It is 131901. You are welcome

just graduated from german highschool and everyone with advanced math class should be able to solve this....

MrKanister · 4 points · 11 years ago

naja ganz so simpel ist es nun auch wieder nicht

lolnix · 5 points · 11 years ago

einfach nicht, aber man sollte es schaffen können :)
Zumindest im Leistungskurs hatte man alle Operationen und mit ein bisschen Zeit und Geduld ist das lösbar :)

It gets easier when you realise that many of the factors even out to 0 or simply vanish since quite often an expression is subtracted from its own series expansion.
(e.g. \sum_{k=0}^{\inf} \frac{1}{k!} - e)
Also, many functions are antisymmetric and are integrated over a symmetrical interval around 0, so they also even out.

Well you'd end up with a number and a bunch of unknown variables so GG lol

Well I have, what it needs to solve it. It's called Mathematica. Should I call? -.-

I'll just use the phone book, thanks.

why does the air force need engineers for? i thought they buy their stuff from other companys, unless you mean the blow-stuff-up-kind of engineer, then they just need to go to the army

MrSheenHimself · 3 points · 11 years ago

maintenance is still their own responsibility, and you better understand how your plane works

Dude... I pity you for the brain god gave you..

Panzerfan · 1 points · 11 years ago

do you mean technician by engineer?
then it would certainly make sense
my brother is in the swiss air force as Helicopter Ground Crew and we don't design our own planes, even in the cold war civilian engineers did that, even the complicated stuff is done by professinal civilian technicians in our army (Armasuisse, RUAG)
if the americans, or somebody else has engineers that are employed by the military, ok i didn't know, i only wanted to know why...

Well for a start, that page is for the Australian Air force, where I'm from... Note the red kangaroo logo. Secondly, I thought it was common knowledge, especially for family of air force members, that mathematics is a generally required skill for the air force.

Panzerfan · 1 points · 11 years ago

sorry, i didn't notice the kangaroo
but the swiss air force is like the army largley milita-based, and i still don't know what your air force engineers do, i mean an engineer is developing new products, and as far as i know in most countrys the military is the costumer an not the producer
