    Stop being lazy, lol Learn to crawl carefully, then start to walk, then start to run, then keep running until you eventually fly. Never run before you walk, never walk before you crawl. Do not crawl or walk if it is too easy or you will not be able to run. The above advice can be applied to...

    What about |x + y| < |x| + |y| Let y = -y, |x - y| < |x| + |-y| = |x| + |y|?

    Thanks for reminding the second time. I thought I remembered my double angles... Thanks. Yep, it wouldn't do much harm because we will then use triangle-inequality!

    Let's start here \left|\frac{\sin ^2 \left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}{2x^2} - \frac{1}{2} \right| = \frac{1}{2}\left|\frac{\sin ^2 \left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}{x^2} - 1 \right| Apply triangle-inequality to get \leq \frac{1}{2}\left|\frac{\sin ^2 \left(\frac{x}{2} \right)}{x^2}\right|...

    With these types of proofs, you choose \delta at the end ^_^ Suppose the general formula: \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L. Then \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists \delta > 0 $ such that $ 0 < |x-a| < \delta \Rightarrow |f(x) - L| < \epsilon. $You simplify $|f(x) - L| < \epsilon $, because this is what...

    \forall \epsilon > 0, \exists \delta > 0 $ such that $ 0 < |x-0| < \delta \Rightarrow \left|\frac{1- \cos x}{x^2} - \frac{1}{2}\right| < \epsilon Choose \delta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\epsilon}} , then we have 0 < |x| < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\epsilon}}. Now \left|\frac{1- \cos x}{x^2} -...

    Is Kurt Mathematics Centre good?

    It happened to be that Kurt's teaching methods aligned with Crobat's learning methods. How about the rest of the population at Kurt's? This is a rare ability unless you consider the whole sample size. I'm thinking that you think that something also clicks for every (or most) student who...
