Re: The Rule of Signs
Hi MathsisFun;
So far, so good. The Descartes rule of signs is neat. Can ya give the inventor a mention? He was such a genius.
No one seems to use this in practice anymore. That's a shame, because it is so powerful and so simple.
Well done!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
