Darivie04:are you serious or you're joking? If you're saying the truth,then you are lucky to have been exposed to such level of mathematics |

futurist369: Na, I even feel I started too late. Which I had started earlier. |

Darivie04: This problem belongs to Geometric Inequalities, of course, Combinatorial arguments can help. |

graccce: I'm doing Mathematics and Economics. I take courses from Economics and Mathematics department simultaneously. However, if you're studying just "Economics" you'll never take any course from Mathematics department. Although you'll do Mathematics, it would be from Economics department and it would general be called "Introduction to Quantitive Methods" or "Mathematics for Econonomists". Note because most Microeconomics course involve a lot of Mathematics. |

Darivie04: Keep trying. |

graccce: You have to do something about your Mathematics skills because from your 100level to 400level, you shall have to meet Mathematics every semester you spend in school. If you neglect Mathematics, you'll definitely struggle in school, ask any Economics student, a lot of Mathematics is required for that course. Some of the Maths topics you shall meet in school includes Linear Algebra, Calculus, Operations Research, Statistics, etc. Economics is becoming Mathematical as a discipline and courses like Microeconomics contains a lot of Mathematics. Econometrics is purely Mathematics and Statistics combined to tackle problems in Economics. You can download good books and brush yourself up a bit before you resume school. I can help with the few soft copies I have (09032151495). Don't quote my mobile number. |

MathsEconomics: Thanks alot. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 12:38pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
MathsEconomics:Your doing math and economics which means your going into something like quantitative finance right? |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 12:41pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
MathsEconomics: If a and b are even numbers there is a contradiction cause a^n+b^n is also an even number and therefore has 2 as a prime divisor. 2 can never be written in the for 2nk+1 if n and k are integers. I might be wrong somewhere though, would be happy for someone to point out where. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 1:10pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
Darivie04: I want to specialize in Econometrics, Game Theory and Combinatorics/Graph Theory. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 1:17pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
Darivie04: The problem asserts nothing on the parity of a and b. So there's no contradiction. However, the condition given in the problem is 2. So even if one is false, the other may still be true. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 1:20pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
MathsEconomics: Are you referring to the two conditions given for k? And I assumed that since the question said a and b are natural numbers that whatever two natural numbers I put for a and b as long as a>b the question statement should be true(true for all natural numbers). But then when a and b are two positive even numbers the question statement isn't true(not true for all natural numbers) which is the contradiction I talked about. Or am I supposed to modify the question a little ![]() |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 5:33pm On Mar 12, 2019 |
Darivie04: There's nothing to modify here. Read the problem again. The condition given in this problem is 2. It asserts that if A doesn't hold, then B must hold.

MathsEconomics: I understand the problem but haven't still made much progress. I would like to see the solution tho |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 3:31pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
Darivie04: On second thought I think I'm getting somewhere... |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 6:40am On Jul 18, 2019 |
Open problem

Polynomial equations
|
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 2:52pm On Jul 19, 2019 |
MathsEconomics:I'm yet to study functional equation but I can see that f(0)=0 |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 2:46pm On Aug 01, 2019 |
MathsEconomics:If by P^2(X) you mean P(P(X)) then P(X) = -2 is the only solution. If by P^2(X) you mean (P(X))^2 then no solution exists. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Nobody: 5:13pm On Aug 02, 2019 |
Darivie04: None of your answers are correct but I actually mean the square of the polynomial and not the composition. |
Re: Nigerian Mathematics Olympiad by Darivie03: 5:32pm On Aug 02, 2019 |
MathsEconomics:Post your solution then. |
