problemSierpinski Triangle
What is the total area of the triangles remaining in the nth stage of constructing a Sierpinski Triangle? Work out the dimension of this fractal. -
problemStirling Work
See how enormously large quantities can cancel out to give a good approximation to the factorial function. -
problemComplex Sine
Solve the equation sin z = 2 for complex z. You only need the formula you are given for sin z in terms of the exponential function, and to solve a quadratic equation and use the logarithmic function. -
