Re: find the maximumHi tony123; In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. #3 2011-04-04 14:18:55
Re: find the maximumUpdate to the above problem at the request of gAr to see my solution. Using Lagrangian multipliers: Adding the constraint ( 2 ) to the above equations: Solving the simultaneous set of non linear equations: Using b as a free parameter we can generate my original solution and all the rotations. Of course a is generated using ac = bd. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
