Math Is Fun Forum

There is an identity on Wiki that says that Gamma(z)*Gamma(1-z)=pi/sin(pi*z).

I don't think they are a group under multiplication, because not all the matrices in the set have inverses...

Hi Agnishom

I like the example of a ball on a curved surface.

When the surface is straight, the equilibrium is neutral, because you can move the ball around and it will stay in the place you move it.

When the surface is curved down, the equilibrium is unstable on the highest point of the surface, because if you push the ball just a little bit, it will fall down.

When the surface is curved up, the ball will fall back to the lowest point when you push it, so it's a stable equilibrium.

m and n aren't equal. The fact that they are not allows us to divide by (m-n)...

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Yes, that goes without saying.

Just, out of pure respect, should we be saying the Oracle?

I get the "fungi" all the time when working numerical stuff in M. The fungi part most often appears next to the imaginary number, so the answer appears to be complex, when it is, in fact, real.

I like Nordic languages in general. They just sound very cool!
