Meanwhile people in the US don’t know about the Bonus Army, when tanks were sent to crush protesting veterans and their families

On July 28, 1932, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the U.S. Army to clear the marchers' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned

I learned about that in school in Kansas.

I downloaded it yesterday to test, and my wife was immediately was like ask about it. I had to comply, it said I can't talk about sensitive topic, but in the think it talked a bit.

Anyway, I tested simple sum, good job. I tested an integration that doesn't have closed form solution poor thing was thinking a lot, everytime it goes "this happened which makes the integral impossible" then it goes "maybe another approach" and tries again. Had to ctrl+C, but I'm at least impressed with trying to find solution without giving up, very asian.

What was the integral and what form does a solution take when there's no closed form?

I'm curious because I used to know but forgot most of calculus at this point.

Integration was this (idk if lemmy renders latex):

int_0^1{x^{-1} (1-x)^{n-1}} dx

[ \int_0^1 {x^{-1} (1-x)^{n-1}}dx ]

Text: finite integration from 0 to 1 of function x to power negative one, (1-x) to the power (n-1).

The limit at 0 goes to infinity that's why there is no solution. But deepseek kept trying different method reaching a conclusion that it can't be solved then then trying different approach.

About the closed form, the function without closed form was that function multiplied by x^y (1-x)^y .

int_0^1{x^{y-1} (1-x)^{n-y-1}} dx

The first one is a case where y=0. Unless y=0 or n, you have integration, just not a closed form. You can plot the function to see it as well. You'd have to try different values of y and n for it to actually plot something though.

Ah I see thank you
