The Final Pathetic Bleatings of the Forum |
I humbly request the wisdom of Bill GatesReplies:You're a programmer, so riddle me this: How did the
esteemed Panelists get a hold of a math-plotting program,
and how did Yoda made that great picture of the answer? (I
know he used the force, but HOW? What program and how is it
connected to the Forum?) I am intrigued; my question has
produced answers I didn't know you guys were capable of!
By the way, find the solution to the differential equation
y'' - xy = 0 using a power series solution about the
ordinary point x=0. (I've already done this problem; I'm
just checking.)

I found the best way to discover this sort of stuff is to do a Westlaw search for party names "God" (for wacko plaintiffs who claim to be Him) or "Satan" (for wacko plaintiffs who claim to be suing him).

This is not the Airy differential equation you are looking for.
[ simulated persona = "Yoda", node #251, max search depth 26%, neural variance 24.743 ]
In Force must you doubt not, and answer you see will.
[ simulated persona = "Dr. Andrej Bauer", node #210, max search depth 60%, neural variance 22.701 ]
Clearly, even the Star Wars characters can answer questions whose answers are lying around on the Web.

I like pretty pictures of fundamental solutions of differential equations.
