I did study math and had a knack for it, but I am sooo out of that business now ...

@GitGud First of all, if it doesn't, the claim is false ;)

@TrevorWilson Sigh - do people never nag you with questions about lottery probabilities (which is "6 out of 49" over here)?

comment How to calculate large exponents by hand?
Of course $2^{15}=32768$ is one of those number known by heart (which for me also include $3^{11}=177147$ and ${49\choose 6}=13983816$ for other reasons), though this is of course a consequence of the ubiquity of that number in computer programming.

comment Special binary string
@JFNJr To clarify again: $c=1$ would then count as "a couplpe of ones that overlap"?

comment Special binary string
So if you fold $abcdef$, then $a$ and $f$, $b$ and $e$, $c$ and $d$ overlap. What in the odd case $abcde$? $a$ and $e$, $b$ and $d$ - and $c$ with itself or is $c$ ignored?

comment Find generator of principal ideal
@vadim123 "A unit" would be the correct answer if we replace $9$ with $7$, for example, so I didnÄt want to exclude it lightheartedly.

comment epsilon delta question limit questions
$\delta=\min\{\delta_1,\delta_2\}$ is precisely the most easily available and "optimal" choice to guarantee that $\delta>0$ and also that $|x-y|<\delta$ implies both $|x-y|<\delta_1$ and $|x-y|<\delta_2$.

comment Suppose that $G$ is nonabelian. Must $|\mathrm{Out}(G)| = |\mathrm{Aut}(G)|/|\mathrm{Inn}(G)|$?
What is your definition of $\operatorname{Out}(G)$?

comment REVISTED$^1$: Circumstantial Proof: $P\implies Q \overset{?}{\implies} Q\implies P$
Note that in this particular case the statement $P\Rightarrow Q$ is in fact wrong. There are diagonal(izable) matrices with non-distinct eigenvalues.

answered If the limit as $x$ approaches $3$ of $x^2$ is $9$, how do I use the epsilon delta definition to prove this?
