Hi

I'm a CS and math major at Virginia Tech, currently a sophomore.  I am looking for a forum where I can ask some advanced questions.  Right now I am taking differential equations, multi variable calc, and intro to proofs, and next semester will be taking advanced calc, modern algebra, and linear algebra (two of which sound deceptively easy).  I tried looking through some posts on the forum, and it seems to be mostly lower level math, but there were a few higher calc questions.

For the most part, I am into theory based math, proofs.  I have been thinking about making a "request-a-proof" site, or something of the like, but if it turns to be like anything else I've created, it would be an udder flop (mostly due to lack of motivation).  So right now, I just do the ones that interest me.  For example, I never understood why x^0 (where x <> 0) was 1 until I proved it.  So if you have a proof you want to see, by all means, I'll give it my best shot.

I also started my programming career on a ti-83 doing basic, now becoming quite a master at it, so if anyone needs any help in making math programs, I could be of assistance.

Anyways, that's me in a nutshell.

Hi Ricky and welcome to the forum!

"Request-a-proof" ? ... wow ... there are a few unanswered proof requests already. Here, here, ... (in fact just do a search for "proof" in the "Help Me!" section)

Anyway, it sounds like it is going to be great having you here, Ricky.

Nice introduction, welcome Ricky!

Whatever help you need, you may post in 'Help me'.

Bit dangerous that one - I have a backlogged list of things for the website!
