geometric sequencing

im studying for placement exams and ive encounterd geometric sequencing and i thought "this is the dumbest thing ever to expect anyone to just have to know how to do"

i was just curious if anyone could explain to me what its actually used for

i expect its important to somebody i just dont quite see who

What do you mean by geometric sequency?
Sacred geometry?
Or more the practical use?
Or something else?

If you mean geometric progressions, I think I can help with that though the questions you posed are ultimately irrelevant for understanding the concept since math, being an outgrowth of logic, needs not necessarily have practical application in all of its things.

But of course the geometric sequence, again, if that is what you mean, does have uses. First, it is useful to estimate other progressions by comparison, and I suppose that it can be useful to simplify models of exponential growth and decay, which, technically, would again just be a special case of sequence analysis in general. Many functions that map the set of natural integers to a field can be expressed as a sequence and insight into one thusly implies some insight into the other...
Of course, one would have to interpolate values if the function maps from an uncountably infinite set, but a sequence would still grant some useful information. Geometric progressions are no exception to that.

Now maybe I totally misunderstood what this is all about...

I am curious about wich mathematic or geometry don't have practical applications?

2, 6, 18, 54

3 is the unseen number

2×3 = 6
6×3 =18
18×3 = 54


geometric progression,yes

thanks gisteron

i appreciate your intelligence!

Pattern recognition is pretty useful anywhere, as understanding it's structure means you can predict with a measure of accuracy.

one of my theories on precognition is that an individual utilizes pattern recognition at a subconscious level and since they aren't consciously doing it it gives the impression of being psychic...

well then this is right up your alley; what if the cameras on our phones and laptops are always on?

think of the predictive power of that after just one or two generations

everything we watch - everything we read - every conversation we have and every web search we make - all of it while camera rolls a close up of our faces recording eye movement pupil dilations breathing rates and every expression of every moment - of every smart phone and laptop in the world - all of this crossed referenced further with current events

google becomes the new oracle only this one doesnt predict what will be done to you but rather can predict with 95% accuracy exactly what you are about to do

a predictive algorythm

now, do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill? lol

Lucky my laptop has a smiley face sticker over its webcam!!

lol...i have a poster board blind over my cameras...

i think google already uses an algorithm like that....lol....

i find a lot of people seem to have that same sense that those cameras arent trustworthy

if i were google i have to admit i would see it as worth it

also i wish i had an algorithm that could predict my spelling
im usually flabbergasted by what i find waiting for me when i go back and read my posts

a few years back a school here in florida that had issued laptops to students accessed the cameras on those laptops to locate them....it brought up legal issues with invasion of privacy....then there were some sites that were accessing cameras all over the globe and streaming the footage....

i really think its at least possible that thats why the cameras are always built into the machines facing the user directly

phones for instance didnt always have the front camera
also ive taken phones apart and found what definitely looked like a camera lens on the inside

the curious bug in me says its a great idea

but the freedom loving individualist in me says that kind of power collected so covertly cannot at all be a good thing

it's never a good thing when citizens are being spied on by their own government...it's too orwellian....

big brother is watching....big brother loves you....1 + 1 = 4.....


having said that....the base i was stationed on did just that....collected global telecommunications filtering for keywords and phrases then passed them on....

Thats why I was thinking before connect my main computer on the net...
But its too late. :pinch: Im on. Rock & roll lool
I just backup my projects in another places.

If I can update myself good .. I am going to open a new portal to protect my privacy. :whistle:

Security its our right
Hack is left
The truth our uppercut
:lol:
