I need shapefiles of Indian states that of 2011 which has almost 671 districts of India. Can anyone please help me?
I need a shapefile for India which is up-to-date to display the regional borders. By up-to-date (in 2014), I mean that it includes Telangana as a state. Many shapefiles that I downloaded do not have Telangana as a state as it was partitioned a month ago, it is displayed as part of Andhrapradesh.  So I need the latest shapefile.
What does this $\asymp$ symbol mean? (subject: analytic number theory) I'm reading a  by Andrew Granville on analytic number theory.  On page 22 of the paper, there appears a strange looking symbol, undefined.  I've circled it in red in the screenshot below.    Since it's not defined in the paper, I'm assuming it must be standard notation.   From the context, I'm assuming it means something like "as compared to", or "with reference to", but that's just a guess.  Can anyone identify the symbol, even better explain what it means and/or provide a reference?  Is there a name to speak the symbol?  Thanks in advance. Longtable: page breaks within row possible? I am editing a longtable. Some of my cells contain a lot of text. Page breaks seem to happen only where table rows end/begin. I'd like, however, for the rows to span pages; it's fine with me if, for example, the first few lines of a row are at the end of one page and the rest of the row's lines are on the next page. Where to start with the Star Wars books? How to check if Receiver is registered in Android? OS: Windows 7. I want install Linux Ubuntu on portable external Hard Drive USB 2.0. I read a variety of methods, but I'm confused by contradictory advices and methods. Actually, installing Ubuntu on anything other than clean PC looks much more complicated than installing Windows. I need to have Ubuntu package + Python 2.7 + C compiler installed. My external hard drive is partially filled, I need to keep all files.   Will Ubuntu run entirely on external hardrive, without writing anythinhg to Windows system folders and to registry?  Can anyone post detailed guide how install Ubuntu on external hard drive? $f(x)f(1/x)=f(x)+f(1/x)$ Find a function $f(x)$ such that:  $$f(x)f(1/x)=f(x)+f(1/x)$$  with $f(4)=65$.  I have tried to let $f(x)$ be a general polynomial: $$a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\ldots a_nx^n$$  which leaves $f(1/x)$ as:  $$a_0+a_1{1\over x}+a_2{1\over x^2}+\ldots + a_n{1\over x^n}$$  On comparing the coefficients of both sides, we see that:  $$2a_0=(a_0)^2+(a_1)^2+(a_2)^2+\ldots+(a_n)^2$$  And  $$a_1=(a_0a_1)+(a_1a_2)+ \ldots +(a_{n-1}a_n)$$  I don't know how to proceed further. I know I need to compare coefficients and come to a conclusion based on their values, but I don't see what to do next. As a lab assignment I have to replicate experiment with spring oscillations, and eventually calculate spring constant. The measurements I took are: spring displacement from equilibrium $x$, mass of weights $m$, and period $T$. And presumed uncertainties: $\Delta_\alpha(x)=1[mm]$, $\Delta_e(x)=2[mm]$,  $\Delta_\alpha(t)=0.1[s]$,  $\Delta_e(t)=1[s]$. Where $\alpha$ stands for uncertainty of used equipment, and $e$ is readings uncertainty made by me.  I calculated the standard uncertainty using this formula: $$\sqrt\frac{\Delta_\alpha(x)^2+\Delta_e(x)^2}{3}$$ Which produced $u(x)=1.29[mm]$. Then using the following substitutions:  $$F=kx$$ $$mg=kx$$ $$x=\frac{g}{k}m$$ I assert that:  $$tan(a)=\frac{g}{k}$$  Because in this part of experiment I plotted $x=f(m)$, using excel's linest, I get the slope $s$  $$tan(a)=\frac{g}{k}=s$$  Now, my question is, since I had uncertainty for $x$ introduced, and it is used to compute $tan(a)$, then the latter is affected and should have uncertainty of itself? How in this case should I go about propagating uncertainty to $tan(a)$? How do you do load testing and capacity planning for web sites?

Explaining Infinite Sets and The Fault in Our Stars In watching The Fault in Our Stars I could not help but cringe at a line that flew in the face of mathematics and subsequently ruined the movie for me:     "There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities." - John Green   While walking out of the theater I tried to explain to my friends why there were, in fact, exactly the same amount of numbers between 0 and 1 as 0 and 2, but Cantor and bijective functions are not great learning tools to English majors.  Does anybody have an eloquent or elegant way to enumerate this phenomenon using an example accessible to those not familiar with advanced mathematics? Why do I get TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'?
