I think the difference is minimal, unless there is a chance that x**n overflows or underflows, in which case you should use the second expression.
In theory, there shouldn't be any difference - if the values are calculated accurately with 'infinite' precision.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
