Here's a nice problem. I already know the answer, unfortunately, but for the rest of you all it should make for a good icebreaker.
Find two periodic functions, f, g from R to R, such that their sum f+g is the identity function. You are allowed the axiom of choice.
Definition of a periodic function: A function, f, is periodic iff there exists p>0 s.t. for all x in R, f(x+p) = f(x).
I'm looking forward to meeting you guys!
