| − | ==Reaper==
| |
| − | I got 9th place in the longest game of Reaper, Game 18, and 16th in Game 19. In game 20, I was 20th. I also managed to get a score of 2797 in Boxy, the temporary game that existed on October 4th.

| − | ==negativebplusorminus==
| |
| − | My username is from the [[Quadratic formula | quadratic formula]], which states that the roots of the equation <math>ax^2+bx+c=0</math> are

| − | <cmath>x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}</cmath>

| − | ===Equation===
| |
| − | I derived that equation myself, and I am quite proud of it. I have a similar one for the fourth roots of <math>a+bi</math> which can be derived from inputting that equation into itself.
| |
| − | ==Notable Work==
| |
| − | Discovered <math>\sqrt{a+bi}</math> in terms of <math>a</math> and <math>b</math>, without trigonometry (not even using DeMoivre's theorems), and is noted for using mostly correct punctuation, capitalization, and spelling in the [[Art of Problem Solving]] classes (see [[AoPS Online School]] for how this classroom operates).
| |
| − | ==Spirographs==
| |
| − | I have created a great number of spirographs, each interesting and unique. They are contained on my blog. Below is a sample:
| |
| − | <asy>
| |
| − | string s="Spirograph by user negativebplusorminus of the Art of Problem Solving forum. Please to not plagiarize; it is illegal and insulting.";
| |
| − | import graph;
| |
| − | size(300);
| |
| − | string s="for(real t,real u){return t^2u^3, store as f};";
| |
| − | real f(real t) {return t+log(t^2+t^4+1);}
| |
| − | int p=15;
| |
| − | int n=45+p;

| |
| − | Welcome to the AoPSWiki! The AoPSWiki is a wiki (or a publicly editable online resource) project administered by the [[Art of Problem Solving]] for supporting educational content useful to avid math students. Unlike most online resources, the AoPSWiki is meant to be easily readable by even the least advanced student. Also, the AoPSWiki, being a wiki, can be edited by anyone!
| |
| − | | |
| − | AoPSWiki runs on the [[MediaWiki]] software.

| − | Also, here are some tasks you can do if you want to help out on the AoPSWiki:
| |
| − | * Write/edit articles.
| |
| − | * Upload an image. ([[Help:Images|Learn how]])
| |
| − | * Add information useful to students of [[problem solving]].
| |
| − | * [[AoPSWiki:Site support|Support the AoPSWiki]].
| |
| − | * Let others know about the AoPSWiki.
