Recently, I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. How do I check if it has installed 16.04 LTS? What is its name? Release Date? Expiry Date?
I installed some version of Ubuntu on my VMware, but I don't know what version exactly it is. How can I find it out?
Let $F$ be a field and let $a \neq 0$ be a zero of the polynomial $a_0 + a_1x + . . . +a_nx^n$ in $F[x]$.  I want to show that $\frac{1}{a}$ is a zero of the polynomial $a_n + a_{n-1}x + . . . + a_0x^n$  How can I do this? smallest number for given sum of digits Strategies to denest nested radicals $\sqrt{a+b\sqrt{c}}$ I have recently read some passage about nested radicals, I'm deeply impressed by them. Simple nested radicals $\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}$,$\sqrt{3-2\sqrt{2}}$ which the later can be denested into $1-\sqrt{2}$. This may be able to see through easily, but how can we denest such a complicated one $\sqrt{61-24\sqrt{5}}(=4-3\sqrt{5})$? And Is there any ways to judge if a radical in $\sqrt{a+b\sqrt{c}}$ form can be denested?  Mr. Srinivasa Ramanujan even suggested some CRAZY nested radicals such as: $$\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{2}-1},\sqrt{\sqrt[3]{28}-\sqrt[3]{27}},\sqrt{\sqrt[3]{5}-\sqrt[3]{4}}, \sqrt[3]{\cos{\frac{2\pi}{7}}}+\sqrt[3]{\cos{\frac{4\pi}{7}}}+\sqrt[3]{\cos{\frac{8\pi}{7}}},\sqrt[6]{7\sqrt[3]{20}-19},...$$ Amazing, these all can be denested. I believe there must be some strategies to denest them, but I don't know how.  I'm a just a beginner, can anyone give me some ideas? Thank you. VMware won't work after Ubuntu Upgrade I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 and now if I want to open VMware Player it doesn't do anything. I also uninstalled and installed it again, still nothing.  What can I do? I have forgotten my Facebook account password and also I have no access to the number which I use to log-in to Facebook account.   On this page (see the image below) they are asking for a government photo-ID to verify my account. The problem is that I don't have a driving license, voter ID card, passport etc. All I have is a school ID card but that hasn't worked for me. Is there any other way to recover my password? Let's say I have a document that has many pages and some pages have different formats. For example, most of the pages are fine with \documentclass{article} but there may be pages in the middle that I want to be \documentclass{letter}. I want my letter pages to be numbered inline with the other pages and have them show up in the Table of Contents.   Is it possible to change the class used for an individual or range of pages while still keeping things like page numbering consistent across them?   EDIT I'm trying to create a "welcome to the company" sort of document that has a cover page, table of contents, welcome letter, then various sections of information. I've never tried this in anything other than a word processor where it's easy to set "master pages" or "template pages" for individual pages in the document. So I could use a letterhead template page for the welcome letter part and a standard article-type template for the rest and still have the letter numbered/referenced in the ToC.   So the idea was to take advantage of the classes written, if possible, rather than have to format a single page by hand differently from the rest. What does "calculus" mean? "calculus" and "formal system"  From      a calculus is a formal system that consists of          a set of syntactic expressions (well-formed formulæ or wffs),    a distinguished subset of these expressions (axioms), plus    a set of formal rules that define a specific binary relation on the space of expressions.      From      Formal systems in mathematics consist of the following elements:         A finite set of symbols (i.e. the alphabet), that can be used for constructing formulas (i.e. finite strings of symbols).   A grammar, which tells how well-formed formulas (abbreviated wff) are constructed out of the symbols in the alphabet. It is   usually   required that there be a decision procedure for deciding whether a   formula is well formed or not.   A set of axioms or axiom schemata: each axiom must be a wff.   A set of inference rules.      what is the difference between a formal system, and a calculus, then? I think they are the same? "calculus" and "logic system"  "Calculus" appears in "propositional calculus" and "first-order predicate calculus", which are also called "propositional logic" and "first-order logic" respectively. So I thought "calculus" and "logic" mean the same, and "a logic" is, according to ,      A logical system or, for short, logic, is a formal system together with a form of semantics, usually in the form of model-theoretic   interpretation, which assigns truth values to sentences of the   formal language, that is, formulae that contain no free variables.    But then I saw "calculus" also appears in "lambda calculus", which is also a formal system. I think a lambda calculus isn't a logic system, right? What does "calculus" mean in "lambda calculus"? Furthermore  "calculus" can also mean computational real analysis for first-year college students.   Thanks.

By 'hunting down', I mean finding, defeating and imprisoning him, exactly as in Gridelwald's case, and not, say killing him, something which Dumbledore would not do, as the answers to a previous question (as to him not hunting down Death Eaters) show.  Dumbledore knew that Voldemort had delved into the Dark Arts deeper than anyone else in history and hence "had powers he will never have". But he must have also known well that he could have defeated Voldemort at a direct confrontation, given that he had defeated Grindelwald earlier even against the Elder Wand, and now had that same wand at his disposal. He is seen confident about this throughout the series.  At the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he did not go beyond outweighing Voldemort and forcing him to flee, probably because, by then, he had reasons to suspect that there was more to Voldemort's survival than his physical body, and thus, destroying that body which had Harry's blood without permanently disposing him off would not have been wise.  But why did he not do that at the First Wizarding War? Is it just that they could not track him down, or did he suspect even then that Voldemort had more sinister things about his soul? is there any canon confirmation of the latter suspicion? Creating Layer in GeoServer using REST As part of a possible solution to   I want create a layer in GeoServer via REST that supplies a SQL statement along with a userid. I think i would  and publish it. I need to do this all in REST. Does anyone have any code examples? The impression that I got from the  films was that if  was successful, most of the world was going to suffer greatly. Basically everyone would serve Voldemort as slaves or die. So what's the point of serving someone who's probably going to ultimately end up betraying and/or enslaving you? I know the  hated , but is that really enough to justify tearing down Wizard society? Why exactly do the Death Eaters serve Lord Voldemort? Fear? Is the post-Voldemort world not that bad? (I for one welcome our ) Replacing non-English characters in attribute tables using ArcPy and Python? I have a few shapefiles where some of the attributes contain the non-English characters ÅÄÖ. Since some queries doesn't work with these characters (specifically ), I tried to change them in advance with a simple script and add the new strings to another field.  However, change in characters works fine but not updating the field with arcpy.UpdateCursor.   What is an appropriate way of solving this?  I have also tried to do this via the Field Calculator while posting "code" to the codeblock, with the same error.

Any suggestions on what might cause this? using $$ in a post causes strange number series to appear I remember (vaguely) reading somewhere that it is wrong to use the present perfect when the subject of a sentence is someone who is long dead:     *Einstein has visited the Philippines.   My question is, What if the dead person is not the subject but an object:     Leo is the best president our country has/had ever had.

X,Y,Z missing in F3 What are the possible catch bonuses and how much experience do they reward? I found , earlier, and found out that I can throw a curveball at pokémon to earn an increased experience bonus.  I have since noticed two more bonuses: "Great" and "Nice". I had assumed the bonuses were for throwing a pokéball with the 'catch circle' closer to the center, which according to the FAQ, increases the chances of actually catching the pokémon.  However, I have since noticed that the 'catch circle' is actually bigger in cases where I have earned a "Great" bonus. Despite appearing to be a less powerful throw, I earn more experience than when I earn a "Nice" bonus. "Great" nets me 50 experience, while "Nice" only nets 10 experience.  What are the possible catch bonuses, and how much experience do they reward?  For bonus points, every so often I am awarded an additional 10 experience points that are not accounted for on the experience screen. The screen lists my bonuses, and tells me how much experience I have earned, but I am clearly rewarded additional experience when it is added to my player. Assuming this is another catch bonus, what could this be? Can I find out which tags I have created? This would be interesting to know.  The tags could be highlighted on the users page for example.
