Firstly, we have three administrative notes.
- I’ve posted the second homework set. You can find it here.
- I’ve also written solutions to the first homework set. You can find those here.
- After feedback from the first week, I’m setting stable office hours. My office hours will be from 1-3pm on Monday and 2:30-3:30pm on Tuesday (immediately following our class). [Or we can set up an appointment].
I’ll see you on Tuesday, when we will continue to talk about the Euclidean Algorithm and greatest common divisors.
David Lowry-Duda October 19, 2021 at 7:14 pm on An Intuitive Overview of Taylor SeriesHi Bob! The behavior of $c$ is actually quite subtle. It's not true that $c$ is actually a constant. For "nice" functions, what is true is that the mean value $c$ varies continuously over intervals (except at finitely many points). Combined with a form of Darboux's theorem (stating that every function that is the derivative of another function has the ---
Bob October 18, 2021 at 6:09 pm on An Intuitive Overview of Taylor SeriesIt's been a while since there was a comment here, but I'll give it a try in the hope for a response. Your proof gives me a sense of validation in my own work, although I still have questions. I wrote a very similar idea here: https://math.stackexchange.com/q/4277898/225136 . As you can see from a comment that someone left, the proof ---

Jan van Delden February 25, 2021 at 5:07 pm on phase_mag_plot: a sage package for plotting complex functionsI took the liberty to download your SageMath module and changed a few options. Since I was not completely clear on the interaction between lightness and color (defined by the argument of the function to be displayed) I decided to weigh these differently. Color, from the colorwheel by 0.8 and lightness by 0.2. I computed the color first and weighed ---
eliot December 23, 2020 at 4:07 pm on Trigonometric and related substitutions in integralsFor Euler substitutions, do you mind explaining the reasoning for the t term in x*sqrt(a) + t. Is there anywhere else I can read up on this? Thanks for this post!
