No, but I'm starting to learn it. It's really hard without the layout in front of me.
Has anyone here tried typing in Dvorak? What do you think about it?
Happy anniversary and congrats!
I think there is a far more important question. Do you like transparent soap?
Yeah, it's the classic proof of irrationality. ![]()
Of course, that proof needs a bit more work to be an actual proof, such as explaining what exactly was done there and the discussion of the a=b case.
The second one is a bit more straightforward.
Meant it the other way round. It's always irrational.
Proof for b):
b) When a=b.
You should try to prove this by assuming it's incorrect, i.e. that a and b are different and
is rational.Reminds me of:

Yes, it does.
Hmmm...
I don't think 1 is correct. Have you tried to plot it. It's wild.
I don't think it exists.
Where did he not allow the squeeze theorem?
You can divide both the denominator and the numerator by x, then use the known limits of sin(x)/x and tan(x)/x.
Also, A\B can be used to mean A-B.
Hi MIF
Not sure if that's the general case, but I've seen the bolded "I" be used mostly for irrational numbers.
I heard it was used a long time ago by the primitive native tribes of San Serriffe.
Supremum.
Yep. Here's another interesting one:
Does continuity of a function f on [a,b] guarantee continuity of the function g(x)=sup{f(t)|a≤t≤x} on [a,b]? What about differentiability?
It can, why do you think it can't?
Well, it certainly does exist.
Think of it this way: If you take any number that's a period, there is a number smaller than that one that's also a period.
It is, but can you find such a function?
