comment A “simple” 3rd grade problem…or is it?
This question really doesn’t deserve nearly as much attention as it gets. Of course, the teacher’s mistake is outrageous and it’s fun to laugh at their incompetence, feeling superior to them, but c’mon.

comment How discontinuous can a derivative be?
Without math.stackexchange, I don’t think I’d ever have learned this, yet imagined it. This is such a great answer. Many, many thanks to you, Dave. (And also to you, @PeterTamaroff, as you linked this answer in your profile.)

comment Cantor set as a set of continued fractions?
@FrankMcGovern I wouldn’t know, I can’t view it. But since you posted it, I’m positive it would help. : — D (It says I’ve reached the viewing limit, loosely translated.)

comment Can someone please explain $e$ in layman's term?
Think of it as a pimped-up $2$.

comment Does every smooth surjective function have a smooth right inverse?
@GCD Nothing! I’ve forgotten about it. Thanks. But I’m also interested in a discussion of the conditions under which some left/right inverses might exist, so this doesn’t fully answer the question.

Look at the edited version! It’s $x+1$ instead of $x-1$.

comment Problem on multiplicative subsets 1
@rgl4 Yes, you could say that. The statement is true.

comment Problem on multiplicative subsets 1
@rgl4 Well, yes. Exactly. Using the fact that $Γ$ is multiplicative: $$f(a_1 ·a_2) = \underbrace{f(a_1)}_{∈ Γ} · \underbrace{f(a_2)}_{∈ Γ} ∈ Γ$$ Therefore, $a_1·a_2 ∈ f^{-1}(Γ)$. So $Σ = f^{-1} (Γ)$ is multiplicative and will do the job for $f(f^{-1}(Γ)) = Γ$ because of the surjectivity of $f$.

comment Problem on multiplicative subsets 1
@rgl4 Let $a_1, a_2 ∈ f^{-1}(Γ)$. What can you say about $f(a_1·a_2)$?

And qtoctave adds a GUI similar to Matlab’s as far as I can tell.

comment Drawing an arc between two points
Maybe this can help you. In your case, $θ = \arccos \big(\tfrac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}\big)$ gives you the angle $θ$ of the point $(a,b)$ to the (right ray of the) horizontal axis.

comment show that holomorpic function f such that f(1/2n) = f(1/2n+1) are constant
How does this answer help with the actual problem?

comment Drawing an arc between two points
You mention $x$ and $y$ coordinates as well as a width, a height, an startAngle an arcAngle and a type as input. What do they represent? And what is the angle between two points $A$ and $B$? Do you mean “with respect to the origin”, i.e. you draw a line through $A$ and the origin $(0,0)$ and a line through $B$ and the origin and that’s the angle?

comment Imagining four or higher dimensions and the difference to imagining three dimensions
@D.W.: Yeah, see the link to the mathoverflow question I included.
