This thread ended up working out fairly well when it existed over at httptalk.com . since i don't have alot of time to post over at httptalk anymore, i am now available here at wht for whatever questions you have.

Here is the original "ask ub3r" introduction that was posted over there, the same rules apply here on this thread.

it has come to my attention that i am smarter than the average bear.

Ask me a question, and i will give you an answer.


Because people often abuse these types of situations, the rules are as follows

no personal questions, unless you are asking for advice, don't ask me something stupid like "who am i dating right now?" or "what am i thinking of right now?", each of those questions are played out.
You are limited to a maximum of 3 questions per day
No, i will not do your homework



with that being said, let the questions begin.

Please give the proper name for the following identity:

Please also give the proper name for the following theorem:

Since the above two were extremely easy for most advanced mathematics people, I figured you might enjoy a challenge too.

Name the theorem which the following image is the first step of the proof:

And no, this is not homework for myself or anyone I know.

Better, how do you make cat go "woof". IT IS possible.

What if I answer, is the same up for me?

I know the last one, just the first two I have to brush up on.

Well basically if anyone (excluding iNET staff) can answer all 3 before ub3r can, then the contest woudl be over.... But the prize would be limited to the 'smarter than the average bear' ub3r.

If anyone can answer all three questions correctly before ub3r and before his time runs out, I will give away a prize personally, seperate from anything iNET does. Retail value of the prize is $150.

Light it on fire and it will go "woof!" (sound of the hair being engulfed in flames)... its a joke with poor taste.

I'm just curious about your SIG... what is the purpose of linking to WHT in your WHT signature, other than possibly improving google/alexa rating? Seems kind of redundant to me.

1) euler's identity
2) de moivre's theorem
3) downsampling theorem

You been taking a digital signal processing courses lately?

brings back memories.... horrible, memories.... but memories nonetheless.

First: Complex exponential form

Second: De Moivre's Theorem

Third: The Discrete Fourier Transform

Bah, looks like alpha got it.

You are 100% correct and thus the winner. PM me and I will let you know about your prize. I am very impressed to say the least.

P.S. - I have never taken any DFT/DSP classes in my life, just something interesting to me which I knew would stump ub3r.

I got the First one the Complex exponential form ie euler's identity
which is to help with figureing out response of LTI Systems to Complex Exponentials Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT). DTFT Properties Convolution Property such as output of another function related gives us : y[n]given by y[n]= x[n] * h[n] and so useing B. yEuler's identity: y,e j! n=cos( !n )+jsin(!n ) we can impliy that for any ! and n, ej !n is a point on the unit circle in the complex plane. although we must note that ej !n is not necessarily periodic in n (the reasoning is the same as with at real discrete sinusoids).

Second: De Moivre's Theorem... i found out alpha won just as i was about to type the answer but anyways... well done alpha :D congrats :)

alpha

Well, I'm not 100% sure I got it really.

I've used/saw those formulas or proof in several different courses. Some of them had varying names depending upon how its used.

I remember using it in my DSP course as well as an advanced mathematics/combinatorics course. Two different courses, related mathematically of course but it's still a different context.

We'll see ;)

edit: wow, im a slow poster.

Integration via Simpson's rule... or is it Trapezoidal rule?

I think it's simpson's rule because of the h/6...

Well my friend is feeding me this:
nope
but very close
keep googlin

:blush: those are the only two concepts I remember for estimating an integral.

Nowadays, of course, I just use a graphing calculator. :agree:

1. How do i get rid of this pesky lump on my bottom?

2. Will I ever have a vacation? Perhaps a weekend off?

3. What are your thoughts on the String Theory? Do you believe this theory could be valid? Why or why not?

ok next question.

Prove to me that this "." <--- full stop here. Does not exsist. It can be proven... ( i think i randomly goto university too often and sit in on random lectures :/ )

If anyone wants to offer a prize then feel free... you have untill i come back online tomorrow.... may the force be with you.

A few questions for ub3r...

1. How do I use the reputation thingy on vB3?

2. Where does chocolate milk come from?

3. Who did the original version of the song "I Will Always Love You?"
