How to convert a geometric series so that exponent matches index of sum? Fair enough. But here in Britain for example, we don't have a specific course that prepares us for calculus. (Indeed, we generally start studying calculus at a younger age, and the age is even younger in parts of Europe.) I suppose we don't even have a rigorously delineation of fields of mathematics when we study, so it wouldn't make much sense to us anyway. |

How to convert a geometric series so that exponent matches index of sum? Out of curiosity, why is this tag "precalculus" in use? As far as I know it's a strange word only used in the USA, and in any case is an umbrella term for some very disparate subfields of basic mathematics. Most Europeans (and I believe I speak for Asians too) would have no clue what it means. |

Send a File to the Recycle Bin You don't know what DLLs will be available on the system though, in the future. If anything is likely to be removed, it's a DLL like this. Though MS are obsessed with backwards-compatibility, so perhaps none will ever get removed. Yay for bloat? |

Can a monad be a comonad? @AndrewC: No need to be combative mate; I'm not saying this question should be closed. I was just offering a helpful tip to the questyion asker. I actually agree with you... category theory can be a highly abstract and theoretical tool in mathematics, or it can be a rougher conceptual underpinning of functional programming, or anywhere inbetween. |
