Thanks, yeah I have done this proof before. I just made a mistake thinking about negatives when clearly root x plus root a is always positive and therefore can be pulled out of the abs val
I have done this problem before but forgot how to get from one step to the next:
let a>0.
how is absval(x^1/2-a^1/2) equal to abval(x-a)/(x^1/2-a^1/2)?
I am applying for a PhD program in statistics and I want a full assistantship. Should I check the box to apply for additional financial aid or will that affect an assistantship chance? Thanks.
Thanks. I will be finishing a bachelor's degree in mathematics this year. I have very basic non calc based statistic knowledge although I do have some calc based and even joint density probability knowledge. I thoroughly enjoy real analysis and I will be doing independent study this year in real...
Could you please list and elaborate as much as you can on schools that are heavy on the theoretical side of statistics? Thank you as I have to have my applications in by December-January for grad school (I plan to enter a PhD program and would like guaranteed funding).
