how to use this forum

Valentin Vornicu

Hi all,

The purpose of this forum is to collect calculus problems that are more computations than actual problems, namely problems that ask you to computer either a limit of a sequence, sum of an infinite series, limit or integral of a function.

However if the problem is really more complex, although it has the looks described above, I would like the moderators to move it in the appropriate forums.

Thanks,
Valentin.

The existence of this forum may have something to do with a suggestion I made to Valentin. What I had in mind was to have a place where those who are learning calculus for the first time could bring the questions that puzzle them.

I would hope that we, the more experienced users, will welcome these new learners and have patience with them. For my part (and I've been teaching calculus for more than 25 years) I will try to respond with hints and suggestions rather than just answering your questions - after all, you have to learn to do this for yourself.

Just remember that we're not here to do your homework for you.

Excuse me, but how could I type in those mathematical symbols? For example, the integration? Thanks.

Is my problem that hard? It was moved to this forum instead of the pre-olympiad forum. And yet it has not been answered.

It's a matter of subject. High school contests don't include calculus. The choice was between the various calculus subforums, not between here and something in the high school area.
