2. "RE: Typos"
In response to message #0

You are welcome. If I find any more typos, I will place them in this topic. No reply is necessary. https://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/midpoints.shtml "For odd n, the blue circle indicates one of the polygon's vertices. Once you move the cursor into the blue circle" "blue" (2 times) should be "red" (even though the red circle has 1 blue pixel at the center when problem is solved) |

>"the Stern-Brocot tree for which this property comes almost >for free" - "for" might be a typo (from?) but it may be the >proper way to say it. I think it is OK. I am talking of having a palindromic sequence of denominators. It may not be obvious for the Farey series, but it comes almost for free for the Stern-Brocot tree. >"from which it follows that the construction of the tree >preserves order" - it appears that the HTML code <center> is >not sandwiched off immedialy before this sentence, but it >may be on purpose. This I do not understand. P.S. Dear Vladimir: I receive pointers to typos on a regular basis. But no one has done so extensive testing as you are doing. I can't find words to express my gratitude. |

LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-03 AT 11:37 AM (EST) HTML code <center>It is OK. My browser was apparently in a bad state and not showing the page correctly (repeated attempts). Thank's for your gratitude, but I think I should be far more grateful to you (and not just me) for this wonderful website. And really, I do not purposefully search for typos, I just read the pages beacuse of curiosity and I happen to have an eye for typos (proof-reading scientific papers). HA!! 2 typos in this short message (just fixed). |

https://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/PaperFolding/index.shtml "Therefore, the creases BD1 and B1OD coincide" should be "Therefore, the creases BD1 and D1OD coincide" "B1OD does pass through the vertex B" should be "D1OD does pass through the vertex B" "Now, it's all straightforward. Ð B1BOB = Ð DB1B" Please point out that this is because creases L º DB1 and AB º OBB are parallel. I could not see it among all those parallel creases.

LAST EDITED ON Sep-14-03 AT 05:41 PM (EST) Please, Alex, accept my apology for leaving so many errors in the Four 3's post. 15 out of the 146 four 3's expressions were wrong - 11 typos and 4 expressions totally wrong. I checked very carefully all expressions and added the checking arithmetics. I am pretty sure that there are no more errors. For now, I am leaving the incorrect expressions in magenta, while the corrected expressions (each immediately below the corresponding error) are in green.Errors were in expressions for 28, 30 (2x), 33, 34, 39 (2x), 40, 42, 45 (2x), 46, 48, 66, and 69. These incorrect expressions have been copied to the table at https://www.cut-the-knot.org/arithmetic/funny/4_3.shtml . Incorrect expressions for the above 12 numbers (some with more than one incorrect expressions) are in red (please note that number 72 has all expressions correct, but one expression will be transfered from number 48):
28 33+3/3 = {3·3/.3-Ö3} = 33 + 3/3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!!)/3 - 3 30 3·3·3+3 = 3!·3! - 3 - 3 = 33 + 3! - 3 = 3·3·3 + 3 = (3·(3!)!! - 3!)/3 = (3!)3/3 - 3! 33 33-3+3 = 33/3·3 = 33 + 3 + 3 = 3!·3! - 3! + 3 = (3!)3!/3 - 3 = 3·Ö(3·(3!)!!) - 3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! + 3)/3 = (3!)3/3 - 3 34 33+3/3 = 3!·3! - 3!/3 = (3·(3!)!! + 3!)/3 39 33 + 3 + 3 = 3!·3! + 3! - 3 = (3!)!! - 33!/3 = (3!)3!/3 + 3 = 3·Ö(3·(3!)!!) + 3 = (3! + 3!)·3 - 3 = (3!)3/3 + 3 40 (3 + 3!/3)/3 = (3!)!! - 3! - 3!/3 = (3!)!! - (3!/3)3 = 3!/3·3!/.3 42 (3!)!! - 3·3 + 3 = 3!·3! + 3 + 3 = 3!·(3! + 3/3) = 33 + 3·3 = (3!)3/3 + 3! = 33/.3 - (3!)!! 45 (3!)!! + 3 - 3 + 3 = 3·(3! + 3!/3)!! 46 (3!)!! + 3 + 3/3 = (3 + 3)!! - 3!/3 = (3!)!! - Ö(3 + 3/3) = (3!)!! - Ö(3! - 3!/3) 48 (3!)!! + 3! - 3 - 3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! + (3!)!!)/3 = 3·Ö(3·(3!)!!) = 3·3·3! - 3! 66 33·3!/3 = 33 + 33 = (3!)!! + 3·3! - 3 = Ö(3·(3!)!!)·3! - 3! = 3·3!/.3 + 3! 69 (3!)!! + 3! + 3! + 3! = Ö(3·(3!)!!)·3! - 3 = (3!)!! + 33 - 3! = 33 + 3!·3! 72 3·3·(3!)!!/3! = (33 - 3)·3 = (3!)!! + 33 - 3 = 3!·3! + 3!·3! = (3!)3 - 3·(3!)!! = (3!)! - 3·(3!)3 = 3!·3!/.3 - (3!)!! = (3 + 3/3)!·3
Corrected expressions are in blue. One correct expression has been added for number 30. The incorrect expression for number 48 has been corrected and shifted to number 72:
28 33+3/3 = {3·3/.3-Ö3} = 33 + 3/3 = (Ö((3!)!!) + 3!·Ö((3!)!!)/Ö3 - 3 30 3·3·3+3 = 3!·3! - 3 - 3 = 33 + 3! - 3 = 3·3·3 + 3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! - 3!)/3 = (3!)!! - 3!·Ö(3·3) = (3!)3/3! - 3! 33 33-3+3 = 33/3·3 = 33 + 3 + 3 = 3!·3! - 3! + 3 = (3!)3!/3 - 3 = 3·Ö(3·(3!)!!) - 3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! + 3)/3 = (3!)3/3! - 3 34 33+3/3 = 3!·3! - 3!/3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! + 3!)/3 39 33 + 3 + 3 = 3!·3! + 3! - 3 = (3!)!! - 33!/3 = (3!)3!/3 + 3 = 3·Ö(3·(3!)!!) + 3 = (3! + 3!)·3 + 3 = (3!)3/3! + 3 40 (3 + 3!/3)!/3 = (3!)!! - 3! - 3!/3 = (3!)!! - (3!/3)3 = 3!/3·3!/.3 42 (3!)!! - 3·3 + 3 = 3!·3! + 3 + 3 = 3!·(3! + 3/3) = 33 + 3·3 = (3!)3/3! + 3! = 33/.3 - (3!)!! 45 (3!)!! + 3 - 3 - 3 = 3·(3 + 3!/3)!! 46 (3!)!! - 3 + 3/3 = (3 + 3)!! - 3!/3 = (3!)!! - Ö(3 + 3/3) = (3!)!! - Ö(3! - 3!/3) 48 (3!)!! + 3! - 3 - 3 = ((3!)!! + (3!)!! + (3!)!!)/3 = 3·3·3! - 3! 66 33·3!/3 = 33 + 33 = (3!)!! + 3! + 3! + 3! = Ö(3·(3!)!!)·3! - 3! = 3·3!/.3 + 3! 69 (3!)!! + 3·3! + 3 = Ö(3·(3!)!!)·3! - 3 = (3!)!! + 33 - 3! = 33 + 3!·3! 72 3·3·(3!)!!/3! = (33 - 3)·3 = (3!)!! + 33 - 3 = 3!·3! + 3!·3! = (3!)3 - 3·(3!)!! = (3!)! - 3·(3!)3 = (3 + 3)·Ö(3·(3!)!!) = 3!·3!/.3 - (3!)!! = (3 + 3/3)!·3
As for the four 5's post, that's about 300 expressions. I already checked them twice, but I still found some minor errors. I have to do it until I find none. Once more, I am sorry for causing you this trouble. Vladimir |

22. "RE: Typos"
In response to message #19

LAST EDITED ON Sep-14-03 AT 07:15 PM (EST) Curious: this is the third time I am trying to respond to your post. If it'succeeds, I'll assume that attaching a zip file causes a problem.Seems that this is indeed a problem. I thus leave one of the failed messages for you to collect the zip. The idea of the response was simple. Could you please type directly into my pages (which are in the zip). Would save me a huge amount of time which I do not currently have either. Many thanks, Alex |

At https://www.cut-the-knot.org/ctk/ICME.shtml (Quite a way down, just before a quote):Current research also covers classroom communication, social, cultural, and linguistic influences on the teaching and learning of mathematics, and of course its assessment. According to Ness, 'Ness' should be 'Niss' Thankyou sfwc <>< |
