    You'll have to use numerical methods for this, I suggest Newton-Raphson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method)

    Pretty much what happens is you know n and you provide a guess for x and the...

    Re: Help me with C++ anyone?

    For starters, take out the system ("PAUSE"); You don't need them.

    Your program stucture should be like:


    #include <includes>

    int main()
    {
    // CODE HERE

    Re: c++ and linear algebra

    FORTRAN can do OOP, not as elegant as C++ yet, but it is possible.

    Re: Programming Subforum Suggestion

    Now that I think about it, LaRoza has a good point. Maybe that's what I was originally thinking of and my brain put down the wrong words (that happens from time to time).

  12. Re: can't compile math program with cosine algorithm in x64

    I don't think I've never had to link using C++ if I've included math.h, but that could be C++. I take it with C you have to.

    But I can agree on learning the command line options; I finally was...
  13. Re: can't compile math program with cosine algorithm in x64

    I know it's along shot, but if you can't get the cosine function to work, you could always write your own algorithm using a Taylor series expansion. http://www.mathreference.com/ca,tfn.html
