Alrighty, speaking of bogus ways to prove 1=0 (1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+...=0+0+0...=0 Right? ok Now, this obviuhsleh is equal to 1+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+(-1+1)+...=1+0+0+0...=1 Well, not quite. You've left out what happens at the *end* of the sequence: (1-1) + (1-1) + ... + (1-1) = 1 + (-1 + 1) ... + ( -1 +...

Step 2 is not correct. solve by cross-multiplying: 2. nx=d(x-k) 3. x=d(x-k)/n Actually, his step 2 is perfectly correct; it comes from the arithmetic of fractions - in particular a b a + b --- + --- = ---------- m m m (IOW, a quarter plus two quarters is three quarters). You mightn't find this as o...

In practice, most apps and most parts of the remaining apps are not performance critical. And python, like most higher-level languages, provides a bri...
