Alright, just had my Calc II final today, and there were two questions I wasn't too sure of.

The first: ∫ ln(x)/(x^(1/2)) on the interval of 0 to 1 - does it converge? I'm fairly certain that l'hopitals' doesn't work here, as plugging in 0 would give negative infinity over 0. If it does converge, the definite integral should be around -4 if I did my math correctly.

The second problem: does the sequence (1 + 3/n)^2n converge? If so, what value does it converge to? I wasn't sure how to approach this one, though I figured that the number in the parenthesis is always going to be > 1, therefore raising it to an increasing power will give a number that doesn't converge...although as the sequence continues on it will head towards 1... heh I think I might have answered my own question there, I must've been thinking of series while doing the problem at first.

2) the single Oxgen atom is larger than the two Hydrogen atoms combined.
3) the one Oxygen has less pull on the electrons than the Hydrogens

Multiple bonds form because each atom in a molecule needs more than one electron to form an octet.
1) True

Santa is a bad imitation of our all knowing and wise Father/Mother GOD, but he is more user friendly, like the "Stay Fresh Dough Boy" in GHOST BUSTERS.

I think that is why RC's choose to pray to people like Mary instead of ("before") God.

It is not the Shaddow who "Knows what evil lurks in the heartss of men".

It is not Santa who "Knows if you've been bad or good".

GOD is a bit like the elephant in the room no one will talk about. Unbelievers CHOOSE not to see that this universe is God's calling card.

Be good,
Michael

At "Beyond Belief '07: Enlightenment 2.0" (http://thesciencenetwork.org/BeyondBelief2/) Prof. Peter Atkins made the case that, just as theology must step aside in view of the power of the scientific method, it is time for philosophy to do the same.
I have a lot of respect for Prof. Atkins. However, I am at heart both a philosopher and a scientist. Still, I do agree with him that much of philosophy is obfuscation, pessimism and just a damn nuisance!

I wonder what other scientists think of philosophy?

And to those scientists who are interested in philosophy: can you please point out those philosophers who are actually contributing usefully to human thought?

My mother's eyesight has progressively become worse over the last couple of years due to illness. She's a homebody, and can no longer drive so getting out is difficult. She is legally blind, but can still see to a degree. I want to find ways to keep her spirits up and her mind occupied but don't know what kinds of hobbies or crafts would be easy for her to do?

I can't remember if the wording is 100% correct, but the jist of it is
"Of all those who pray for peace, none prays more than the soldier. For he is the one who must fight the war."
Please make any neccessary corrections.
Thanks!

My husband and I were having a conversation yesterday and he was saying how when he gets older (he's 35) he is dreading having to go for a prostate examination. He was really whingeing about it and then I pointed out that I have been having periods since I was 13, I have given birth 3 times, I have to go for a smear test every 3 years and when I'M older I will have to go for a mammogram too. One little test he has to have, can you believe he is moaning about that ?

I just read in the news that the mother of the Omaha mall shooter apologized. What that is indeed a nice gesture, I think that he and only HE should be made accountable for his actions. What do the rest of you think...should parents be held responsible when adult children break the law?

He has a great, but fictitious, organization that goes around the country uncovering demon cops. I hope he has a priest with him to exorcise the demons, or does he need a white wizard? Or is it a black wizard? I never can keep that straight.

I read it in 1995 in my high school English class.
It starts out that this young boy is going to the "forgotten lands" or something like that. It seems as if it is set back in old times and it is a Native American coming of age journey. As the story progresses, you realize it is actually from the future, and he's going to the ruins of New York City after the nuclear war. Anyone know what I'm talking about???
