Emetophobia in public or having to witness someone else vomit, as the start of the emetophobia. They may also be afraid of hearing that someone is feeling like vomiting or that someone has vomited, usually in conjunction with the fears of seeing someone vomit or seeing vomit. There is a strong agreement in the scientific community that there is no specific cause of emetophobia. Some emetophobics report a traumatic experience with vomiting, always in childhood. Some suggest that sufferers are victims of childhood abuse – sexual or physical. While this is occasionally true, it seems to be no more prevalent than
Proof that π is irrational omitting the inductive definition of the functions "A" and taking as a starting point their expression as an integral. This proof uses the characterization of as the smallest positive zero of the sine function. Suppose that is rational, i.e. for some integers "a" and , which may be taken without loss of generality to be positive. Given any positive integer "n", we define the polynomial function: and, for each "x" ∈ ℝ let Claim 1: is an integer. Proof: Expanding "f" as a sum of monomials, the coefficient of "x" is a number of the form where "c" is an
