The question is this: If a Client has a certain amount of capital (let’s assume 100) and wants to to pay someone (the Agent) to complete a task, how much should the Client offer up front and how much should be left for after the completion of the project? We’ll make the simplifying assumption that the Client has 100 discrete units of currency, a ( Read more... )

I would like to simulate the chaotic flow along the geodesics of a compact Riemann Surface of constant positive negative curvature (cf. Hadamard Billard). However, I could not find out how to represent the manifold numerically. Any ideas?

Assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis, how many functions are there from R^n to R?

Is it correct that there are |R|^{|R^n|}=|R|^{|R|}= \aleph_2?

Let X be the space of functions from R -> R ( Read more... )

I have two questions:

1. Find a bijective conformal mapping from G={z in C : |z|<2 and |z-1|>1} onto the open unit disc D.

I'm not really sure where to begin. This set G is more complicated than any of the examples we have of this sort of process; all of our examples have been simply connected.

2. Show that f(z)=(z2 - 1)/(z2 + 1) is a bijective ( Read more... )

Trying to teach myself the black art, I attempted to convolute (convolve?) t2 and et.

I get 2et - t2 - 2t - 2.

Have I got it right, or do I need to go bash my head against the brick walls of algebra and integration-by-parts again?

Anyone know how to put long proofs in Beamer onto two or more frames (since it won't fit onto one)? allowframebreaks along with \framebreak or \break doesn't seem to work, and I can't find anything online to help.

This semester I have several students whose first language is Spanish, and one has obviously taken some calculus before.  Today we started talking about limits, and he used the terminology "the limit as x equals a of f(x)" and said that was the terminology used in Spanish.  Can someone comment on the Spanish terminology for this, and how it ( Read more... )
