Thus the cocktail party would appear to be the ideal system, but there is one weakness.

And I would further note that they all -- with one exception again -- sang in one key or another the same song.

Indeed, following, suppose ƒ is a complex function defined in an open set Ω ⊂ C. Then, writing for every z ∈ Ω, one can also regard Ω as an open subset of R < sup > 2 </ sup >, and ƒ as a function of two real variables x and y, which maps Ω ⊂ R < sup > 2 </ sup > to C. We consider the Cauchy – Riemann equations at z = 0 assuming ƒ ( z ) = 0, just for notational simplicity – the proof is identical in general case.

For instance, suppose one has a filter which, when presented with an impulse in a time series:

Let us suppose now that there is at least a positive solution, and let be the minimal one.

String theories and supergravity ( both believed to be limiting cases of the yet-to-be-defined M-theory ) suppose that the universe actually has more dimensions than the easily observed three of space and one of time.

You just about what you suppose to be a triviality, in asking whether the hen came first from an egg or the egg from a hen, but the point should be regarded as one of importance, one worthy of discussion, and careful discussion at that.
