Re: Because he asked.

True.

So, what now?

Re: Because he asked.

Do you understand how EM can solve problems of this type?

Can you now do a much harder one?

A side question: Why did I never seek to make shanks functional, thereby increasing its speed?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Because he asked.

Yes, I do.

I will never know until I try.

Re: Because he asked.

There are hundreds of examples at your place that very few can solve but you should be able to now.

Re: Because he asked.

Over at CMI?

I only made it functional because of religious reasons.

Hohoohohoohohooh! That is a good one.

I only made it functional because of religious reasons.

That is not even a good enough reason.

Re: Because he asked.

I like functional stuff.

You did not try to speed it up because of the principle mentioned in "Brute Force and Mathematics". While you'd spend 10 minutes speeding it up, you'd only get a 0.01 second speed up, at best.

Re: Because he asked.

That is also a good but not sufficient reason.

M, already has a command for it!

Re: Because he asked.

I did not know that.

The amount of math and other things stuffed into mathematica is unbelievable.
