Is there such a thing as a multiset with a “negative” number of some element? I imagine that it could be useful to represent members of $\mathbb Q$ as a multiset with possibly negative multiplicity indicating the prime factorization of both the numerator and denominator, where a negative multiplicity indicates that the factor is in the denominator. |

arbitrary three points on a circle The answer has to depend on $\theta$. You're assuming $\theta = \pi$. |

What's the largest possible volume of a taco, and how do I make one that big? I'm slowly working my way through this magnum opus. If I'm not mistaken, the $\sqrt{1-s^2}x\sqrt{1-\dot x^2}$ on the right side after "which yields" shouldn't have an $x$, since you've differentiated that out. (I assume it's just an error in presentation and that it didn't affect later calculations.) |
