   Also, being psychosomatic does NOT mean they are ficticious, which is a widespread opinion.

   Oh but in J loops exist, they are mostly implicit in the operation. So it is not “loopless” per se, as the sigma notation for summation indicates a loop in a single construct, and it “can be written away” using Einstein’s notation. That is

   You probably want to try and read Courant-Johns Calculus (I forget the exact title).

   Memory is the basis of any real knowledge. This we have known since for ever… Intelligent people tend to think that you do not need to memorize because everything is out there at a button-press distance. But they do not realize that what ma

   No examples (home). Maxima: plotdf, Mathematica: Streamplot. Sorry.

    For the vector fields just anyone with a couple of singularities would work. The moment you set unequal axes Mathematica blows up. Sorry but am home. If you mail me during the week I shall find examples for you. The matrix was something I s

    I use this frequently for plotting planar vector fields: it is much better than Mathematica’s StreamPlot (which I am forced to use from time to time). Also another colleague found out the hard way that maxima can happen to solve symbolic&#x

    I am amazed that an insurance company is keen to make such a lose-lose deal, honestly, without proper verification of the capabilities of the insured person. Well, they seem to be learning now.

    Classically professionals learnt their discourses by heart. That stands out when you see it. I remember fondly a student of mine who seemed unable to express himself properly. I told him to memorize his final project dissertation because ot

    Thank you. I would pay for a piece of software that does that job on my computer with no Internet. This way? I may even end up in court for saying something “improper”… Edi. OK: I’ve just read the developer’s reply below. Honestly: you need

    But it is much costlier (time, materials, logos…) and a different technique.

    The “table of contents in a paragraph “ is almost compulsory in any engineering (even applied maths) paper, in most journals… As far as I can tell.

    “Making money” is not a humane endeavour. Just that. Helping people, raising a family, being virtuous… “Making money” is just so void of content. Companies either exist for human beings or are just despicable. But this is just my opinion ob
