How the hell do I do an e-d proof for a function that’s the reciprocal of a polynomial? Seriously about to kill my self. This is the one problem preventing me from going to sleep. I found my del but manipulating the function to become an epsilon is retarded

Can someone clarify the topology of CW complexes for me?

Hatcher defines it as the weak (initial) topology with respect to the characteristic maps of all the cells. nLab defines it as the strong (final) topology with respect the inclusions of all the n-skeletons. Are these the same or is one of them wrong?

I don't really think anyone is autistic enough to actually write summaries elsewhere about them but I can tell you a bit of what I remember. The gorilla poster was frequently banned and usually asked either pretty basic or would suggest really strange things. The people from vixra and the people who pretend to be them are also frequently banned but usually come back in some form to post about their theory of everything or the riemann hypothesis. Among all the people I've mentioned the only one who seems to actually be knowledgeable of mathematics is 2hu, basically this guy who posted about mathematics related to theoretical physics. He used to type up a whole bunch of latex and then post it here concerning his work or ideas. Not sure if he actually posts here anymore or if it's one of the many copycats. Other than that there's the usual shit posters that come in different varieties and some guys who just like posting about math and what not.

Start taking proof based math courses asap and continue on from there. The main reason I say this is so you can start working with a prof to do some research, maybe even get a paper or two under your belt (that'd really help you out). Getting mostly A's in your math coursework, taking a couple grad courses, getting a decent math gre score, and some strong letters of rec will basically get you into most grad school. Having volunteer work and being an officer in some organization will help as well.

I haven't read it but I have seen the associated material and some of her talks. They seem fairly standard, you may learn a few new tricks that may be useful for you. For me the thing that always helped me gain new perspectives on mathematics was just reading essays by other mathematicians. If you've read any bit of James Newman's world of mathematics of checked our the Princeton companion to mathematics you'll know what I mean. That book will probably at least be somewhat useful and not a waste of time.

you are doing the opposite. You are supposed to skim through the whole text (be that a book, section or specific chapter) so that you get a picture of the whole, where the text is going, what it is about, what is the point of it. After that you read focusing and dedicating the needed time on what is really relevant.
If there are exercises/questions at the end of the text it is even better, you read the questions first and read the text afterwards with the questions in mind.

I've mentioned before in /mg/ and I've posted links but I can post some more, there's a ton of mathematics becoming more and more applicable to CS, so not only can you do mathematics, but you can do it a much higher level and sophistication than your CS counterpart can. Academia isn't the only way to do research per se. Microsoft, for instance, hires mathematicians to work under them. I think Micheal actually works as a mathematician under them. You could also do what a lot of other people do and be a mathematician but work in a different department. That's basically what mathematical physicists do. Do that in CS if you think working in math department is too difficult. I'm just saying, math is a wide field and can be applied to a whole range of topics, don't think you can't apply it to another field you enjoy, without reason of course. Also plenty of math people spend time getting /out/, one of them unfortunately died though.

It's a good point, that is hard for me to accept. The only reason I made it into real math was by not moving on in proofs until I understood every step, and then could reproduce the proof with full justification. But I agree I should accept that I won't master the material right away now that I'm past that transition stage.

How do people cite old results in their papers? Like say I want to reference Cayley's theorem, do I need to dig up an old paper from the 19th century or can I assume everyone knows what I'm talking about.

I imagine you'd still need a citation if it was a more obscure result though, so how would you do that? Does like the French academy keep those papers or something?

Usually you can cite reference books and what not. Some books act as compendiums for a large amount of commonly cited theorems and results, making it kind of a one stop shop. Just cite a textbook that contains the result and you'll be fine.
>>10045095
>This looks like it's for how to understand books in humanities desu.
They act as general guides, you can usually modify them depending on the subject. It is worth mentioning that in Adler's book he has specific sections for things like scientific papers. In any case I do think some of the methods are useful. reading the text once through gives you a rough idea of where things are going which can be nice. Not the entire book just a section at a time. Note taking methods are always useful, same with getting a organization that's suitable for you. As for the comparisons, it is worth mentioning that few books contain all the relevant material for a field, even for introductions. Hell, people introduce entire fields in different ways. Compare the styles of analysis between a text like Rudin or Pugh or Tao. People approach topics in different ways and come from different motivations, so you can compare them. Tao has a nice article about this, something called "learn, then relearn your field"

I'd say it depends on the person but usually a master's degree or a solid undergrad degree works well. I guess it depends on what kind of math you like and what fields of CS you want to work in. I can understand wanting a lot of downtime. One option is becoming an amateur mathematician and working in combinatorics or number theory. It's not uncommon, I'd just make sure not to turn into a crank.

This in particular was pretty annoying when I started doing research. In my field there are quite a few very often-used results proved in certain theses which were never published anywhere so you have to contact the professor themself (or find somebody else who has it) if you want a copy of them.

It gets worse when it's not even in a thesis but just unpublished and in the folklore, like someone mentioned it in a conference and nowhere else. Or they claim the result in a follow up paper that never gets publish, looking at you Gromov.

Fair enough, as something to mould to the task at hand I can see it being useful. Skimming the upcoming sections is something my prof did recommend, and in general the techniques would help with getting a gestalt view of things. Sometimes in math I lose the forest for the trees and have thought I should work on cultivating a "zoomed out" perspective on the material a bit more. I'll have a read of that article as well.

Given a point on a regular polygon, is it true that there is a non-trivial symmetry that leaves it unchanged? Why?

(trying to prove that the stabilizer of every vertex under the group action of the symmetries acting on the vertices has two elements)

I don't know why you would be considering arbitrary points on the polygon when you are considering the action on the vertices. It's not true, anyway. Most points on the interior of an edge aren't fixed by anything.

Just use the orbit-stabilizer theorem.

The non-pleb echelons of the business world more or less function like you say. People generally don't stay in one place very long. You can stay in grunt-level careers for longer, but even in shitty McDicks-tier jobs they will try to push you up the ladder eventually.

Academic careers do still exist, although the norm nowadays is bouncing around a few postdocs first unless you had an extraordinarily productive PhD or you got it from Princeton or something.

Geometry is one of the most extensive fields of mathematics and so it's a bunch of shit. What I belive that modern mathematicians refer to when describing something as geometric, is more about the tools you use to attack a problem or how you define it. For example ODEs can be thought, purely with analysis as relationship between functions and their derivatives, but you can also look it as vector fields and integral curves.

?1 is piecewise-linear with 4 regions. ?* has 5 regions based upon which regions of ?1 are within the integration range (1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4). Both ?1 and ?* are symmetric about r=0, so the 4 cases for ?1 can be expressed as 2 cases using |r|, and the 5 for ?* as 3 cases using |r|.

The outermost case is just an integral where ?1=0 over the integration range => ?*=0. The second case has ?1=0 for part of the range and ?1=1-|r'| for the other part, with the integration limits depending on r:
$\int_{-1}^{r+0.5}\ 1+r'\ dr'$
$\int_{r-0.5}^{1}\ 1-r'\ dr'$
The innermost case has regions with ?1=1+r' for r'<0 and ?1=1-r' for r'>0.
$\int_{r-0.5}^{0}\ 1+r'\ dr' + \int_{0}^{r+0.5}\ 1-r'\ dr'$

What do you not get exactly? Simply calculate the integral. The easiest to see is for 0; when we plug in the borders, the lower is r' = r-0.5 and we know it's 0 when |r'|>1, which is when |r| > 1.5 etc

What advice do you have for turning math education into a hobby? I enjoy calculus, but it feels shallow learning to do one type of problem in class and moving on to the next without any kind of theoretical understanding or real-world application of the material we pick up. That would benefit my learning a lot, yet I'm not sure how to implement it. I guess in the meantime I'll skim through my textbook looking for topics that catch my eye, but any advice would be appreciated.

Aside from expense, if you're dealing with floating-point values then matrices are almost always invertible in the sense that their determinant isn't exactly equal to zero. But calculating their inverse will result in a matrix whose entries are essentially rounding errors.

Realistically, you either accept that you're going to get garbage when a matrix turns out to have near-zero determinant, or you calculate error bounds and check whether the bounds include zero.

I.e. assuming a 6/58 lottery, instead of picking 6 numbers, you can do "system 7", picking 7 numbers instead and you can use any 6-combination of the 7 numbers to match to the winning lottery numbers.

Well Lie groups are smooth manifolds, so yeah, some differential geometry would be good. How in depth do you want to go? Lee's book on manifolds goes into lie groups but only really covering the basics.
>>10051504
>but aren't any two such functions identical if you drill down to the formal definition of a map?
Mind explaining what you mean? Yeah, the representations of the circle group are $e^{2\pi in\theta}$ and they are not equivalent to each other, in fact they're orthogonal, which is easy to see when you remember they form the fourier series, at least if I'm remembering right, it's been a while, let me check some other sources.

A good rule of thumb is to just plug in a few numbers and check
Let's choose something random like n=2 and $\theta=\pi/2$ and let's assume you're correct, then
$-1=e^{i\pi}=e^{2i\theta}=e^{i\theta}=e^{i\pi/2}=i$
But that's clearly wrong. I think what's happening is that you're assuming something to the effect that
$e^{(n+1)i\theta}=e^{ni\theta}e^{i\theta}=e^{i\theta}$
But that's not true at all, reminder that
$e^{ni\theta}=1$ only for the root of unity.

xy is a song, since it starts with x, ends with y and contains two copies of an existing song, namely no notes. Therefore, by rule 3, so is yx. Now apply rule 2 again and we get x(xy)(xy)y and x(yx)(yx)y. That's two songs of length 6. To get two more just apply rule 3 to get y(yx)(yx)x and y(xy)(xy)x. Are you starting to see the pattern and how this generalizes?

The direction of the line is V=<1,-1,-2>, and the point P=<1,2,3> is on the line (and thus on any plane containing the line).

For any vector U which isn't a multiple of V, the cross product W=U×V is perpendicular to V (and thus to any plane containing the line). So the plane W.X=W.P contains the line.

Alternatively, if you want the plane defined by a parametric equation rather than an implicit equation, X=P+a*U+b*V.

Also a continual source of amazement for me is how quickly the nice algebraic properties are lost as you "grow" a concept. Exponentiation loses commutativity and tetration loses associativity, and I imagine if you kept going you'd continue to lose more obscure properties. Same thing as you increase the dimension of a division algebra. There seems to be a very small middle ground where concepts are "large" enough to be interesting but small enough to still be structured.

I find it interesting to think about whether we will ever reach this point or not. We're certainly very far away right now. Most mathematicians are competent enough to do work in at least 1 or 2 fields by the time they're 25 or so, and this is under an extremely poorly optimized system where they don't really start doing nontrivial math until 17 or 18 years old. A few years could be shaved off that if non-meme high school math education was more readily available.

But I think it's more likely we'll just do what we've been doing and continously trim off parts of math that have become less relevant. Analysis in the 1800s and early 1900s was a whole zoo of special functions that nobody gives a shit about today. Few people bother much with elementary geometry anymore either.

Maybe if you put your fraction in the form 1/(a^x) you can see that you can make it arbitrarily close to 0 by increasing x.

First, I suspect that the exponent should be k, not n.

As for how to calculate the sum:
S=2/7 + (2/7)^2 + (2/7)^3 + ...
(2/7)*S=(2/7)^2 + (2/7)^3 + (2/7)^4 + ...
=S-(2/7)
=> (5/7)*S=(2/7)
=> S=2/5
In general, the sum of an infinite geometric series is a/(1-r) where a is the first term and r is the ratio.

Overall I think that kind of view is really depressing desu, you should be able to study what you want, that's the whole fucking point of universities, they're supposed to be centres of learning not extended job training. If you need more education than provided by public schooling to succeed in the modern economy then add more public schooling, stop fucking with the university system.

How the fuck am I meant to solve this? I understand the fundamentals but my shit book doesn't even go over how to solve this specific type of problem. I can't even find a similar enough problem or example.

$<br />f(x)=\frac{cos(x)}{1-e^{ax}}<br />$
*where a is a constant real number

I get it to this:
$<br />f'(x)=\frac{(1-e^{ax})(-sin(x)) - cos(x)\frac{d}{dx}(1-e^{ax})}{(1-e^{ax})^{2}}<br />$

In particular I'm confused by what to do with the $(1-e^{ax})$ . For the first one, I guess that you distribute the $-sin(x)$ but for the second, why is the derivative $-ae^{ax}$ ? Why does (a) get multiplied by the base but stay in the exponent? (I looked up the answer on Wolfram). Then for the denominator, the signs get flipped to $(e^{ax} -1)^{2}$

$f(A) = f_*(A) = f[A] = \{f(a)|a \in A\}$

I also need more levels, like:
$f( \mathcal{A}) = f_{**}( \mathcal{A}) = f[[ \mathcal{A}]] = \{f(A)|A \in \mathcal{A}\} = \{\{f(a)|a \in A\}|A \in \mathcal{A}\}$

Have you been taught that e^f(x) = f'(x)e^f(x), where f(x) is a function (in your case ax). Which really follows from the chain rule and the fact that d/dx e^x = e^x.

let f(x)=e^x. It is known that f'(x)=e^x. If h(x)=ax, then h'(x)=a.

Now if g(x)=e^ax, you can write g(x) = f o h(x), so by the chain rule, g'(x)= f'(h(x))h'(x)= (e^ax)a

It depends how deep into algebraic geometry your goals are. I think the best-general purpose suggestion is Shafarevich. It's a good middle ground between an accessible intro and actual legitimate algebraic geometry, and the writing is excellent. Even for people who want to segue into meatier things this is a great starting point.
If you only want to take a quick look at algebraic geometry's ass there's a cute little 150-ish page book by Karen Smith (et al) which is a much faster way to just get an idea what a variety is and why anybody cares, but it's not really going to take you anywhere very serious.

The concept of curl is pretty easy, I'll use an analogy to illustrate it. Imagine you placed a ball into river and kept the position fixed, only allowing it rotate. The ball will then rotate, but how much? Well when we remember that the flow of the water can be described by a vector field we imagine that this field will tell us. If you look at the vectors at the boundary of the ball, as those are the ones that influence the direction of rotation, the it's easy to see that any component of the vector that acts normal to the surface of the ball doesn't affect the rotation. So now we just have to collect the components of the vectors in the vector field that are tangent to the surface and add them up. However to add these quantities you first realize that the vector field is defined on the whole space, so an integral is required. So you need to integrate the vector field. It's also easy to see that once you sum all the vectors together the rotation must occur about some axis. But this is still defined over some region and the curl is defined at a point, so what you do is shrink the ball and define the curl as the limit as the radius of that ball goes to zero. The integral tells you the magnitude of the rotation and the vector tells you the axis of rotation.

Basically, it might help to think about it in terms of densities. If f(x) describes the density of a material at some point x then taking the integral over some ball gives you the mass, dividing by the volume of the ball gives you the average density of that ball. So the maximal function then takes a density function and tells you the maximum average density at every point.

Well, we know for $\sum m(A_{n})<\infty$ to converge the terms $m(A_{n})$ must either be non-zero for only a finite number of $A_{n}$ or the measures of the sets $A_{n}$ must go to zero sufficiently quickly. From there it should be clear, at least at the intuitive level, why
$m\left(\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty} \bigcup_{k=n}^{\infty} A_{k} \right) =0$ since this amounts to $m\left(\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty} \bigcup_{k=n}^{\infty} A_{k} \right) =\lim m\left(\bigcap_{n=1}^{j} \bigcup_{k=n}^{\infty} A_{k} \right)=\lim m\left(\bigcup_{k=j}^{\infty} A_{k} \right)$
This isn't rigorous, but it's not too hard to make it.

In terms of math, fairly little. Basically just elementary analysis. Might be helpful if you know rudimentary facts about functional analysis too but I wouldn't worry about it if you don't.
Some background in mechanics would be very helpful for intuitive purposes.

Thanks. What's a good intro text? I understand the brachistome problem and basic analysis, but haven't done functional analysis at all.

Why do people like algebraic geometry again? I am, admittedly, an undergraduate brainlet, but it seems like a field dedicated to fucking around with boring equations and trying to find integral solutions or whatever the fuck they do. Explain the appeal /mg/.

Why dont they teach pointless topology in introduction classes? is it actually pointless (pun intended)?

Most people get their first taste of topology from studying the real line and building up to basic real analysis. The usual point set topology just matches what people usually think of and helps them match what they may view as abstract results to more tangible objects. Not saying this is the correct way of learning the subject but imagine this is the mentality.

It's mostly of interest to computer science people and constructive mathematicians. It's not pointless per se but it's not the usual way of doing topology.

Hey, Scholze once tried to use Faltings' theorem to prove a result that only required elementary knowledge of the theory of rational heights.

No. To be clear. I don't actually care about your position. Just your lack of rigor.

Here is your argument with the details abstracted out:
>I subscribe to ideology Y
>>Why tho?
>Because A causes B
>>That statement is false and insufficient to establish your subscription to Y.
>A is correlated with B therefore A causes B.

Why is integral calc so hard, guys? It seems no matter how many rules I learn, there's always some obscure one that I forget, and it ruins the rest of the problem. I suppose tons of practice is really the only answer to this.

Most Calc books have a section in the integration techniques chapter of 50+ integrals that can be solved using one, or a combination, of the techniques taught in the chapter.

If you’re struggling, working every one of these problems until you get them right without fail is the main way to get past Calc II’s integration portion.
