Don't bother with LEDs. Get some cathode tubes instead. Costs you about a fiver from eBuyer and they come with molex connectors for easy fitting.

Only problem is when you put the wires inside, and there's nowhere to hide the damn things

(also moved to mathematics forum because this is where it belongs )

That statement isn't impossible, it just implies x is negative. Also, I'm not sure whether you can solve the equation analytically - looks like a transdental equation to me.

Seems a lot better than the original, especially the explore mode. I'm going to attempt to complete it tonight whilst my girlfriend's out at work The major problem with the first one was it just got extorionately tedious after about 40 races or so. At least with this one you have to use your brain a bit and get around by yourself.

I've decided to write my essay (see the other thread that's hanging around somewhere or other) on the gamma function and Euler's constant. However, I am have much difficulty in finding applications of these concepts anywhere else in mathematics other than pretty abstract stuff. If anyone knows any good books/articles/journals that I can have a look at, it would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Another way of solving systems of linear equations (if you're interested), is to write them in terms of a matrix, and then perform Gaussian elimination on the matrix to get your result.

Epsilon-delta is used to define things, they don't really constitute a theorem.

I'm not familiar with that particular theorem. Can you at least state it so I can attempt to prove it?

And also why many degree courses give a BA instead of a BSc.

Yeah, great. I am starting to get rather annoyed at the entire "all of the fundamental definitions/axioms in mathematics are wrong, and I am right" kind of thing that you've got going on here. Not only is the epsilon/delta argument a very, very good definition, but the limit concept is widely accepted the vast majority of the mathematical community. If you want to go off and create your own little world to live in, go for it; nobody's going to stop you. However, if you want to come on here and tell us we're all wrong, then you'd better bring some serious arguments with you. What you've written above is quite simply a load of unintelligable rubbish. Thread closed (unless anyone has any extreme problems with this).

Another idea that occurred might be to use Fourier transforms, but similarly to the other problem, I don't know whether that would help any (because f is just an arbitrary function).

Just use a UK proxy to get around it. Nice page though

If you think you're prepared for it, then do it. If you think you'll end up getting a B or a C because you're not completely ready for it then don't bother.

I'd say Mac myself, but I'm a bit biased. I *think* you can get most of the scientific software for Mac these days, but I could be wrong. Have a look at what software you're going to need it for before you buy one though.

Yeah, they seem to be piling the work on atm, completely snowed under with all the assignments that are due in

I have a good book on my shelf called "The Book of Nothing" by John Barrow. It's rather good, and is all about the number 0 from a more popular mathematics kind of aspect.

I know it's a long shot, but the first thing that springs to mind is a Taylor expansion of cos? Might be worth a shot, although looking at it, it might not do any good.

Yeah, it's all pretty interesting stuff. We've just moved onto Fourier series, so expect the same kind of thing.
