### Some sums

Hi;

When you get them, please use the hide button.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
I have the result, but I do not yet know how to get it.

The eclipses from Algol (an eclipsing binary star) come further apart in time when the Earth is moving away from Algol and closer together in time when the Earth is moving towards Algol, thereby proving that the speed of light is variable and that Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is wrong.

### Re: Some sums

This was the most difficult of the three.
It is interesting that a complicated expression can be summed so simply.

Actually the backslash (\) should be a forward slash (/)

The 'hide' feature, and some others, are covered here.

You can also find out how someone did something or other just by clicking the "Quote" tab in the bottom right-hand corner of their post...but you must be logged in to see that tab.

I think you are going to pull a math muscle. That can be painful. Do not forget to stretch before you do any more of them. Drink plenty of liquids too.

Hi bobbym,

For me, math is relaxing. I drink plenty of water, weather is very hot here!

The nearest thing was a report from the old Soviet Union. They used to believe in "overexertion of brain cells."
