The Olympics started almost 2 weeks later. This was an exhibition game. It didn't count. If it did the final standings would have been a lot different. During the exhibitions, we won 6 games and lost that one. We beat Puerto Rico (who you noted beat us during the Olympics by a good margin) by 25 points. Argentina, which won the gold won 4 and lost 5 in exhibition play. It didn't matter a whit. Italy won 8 and lost 3 in exhibition play - their loss to Lithuania was 21 points - larger than the margin they beat us by. http://www.insidehoops.com/olympic-exhibition-games.shtml Here's the actual games: http://www.insidehoops.com/olympics.shtml >The so-called Dream Team suffered through a nightmare game in Athens, >losing to Puerto Rico by 19 points, the first loss since the U.S >started sending NBA stars to the Olympics. Since this was on August 15, clearly these reporters understood, unlike you, that the game against Italy was an exhibition game, and did not count. If it did, then they could not have said that the loss to Puerto Rico was the FIRST loss.

You were noting the ordering of points on a line; that idea seems to be captured by the between relation existing amidst points on a line. With two distinguished points 0 and 1 on a line, and a few other simple requirements on the between realtion, it seems like we can get an order relation on some subset S of the points of L which includes 0 and 1, and which is order-isomorphic to the dyadic rationals. It then seems possible to define bounded subset, upper bound and least upper bound; and from there we could determine the conditions such that L is (an example of) the real line. (Of course, without distances, I don't know how we make it work as an ordered field). === Subject: Ideas needed posting-account=FQityg0AAADcN0m_6rmqGebNQOS99zD_ Math champs: We are working together on a mystery novel with Indian math guru Aryabhatta in mind.

Hi All, If I have a function: f(x) = X^2 + 10/(X-2) and X is 2, the second part of the equation is undefined, correct? If I want to find the maximum domain and range of the function, how do I handle this? Do I just ignore the undefined section because of the defined component?

Edgar http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~edgar/ The n=1 case is theorem 2.6 in Aczel-Dombres, Functional equations in several variables. A similar problem: If a set A has positive Lebesgue measure, then (A - A)/n = {(x - y)/n | x and y are in A} contains a non-empty open interval. This is true for n=1 (Halmos, Measure theory, p. 68). Is it true for any n?
