The site looks pretty cool: I've certainly got a lot more to learn and could always improve. Out of curiosity, is the site being recommended due to poor/incorrect mathematical reasoning/proof-writing in my previous post? Thanks.
Actually, I posted this link first and read your proof after.
It's always good to have a bunch of people interested in the same thing discussing these things you're so passionate about... and I think you'll find a much more eager audience there... and, mainly, a lot of teachers.
Personally, I'm not a fan of showing this kind of proposition... my physics background sees no use in them!

In general, to all AF members, if I've made an error in a proof/mathematical work that I've posted here, then if it's okay with you, could you please let me know, so that I can post a corrected version? Thanks, and I appreciate everyone's participation in this thread. Live long and prosper.
Will do, if I ever spot it.
I appreciate your thoughtful response, pocaracas. I didn't realize that there were a lot of teachers on that site along with so many people interested in mathematics: it seems like a literal goldmine of wonderful ideas and meaningful exchanges based in curiosity and friendship.
With that said, as to your question contained within the hide box, I would say that always being open to the possibility of how I may be mistaken, is a trait that I value and try to exhibit; it can certainly spare a person some embarrassing moments, especially if that individual has committed an error.
In your post, you said that you have a physics background. Out of curiosity, are you more interested in applied mathematics or pure mathematics (or do you like both)? Thanks again for your response.
