Surely it's more of a lost in a loop or iteration though?

Mr Rubble. Good guess, I think it fits better than the actual solution...

EDIT. Nick has it

I thought Star Wars, but couldn't figure out how that would link to star in mathematical terms. But of course, it represents a star topology.

Can someone give us a clue? Like what does the diagram mean?

[b]f[/b] is function with an input [b]D[/b]omain and output [b]R[/b]ange.... the sets of values which the input/outputs can take.

The dashed line for the range shows it's an "open" set ie. the boundary is not included in it.

Does that help? ๐Ÿ™‚

If you take the interactive quiz it gives hints on the maths side and the film side... same dingmaths, just different way of doing it.

It's a graph, not star topology.

Cougar:

Euler's identity is considered by many to be remarkable for its mathematical beauty. These three basic arithmetic operations occur exactly once each: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. The identity also links five fundamental mathematical constants

Think many could have multiple answers.

Cross of Iron instead of Iron Cross ?

8 is the heat equation, so Heat ?
