Any maths buffs?

Some good one's I've book marks

Some of the maths lecturers from QMW used to drink at the Old Globe in Mile End on a Friday night.
Haven't seen any of them for ages, but we could use them as our own Inpub Wiki?

I used to love a bit of pure maths back in the day.

Trying to cut back on the double differentiation now, but still allow myself a light simultaneous equation from time to time..

No can do before the Euroepean Championships I'm afraid (Next weekend).
Feel free to have a get together without me though, I wouldn't want to prevent you discussing maths in my absence.

You like looking at numbers. You wouldn't own a powertap if you didn't like graphs and things.

It does graphs? I only buy those hubs for the funky little carbon "windows".

street countdown
just like countdown but played in the street

Don't worry, I'm just pulling your leg.

wow a maths thread! brilliant.

can anyone help me plot sea surface temperature onto a globe using matlab, driving. me. insane.

also noone on this forum happens to be the author of the los alamos sea ice model? no thought not, I'll have to do my PhD myself then.

Oh and yes recreational maths pub gathering will be incredible, what shall we discuss? Parallel postulate would be good for starters. (that was a pun by the way) [\maths jokes]

i'd be up for listening as i doubt i could contribute much to the actual discussion, am out of london atm but need to come up for bits and bobs around the 23rd july?

edit: and to update the OP, the exams went well in the end, result in 6 days...

Happy to delay till after the Europoeans. What about Wednesday 28th July?

Is Easts dead then?

i was there just this weds it was heaving
they like to say it's dead but that just to keep the riff raff away !

all the movers and shakers were there

this should be pretty trivial, although saying that i'm extremely rusty with matlab and may be misremembering. drop a pm with more details if you like

I wasn't

oh tim
what a set up, it would be a shame to waste it

@mashton, I've just read the bit in the tatoo thread.
Eulers identity is easily derived from DeMoivre's theorem. I think..... let me check......

correct.

also, nurseholliday will be interested in this.

So all Euler did was sub in pi for x and got -1? Bloody waster.

sheeeeesh even i could have done that ^^^^

So.

I may possibly be interested in this too, I've always regretted being lazy at math in school and not doing better so i guess i'll be more listening than contributing too

I checked out de moivre's theorem on Wikipedia and I don't think I buy the above.

This is Euler's Formula, from which it is trivial (as above) to extract Euler's identity.

De Moivre's is not to do with complex exponents and does not lead to a trivial derivation of the identity at all.

?

.

Seeing how the 3 concepts behind euler's idendity evolved, namely e, i, and pi, you'd bloody well hope that they'd equal something elegant or we'd all be screwed. Do some complex analysis on it and it'll all become obvious (and boring, so very very boring).
