We can also find the f minimizing the integral of f^2 by considering the Lagrangian: integral f(x)^2 - lambda f(x) + lambda - mu x f(x) + mu dx, then solving pointwise for f(x) to get f(x) = (lambda + mu x) / 2, then using the constrai

I work in an open plan office and find potentially relevant discussions to be the most distracting, so I'm glad that most of these now take place asynchronously over instant messaging. If you've even managed to focus in an airport
