@TedShifrin Yeap.

Ted Shifrin

OK, I'm outta here.

Axoren

@TedShifrin Peace.

Dave

I need help

Axoren

@Dave with what?

Dave

im trying to find if a value is more or less than a third of the total

so i do this:

total / value

now is the answer referred to as a "fraction" ?

in this case

or some other terminology?

like i'm writing it like this:

fraction = total / value

but not sure if fraction is the right word

Axoren

00:13

@Dave The result is called the quotient.

But $total/value$ is a fraction.

Dave

so quotient = 3
fraction is 1/3

Axoren

The quotient wouldn't be 3 if the fraction were 1/3. The quotient would be 0.3333...

3/1 = 3.

Dave

oh sorry yes

@Axoren thank you for the help :)

Axoren

No problem. Good luck.

Hallo @DanielFischer
Wie geht es dir?

Hello @quid

Hello @evinda!

evinda

How are you?

Mike Miller

morning @quid

quid

Fine thanks. A bit tired.

Hi @MikeMiller

evinda

Aren't there vacations now at your university? @quid

quid

Yes, sort of. But the research never makes vacations.

evinda

00:22

Aha @quid

Dave

Whats the correct symbol to represent reoccuring ?

quid

00:34

See you all.

Axoren

00:45

@Dave, do you mean like repeating threes? $0.33\bar{3}$

Dave

um =/

that won't look like right microsoft word

i thought it was a period point above the number

Axoren

There's a link on the side for viewing LaTeX in chat.

Dave

but not sure how to write it in word

Axoren

It's an overline over one of the threes.

Dave

so theres no built in ascii to do it ?

Axoren

00:47

Dave

yeah thats it

Axoren

Nope, you've got to figure out how to show that in Microsoft Word yourself.

The Equation functionality in MS Word might let you.

You could just say 0.333 repeating.

Or 0.333...

Dave

ill ask what format they accept

Axoren

Alright, good luck.

Dave

thank you

evinda

00:49

I will go to sleep now.. Good night!!! :)

Julian Rachman

Tumble weed...

Axoren

If you want something to do, math.stackexchange.com/questions/1128485/…

Help me figure out what to do with this mess.

Julian Rachman

Haha. I do not go into Fourier Analysis. But the problem looks interesting.

Axoren

It's either that function or its negative.

Julian Rachman

01:32

user1111

@Julian Do you know what Fourier analysis is?

Julian Rachman

@user1111 do not talk to me

user1111

why?

Julian Rachman

because I know who you are.

user1111

who am i?

Julian Rachman

01:38

And I have been doing my research on you.

Axoren

Don't start having an existential crisis, @user1111

user1111

what are you talking about?

There is practically no information about "user1111" on the internet

Julian Rachman

@Axoren the user account is another person I know

Axoren

user1111

I really do not know what you are talking about

Julian Rachman

01:40

If only I could get some moderator to check your email @user1111

user1111

@Julian I really do not know why you want to do so much investigation on me

Axoren

I don't think they have access to that.

user105491

@Julian I have commented on your question here: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/82510/mathematics-advisory/…

user1111

@Julian Can I say something about your blog?

I've been reading your posts

i'm not going to comment without your permission

Apparently not.

Alexander Gruber

I don't get this trend lately with turning MSE tags into SE proposals.

user105491

01:50

@Alexander That's precisely why I'm commenting on the proposal

user105491

But the "proposee" seems offended that i'm taking interest in it...

Julian Rachman

@Axoren I have been researching how to get this email found because I am sure of my gut.

@user1111 I know you are going to say something negative or something but by all means. Comment on my blog directly

Axoren

@Julian there are ethical reasons with doxing someone because you think you know who they are.

Julian Rachman

Ethical?

Axoren

@JulianRachman It's an extreme breach of privacy for someone to be given your email address, forgetting the fact that it's probably your method of login.

If someone's not sharing it, it's not something they want shared.

Julian Rachman

01:58

@Axoren I just know that the user is someone already in this chat room

and I know their email. I just want to confirm

Axoren

@JulianRachman Then their email address on this other account would not be the same.

Julian Rachman

and I am 100% I am right

Alexander Gruber

@JulianRachman Why don't you just ask them if its their email

Julian Rachman

@Axoren Yes, you are correct

Mike Miller

Morning @Ted

Axoren

01:59

@AlexanderGruber @Julian is under the impression that @user1111 is being deceitful in not being themselves.

Ted Shifrin

good night, @Mike
