The "Are You a Genius Poll"

[웃 910]

Do you understand the following? If so, then you are a genius. If not, sorry, you are no genius. Thank you for taking the poll.

Definition of a nontotient:

(mathematics) An integer that is never a solution to Euler's totient function

The first fifty even nontotients are 14, 26, 34, 38, 50, 62, 68, 74, 76, 86, 90, 94, 98, 114, 118, 122, 124, 134, 142, 146, 152, 154, 158, 170, 174, 182, 186, 188, 194, 202, 206, 214, 218, 230, 234, 236, 242, 244, 246, 248, 254, 258, 266, 274, 278, 284, 286, 290, 298, 302

Do you understand?

If not, you need to read up on Euler's totient function

Computing Euler's function (incomplete, please see link below for rest of the formulas, I know you are eager to do so!)

If p is prime, then for integer . Moreover, is a multiplicative function; if m and n are coprime then . (Sketch of proof: let A, B, C be the sets of residue classes modulo-and-coprime-to m, n, mn respectively; then there is a bijection between A × B and C, by the Chinese remainder theorem.) The value of can thus be computed using the fundamental theorem of arithmetic: if

where each p_i is a distinct prime, then

This last formula is an Euler product and is often written in the equivalent form(multiplying top and bottom by )

with the product ranging only over the distinct primes p dividing n.

I don't need your post to know I'm not a genius!

Gah.

Do you understand it, OP?

I have a limited understanding of Euler curves. In computer animation, you can select how the software will calculate the curves:

Euler angles When interpolating the animated rotations of an object using the Euler method, Maya uses Euler angles to determine the object's axis-specific orientations over time. Euler rotations are calculated using three separate angles representing rotations about the X, Y, and Z axes, and an order of rotation.

The rotation order specifies the order in which an animated object is rotated about its X, Y, and Z axes. Changing an animated object's rotation order changes its final orientation. You can specify the order of rotation for an object by setting its Rotate Order attribute. For example, if you set an animated object's Rotate Order to YZX, the object will first rotate in Y, then Z, and finally X. You can use the Rotate Order attribute to match the rotation order of imported, animated objects to the co-ordinate systems (for example, XZY opposed to Maya's default XYZ) of the 3D software packages from which they came. This is important if you want the animated rotations of your imported objects to appear as intended.

In Maya, the default method of rotation interpolation is Euler.

Aha, si man... but I bet that the lordly, infamous OP doesn't know what Canandaigua is, no man! And did he answer the "Wedgies" poll, huh man?

2 outta 3? flawed poll, alas, only allows for 1 answer.

I already know I'm not a genius

I concur.

You don't have to be a genius to understand advanced mathematical concepts. I studied that in college, of course I don't remember it now, but could learn it again.

Oh, and by the way, this is a flawed poll, genius.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Einstein would have loved PDA's, because he couldn't remember squat. Most of his work was done through mental experiments, the math came later.

Don't hate the genius, hate the brain!
