    [2024/08/07] Hypocycloid
  • Hint:

    spoiler

    Try out the following tasks before going for the big one

    1. Draw a circle of radius a.
    2. Animate a point on circle a, let that be your rotational speed.
    3. Animate a circle rolling horizontally (along the x axis) at your rotational speed.
    4. Animate a point on that horizontally rolling circle.

    You should now have an idea on how to draw a hypocycloid.

    1
  • Draw a hypocycloid using a graphical calculator (such as Desmos or Geogebra).

    Your hypocycloid should include

    • Inner circle of radius `a
    • Outer circle of radius `b
    • As time t increases the point on the inner circle should trace out the pattern, you can animate the graph using t.

    Below is the link to a Desmos graph:

    [2024/08/04] Extended Euclid's Algorithm
  • Hint

    If you are studying the algorithm, you are doing it wrong

    • Given n and m are coprime, show that there exist integer n' such that nn' mod m=1.
    • The extended Euclid's algorithm is given below without proof, which may be useful in your proof.

    (I'm too lazy to type out the algorithm again, so look at the image yourself)

    • Prove that z(x mod y) = (zx) mod (zy)

    Be rigorous

  • because I have never heard of this argument before, ever. most media's stance on politics is "their party bad our party good", but the "all the parties are pretty hypocritical" argument has never been explored properly, because its depressing and nobody likes it.

  • I'm a Londoner, I used to have this friend (who is not a Londoner) we had a huge disagreement on topic unspecified. But after I've watched this video I think I see his viewpoint, which is true. I just don't see it at all because there's such a enormous disconnect between London and the rest of the country.

    I would recommend you to watch the video as well, some arguments made in the video are slightly misleading, but the general picture is clear and true.

    Infinite product follow-up
  • I've shown that ln(n/n-1) is always larger than 1/n, so Σln(n/n-1) for all natural number n will be larger than the series 1+1/2+1/3+...

    but I don't know how to make sure the sum of all ln(p/p-1) only when p is prime is larger than the provided series

    the question is strongly suggesting its divergent, i just dont know how to show it

    japanese or broken knees
  • i've been doing some 15 minutes of duolingo japanese for almost 10 months now, and i think i know a bit of japanese, and i could vaguely understand lyrics of songs if i stop it and read the text, i think the main issue for some people is that they only do it to "keep the streak", which is the case for a lot of my irl friends, and they barely learnt anything. One of my friend did do a large number of russian lessons daily, and i think he now knows quite a bit of russian (aka, can speak)

    i dont think i'll be able to speak japanese in a daily convo in quite a while, cuz im too scared to speak, however im starting to understnad what they are speaking, so its not entirely accurate to say duolingo is pointless, cuz it really depend on ur attitude towards it

    also, almost none of the anime kids ive met know any amount of japanese, the two topics couldnt be any more different
