Plotting: Basic Question
How to manipulate 2D plots?
Keep only essential packages "as much as you and I" vs. "as much as you and me" I have two systems installed previously Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I was trying to reinstall Ubuntu and format the Ubuntu OS partition using a tool in Windows 7.   When I have Ubuntu ready on a USB stick and restart my laptop, it prompts me with the GRUB rescue screen. If I boot from USB to install Ubuntu, it just hangs.   Anyway, I messed up everything. So my question is how can I boot Windows 7 now? I have a particular situation here, In March of 1997 I travelled to the US as a tourist and lived there illegally for almost 9 years. I was never arrested, or had any trouble with the law, I was never deported. I paid my taxed (had a TFN) had a job, bank account bought a house, etc. About 9 years ago I decided to leave as I was tired of living like that, not able to be legal, in fear of deportation and loosing everything. I also got married (to a person in the exact situation as me) we were able to legally migrate to Australia and now we are Australian citizens. We never returned our I-94s and in 2005 left through Mexico (walked through the border) so there are no records of us ever leaving. We have lived here in Australia for over 9 years.  OK so my question is... We have been thinking we would like to visit our friends and family back in the US now that we have a little girl. Is there any chance they won't let us in because they know we overstayed? We would be travelling with our Australian passports. Is “ ’s ” ever correct for pluralization? A relatively modern dictionary (I don’t know which one, because we’ve cut out the pages and used them as wallpaper in our bathroom, but I know it’s less than 20 years old) indicates that R’s is one correct pluralization of R, as is Rs, but whichever dictionary this is, it’s kind of a no-name brand, so I’m not sure I trust it.  I’ve always wondered what the best way was to pluralize single letters or numerals, like 2’s or 2s.  What’s correct? Having trouble setting up a nginx web server on Amazon EC2 I posted what I think is a clever answer to:    But then I noticed the question was posted a while ago on Mar 2.  I wanted to see what the chance of the user logging back in and seeing my answer, but the  says the user was seen on Feb 19.  I thought this was supposed to be the date they last logged in? How could they have asked a question on Mar 2 if they haven't logged in since February?  Thanks How to make a standalone document with one equation? I am trying to mimic our institute's PPt-template for presentation foils using the beamer-class. The corporate quidelines prescribe the use of Helvetica as the main font. However, package helvet does not provide a good mathematical font. Therefore I want to replace it with the math font from the cmbright package:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  %main font Helevtica \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \usepackage{helvet}  %prevent beamer from meddling with math fonts \usefonttheme{professionalfonts}  %following lines borrowed from cmbright.sty \DeclareSymbolFont      {operators} {OT1}{cmbr}{m}{n} \DeclareSymbolFont        {letters} {OML}{cmbrm}{m}{it} \SetSymbolFont      {letters}{bold} {OML}{cmbrm}{b}{it} \DeclareSymbolFont        {symbols} {OMS}{cmbrs}{m}{n} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathit} {OT1}{cmbr}{m}{sl} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbf} {OT1}{cmbr}{bx}{n} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathtt} {OT1}{cmtl}{m}{n} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathbold}{OML}{cmbrm}{b}{it} \DeclareMathSymbol{\alpha}{\mathalpha}{letters}{11} \DeclareMathSymbol{\beta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{12} \DeclareMathSymbol{\gamma}{\mathalpha}{letters}{13} \DeclareMathSymbol{\delta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{14} \DeclareMathSymbol{\epsilon}{\mathalpha}{letters}{15} \DeclareMathSymbol{\zeta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{16} \DeclareMathSymbol{\eta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{17} \DeclareMathSymbol{\theta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{18} \DeclareMathSymbol{\iota}{\mathalpha}{letters}{19} \DeclareMathSymbol{\kappa}{\mathalpha}{letters}{20} \DeclareMathSymbol{\lambda}{\mathalpha}{letters}{21} \DeclareMathSymbol{\mu}{\mathalpha}{letters}{22} \DeclareMathSymbol{\nu}{\mathalpha}{letters}{23} \DeclareMathSymbol{\xi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{24} \DeclareMathSymbol{\pi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{25} \DeclareMathSymbol{\rho}{\mathalpha}{letters}{26} \DeclareMathSymbol{\sigma}{\mathalpha}{letters}{27} \DeclareMathSymbol{\tau}{\mathalpha}{letters}{28} \DeclareMathSymbol{\upsilon}{\mathalpha}{letters}{29} \DeclareMathSymbol{\phi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{30} \DeclareMathSymbol{\chi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{31} \DeclareMathSymbol{\psi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{32} \DeclareMathSymbol{\omega}{\mathalpha}{letters}{33} \DeclareMathSymbol{\varepsilon}{\mathalpha}{letters}{34} \DeclareMathSymbol{\vartheta}{\mathalpha}{letters}{35} \DeclareMathSymbol{\varpi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{36} \DeclareMathSymbol{\varrho}{\mathalpha}{letters}{37} \DeclareMathSymbol{\varsigma}{\mathalpha}{letters}{38} \DeclareMathSymbol{\varphi}{\mathalpha}{letters}{39} \let\upDelta\Delta \let\upOmega\Omega \let\upGamma\Gamma \let\upTheta\Theta \let\upLambda\Lambda \let\upXi\Xi \let\upPi\Pi \let\upSigma\Sigma \let\upUpsilon\Upsilon \let\upPhi\Phi \let\upPsi\Psi  %doesn't seem to have an effect %\DeclareMathSizes{12}{12.5}{10}{10}  \begin{document} \begin{frame}  Some Math E$E$ \end{frame} \end{document}   This works quite well, except that the math letters are somewhat smaller than the normal Helvetica text. Is there a way to scale the fontsize, say by 1.1, if the typesetter is in math mode? Is there a way to get DateTime value from timestamp type column? Assumptions of linear regression What does the "private" modifier do? Considering "private" is the default access modifier for class Members, why is the keyword even needed? I am trying to find the formula for the number $f(n,k)$ which is defined as the number of $k$-subsets of $[n]$ in which no two elements are consecutive numbers in $[n]$.  From the simple thinking I had made up following recursion:  $$f(n,k) = f(n-1,k) + f(n-2, k-1) $$  This is true since I can construct without last element of $[n]$ then make up $k$-subsets, then otherwise must contain the last element of $[n]$ then construct remaining $k-1$ elements among $[n-2]$ since with the last one, I can't use $n-1$.  However, I had never learned any techniques regarding changing those recursion into a well-summarized formula in terms of $n$ and $k$.  Any guidance would be appreciate. Choosing research ideas to include in a statement of purpose Why $\sum_{k=0}^m x^k $ is equal to $\dfrac{x^{m+1}-1}{x-1} $? Who can help me proving this (but you can no longer use $\sum$ in the proof):  $$\sum_{k=0}^m x^k=\dfrac{x^{m+1}-1}{x-1}$$ Samba authentication fails In contemporary American English usage, I come across sentences like:   I ain’t got no money.  Ain’t no man like him.    Saying ain’t no sounds incorrect to me because it is a double negative.  What is the origin of this particular construction? I wasn’t able to find anything online related to the origins of this incorrect usage. What's different about photographing at sunrise vs. sunset? I usually get better light at sunrise (compared to sunset). I do though hate to wake up early in the morning to use that light ;)  What are the biggest differences between sunrise and sunset? How can I detect inside a TeX file which engine (pdftex/xetex/luatex) is used to compile the file? Is there a LaTeX package that provides this functionality? To find all $n$ such that $(n-1)!+1$ is a perfect power of $n$ How to find all positive integers $n$ such that $(n-1)!+1$ can be written as $n^k$ for some positive integer $k$?
