| Try entering " 5000 digits of the MRB constant " or whatever. |
| Why limit NMaximize to machine precision? You might want to try the option WorkingPrecision. Like NMaximize[Cos[x^2 - 3 y] + Sin[x^2 + y^2], {x, y},WorkingPrecision -> 20] . |
| NSum uses floating point arithmetic, so it doesn't have to worry about the algebra! I think the code can be sped up even more! Mathematica is really very fast, if you use it right. See how much I sped up the [MRB constant record... |
| The RAM increase in size won't do much for speed, unless you ended up using virtual RAM from your HD in the old computer because of too little RAM, then RAM size will make a great difference. RAM speed is what you should look at. Your new computer... |
| I bookmarked your site. If you know about my work on the MRB constant, and would like me to add anything about it, let me know. |
| **The following might not be unusual, as they are just results of convergents. Nonetheless, don't the irrational factors add a little intrigue?** Let m be the MRB constant : ... |
| Ditto. Claudio, I wonder if you or anyone else here can give me some advice: I feel that I've achieved just enough success that I would be devastated if I suddenly lost it. (I started checking my fameometer a little less often and that has... |
| Age of the observable universe, huh? I'm giving that a little thought! You do realize, don't you, that Mathematica will have a few upgrades by then. |
| I was a D and F student through sixth grade the second time but now get no greater **enjoyment** than trying to find anything new or interesting about math in general and especially the MRB constant!! |
