Re: Limits of x+sqrt(x^2+2x)

Hi White_Owl;

Mathematics is the most creative science there is. In order to be one of the great ones you have be more imaginative than an artist or a poet. That is why there are so few of them.

But just between you and I, I hate that move. It is artificial and ugly. I would look for something else...

Hi anonimnystefy;

You did not do well in Serbian? Serbian what?

Re: Limits of x+sqrt(x^2+2x)

It is like English for British students. We do mostly Serbian literature.There should be a little grammar, too, but our professor won't do grammar with us. She doesn't think it is necessary to repeat everything from elementary school.

Hi;

I see. I remember that type well.

It might be needless to say that I like grammar more than literature, and that I am better at it.
