Re: Limits!How about a(0)=2, a(1)=-36, a(2)=35? 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. #552 2012-07-05 05:51:37
Re: Limits!The fifth one is 0 again. The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. “It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!” ― Richard Feynman “A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón #553 2012-07-05 20:24:53
Re: Limits!That is not good! 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. #554 2012-07-05 20:37:08
Re: Limits!Of course! I need to find a way of knowing when a sequence getsthe 0 at a point.

Re: Limits!Uhhhh, why not just run the recurrence? In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Limits!Because the zero may be in the googolth place. Maybe it is in the bajilionth place. Maybe it's in the googolplexth place. Or in Graham's numberth place.

Re: Limits!Hmmm. There is no way to tell where that zero or any other number will be. Maybe just in special cases. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
