    limits

    probably Slide Rule has made the point but Im too lazy to read it.. It can be shown by the wonder of mathematics that sin(x)<= x <= tan(x), x in radians It can also be shown that for small x, i.e. as x->0, sin(x) == x == tan(x) where == is approximate equal to Hence, lim sin(x)/x...

    help please! (complex numbers)

    u dont really need induction for that. just say, "it follows that |z_1 z_2 ... z_n| = |z_1| + |z_2| + ... + |z_n|, and when z_1=z_2=...=z_n, |z^n|=|z|^n" and for the argument, find z*z and you'll see that arg(z*z)=2arg(z) then it follows that..... Also if u find z*z then u have also...
