noob mathematicians ;-p the total is essentially 0.
e^([pi]i) = -1
just like ln(-1)=[pi]i
i, indicates an imaginary number which has a few different calculations than real numbers. You can do it by hand, or just say ’screw it’ and use a TI-83 or equivalent.
∑1/2^n = 1
Even though beginners will translate it as .999… that number is a fallacious number, and is thus translated as 1. (Just like 2/3 is equal to .666…, 3/3 = .999… AND 1)
And finally, when dealing with money, anything less than a cent, can NOT be rounded up to a cent. It is in fact rounded down.
Plan and simple, he gave them a check for nothing… and is refusing to pay his bill."
