A Sketch of Effective Learning Using Technology [Part 1]

Authors: Timothy Jones
Comments: 7 Pages.

A problem set from a calculus text is solved. The goal is to see whether or not modern calculators and a CAS are genuinely helpful.

The Peculiar Case of "p"

Authors: Simon A. Pritchett
Comments: 63 Pages.

Division by zero is a phenomenon described by confused mathematicians for hundreds of years. I would like to declare the value of one divided by zero to be equal to "p". I shall call p the pseudo-imaginary unit, as it shares several characteristics with i, the imaginary unit, as they both solve difficult equations that cannot be solved with basic algebraic and arithmetic mathematical operations, and they both extend real numbers into a new, larger set of numbers. In the case of i, the set is known as the complex numbers, whereas with p, it is known as the "pseudo-complex numbers".

Division by Zero 1/0 = 0/0 = 0 and Computers Real.div: New Information and Many Applications

Authors: Saburou Saitoh, Yoshinori Saitoh
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this note, we introduce the new information {bf real.div} on the division by zero results $1/0= 0/0=0$ that is recently informed and we would like to propose the related important problems on the division by zero calculus.

A Third Order Sequence

Authors: Edgar Valdebenito
Comments: 3 Pages.

We study the third order sequence:u(n)=3u(n-1)+6u(n-2)+3u(n-3) , u(0)=1,u(1)=3,u(2)=15,n=3,4,5,...
