    Last movie you watched? And what you thought of it?

    Nope. I was wrong. I went back and had another look. It was "Tom Servo" who said it voiced by Kevin Murphy. It was from mst3k s03e19.

    Last movie you watched? And what you thought of it?

    War of the Colossal Beast mst3k version mst3k can be annoying at first but it gets more enjoyable the more you watch it. Like when the collossal beast (giant man) litereraly picks up a bus and the mst3k crew interrupt saying "Hold the bus." I thought that was funny. Can't remember but I think...

    How to find shortest distance between a point and a vector with projections?

    Well if you really must use projections, you can use the formula \begin{aligned}d&=|{\bf p}-{\bf a}-\text{Proj}_{\bf n}({\bf p}-{\bf a})|\\&=\textstyle|-{\bf i}-4{\bf j}-6{\bf k}-\frac{(-{\bf i}-4{\bf j}-6{\bf k})\boldsymbol{\cdot}(2{\bf i}+{\bf j}+{\bf k})}{|2{\bf i}+{\bf j}+{\bf k}|^2}(2{\bf...

    How to find shortest distance between a point and a vector with projections?

    \text{Well }6\lambda^2+24\lambda+53\text{ is a quadratic } \text{For }a>0\text{ the quadratic }a\lambda^2+b\lambda+c\text{ is minimum when }\lambda=\frac{-b}{2a}

    How to find shortest distance between a point and a vector with projections?

    I wouldn't use projections. Method 1 (without finding the minimum distance) \text{If }d=\text{minimum distance then} d^2=(1+2\lambda)^2+(4+\lambda)^2+(6+\lambda)^2=6\lambda^2+24\lambda+53 \text{and }\lambda=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-24}{2\times6}=-2 \text{Point is...

    complex number stuffs

    There is yet a third even quicker way using the hyperbolic cotangent method, which is outside the syllabus, but actually much easier: (z+1)^{2n}+(z-1)^{2n}=0\Rightarrow(z+1)^{2n}=-(z-1)^{2n}\text{ and since }z\ne1, \textstyle\left(\frac{z+1}{z-1}\right)^{2n}=-1=e^{i(2k+1)\pi}\text{ for integers...

    complex number stuffs

    Rather than explain the rather long solution to 15a, here is a shorter solution instead: (z+1)^{2n}+(z-1)^{2n}=0\Rightarrow(z+1)^{2n}=-(z-1)^{2n}\text{ and since }z\ne1, \textstyle\left(\frac{z+1}{z-1}\right)^{2n}=-1=e^{i(2k+1)\pi}\text{ for integers }k.\...

    complex number stuffs

    These are Cambridge Ext 2 Ex 3C Q13-15 Here the solutions to 13b,c,14c,15a. I included 13b too because the solution to 13c refers to part of the solution to 13b .

    Barbie or Oppenheimer?

    Not as famous, but better is a documentary which came out a few days before the Oppenheimer movie called "To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb" I thought that was better than the movie
