    De Moivre's theorem question

    Currently working through Terry Lee's text, I noticed the worked solutions provided a swift workaround for using De Moivre's theorem, having ASSUMED that it is true for all rational numbers. As far as I have seen from the ext 2 course, De Moivre's theorem is only proved for the integer set...

    Economics Topic Order?

    Our school is going by the book so far... Apart from Topic 2 in which some texts/schools choose to cover exchange rates before moving into Balance of Payments. I find starting with Topic 3 a bit strange, considering a lot of the content is sort of tied into previous topics and the preliminary...
