		Thys pose la question : Hi I have a problem with the formula that i use .(for programming) I have looked all over the web to find a solution but no luck. I have a cannon that shoots a ball at a target I use this formula to calculate what my initial velocity must be to hit the target at a angle of 30 degrees and a distance of 15m (the cannon and target position is known) It works perfectly if both is at same height but if one is higher or lower it miss. In an example I am working with the range is 30m, the angle is 45 degrees and the target is 10m higher than my position. Please help Formula = V0 = √RG / Sin(2α) Harley Weston lui répond.

	More on millions and billions		2010-03-11
		julio pose la question : shouldn't the thousands of millions, tens of thousands of millions, and hundreds of thousands of millions be called what they are? technically they are not billions because billions come after 999,999,999,999 . It would sound better to call the numbers by their real name when economists talk about the national deficit besides mathematics is a very precise science that doesn't admit mistakes. Or am I wrong?

	A wine decanter		2008-12-10
		Suzanne pose la question : I am trying to buy a wine decanter for my dad for Christmas. One big problem I am having shopping online is finding the right size. Wine is sold by metric ml, with a standard bottle holding 750ml of wine.

Can you help me with metric conversions so I can figure out how much wine these decanters hold? Like everybody else, I need this as soon as possible so I can get it shipped in time for Christmas.

	Cantor's diagonal argument		2008-01-26
		David pose la question : Cantor's theory using a diagonal across a list of real numbers to proven uncoutability has always puzzled me.First in base ten, it feels like hocus pocus so I began thinking of the Boolean numbers as truer representations of place value (on,off). Secondly his list was always arbitrary or so I recollect. Therefore, I suggested using a seriesA=.10000....,B=.01000. C=.11000, etc. Any diagonal is already located among the numbers listed. My only alteration is that since the final digit is always unrepresentably either one or zero, but it must be one or the other, I make an assumption that if x= .abc...1 and y= .abc...2 the only two possibilities and I choose to count F=x+y then then the numbers are countable= Z=sumFi,where I=2+2^2+2^3... I hope this sketch is enough description, I asked Rudy Rucker more formally but got no mathematical response, someone else gave me some tale about slippery epsilon. What do tyou think of recasting his proofs in more rigorous form? David French Claude Tardif and Walter Whiteley lui répond.

	Countable and uncountable sets		2007-07-24

But i am not convinced with this explanation. If you have any good book that explains this in layman term, please redirect me to that. 1) Can you please explain what is the difference between these too ? 2) How could you say set of Natural number and set of even numbers are countably infinite ? N={1,2,3,...} and Even= {2,4,6,...} When an element in the even set is some 2n, we will map it to 'n'.So now we have a bigger number(2n) right ? Sorry, i didn't understand that. ...

		Plober pose la question : How can I explain to a friend (in a bar, using as a pen and a paper napkin) that the integer's infinity is 'smaller' than the irrationals's one? The demo I tried was that you couldn't match the integers with the real numbers between 0 and 1 (that 0.xxxxx replacing the Nth number from a different one... that demo), but she used my argument >:| saying that you can add one to the integer's infinite, and the number I was creating was only one more...

	Multiplier and multiplicand		2003-12-17
		Karen pose la question : The K-5 curriculum states that at a grade 5 level students should "understand and use the terms multiplier, multiplicand" The curriculum defines 'multiplicand' as " a number being multiplied by another number. A factor." There is no definition given for 'multiplier' Question: Define these words- are they just other words for 'factors'. If so, how important is it that students use these terms? It would seem like 'factors' would be the better choice of words to use. If multiplcand refers to eg. the first factor in the equation and the 'multiplier' the seond term, (if in fact it does)- is this not confusing for students when we teach them that multiplication is commutative?
