I imagine that in just a few years, 50% of the people on earth will have a virtual AI helper.

Math is immutable truth, and it’s everywhere in physics, chemistry, statistics, and engineering, subjects that I love.

I haven’t played poker for many years, but I thought I might get back into it, so I decided to write out a few theorems for myself that might be useful.

In part 1, I presented a proof that sin(2°)/2 > sin(3°)/3 using only trigonometry.

In part 1, I proved that sin(2°)/2> sin(3°)/3 using trigonometry.

Often functions are defined or approximated by infinitely long sums which can be thought of as polynomials with an infinite degree.

A few days ago, I wrote several proofs that $\sin(2°)/2 > \sin(3°)/3$.

So, on Reddit, user Straight-Ad-7750 posted the question, “Which is bigger without using a calculator: $\frac{\sin(2°)}{2}$ or $\frac{\sin(3°)}{3}$?”

This post can also be found in a nicer format at GitHub (LaTex), Github blog format, and Reddit.
