to describe it, it is a dark blue color, with this illustration on it:

(Description of the cover)-A stroboscopic photograph shows the regularity in the movement of a rotating gyroscope. While the pivot remains stationary, the axis itself revolves outlining a cone.

If anyone could help me out with that, I'd be grateful. Thank you.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
