bloodhound Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 does anyone know what that constant is ? 2.71828. i dont get the point of writing sqrt (x^2) when x would just be sufficient. unless he wanted to introduce symmetry. i dont get the (1/y)^-1, when just y would be enough.

5614 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 well if you look at it like that he could have just written it out! its meant to be hard! one sec, bloodhound... do you not know what 2.71828 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 just outta interest does anyone else get it? and blike, did you understand it yourself??? just because you're doing some kinda microbiology, so i wouldnt have thought you would have.

Silencer Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I get the first line, and from that I can only assume what the second should be. It is pretty neat though. edit: nevermind, I get the second line now, the x was throwing me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Good one. only the mathematicians will get itYou don't need more than high school math to get it. the H2O was probably the most significant hintYou're kidding, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 That is good. And it's my wish to all of you brainy-types out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 You're kidding, right? got me to thinking about the nature of the writing. since it was in a jovial christmas-ish tone, it prepared my brain to think of such a topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSX Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 What's the point of the H2O? ho ho ho? Or is it because Santa's looking @ the snow? ^o) else: i think it was good, though they should have written 2.71828... actually, they should have written "Limit n->Inf (1 + 1/n)^n" That would've been more fun.

bloodhound Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 lim n tends to inf of (1+1/n)^n is too recognisable... what about lim n tends to inf of (1+1/(n-3))^(n+10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
