@vzn Seriously, someone not blaring their emotional state out for all to see on a public channel is a very different thing from not having emotions. It's called being a private person, which had much to be said for it in comparison to oversharing.
And the neighbourhood where it happens only needs to exist. It's not an "all neighbourhoods" condition. But it serves to separate the point of tangency from any additional points where the curves may meet.
I was thinking along the lines "there exists a neighborhood $U$ of the point for which the intersection of $U$, $C_1$ and $C_2$ solely contains the point
I wish I could remember the correct formal definition. It's something I would have known when I was working on my Master's. But it's just too many years ago, I'm sorry.
Someone in the Mathematics chat room might be able to help you.

@PrathyushPoduval let me look back at your last message ...
@PrathyushPoduval the typing problem could be the touchpad. It sounds as if the cursor is moving while you are typing.
I would start by trying to work out if it's a hardware or software problem.
If have a bootable DVD or USB stick you can boot off that and see if the touchpad still misbehaves. If it still does then it would probably be hardware.
Have you got a Windows install DVD or USB stick? Or a recovery disk for your laptop?
Let me know when you've downloaded it so I can delete it again
When you've downloaded the ISO file you need to convert it to a bootable USB stick, but that's really easy. Ping me when you have the ISO and I'll talk you through it.
To boot off the USB stick you need to reboot the laptop and get to the boot menu. I think you press F9 on HPs. That is, reboot and as soon as the HP logo appears start tapping F9.
I can't remember exactly when you have to press F9, so I recommend tapping it repeatedly during the boot.
@PrathyushPoduval S'OK you can't do any harm from this menu
@BalarkaSen I have to confess I'm pretty weak on electrodynamics, but then I've always hated it. It always felt to me to be just an excuse for sadistic examiners to set ridiculously contrived questions.
"He shows that in a model with four questions where the answer is contingent on who is asking the question, the correlations between the answers violate the Bell inequalities, calculated on the assumption that $\Omega$ is the set of people being questioned."
(Apologies Mum, in the unlikely event you read the Physics SE)
Actually Pink Floyd are flawed in lots of ways. They don't really deserve the status they have. Wish You Were Here has about half an album's worth of good ideas and half an album of filler i.e. aimless noodling.
But then they were hardly talking to each other by that stage.
Mm I see. I haven't listened to enough Pink Floyd to add anything constructive to that, I was just making a random popularmusicsuuucks joke. I really liked The Wall, the only album from them I have listened to carefully and meticulously
For the Canadian artist and graphic designer see Heather Cooper
Prof Heather Anita Couper, CBE, BSc, DSc (Hon), DLitt (Hon), FInstP, CPhys, FRAS (born 2 June 1949), is a British astronomer and science populariser, and was president of the British Astronomical Association from 1984 to 1986.
== Early life ==
Couper was born on 2 June 1949. She is the eldest daughter of George Couper Elder Couper and Anita Couper (née Taylor). At the age of seven or eight, she was watching planes in the night sky because her father was an airline pilot, when she unexpectedly witnessed a bright green meteor. ...
Reduplication is a process by which the root or stem of a word, or part of it, is repeated. Alternative terms include cloning, doubling, duplication, and repetition. Reduplication has a grammatical function in some languages, such as plurality or intensification. It is also used to derive new words. The process of anthroponymy, or naming people, is frequently creative, and provides examples of this.
During immigration many Arabs or others who use the Arab naming structure do not have a family name but take their father's name as their "last name". Most immigrants from the Arab world usually take...
Hmm. There was a kid at my school called Christopher Christopher.
Hmm, priceless, from Wikipedia. "... St George St George, 1st Baron Saint George Not to be confused with George St George, 1st Baron Saint George. ..."
The amazing thing is that St George St George, 1st Baron Saint George wasn't born St George St George; but when he married the daughter of George St George, 1st Baron Saint George, he took his wife's surname and became St George St George, then later took her father's title.

@vzn The British people had a culture of writing poetry and plays in the olden times. But their English is not too good, so instead they invested those skills in writing pop hits.
@CaptainBohemian It was a half-joke. The more serious half is something along the lines of, Britain contributed very little to the English language literature in the past two centuries.
Few days ago I asked a question.why can't we stand on water surface? (why water cannot give the normal force same as our weight). Pls let me know the reason completely. @JohnRennie
@ffahim When you stand on the water surface your weight creates a force acting on the water. But the force on the water is only part of your weight not your whole weight.
So the equal and opposite upwards force that the water exerts on you is also only part of your weight.
Since the upwards force is less than your weight there is a net force pulling you downwards and you sink into the water.
@BalarkaSen uh, that statement really seems completely uninformed, but do concede am not a lit prof or lit historian myself. two notable/ highly influential examples of british lit off the top of my head (some personal affinity): 1984 orwell and brave new world/ huxley.
from your point "the floor isn't flowing away" when the water is displaced air instantly fills that place, so in that case the remaining weight is exerting on air molecule. @JohnRennie
@vzn Two examples do not really constitute a basis for an argument. I have no statistical basis for the statement I made, but I think it's definitely true. Most major literary works in English language I can come up with are mostly written by Irishmen, or people of Irish descent. I'd bet money on it.
I am open to a statistical counterargument
On another note I should read either of 1984 and Brave New World at some point of time in my life
@BalarkaSen maybe you are not familiar with the examples cited. this "debate" seems maybe better suited for an English Language & Usage chat room. would not expect indians to be much familiar with english lit.
And it's not about whether the water is flowing away or not. See when I just stand (or try to stand) at that instant full of my body weight is on the water surface, but it seems like the normal force that was expected to act on me gets reduced. @JohnRennie
I do not claim to be an expert in English literature, but I have read a fair bit, enough to make an informed guess (which may turn out to be correct or incorrect)
@BalarkaSen any argument with you would demand a fair "moderator"/ outside audience because you increasingly seem to be far from ones attributes wrt misc debates.
@Tanuj nice example, thx. penniless single mother now worlds richest/ 1st billionaire author (another multibilliondollar movie franchise among top grossing ever) + also still holding out hope for a date with her :) :P
@vzn Well, yes, because I am making a purely statistical claim. Someone has to do the statistics to refute my argument. You seem to have real logical comprehension issues
my HS english teacher had huge "like" of conrad heart of darkness... a novel which seems to be prescient wrt 20th century (colonialism/ imperalism/ war) horrors etc... it seems british writers (again thinking of orwell+ huxley) have some thing about prescience...
however, it seems no matter what I do, I never can express $g$ in terms of something without involving $\int f(x) dx$, which is really weird because the concrete example above does not seemed to suffer this problem
