Re: Find the general term!!!

Why? Can you show me an example or a proof?

Re: Find the general term!!!

The fact is you have already seen a couple of examples. You just have not yet understood what you saw.


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.

Re: Find the general term!!!

Can you show me one again?

Is it about numerical stability?

Re: Find the general term!!!

When you are ready to accept it we will continue with that one. After all, it is the best example of itself. Bafflers is where the answers are.

Re: Find the general term!!!

If I accept it you will explain it to me? Okay.Sure.3**2-2**2<>(3-2)(3+2). Everybody knows that.

Re: Find the general term!!!

But,by what you propose,it is not. That's confusing me.

Re: Find the general term!!!

But why do you say that

a**2-b**2<>(a-b)(a+b)

if it is contradictory to the identity you just wrote above.

Re: Find the general term!!!

That is correct. In computational mathematics that is not an identity, in ordinary algebra it is.

Sometimes it has to do with numerical stability and sometimes it does not.

Re: Find the general term!!!

That was first investigated by John Von Neumann. He could not answer it fully and neither can I. Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms like that so called identity.

Incidentally, that integral, Wolfram does not know how to do it either.

WA didn't calculate the antiderivative. It evaluated it.

Nope, the last time I used mathematica on it the darn package did not get more than a few digits right!

How do you know what the digits are?

Re: Find the general term!!!

That too is done differently in numerical work than in ordinary math. We verify precision not with mathematical proof but by the double digit method or digit agreement between 2 different methods.

Re: Find the general term!!!

But then to solve a problem like that one you would need ti find 2 methods. That's even harder.

Re: Find the general term!!!

Who said it was easy and who says it has to be easy. That is another fallacy drummed into students and teachers. They mistakenly believe all problems are solvable in a couple of minutes and a couple of theorems. Just because all the textbook problems are like that. The truth is real world problem are usually not solvable.

#7)Find the generating function and general term (if they exist) of the sequence:

0

With the obvious increasin pattern +1,+2,+1,+2...
