lol. how did i miss that, anyways do we learn this in uniyep, u can do it like that, but the more obvious way i thought was to say
well done.

Not really, but you encounter a similar sort of thing in MATH1251. Bounded from above and increasing or bounded from below and decreasing will always converge. sqrt(1+sqrt(1+sqrt(1+...))) is an alternative representation.lol. how did i miss that, anyways do we learn this in uni
I liked the telescoping series in first year. Interesting stuffNot really, but you encounter a similar sort of thing in MATH1251. Bounded from above and increasing or bounded from below and decreasing will always converge. sqrt(1+sqrt(1+sqrt(1+...))) is an alternative representation.
I learnt a bit of continued fractions in one of my courses (MATH2400 finite maths UNSW), probably got taught it for 2 hours in the entire sem though.lol. how did i miss that, anyways do we learn this in uni
yeah, i think so, he used it to have crazy approximations for some numbers.The Indian maths genius Ramanujan was an expert in continued fractions if my memory serves me correctly
Tragically he died young - at 32.yeah, i think so, he used it to have crazy approximations for some numbers.
Likewise, although we didn't learn too much about it.I liked the telescoping series in first year. Interesting stuff
Newtons law of cooling, greater temperature differential, the faster it cools. So whoever keeps the coffee hotter the longest will end up with the cooler coffee at the end.Wendy and Kent make coffee, Wendy pours in milk immediately then waits for it to cool, Kent waits for it to cool then adds milk. Whose coffee will be cooler after the same amount of time? Support your answer mathematically.
