Hey everyone and Daniel, Have ya heard of 'mathematical tripos' in cambridge. I aspire to join or compete for the course. PS, i have a computers background. So...
Just found a sequence for n=11. It follows the pattern I gave in the previous mail so also yields an immediate sequence for n=12. Dunno whether this (and its...

Hi, I just joined the discussion group. I'm looking for some recommendations on math problem solving questions books or series of books or other publications...
You might appreciate this one then, but actually all of William Duham's books are great: Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics by William...
Here's two math problems that were given to my sixth grade class in 1062 or 1963. To solve them correctly really requires a college education. Problem 1 ...
The first is well known. The first domino may be placed with 1/2 of it over the edge. After that, the n'th domino can be placed with 1/(n+1)'th of it's...
Good afternoon, all! A few days ago I posted a series/sequence of numbers that has me stumped. Are there any takers on it, or are we all equally challenged...
In a message dated 8/3/2005 1:48:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... How did you come across them? Is there any context behind them? stevo [Non-text portions of...
Are there any algorithms to construct functions that are only 'n' times differentiable , n being a natural number. One of my friends told me that Brownian...
I would like to run my thoughts to experts here. I'm no mathematician and the last time I dabbled in serious math was when I was in school, but I'm really...
luck and skill have nothing to do with it. bookmakers odds are based solely on what their customers bet. To see how this work, start with the simplest case -...
... we all ... on ... Yeah, as stevo indicates, an answer may depend upon the context of the situation in which the problem was presented. There is a solution...
Do you know for sure that the sequence was created by a polynomial function? The way it goes from 1 to 12 then 1 up again then down then up...the generating...
Only Derek might know. It could be polynominal in which case the solution is simple. Then again, it could be some sort of sine or cosine function, or a...
It was on a contest on another website. There is no context. It is contest 31 on the www.mathwizz.com website. Derek [Non-text portions of this message have...
In a message dated 8/4/2005 5:53:53 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... I would say that *is* the context. stevo [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... It sounds like you're saying that once your bet is placed, the odds of your bet are not necessarily known - not until all bets are placed. Is that really...
not knowing a lot about how bookies do it, if you look at what i posted, the probabilities actually become irrelevant in the maximization problem. the ratio...
... In every context I've seen, Brownian motion is continuous but *nowhere* differentiable. Integrating (antidifferentiating) such a function n times would be...
... "Yes" to both, though you'd have to tune a trig formula carefully to get so many integer values. Again, *every* sequence of n numbers is the set of values ...
... Good-natured reply: This isn't just "the media", but a claim made by a technology expert (Garfinkel) quoting the patent holder (Schlafly). On his own blog,...
Oh, so when you said every, you were talking about every. Sorry about that. I do appreciate your explanation. However, a computer program could be generating...
