i know there are mathsy people the read this forum,and i can find nothing through google about this so,...

complex analysis - how do you prove complex functions are continuous? for instance

f(z)=r^(1/3) * {(cos(theta/3))+ (i*(sin(theta/3)))}

where r=|z| and arg(z) satisfies -pi<theta<=pi

'prove that f is not continuous along the negative real axis'

thoughts?

drink ten pints and then see if you end up going for a kebab or not.

well if:

f = a good night
r = alcohol intake
theta = opposite gender

then

a good night = alcohol intake * (costly(opposite gender)) + you being sinful (opposite gender)

where

r and z satisfy the opposite gender

so if the opposite gender and alcohol intake can be extended through pie, you will have a continuous good night

Q.E.D.

think about what the function tends to as it approaches the negaitve axis from either side, that is plug in theta appropriately. If it tends to the same thing from above and below then it is continuous.

i love it when m talks maths mmmm mmmm.

sorry for the maths chat guys, i know it's not cool!

[eddie]

i have more maths questions

i have a squad of 17 players in my hockey team that i am going to start team managing. Its intra mural so no keepers. I want everyone to have an equal amount of pitch time ~40 minutes in a 60 minute match.

how do i go about doing that?

[Mr. Furness]

hi eddie

i cannot help with this problem, as i don't know how many players from your squad are on the pitch at any one time. sorry.

[DesignatedDriver]

going by the punch up he had at his match on wednesday, he would be better off with all 17 on the pitch

safety in numbers and all that

cheers m

and -> maths has always been cool

[m]

no problem. i know maths is cool really...maybe...
