Anyone here familiar with hypergeometric functions? I'm just interested in one case, the second example on the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function#Special_cases :
[eqn]{}_2 F_1 (a, -; -; z) = (1 - z)^{-a}.[/eqn] Is there a simple way to show this from the series definition of [math]{}_2 F_1[/math]? Obviously the two missing arguments cancel out, hence why there's no need to put anything there, but I'm not seeing the rest. I would like to avoid doing something like a Taylor expansion of [math](1 - z)^{-a}[/math], because that pretty much already assumes you know the answer.

It depends on how deeply you want to understand the theorem. You should always have some goals or questions in mind when reading, or at least try to anticipate what's coming next by trying to prove the result yourself first. If you try to just absorb theorem after theorem with no goal or direction you're likely to fail to remember much of it because it served no purpose and didn't fit into a narrative.

Professional analysts probably don't remember literally all of those.

>>12025455
Analysis is viewed, sadly, as a mere tool to construct rigorously objects that you can then have fun with, the same with general topology. People will cite something else for the details and directly begging wanking their diagrams and geometric intuition that was never actually built, just claimed it can be proven or that with few modifications the general argument should follow. Brainwashed retards who also want to show off they are "pure mathematicians" stay away from fields like PDEs, numerical analysis because it is too applied (showing they don't know what the fuck they are talking about). FFs measure theory is such a powerful tool and it is seen as "dry" by plenty of people. You start sounding like physicists with your meme methods that avoid the important insights of analysis and topology.

Yes, it is easier to write a negative integer as the argument of F. Then you can just read this off from the definition. Again, it's just a well known series which you'll recognise.
If you want a more complicated proof, you can use the integral definition or the formal definition with gamma function crap involved but it's not necessary.
I'm not being an asshole here but you should be able to just eyeball the series definition. Write a few terms out and you'll see it.

Megamathlet question incoming: what's even the point of subtraction when it's just addition of some number with it's additive inverse? It just seems like a handicap to use subtraction because of it's anticommutativity; an handicap that can easily be sidestepped by just redefining it as addition of an additive inverse.

sorry for the massive amounts of question in a single post, but...

is the rotations of a sphere a group with uncountably many elements?

are there groups with cardinality greater than R? is there a retard proof one which i can understand?

is it possible for there to be a classification of finite simple groups that looks different from the categories we have now?

also: whats the first book on math you will give your hypothetical/imaginary/real child when he/she/they/it ask you for a book on math?

this is imo a major problem in math texts: if you actually think hard and reach a solution yourself, you will see that the rationale of the approach, but if you don't, or you arrive at a different proof, you will not understand the method of construction. this can only be learned with experience.

>>12027653
The general construction is easier for groups as opposed to abelian groups because you're taking a quotient of the free magma by a smaller congruence in the case of not necessarily abelian groups, but the usual informal/ad-hoc construction of the free abelian group is easier than for the free group.

Does anyone else feel weird when certain numbers are supposed to be odd/even/prime? Like, 8 feels prime-ish cause its a p^p. Or 9 kinda feels even because its not only divisible by 3, but its divisible INTO 3. So its got a symmetry, while also having a near-2 divisibility. 5 is a factor of sturdy decimals, so it also feels even and not prime. 7 kind of feels like it should have a factor too, but thats maybe just because its lucky. 13 feels too obvious as an unlucky number to be prime, yet it is. 27 sounds like a prime, but its not. 19 is very perfect as a prime.

Well. Anyways, it looks like you got your homework equations right. Just use ln x and ln y for different measurements. omega will always be omega when you raise it to N that way.

and I think your calculus is right. Omega is open to all sets and cardinalities because it defines all sigma algebras by vanishing the lebesgue integral to infinity and all constructs are inclusive to Omega (measure = mu = 0 lim n -> infinity).

>H&K is meant to be difficult
Why did you get that impression? It's not. It gives a good overview of the subject that is slightly more general than other books; e.g. it usually doesn't assume a finite-dimensional space and does so explicitly when necessary, often providing an infinite-dimensional counterexample. The explanations are thorough and on point, and the only autistic part I remember from when I read it is the whole chapter on the Jordan form.
>Also what should I read now that I've finished Pinter?
Seems like a complete abstract algebra book, you should know the basics by now. I'd attempt the exercises in D&F or maybe check out Aluffi if it's too terse for your tastes. (D&F is more of a reference book than anything.) If you want to research something involving algebra then read something related to that field, e.g. Atiyah-Macdonald for commutative algebra.
Did you just read a whole book on abstract algebra before learning linear algebra?
If you have a background in abstract algebra and somehow are learning linear you might be interested in Roman's Advanced Linear Algebra. Maybe not as a serious read if you're struggling with H&K, just find a .pdf and skim over it to get the "big picture".

I donno, but I think I can try to think of two sequences that are different in infinitely many places, but more sparsely so than linear and not finite.
So if I pick a prime [math]p[/math], then two sequences that are forced to be different at the indices k given by the floor of [math]\log(i\cdot p)[/math] for all i could already be equivalent by this definition. I guess this is asking whether there's only few ways in which I can make essentially different sequences still be equivalent in such a way?
That's not a ways to solve the question, but the set of sequences is such a shit mathematical object that I don't even dare to make a guess. Let's say I guess that |X/∼|=|X| can be disproven in a strong enough theory.

not that anon but my rough argument:

The equivalence classes are essentially sets of binary strings that have a finite number of different terms and a (countably) infinite number of similar terms.

Since there is an (uncountably) infinite number of binary strings (as per Cantor's diagonalisation argument), |X \ ~| = |R| = |X|

>> No.12028696

>>12028693
Just to flesh it out

Since there is an infinite number of binary strings, there are an infinite number of equivalence classes (since you can just make a new equivalence class through Cantor's diagonal method).

Hence |X \ ~| = |R|

Make this even harder. Let =, be equality on binary sequences. Prove or disporve. There a Borel function that witnesses, |X/~|=|X/=|. That is, is there a Borel function f so that for all x,y in X that x=y iff f(x)~f(y).

>> No.12028713

>>12028704
My solution.

Each equivalence class is the set of binary strings that tend to 'approach each other' as n approaches infinity. 'approach each other' meaning x_k and y_k are the same.

Then you've partitioned X into all possible binary strings with 'similar' terms at infinity. But that would be an uncountable set with the same cardinality as the set of all binary strings anyways.

Right?

The reason why I said array of numbers is not because I actually believe that to be a good answer but to mock by analogy the person who said math is just logic. Concepts are more than arrays of numbers even though they can all be encoded in various ways by arrays of numbers, with varying efficiency. In the same way math is more than logic. No (good) mathematician thinks about math in terms of manipulating formulas and axioms by a fixed set of rules to obtain an expected formula when theyre actually working. They think about actual platonic objects that they manipulate and reason about in their heads, with faith that all their arguments could, with enough time and effort, be formalized if a fool wished to waste his time so. If youre experienced in maths at all Im sure you could remember countless times where the idea of a proof was immediate and abundantly clear in the head when you think about what the concepts mean (i.e. the semantics) even though writing the proof out so that it conforms to usual methods of deduction is a pain in the ass.
When a mathematician talks about a circle he means a circle, not an axiom or a formula. He has an image of a circle in his head and it's absolutely clear to him what he's talking about.

Why? I am not attractive nor am I socialized enough for women to perceive me as conforming to social environment (which is extremely important for women). The only way I could have sex is if I payed for a hooker which is essentially the same as masturbation, the woman will likely not be attractive nor she will be attracted to me, which will make it an uncomfortable experience that will likely crush my self-esteem. Another option is to try to attract a woman myself. To do that I either need a lot of money which I am currently nowhere close to achieving or/and I need to become more physically attractive which would involve spending a lot of time working out as well as developing normie sensibilities so that the woman would perceive me as normal. That would mean watching normie TV shows (all degenerate garbage), listening to normie music, being interested in normie news. All absolute horrorshow. Even after having done all of that, at best I'll be able to attract a 5/10, given I myself am a 5/10 (maybe 4). All women I find attractive sneer at me when I look them in the eye.
All this time I would spend becoming more like a normie I could just as well spend doing maths, a thing that I actually enjoy and which is more optimized to my abilities.

I did all the exercises in chapter 2 of Gamelin and Green have been doing a lot of surface level questions in graph theory, probability, and combinatorics.
