Saw this and thought it was pretty funny, but was wondering how much the check was really worth?

I guess it's .2 cents..? Amusingly enough the 0.002 part is the most puzzling.

e^(i*pi) = -1 and the summation is, I believe, 1. Therefore, the answer would be .002.

The memo is fantastic.

Code:

kopunch% math
Mathematica 5.2 for Linux x86 (64 bit)
Copyright 1988-2005 Wolfram Research, Inc.
 -- Terminal graphics initialized -- 

In[1]:= 0.002 + E^(I*Pi) + Sum[1/(2^n), {n, Infinity}]

Out[1]= 0.002

Good ol' Mathematica. I dig that program.

ZOMG....Maths ftw...45,000,000,001 guys....does it exist? lawl

You guys all get up too early.

And Maple > Mathematica.

More cats fighting, please.

Pika.

That image is the product of one of my all-time favorite ytmnd's. It is hilarious but somewhat long. Well worth the time though.

Mathematica has better pictures, nyah. [color=#000000;background:#000000]And I can't remember Maple syntax at all.[/color]

But those whom we're using cannot think. They are the dead. Brought to a simulated life by our electrode guns. You know, it's an interesting thing when you consider...the Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot: the dead.
