for n>=6, subject of the formula may not be possible.

jackpot: Here comes the full solution in PDF format.


already downloaded it? I need your reviews

Mbahchiboy: still pending.....plz i need answers to dis

Laplacian:
@d citizen,
her rationalization approach is error-free, i suggest u use brackets in ur solutions to avoid ambiguity....
...though ur answer is correct but ur 'argument' does not justify u because ur transition (cos@) to d complex domain (e^i@) also changes d condition r<1 to |r|<1...

statusnet: Hello, I got admission to Unilag (computer engineering) and I was wondering what engineering math book I can buy to keep me busy ?

doubleDx:

Hi jackpot, could you re-post your approach to that paraboloidal problem? Or FWD it to me here: doubledx9ja(at)gmail.com, I want to cool down and go through it. Was kinda busy, I glanced through it once but did not save it on my PC.

I see you guys devouring Math problems here....Kudos to all the active generals and doctors on the thread! Keep it going people, the thread is getting interesting by the day. I hail ona wella!

@statusnet,

I studied mechanical engineering but i have a very strong passion for mathematics,

Here are my recommended texts for engineering mathematics

engineering and advanced engineering mathematics by k A stroud (self explanatory but limit ur math knowledge)

Schaum outlines or series for the following topics:

1.differential equation
2. Partial differential equation
3: numerical analysis.
4. Advanced mathematics for engineer.
5 vector analysis
6: laplace transformation
7.discrete mathematics
8. Advanced calculus
9: trigonometry (if you intend to master mathematics and engineering mathematics)

advanced engineering mathematics by hk dass (broaden ur mathematical prowess)

For pure mathematics,

1. Pure mathematics by backhouse vol1 and 2
2. Pure mathematics by bleckery.
3. Pure mathematics by bouday

Calculusf(x):
Hmmmmm...s=a(r^n-1)/(r-1)...s(r-1)=a(r^n-1)...sr-s=ar^n-a...sr-ar^n=s-a...r{s-ar^(n-1)}=s-a....but don't forget that ar^(n-1)=nth term of a gp...r(s-nth)=s-a...then r=(s-a)/(s-nth)....i guess that's the solution to the problem...though the last term wasn't specified in the question.....

Mbahchiboy: ya it wasnt specified....
and besides i dont want any assumption by saying ar"|n-1] is nth term in the solution......need u to use all the letters given
i dont even know how u got ar"|n-1| were" is raise to power cause it is not in the ques

Alpha Maximus: Well, mathematically speaking, if there's an assumption that Nairaland is a circle, then the Nairaland Mathematics Clinic would be a SECTOR, owing to the fact that a circle is not the only plane shape possessing angles, for all we know, Nairaland could be a dodecagon!!! ...That makes the details less ambiguous.....No offence meant.....Abeg who knows what topic Jauntee02's question is under? Lemme study it ASAP!! * skelewu's back to t.v*

echibuzor: Hey guys, When did the Title of this thread change? I don look for am tire.. good to be back... Richiez, Doubledx.. I sight all y'all...

benbuks: Where is master honey na?...av bin tryin 2 locate the the physics thread.
