In the book An Introduction to Error Analysis: The Study of Uncertainties in Physical Measurements by J. R.Taylor I find the following formula:    In LaTeX, does it exist any symbol for  shown above?
I know what my symbol or character looks like, but I don't know what the command is or which math alphabet it came from. How do I go about finding this out?
What's is the difference between ">" and ">>" in shell command? Could someone explain to me the difference between &gt; and &gt;&gt; when using shell commands?  Example:  ps -aux &gt; log ps -aux &gt;&gt; log   It seems the result is the same either way. Find all functions $f:\mathbb{N_{0}} \rightarrow \mathbb{N_{0}}$ satisfying the equation $f(f(n))+f(n)=2n+3k,$ for all &amp; $n\in \mathbb{N_{0}}$, where $k$ is a fixed natural number.  A friend of mine suggested me to use recurrence relation. While it is unfortunate that I have problems understanding recurrence relation. Please refer information to understand difference equation, homogeneous equation &amp; auxillary equation.  Thanks in advance! Kindly don't down vote for not showing my attempt. I am seriously not able to understand the question and the process suggested to use. Are undead and creatures immune to charm excluded from the HP count of Sleep? From the spell description:     Sleep (...) Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points,(...) Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature   to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this spell. (PH p.276)   Now, to build the ascending order of their current hitpoints, the spell instructs to count everyone in area of effect, but only ignore unconscous creatures. Then later on it says that Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected.  Are those two latter kinds of creatures excluded from the roll of current HP by default? Following the "if they were it would say so" philosophy of Sage Advice, it doesn't seem so to me. I often cook fries in a skillet. I put about 1/4 cup vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat on high, then I toss in some frozen fries.   As soon as I toss them in there is an explosion of grease that makes a huge mess. After it simmers down though, I can cook the fries without spilling anymore grease.  Is there anyway to avoid the initial uproar? How do you empty the buffers and cache on a Linux system? Prior to doing some benchmarking work how would one free up the memory (RAM) that the Linux Kernel is consuming for its buffers and cache?    Note that this is mostly useful for benchmarking. Emptying the buffers and cache reduces performance! If you're here because you thought that freeing buffers and cache was a positive thing, go and read . The short story: free memory is unused memory is wasted memory. I am already dual booting windows 10 with Linux Mint, and I am trying to replace Mint with Ubuntu. I have already created a bootable usb for Ubuntu.  When I try to install Ubuntu, I don't see any option to install Ubuntu alongside windows 10. Rather, I see "install Ubuntu alongside Linux Mint". I didn't find any option to keep my windows 10. How can I replace Mint with Ubuntu in this dual boot system? Mint is installed on an ext4 partition and I have a Linux swap partition. Consider a rocket in deep space with no external forces. Using the formula for linear kinetic energy $$\text{KE} = mv^2/2$$ we find that adding $100\ \text{m/s}$ while initially travelling at $1000\ \text{m/s}$ will add a great deal more energy to the ship than adding $100 \ \text{m/s}$ while initially at rest: $$(1100^2 - 1000^2) \frac{m}{2} \gg (100^2) \frac{m}{2}.$$ In both cases, the $\Delta v$ is the same, and is dependent on the mass of fuel used, hence the same mass and number of molecules is used in the combustion process to obtain this $\Delta v$. So I'd wager the same quantity of chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy, yet I'm left with this seemingly unexplained $200,000\ \text{J/kg}$ more energy, and I'm clueless as to where it could have come from. How to know current name of the database in Django? Why is serial data transmission faster than parallel? Intuitively, you would think that parallel data transmission should be faster than serial data transmission; in parallel you are transferring many bits at the same time, whereas in serial you are doing one bit at a time.  So what makes SATA interfaces faster than PATA, PCI-e devices faster than PCI, and serial ports faster than parallel? Communities list is counting my reputation wrong on some sites I have 101 rep on  and am not suspended there. But the site switcher thinks I only have 1 rep there:     I noticed this after I .   To test this, I just added Expats and Reverse Engineering to my site switcher list. On both of those sites I have 101 rep and am not suspended. Results:    Huh? I needed to create a list of lists in Python, so I typed the following: my_list = [[1] * 4] * 3  The list looked like this: [[1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1]]    Then I changed one of the innermost values: my_list[0][0] = 5  Now my list looks like this: [[5, 1, 1, 1], [5, 1, 1, 1], [5, 1, 1, 1]]    which is not what I wanted or expected. Can someone please explain what's going on, and how to get around it? A big thank you, Tim Post As you may have seen, this was ’s last week at Stack Overflow. To say that he has been a staple of this company for a very long time is an understatement. Tim has served , evangelist, thought leader, anthropologist, psychologist, and mediator for this site for almost as long as it’s been around. For me personally, Tim has been my right hand in this role. He has educated me on the history of our community, been the person I’ve gone to to ask “why is this thing this way?“, bounced ideas off of, collaborated with, and relied on as a steady voice and a thoughtful teammate. We’re all proud to send him off and support him in any way we can in his next role. Tim has agreed to meet with me once a month to talk these things through moving forward and I’m excited to continue getting his feedback on our initiatives and goals. Thank you, Tim, for being such a stalwart here for so long. We’ll miss you, and look forward to sneaking you into our “Among Us” games for as long as we can. We're also excited to see you request to rejoin the ranks of Stack Overflow moderators and continue to be a pillar in the community. pgfplots: Clipping Everything Outside a Specific Area I want to add information to each column of a histogram. every node near coord is probably the best approach. It works well with bar plots but not with the histogram:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=newest} \usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.statistics}  \begin{document}  \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ ybar interval, xticklabel=\pgfmathprintnumber\tick--\pgfmathprintnumber\nexttick, % Code to generate labels nodes near coords={ \pgfmathprintnumber{\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/y}} }, every node near coord/.style={ anchor=south,xshift=9mm, }, % ] \addplot+[hist={bins=3}] table[row sep=\\,y index=0] { data\\ 1\\ 2\\ 1\\ 5\\ 4\\ 10\\ 7\\ 10\\ 9\\ 8\\ 9\\ 9\\ }; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture}  \end{document}   I used every node near coord/.style to shift the labels.  The problem is that I have four labels for three columns/bars:    I addition I would like to center the labels. A workaround will be a manual adjustment (every node near coord/.style) just like in the shown example.  Update  Maybe clipping is a possibility. Is there a way to clip the labels (in this case the 7 in the right) away?  Like this: Upper bound for $\sqrt[n]{n!}$ Cannot log into Area 51 with OpenID I recently tried many times to log into Area 51 with my Stack Exchange OpenID.
