Does a reaction that causes me to move out of range after the spell is cast but before the spell hits cause it to miss?  A couple ways this can be done are   Readied action to move with a trigger: target casts the spell Mage Slayer feat with a melee weapon attack that moves the caster
Let's say that a player uses the ready action and says "If a character aims at me with a weapon, I'll use Teleport to move behind cover."  What happens? Does this work? If not, please cite the rules to explain why not.
Einstein-Cartan theory - Book recommendation I want to delve into Cartan's formulation of General Relativity but it don't really know where to look. Does anyone have any book suggestions? Convert short[] into a grayscale image Extracting numbers from string field using Python Parser of ArcMap Field Calculator? I am trying to calculate field test2 with only the numeric values from a string field test. The entire script is like:    def makestr(test)      list=[]      for s in test:          if s.isdigit():              list.append(s)      for a in list:          str=''.join(list)     But I keep getting an error:    Any ideas? I'm trying to answer the following question from the book :  Let $X_1,X_2,\dots$ be a sequence of sub-gaussian random variables, which are not necessarily independent. Show that   $E\bigg[ \max_i \frac{|X_i|}{\sqrt{1 + \log i}} \bigg] \le CK$,  where $K = \max_i \|X_i\|_{\psi_2}$. Deduce that for ever $N \ge 2$ we have   $E\bigg[ \max_{i \le N} |X_i| \bigg] \le CK \sqrt{\log N}$.  I've tried to figure out what is the distribution of the maximum of Gaussians, but I'm reaching only inequalities that that don't help me answer the question.   I've also seen a similar question .  Does anyone have a clue or something to start with in order to answer this question?  Thanks! Does mass distribution/center of mass affect free fall? An everyday is example would be cars. If you were to drop a car, not taking air resistance into account, would a front-heavy car tumble forward as it fell? And a car with a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution fall straight? Does mass distribution/center of mass affect free fall? Or would they both fall straight down without tumbling? Can you explain why please? My understanding is that GPUs are more efficient for running neural nets, but someone recently suggested to me that GPUs are only needed for the training phase. Once trained, it's actually more efficient to run them on CPUs.  Is this true? Property of $\{0^n, 1^n, \ldots\}$ The differences between adjacent squares are the odd numbers:  0 1 4 9 16 25 …  1 3 5 7  9 …  The differences between adjacent odd numbers are 2 = 2!  I found that this truth is more general: If the differences between adjacent powers of $n$ are written out, and the differences of those differences etc, the $(n+1)$th sequence is {n!, n!, …}  Is this a well-known theorem? Does it have an easy proof? How to find multiple blank lines in Notepad++ and join the the separated text lines with a macro?  Below is screenshot of the file, where I want a macro to find out this blank line and correct the SEE and FIGURE should come to one line. How to move windows that open up offscreen? I have a dual monitor setup, and I recently played around with the positioning settings, and some of my single window applications do the favour of preserving where they were last closed, and opening in the same position later. Unfortunately, that now places them out of the viewable area of my screens!  Is there some way to force a particular window into the viewable area? I am a dual Australian/British citizen with an expired emergency Aussie passport and a valid UK passport. What are my chances for an Aussie visit? I was going to have to miss my brother's wedding on Jan 4th but he bought me a flight today. But my Aussie passport is expired and was only an emergency passport to begin with. I'm born and bred Aussie, just been away for ten years. I'm hoping to arrive on UK passport, show the expired Aussie one and the wedding invite and my return ticket for two weeks later and hope they understand.   What are my chances? Also planning on going to the Aussie embassy on Monday to see what they say but want to know my chances of just entering on a UK passport.

How can I find the radius of convergence for the following?     $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (a_n +b_n)x^{n}$   Can anyone help me? What is a good book to study linear algebra? I'm looking for a book to learn Algebra. The programme is the following. The units marked with a $\star$ are the ones I'm most interested in (in the sense I know nothing about) and those with a $\circ$ are those which I'm mildly comfortable with. The ones that aren't marked shouldn't be of importance. Any important topic inside a unite will be boldfaced.  U1: Vector Algebra. Points in the $n$-dimensional space. Vectors. Scalar product. Norm. Lines and planes. Vectorial product.  $\circ$ U2: Vector Spaces. Definition. Subspaces. Linear independence. Linear combination. Generating systems. Basis. Dimesion. Sum and intersection of subspaces. Direct sum. Spaces with inner products.  $\circ$  U3: Matrices and determinants. Matrix Spaces. Sum and product of matrices. Linear ecuations. Gauss-Jordan elimination. Range. Roché Frobenius Theorem. Determinants. Properties. Determinant of a product. Determinants and inverses.  $\star$ U4: Linear transformations. Definition. Nucleus and image. Monomorphisms, epimorphisms and isomorphisms. Composition of linear transformations. Inverse linear tranforms.  U5: Complex numbers and polynomials. Complex numbers. Operations. Binomial and trigonometric form. De Möivre's Theorem.  Solving equations. Polynomials. Degree. Operations. Roots. Remainder theorem. Factorial decomposition. FTA. Lagrange interpolation.  $\star$ U6: Linear transformations and matrices. Matrix of a linear transformation. Matrix of the composition. Matrix of the inverse. Base changes.   $\star$ U7: Eigen values and eigen vectors Eigen values and eigen vectors. Characteristc polynomial. Aplications. Invariant subspaces. Diagonalization.   To let you know, I own a copy of Apostol's Calculus $\mathrm I $ which has some of those topics, precisely:   Linear Spaces Linear Transformations and Matrices.   I also have a copy of Apostol's second book of Calc $\mathrm II$which continues with   Determinants Eigenvalues and eigenvectors Eigenvalues of operators in Euclidean spaces.   I was reccommended Linear Algebra by Armando Rojo and have Linear Algebra by , which seems quite a good text.   What do you reccomend? Can you make an opportunity attack against a moving object? I'm a computer student, learning math just for fun. Today I was  that I found something strange! I noticed that that wired function ${x^{x^{\cdot^{\cdot^{x}}}}}$ in zero, seems to converge to 1 when there are even powers and to 0 when there are odd powers! Then I attempt to prove it but I failed.  Then I did a little research and I found the  article on Wikipedia. This article says that my guess was right but without any proof. So I'm here to ask you about it.     If we define ${x^{x^{\cdot^{\cdot^{x}}}}}$ as ${^{n}x} :=\begin{cases} 1 &amp;\text{if }n=0 \\ x^{\left(^{(n-1)}x\right)} &amp;\text{if }n&gt;0 \end{cases}$      then prove:      $$\lim_{x\rightarrow0} {}^{n}x = \begin{cases}   1, &amp; n \text{ even} \\  0, &amp; n \text{ odd} \end{cases}$$ What's wrong with this division? I think there's a lot for me to learn about data types. Why this happens  double result = ((3/8)*100).ToString();   it gives zero .. should be 37,5 ... :( we all study mathematics , and all of us learn mathematical methods to solve problems , we learn how to prove , how to think mathematically   but the question is, what is mathematics ? how can we define it as a branch of science ? How to prove $|a+b|^k \leq 2^{k-1} (|a|^k+|b|^k)$? Assume that you have any two real numbers $a$ and $b$, and $1\leq k &lt;\infty$, $k \in \mathbb{R}$.  How would you prove the inequality $|a+b|^k \leq 2^{k-1} (|a|^k+|b|^k)$?
