"You decide" - Yeah right.
"could take a little longer." - I KNOW THAT!random we know who actually decides same old shit i know a fun fact about square roots windows is gonna fuck some time -
Remember the post about bruce's constant?(4.5099806905005)
Well apparently theres a convergent series for it found all the way back in 2015.
Apparently its an actual thing. Which connects e to the square root of this series.
And it converges on (bruce-1)**0.5.
I confirmed it myself.
The two people who found the series that converges are N. J. A. Sloane and Hiroaki Yamanouchi
Thank you Sloane and Hiroaki!
The actual formula is a series of embedded square roots with the repeating numbers 1,4,2,8,5,7
like so...
sqrt(1+sqrt(4+sqrt(2+sqrt(8+sqrt...
What this means is you can find e using this series.
All you do is run the series, raise by a power of 2, add 1, calculate J and K like so
J = log(2, 1.333333333333333) / log(2, 2)
K = log(2, 1.333333333333333) / log(2, 3)
then calculate (J+K)-(bruce-1)
and out pops our buddy e:
2.7182818284591317
I guess I bullshitted myself for so long, that I didn't believe people like scor when they said they legit witnessed by math skills grow.
Or maybe a blind squirrel occasionally DOES find a nut.
Pretty cool find either way.13 -
# school suck
! coding
hello, hope im not bothering anyone with my adolescent problems, but im really angry towards school.
first of all,
the subjects get thaught much too slow.
like dafuq, why does our maths teacher need 6h to teach us what square roots are? Why does our history teacher need 10h to teach us about one single revolution???
and worst of all: why is everything accompagnied by long, repetitive, homework?
Also, why do they think that im bad just because i dont have the best grades??? im a GOOD average, without learning a TAD!!!
also, here i am, needing to learn maths for some it project.
when i ask any teacher, he doesnt explain it to me but says "you will learn that in class xy"
ok, then i guess i can teach it myself.
but when i take books into school to read em (remember, i already know the subjects), the teachers always take em from me.
also, im not allowed to talk to anyone. not even when idle.
so currently, i am trying not to get angry from this, tomorrow school starts again. after this year legally, i would be allowed to drop out.
could you please tell me what you would do? should i drop out? change school? change class? im open to reolly anything that possibly could help (my parents arent)35 -
Faster square roots?
Did you know if you multiply your
product by pi, and then use that as
the area of a circle while solving for
the radius, the result will be an
approximation of the square root
of your product.
Example:
let p (the product) = 492181
then √p = 701.5561274766261
492181*pi = 1,546,232~
(leaving off the fraction for
the sake of brevity)
area = 1,546,232
then the radius of the 'circle' would be 701.56
I wonder if anyone has stumbled on this before?13
