I feel stupid now.

I guess I'll just have to wait until I see an application of it, or see something where it could be useful.

In mathematic notation I guess you would be x units away from a limit, and if you reach the limit you must count backwards from the limit.

I've written notation for it and it looks something like:


B1, A1B9, A9.
B2, A2B8, A8B1, A1B7, A7.

@TedShifrin Am I just talking nonsense?

if we then do 1+ 2 + 3... + 20 then the maximum number of moves are 20.
Anheuser

any number less than 55 can reach the wall in 10 of these "moves"
Anheuser
Apr 2, 2017 03:31
@TedShifrin And lets say I say you're 1 foot away from a wall, you first step forward 1 foot and backwards 9 feet, the next "move" is 9. So you step forward 9 feet, and the sequence is done. it has taken two moves. So 1 would be equal to 2.

Yes.

@TedShifrin take your time to answer this.. But:

I've been thinking about the sum of the numbers 10 to 1, and have come to a few conclusions, I'm trying to find more information on it but my idea is very abstract. I've never heard anything about it and see no applications of it, but it's real and it has clear patterns.

This is basically it, I'll explain it here.
Imagine you're 5 feet from a wall, and you have to move 10 feet, 9 feet, 8 feet, 7 feet ....1 foot. and if you reach the wall you have to walk in the opposite direction the amount of feet left in the numbers. Well, I've found for …

@TedShifrin Ted, what would I type in to google to read more about adding up the numbers from 10-1 and any conclusions that can be drawn from the series?
Anheuser
Apr 2, 2017 03:20
I've mapped out every number to 55.
Anheuser
Apr 2, 2017 03:19
For the series 10-1 the maximum amount of "moves" is 10.
Anheuser

Hello everyone

@axoren thanks for the chat.

@MeowMix Good luck on your essay man.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:49
I've always just tied a limit to the first derivative of a function and chalked it up to the instantaneous rate of change. at x.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:49
that's an interesting way to look at it.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:48
perhaps.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:48
haha.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:46
Explain to me what a limit is.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:46
Wow that's an impressive resume.

@MeowMix What is your "language" of choice?
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:44
@MeowMix I do not generally like to program, I liked doing discrete mathematics for computing, but have never liked to program.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:43
@MeowMix I had the fortune of only learning a little C++. I found it too easy, so I never studied, and so found it hard.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:43
Yeah it's abstract and out there but it's cool.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:42
That's pretty cool though, really.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:41
You must forgive me, I am not well versed in the realm of physics or computer science....or math for that matter.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:41
Yes that was what I was thinking of.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:41
Ah. The tachyon telephone?
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:40
tachhhhhhh
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:40
Tachy...
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:40
But cannot recall the name.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:40
And I know the exact one you are speaking of.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:39
The answer is to do what makes you happy, while still surviving.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:39
Huh that's pretty radical!
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:38
So I've become accustomed to answering any "now what?" with "have a cigarette"
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:38
You know, I wake up every morning and have a coffee and right away I ask myself "now what?" and the answer is always "have a cigarette"

Gauss' analysis of a hole in the ground.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:36
haha! This is true.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:36
why because there are zero applications and the whole field seems redundant?
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:36
I'm doing mine in pure math.
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:36
For compsci or math?
Anheuser
Apr 1, 2017 01:35
Ah. How's it going?
