Comment on Fermat’s Last Theorem Meets Sine And Cosine by Anonymous

Anonymous — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:26:19 +0000

When I retired some years ago I developed an interest in Fermat’s Last Theorem after seeing Andrew Wiles on TV.
If you are still interested, I have recently started a thread on the subject as I have a few ideas that I am happy to share should anyone express interest. The Forum I am using is called “Science Forums, the Original” at http://www.science forums.net/”
My entry is under the “name” TonyMcC. and my entry is called “Fermats Last Theorem – simple ideas”. I may not have a solution but I feel I have a few original approaches that point in the right direction – or so I like to think!!

Who needs a rug anyway? She looks like a lot of fun.

FYI, I cast only two votes for town council.

I just tried it with 3.22 votes per person, which was the average for fully participating precincts. The precinct clustering was unaffected, but the candidate clustering was. The council multiplication factor affected which council candidates aligned more closely with the mayor candidates, which I should have expected and discounted those clusterings.

The analysis is very cool Xan. How hard would it be to do one where each voter was presumed to cast 3 votes? My sense was that was a very typical case this year for many voters.

Thanks for the explanations of the seemingly low participation areas. And thanks Ed for pointing out my oversight in omitting the Durham County precincts. I’ll work on an update.

Patterson (northern part of town) and Kings Mill (southern part of town) both (and Dogwood Acres a little bit) have areas outside the city limits but within the school district. Therefore, it isn’t incomplete ballots but rather voters who only voted for school board.
