have we finished the characterisation of all groups with a unique maximal subgroup?
so far we have proved that they have prime power order and are cyclic
I guess that's all
unique maximal subgroup = primer power order + cyclic
Hey guys. Back with another probability theory question:

Q: Prove that a sum containing a Poisson variable is finite with probability 1

ALannisterLet $Z = \sum_{r=1}^{\infty}rX_{r}$, where $X_{r}$ is of Poisson distribution with intensity rate $\displaystyle \frac{1}{r^{2}}$, $r \geq 1$. I need to prove that $Z$ is finite with probability $1$. First off, I am not sure if this problem is asking me to 1) Prove that $Z$ is finite AND has pro...

@TedShifrin :( You know anything about this?

Anyone have experience with both MATLAB and Octave?

ooo, probability sums
(it feels like it should have a stat-mech interpretation, though I'm not saying that'd make it easier)
