Virasoro algebra is the algebra of conformal generators. Let us work over the Riemann sphere [math]\mathbb{A}^1_\mathbb{C}[/math] for simplicity, such that a local coordinate neighborhood [math]\eta[/math] exists such that [math]\eta(z) = z[/math].
Let [math]\mathfrak{w}[/math] denote the Witt affine Lie algebra on [math]\mathbb{A}^1_\mathbb{C}[/math] generated by the dilation operators [math]l_n = z^n \partial, l_{-n} = z^{-z}\overline{\partial}[/math], then the Virasoro algebra is the unique central extension [math]\hat{\mathfrak{w}}[/math] that fits into the short exact sequence [math]0\rightarrow c\mathbb{C}[[z]] \rightarrow \hat{\mathfrak{w}} \rightarrow \mathfrak{w}\rightarrow 0[/math], where [math]c\mathbb{C}[[z]][/math] is the algebra of convergent Laurent series on [math]\mathbb{A}^1_\mathbb{C}[/math] and central charge [math]c[/math].

Given any value n, find 2^n, how is that found in polynomial time?

you know that can easily be learned using proofwiki.org, I did that "experiment" once, my intention was to do a silly joke about going all the way from the foundations to a concept that can be described as parsimoniously as it happens with banach spaces (by typing it all out to some Omegler stranger). In order to describe all these concepts I had to go through around ten thousand lines of math text, and it took me around a week, I even expanded on it, and learned about the universal property of free groups (to describe the rational numbers, quotient groups, and the like), etc. It was a pretty important experience in my life

Another example:

Given any value n and any polynomial equation F find all the zeros of the polynomial, F^n

I know that worse case is that the # zeros = the highest power of the polynomial. So would big O just be O(n*k), where k is the highest power of polynomial F?


This isn't homework or anything I'm just trying to learn how to estimate amount of operations based off what I'm trying to solve.

You should've learned that a polynomial can be written as [math]p(x)=a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)...(x-x_i)[/math].
Taking powers, [math]p(x)=a^n(x-x_1)^n(x-x_2)^n...(x-x_i)^n[/math].
So that all the roots of a power of a polynomial are the roots of the original polynomial, as long as n>0.
Finding roots of a polynomial is a huge pain and can only be easily done if they have degree less than five. Google the formulas.

This is how integer exponentiation is normally done. Also, if you want the result modulo m, you'd do that at each step: (a*b)%c=(a%c)*(b%c).

When dealing with a non-integer exponent, you'd use log(x^y)=y*log(x) => x^y=exp(y*log(x)). Note that this can't handle negative x. A negative value raised to a non-integer power is almost surely complex (the reciprocal of an odd number is an exception, but such values aren't exactly representable in floating-point).

Real analysis exam next week, what’s the best strategy for studying for this type of course? I really fucked up on the first exam so I need a good rebound, I just struggle memorizing the exact wording of theorems, and I fall into the trap of thinking that the problems are super easy because like, I did all of this stuff much less rigorously in elementary calc courses.

I feel like it’s not like a calc course in that you can pretty much figure it out by doing a shit load of problems until you get it. My teacher roasted my ass for making “calculus arguments,” which is completely understandable given that it’s a rigorous course, but that type of thinking is so natural to me by now.

It's probably a good idea for you to learn it now. If your career goals involve graduate school and/or academic math you will 100% need to know it to a reasonable level. Even most decent undergrad programs will require you to write something in it before you graduate.
You could put off learning it until later like most people, but in late undergrad/early grad school you will be very, very, very busy and probably not appreciate having to wrestle with your computer trying to get something to work before the deadline. Smarter to learn it now while you have free time and energy to learn things.

Sorry if I'm being really dumb, but I don't see exactly how that solves my problem. Yes, there is some [math]N\in\mathbb{N}[/math] such that for all [math]n\geq N, \frac{1}{a_{n}}<1[/math] But then what? Maybe I'm not seeing another perspective but my idea is that if you asume that [math]y\neq 0[/math] then I could find a way to show that the sum is strictly positive, but for that I need to bound it from below and your condition says that for sufficiently large N I can bound the sum from above with [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{|y|}{((x-a_{n})^2+y^2)}[/math] but This isn't really anything new since The sum converges to 0.

Depends on your goals. If it's for a final and you know jack shit, It's very probable that you are fucked, but it also depends on the course. O'neill is good to learn quickly on the basics and use any pde for scientists and enegineers for the formulas. Weinberger for things that have to do with separation of variables and Salsa for discussion into certain models. PDEs are one if not the biggest field in mathematics so you can get lost in any particular subject (or equation for that matter).

If you somehow know that G(x) is some nth power but not what is "nth root" F(x) is, then there's probably no better way to compute F than solving G(x)=0 first and then decompose G as product of degree 1 polynomials.

The symbol of subset inclusion is almost never used to denote strict inclusion and the \subseteq one is often considered redundant. That's why you sometimes see an inclusion sign with a barred line below to denote strict inclusion.

There's absolutely no point in purchasing prep materials for the general GRE. The entire syllabus is high school material. Scoring high is entirely a matter of being very careful not to make any errors. I got 170/169 and my prep consisted of reading the exam rulebook the night before.

The math GRE is a different matter and you should probably purchase some sort of study guide for that, because you're unlikely to get above 75th percentile without significant practice. Nothing on the test is particularly high-level (it's usually roughly 50% calculus, 25% linear algebra, and 25% very basic combinatorics/topology/abstract algebra) but you have 3 hours to do 66 questions. You need to have every calculus trick under the sun memorized because there's not enough time to sit and think about the problems for more than 10 seconds each.

Not always, at least not without fundamentally changing the structure of the proof.
For example the classical proof that [math]\sqrt{2}[/math] is irrational cannot be done without becoming proof by contradiction at some point. You can replace the proof by some other proof that is not by contradiction (e.g. you can use continued fractions, or the rational root theorem, or...) but there is no way to simply rephrase the proof.

For positive integers a and b, if a^2=2 b^2 then a and b have a common divisor greater than 1: in fact, the equality implies that 2 divides a^2, and thus that 2 divides a, and thus that 4 divides a^2, and thus that 2 divides b^2, and thus that 2 divides b, meaning that 2 is a common divisor. We can conclude that if a fraction squared equals 2 then it is not a simplified fraction, and thus that a simplified fraction cannot be equal to sqrt(2), and thus that no fraction can be equal sqrt(2).

>a^2=2
I've actually said a^2=2b^2. There's a "two times b squared" in there. Of course that is impossible for integers, and that's what is being proved. Which probably means proof is actually just a proof by contradiction without the word "contradiction". Too bad.

>Of that could be true, then 4 divides a, 16 divide a^2, 16 divides a, which goes forever.
No. The implication
>2 divides a^2 thus 2 divides a
is true precisely because 2 is a prime number, which 4 and 16 are not.

So I'm in my third year of undergrad math, and enjoy it, but I'm having trouble planning for the future. In America, so have those core classes I'm humanities that bring my goal down, so I'm not sure I'll get into a grad program. The professors here aren't very helpful, I'm getting floaty answers and basically told to fend for myself.
Does that seem right? Where should I be looking for more specific math-related future plans?

It depends when you dropped out of high school and how much math you took when you were there.
I'd suggest you try going through volume 1 of the Art of Problem Solving (this is on libgen, I believe). It starts from fractions and goes through all aspects of high school math at a reasonable pace.
It is intended for competition training, but that shouldn't scare you. It's the same material, the problems just make you think about what you learned instead of mindlessly banging out equations. If you need practice with mindless symbol-pushing, then this is easy to find online.

When I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

You're right that unless working in a very finite set there's no other way of proving a thing doesn't exist other than asking what if it existed—or is there?
Still, proofs that could be done without
contradiction and are done by contradiction are very upsetting. Imagine that instead of computing a given expression and showing it's—say—five, you prove by contradiction that it cannot be any other number than five.

If there is, I've never seen it. Unless, as anon already exemplified, the definition claims something doesn't exist, and you show that the required object fits under something.
I like proofs by contradiction because they're short. Constructive proofs are usually really long.

Specialize your essays for each school you're applying too. Each school has strengths and weaknesses and you should be clear as to why you want to go to THAT specific school as opposed to any other. Is there someone you want to work with, do you certain research labs or programs, why do you want to go there? Also you should try distinguishing yourself, talk about your personal interests and what not. They should have a clear image of you. Don't be generic.

obviously. a vector space is n dimensional if and only if its basis has n elements, which implies any set of n+1 elements is linearly dependent

I try to go to office hours once a week, usually Monday. Usually we just talk about any issues she noticed on recent quizzes or homeworks, but when I try to push about getting into helping some if the senior projects, I get told to go to the career center, which is a different issue but not really the point here.

Thanks for the response. This is reassuring to read because this is basically what I've been trying to write. All my statement drafts have a paragraph dedicated to explaining what specific group/faculty I want to work with at that particular school.
Besides that I have a paragraph describing my background and mathematical interests, and an intro paragraph describing my (admittedly somewhat generic, but how can they not be) career goals and motivations for getting a PhD.
All this checks out to about 375 words, around 2/3 of a page. I'm hoping to be able to pad it out to 500 without becoming too much of a blowhard.

One thing I dislike about mathematics is that every word must have a definite and precise meaning. There's no room for ambiguity. Of course that is what math is for, and applied math teachers giving leeway because they don't want to get lost into details are usually wrong and not very professional.

I can't accuse you of doing this because I don't know what you actually wrote, but I've graded abstract algebra exams and every time I get at least a few students who complain that I gave them minimal marks for an argument with a fundamental flaw in it.
If you write a proof that has an error, and the error breaks the proof in a way that cannot be fixed, then it doesn't matter if the other 95% is correct because that one wrong step means your entire solution makes no progress at all on the question you were asked.
Part marks are supposed to indicate that you made partial progress towards a solution. If you made no progress, you cannot reasonably get any marks.
