2009-10-19 math:

1) If |x-2|<δ, then |2x-4|<ε, ε = 0.01. Looking at |x-2| and |2x-4|, it can be seen that |2x-4| = |2(x-2)|, so the 2nd is twice the 1st. If ε = 0.01, δ is the is half of ε

2009-10-15 mobius inversion:

g(n) = summation (over d|n) (mew(d)f(n|d)); show f(n) summartion(over d|n) of g(d) questions: what is the mobius function? Suppose n is 10; does this mean that d is taken as 1, 2, 5, and 10?

2009-10-08 theory used to estimate pumkin seeds:

No, I don't know what the thing to look at would be. Maybe you could use how far the rabbit runs in a day. Maybe it could be how long each one stays in the barn. Those both sound like good approaches

2009-10-07 One more question, advanced calculus:

For xn->a, for n=k large enough, this means that for n>=k, all |xn - a| < ε for any ε however close to 0. At this point, 1/x is between 1/(x-ε) and 1/(x+ε). Take |1/(x-ε

2009-10-07 proof, advanced calculus:

It almost looked like |xn| was the absolute value of |xn|, but this can easily be disproved. What is really meant, I belive is the function of the limit as n-> ∞ of the terms is the same as
