I don't have an answer (at this time anyway) ... but if the number of beads of each color were an odd prime p (so that the total number of beads is 3p), the...
There was no absolutely no maths, and precious little fun contained within it! Merely an unfortunate sending error. With apologies. [Non-text portions of this...
Hello, Can anyone show me a way to calculate " Integral of circle function"with these conditions: x^2+y^2=r^2 Int y=? While: y>0 and x chenges from 0...
In a message dated 7/6/2006 8:32:32 PM Central Standard Time, ... It looks to me like it applies to any pair of fractions: 1/a + 1/b = (a+b)/(ab). stevo ...
In a message dated 7/6/2006 9:22:10 PM Central Standard Time, ... Actually, this is just a special case of a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd, where a = c = 1. stevo ...
For a long time I've been looking for a way to write numbers so that when they were sorted as *text*, they would come out in the right order. Here's a simple...
In a message dated 7/8/2006 11:28:09 AM Central Standard Time, ... Should be: 9,999,999,999 would be 9'9999999999 (or with commas: 9'999,999,999,9). stevo ...
... If you write the numbers like 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12... Another words, if you put a zero before a single digit number, it will get sorted...
In a message dated 7/8/2006 12:33:21 PM Central Standard Time, ... That only works in this one case, namely, from 1 to 99. It's not a general solution. stevo ...
... I don't want to answer this right out because it sounds like you're asking a homework question, but I'll give you some hints Hint 1: Put the equation of...
In a message dated 7/8/2006 12:33:21 PM Central Standard Time, ... That more than doubles the length of the number, in general. stevo [Non-text portions of...
... Your answer "smells right", and seems in the ballpark: ceil(24!/(48*(8!)^3)) = 197,198,162 :) While I recall attempting this (about 14 years ago) by...
... So, you're seeking a mapping from a set of numbers (integers or some larger subset of the reals) to text strings such that lexicographic ordering of...
... When a routine school problem goes unanswered in this group, it's generally a tacit reply, if you see what I mean. You'll obtain better results in the...
In a message dated 7/10/2006 11:50:52 AM Central Standard Time, ... All the numbers will be the same digits in the same order as in ordinary place notation....
... Perhaps I've misunderstood your goal, then. If that's the case, the additional comments below are unlikely to be helpful, and should be ignored. :) My...
Consider a space quadrilateral whose edges have equal length. Describe the configuration for which the (tetrahedral) convex hull has maximum volume, and find...
... Am I missing something here, or will the maximum volume occur when the equal length edges have the maximum length - which may be infinite?? Peter...
In a message dated 7/10/2006 6:19:44 PM Central Standard Time, ... Granted, but I didn't introduce lex strings. The scheme I described satisfies me, so I'm...
In a message dated 7/10/2006 6:19:44 PM Central Standard Time, ... Yes, this was a problem to which I could find no solution, short of applying some arithmetic...
In a message dated 7/10/2006 6:19:44 PM Central Standard Time, ... These various example numbers would be in my notation (A'B'C=X) = C*(10^(B*(10^A))): 0'0'8 =...
In a message dated 7/10/2006 6:19:44 PM Central Standard Time, ... I suppose the set of numbers I want to represent is indeed a finite set of rationals, namely...
... Again, perhaps I misunderstand, but if you want numbers sorted "in textual order" I read that as lexicographic ordering on strings taken from the set of...
