dragonfly March 1, 2009 Share dragonfly Member March 1, 2009 If a number is assigned to each letter of the alphabet such that a=1, b=2, ... etc, then what is the product of the following:( t - a )( t - B )( t - c )...( t - z )? If you can't do this in your head you suck at math. Bump. C'mon, it's easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringadon March 1, 2009 Author Share Ringadon Member March 1, 2009 while we're on the subject of math does anyone know a place I can plug in a set of numbers and it spits out the equation that relates them? I know that I could do it by hand but I'm dealing with 214 data points and I don't really want to work it out that far. I feel that it would also be a good thing to point out that this line of inquiry is based purely on academic curiosity and there's no rush. Also I'm pretty sure that this is the first topic I've started that went red, YAY!! Ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intent was to say that it was that the problem was actually not complicated and did not need a deep understanding of math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
