Correct me if I'm wrong. The dot product of two vector yields a new vector, and the cross product of the same two vectors yields a different vector. The vector produced by the dot product multiplication can be interpreted, somehow, as representing the "similarity" between the two vectors yielding it, whereas the vector produced by cross product multiplication can be interpreted as representing the "difference" between them? How and why?

Biologyfags:

How many cases are there of animals evolving to have traits which specifically help inhibit reproduction? Humans do this artificially via condoms to obvious benefit, so there's already a proof of concept. Females of various other species have folds which make insemination more difficult, which by the prior line, I assume is a matter of selection rather than mere coincidence. I haven't found a clear male case of this though. Does the fuck-and-run option they generally have prevent this? Has the impregnating-gender of any species besides humans ever been shown to deliberately avoid insemination? I figured territorial species might do this to save resource, but it seems like they tend to just slaughter the kids or something instead.

So I have two perfectly synced clocks with binary code assigned as specific intervals (this could be increased given clock precision) and I send a single photon between them assigned 1 in binary (assume instantaneous for simplicity) when the photon is received it is assigned a new binary (1010) in this case, in doing so I have effectively increased the amount of data per bit sent or compressed the data to a single bit, In doing so is the timing of the event not used as additional information? or am I wrong in this case?

I think this is the most appropriate place to post my question. Just curious and seeking to understand people's opinions. What does /sci/ think of statistics? Do you consider it Mathematics or is it something less?

I've always loved math and wanted to study a master's in math at a good uni. In all the higher ranked Universities I applied to I was only accepted into their statistics program. I don't know if I'll enjoy it as much as other applied math fields.

[Anonymous No.11992339]

>>11992328
Not really. Derivatives use the notion of a "limit," which means we can see the number a function or something approaches at a certain point. Something like the slope of the tangent line of [math]x^2[/math] at [math]x=3[/math] is *exactly* [math]6[/math], not approximately.

So you mean close to but not exactly. An approximate.

[Anonymous No.11992357]

>>11992352
I think you're confusing the limit with the difference quotient [math]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}[/math]. The limit itself is exact, but the values of the quotient as it approaches the limit are not.

What's representation theory in a nutshell? What makes the subject interesting?

Assume undergrad-tier knowledge in group theory. (Also, I've studied some Fourier analysis on LCA groups, and I've been told that it's closely related to representation theory. I'd love to see how)

>>11980350
This is called PWM. It's a modulation that can be used to digitalize information, but in this context is used to easily control how much power do you want to feed into the stove.
The power is controlled by the duty cycle. If the stove has a 30% duty cycle, it means that it spends 30% of the time turned on and only spends 30% of the maximum power. The duty cycle can easily and digitally be changed. Futhermore, you can build a control system with a feedback loop to monitor the temperature and manipulate the duty cycle instantly on real time to maintain the temperature constant, and all this logic can fit inside a chip.
To do this with AC and transformers is just a pain in the ass and it's too big and expensive. A fucking automatic variable responsive transformer? For a stovetop? Nope.

I was wondering. If I want to just roughtly know the pH of a solution to the 0.00 magnitude, should I buy some cheap pH meter or a bench pHmeter.

I mean, the cheap pH meter should simply give the lecture as soon as I insert it into the solution. But the bench pH meter, while surely will offer more resolution it means that I have to use a buffer calibration solution, then adjust the pH to calibrate the sensor, then insert the desired solution(with a buffer) in the sensor and add a solution of a strong base or acid until I reach the desired pH.

The thing is that they explained me the process but not the point to it or the difference between a cheap sensor and a bench one, and taking into account that is ten time more expensive I just want to know whats the point for homelab applications.

In Freyd's theorem that a category C with products of size up to Mor(C) is a preorder, how do we conclude from [math]f,g:A\to B[/math], [math]f\neq g[/math] that the homset [math]A\to \prod_{m: \mathrm{Mor}(C) }B[/math] contains at least [math]2^{ | \mathrm{Mor}(C) |}[/math] distinct arrows?

[Anonymous No.11993299]

>>11993268
Thinking it over a bit, I think the argument goes as follows: for each [math]m:Mor(C)[/math] we can choose one of f,g to precompose with the projection [math]\pi_m[/math], and the [math]2^{ \mathrm{Mor}(C) }[/math] cones thus formed are pairwise distinct, otherwise f,g would lift it non-uniquely to the product cone [math]\{\pi_m\}[/math]. The theorem follows from the universal property of [math]\{\pi_m\}[/math], which ensures that a (distinct) lift in [math]A\to \prod_{m: \mathrm{Mor}(C) }B[/math] exists for every (distinct) cone.
Is this right?

how do we know that the properties of numbers are intrinsic and don't just manifest from the way we've chosen to represent them?
as in, why is a number always prime, or irrational, or transcendental, regardless of how we choose to represent it in decimal, binary, octal, sexagesimal, etc?

[Anonymous No.11993560]

>>11993400
You can do all of the construction of the numbers and a lot of the investigation of their properties in a representation-agnostic way. When you get to the reals though you might have to choose a family of representations (ie base n but you don't need to specify what n is).

Got some problems with rotations and quaternions
Let say the rotation of a cube in 3D space is defined by a quaternion Q1(x,y,z,w), it is not oriented the way I want, I want to rotate it permanently on the Z axis by 90° during my whole process
Do I only have to set its rotation by a multiplication with another quaternion Q2 (normalized) which will be oriented by 90° on the Z axis ?

Why can't you divide vectors?

[Anonymous No.11993752]

I want to symbolically solve
[math] x = \sqrt[2]{2\sqrt[3]{3\sqrt[4]{4\sqrt[5]{5\dots}}}}[/math]
Which is easily seen to be the infinite product
[math]x = \prod_{n=1}^\infty n^{1/n!}[/math]
Taking the log on both sides yields
[math]\ln(x) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\ln(n)}{n!}[/math]
But I can't get much further than that.

why do heating mantles have a fiberglass lining? why not have like, a steel mesh?

fiberglass is going to abrade and shed glass filiments, so it'll degrade with time. plus a metal mesh would better conduct heat around the flask so hot spots would be eliminated. and there's not a risk of electrical shock because you could just ground the mantle.

the integral of a product of functions is *not* equal to the product of the integrals of such functions

in order to evaluate the one you suggested correctly, the best shot is to apply integration by parts. taking [math] \color{red}{u \equiv x} [/math] and [math] \color{blue}{\mathrm{d}v \equiv 1/x \, \mathrm{d}x} [/math], we have
[eqn] \int \color{red}{x} \cdot \color{blue}{\frac{1}{x} \, \mathrm{d}x} = \color{red}{x} \cdot \color{blue}{\ln (x)} - \int \color{blue}{\ln (x)} \hspace{4pt} \color{red}{\mathrm{d}x} [/eqn]
one can show that [math] \int \ln(x) \hspace{3pt} \mathrm{d}x = x \big[ \ln(x) - 1 \big] [/math].
hence,
[eqn] \int \frac{x}{x} \, \mathrm{d}x = x \, \ln(x) - x \, \ln(x) + x = x \, , [/eqn]
which reproduces the expected result.

No. One of them is the imaginary unit, the other is its negation. Similar to how i^2=1 has 1 and -1 as its solutions. Except that 1 and -1 are distinguished by the fact that 1 is the multiplicative unit, i.e. 1*x=x, whereas -1 isn't. There is no such distinction for i vs -i, nor does it matter.

take one off by grabbing it by the cuff, up until the finger tips, then with the partially gloved hand do the same for the other glove, they should now be both basically off, then you can bin them/scruntch them into a ball and bin them.

The eigenvalues are correct, and are 0,0 and -3. So the row reduced forms of that matrices after substracting the eigenvalues along the diagnol are the identity matrix for -3, and for 0 it is:

The scalar product of two vectors measures the projection of one vector onto the other one. Since projection depends on the angle in Euclidean space, you can think about measuring the angle between the vectors. If they are 'similar' (= have similar direction), the projection will be large. If they are perpendicular to each other, projection is zero.

The concept is very useful because 1) it allows to talk about angles (or projections, rather) in vector spaces other than Euclidean; 2) any scalar (or, rather, inner) product induces norm which induces metric - and so we can talk about distances between abstract vectors.

One of the most useful examples is a vector space where vectors are functions (like cos(x)). As soon as you introduce an inner product, you can project one function onto another, and compute distances between functions. This allows us to perform analysis - convergence, Fourier series, functional derivatives, etc.

A vector product, by definition, is a vector in a direction that is orthogonal to both of the original vectors, and has length equal to the area of the parallelogram spanned by the two vectors. Vector product is an analog of a much more general concept of an exterior product which is something that allows us to compute volumes. Tthe exterior product on a generic vector space can only be defined for forms and not vectors (form is something that eats vectors and gives you a number, and is linear).

The result of an outer product is also a form and not a vector. In particular, a product of two forms is a 2-form which eats two vectors and gives oriented area of a parallelogram. This explains why vector product gives you area. To transform the product output (the 2-form) into a vector, you have to have some additional structure (like a scalar product). However, this only allows for assigning a vector to a 2-form in either a 3-dimensional or 7-dimensional space. Historically vector product appeared from Hamilton's quaternions.

How does one do mathematics?

I read the essay A Mathematician's Lament by Paul Lockhart, and it got me thinking on what it really means to do math. I myself am an data science student, with a math minor. But I've always been interested in mathematics, and decided to use the free time coronavirus gave me to self learn the stuff I won't learn in school, like abstract algebra. However, I came across this essay, and it got me thinking of what it truly means to do math.

I understand what it means to do coding/writing/data analysis: you have to make something. You can't learn coding only by reading books, you can't learn to write stories only by reading fantasy, and you can't analysis data only by seeing what others do: these are all steps of the process, not the process itself.

But from what I understand, (again, from what I, a noob, understand) there's nothing like that for math. There's competitions, doing exercises in the textbook, or research, and competitions in my experience is just really intense exercises. Is self studying from a textbook, like how the wiki says, https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Mathematics says, enough to say you do mathematics?

I came up with an interesting-to-me problem that I'm having trouble conceptualizing an answer for.

I'm trying to come up with something that, when given two other functions f(x) and g(x), outputs the function that always stays directly between the other two functions.
A physical intuition I've come up with is that f(x) and g(x) both have a "pull" between them. The more one of the function pulls, the harder it would deflect the line between the two.
I've noticed two properties for the thing. One, the output function should always pass between the points of intersection of the two functions. Two, if f(x) and g(x) are inverses, the output function would be the identity function y=x

I don't know how to actually solve this though. "Pull" tips me off that it's going to deal with second order derivatives, but since this is supposed to take in any two functions, I don't think a regular second-order differential equation is sufficient.

Would this be solved with the Calculus of Variations?

For an unbounded self-adjoint operator [math]A[/math], is there any alternative (but equivalent) way to understand [math]f(A)[/math] besides the spectral theorem? Of course in the bounded case you can talk about a series expansion if it converges etc. (e.g. Taylor series of [math]f = \exp[/math]), but this doesn't work for the unbounded case.

I'm most curious about whether such an alternative approach, if it exists, could be used for practical computations.

in general, it's helpful to think about the problem this way:
if your bounds are [0,2] for x and y, then that means you're integrating up to the point 2,2,z. is this point valid geometrically? well if you impose the condition on z that you did, then yes.
as long as this is true for any points x,y,you can pick, then your bounds of integration for x,y are just [0,2]. if you need to impose another condition for y to restrict your region, you can do that.

>Of course in the bounded case you can talk about a series expansion if it converges etc. (e.g. Taylor series of f=exp), but this doesn't work for the unbounded case.
Couldn't you still talk about pointwise convergence, tho? Not [math]\exp (A) = \sum \frac{A^n}{n!}[/math], but [math]\exp (A) x = \sum \frac{A^n x}{n!}[/math]?
I wouldn't be surprised if the convergence of the usual Borel functional calculus of exponential of A evaluated at x existed if and only if this pointwise power convergence happened.

Could someone explain to me what Stephen Wolfram's computation physics autism breakthrough means? Like, what exactly is he doing? What I gathered was that he's basically throwing shit at the wall until it sticks by taking really abstract yet fundamental math, and seeing which combinations of shit result in laws in math that results in the laws of physics that we empirically observe. Because he can disregard huge swathes of possible-systems that don't have laws we see in our world, he hopes to eventually narrow it down to a selection of systems that can be used to predict new phenomena.

Did I get this right? Where am I wrong?

Cosmology question :
Susskind in his talks say the universe is a closed system (or will be when the Hubble constant reaches equilibrium and stops changing) because, in a universe with constant H, objects can never leave nor enter the cosmological horizon (which horizon is he talking about precisely, I don't know). And that as such the cosmological event horizon is something like a big black hole surface where objects get closer and flattened but never cross it.
How can that be true? I mean I understand why an object can't enter our universe because it would have to move faster than light, but why can't objects just leave? They can just leave it by staying immobile in space and let expansion do the work can't they?
Or is it some GR fuckery I should just study GR to understand?

In this charging capacitor with electric field confined to the space between the plates, is there a magnetic field outside the plates due to the displacement current or not?

In the differential formulation, because the electric field at the point outside the plates is absent (and constant), any magnetic field there would be irrotational.

In the integral formulation, it appears there would be a magnetic field out there because the point is on a closed path through which the electric flux is changing-- unless the total path integral is somehow zero.

So is there a non-zero irrotational magnetic field there?

take [math] f(x) = 3^{x} [/math] and [math] h(x) = 3^{x - 3} [/math]. as you already understand, that's just a translation along the [math] x [/math]-axis. so, the images of [math] f [/math] and [math] h [/math] are exactly the same, right? for a given value of [math] f(x) [/math], say, [math] f = 3 [/math], we see that such value occurs at [math] x = 1 [/math] ([math] f(1) = 3^{1} = 3 [/math]). now, what about [math] h(x) [/math]? you can easily see that it actually occurs at [math] x = 4 [/math] ([math] g(4) = 3^{4-3} = 3^{1} = 3 [/math]). so, in order to obtain a given height of [math] f [/math] using the other function, we had to evaluate it at [math] 3 [/math] units to the right

What is a better way to word a "range interval" for a given function that more informatively denotes what it is? All I'm trying to do is describe the (dy) differential for a standard function of one variable, but I can't think of the most efficient way to word it. My first instinct was to call it the "difference in height" between the point on a line tangential to the given curve and another point along that line an arbitrary distance (dx) away" but to describe it as "height" completely misses the point. It's an interval of solutions or a solution set but even describing them as "solutions" implies that there was a problem that needed solving, which again is not relevant. How can I describe this interval of solutions in a way that doesn't miss the point? My mind is blank. Pic somewhat related.

Well, I took my chance in an estimate of a upper bound, using

Actually, I believe that this problem may be connected with the one related to the Fransén–Robinson constant [math] F [/math]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans%C3%A9n%E2%80%93Robinson_constant
> It is however unknown whether F can be expressed in closed form in terms of other known constants.

Numerically, however, we can see that this upper bound is very close to the value of the series. WolframAlpha gave me something like
[eqn] \left\lvert \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln(k)}{k!} - \int_{1}^{\infty}\mathrm{d}\omega \hspace{2.8pt} \frac{\ln(\omega)}{\Gamma(\omega+1)} \right\rvert \approx 0.0809088 [/eqn]

I have kind of a fun question w/ practical application about control engineering. I never took the class so sorry for being layman-ish.
I have a plant that takes in 2 components and creates a widget outta em. I want to design a controller that will make the plant produce widgets at a certain rate. In summary I have a system that can take 2 inputs: the rates of change of the components, and has 1 output: the rate of change of widgets being produced. Assume I'm kind of more retarded than I actually am and I know nothing about how the plant actually works, I just want widgets flowing out. How do I design a controller to hit a quota of x widgets per second by controlling the inflow of components?

Practical example: I'm playing Factorio producing green circuits and I want to dynamically adjust the inflow of iron and copper plating to my (infinitely many) assemblers such that I can reach a set amount of green circuits per second that I've chosen, without going to the wiki and crunching all the numbers by hand.

Specifically chapters 5 and 6, you can completely ignore the rest of the book and volume II unless you have the patience for the full development of calculus on manifolds in which case read both books. He presents the best possible modern treatment of differential calculus, leaps and bounds above that of Tao and Rudin.

>XI. The day, from midnight to midnight, is divided into ten parts, each part into ten others, and so forth until the smallest measurable portion of duration.

How significant is weight in the top speed of production coupe type cars? Take, for example, a 4000 lb Veyron. How much rolling resistance would it have at 250 mph? Related question, how much horsepower does a car like that produce at top speed (how much total friction does it experience)?

Are the legs in a split phase power systems necessarily an inverse of each other? The way I, vaguely, understand it is that they’re just hooked up to opposite sides of the winding so it’s similar to a single water pump where one side experiences a push and the other experiences an equal pull. So you can only get a 180 degree shift with split phase. Is this correct? Also, if not, is the way phase shifting occurs in in a two phase system significantly different than than in a split phase system?

I found an old set theory question on stackexchange, and one of the answers seems really wrong, but I don't know enough about set theory to be sure. See pic related.
As far as I can tell, 5 should be false regardless of whether it is referring to a subset or a proper subset.
One of the guys answering says that it actually becomes true if the notation means "proper subset of," but isn't that just making the relationship *more* restrictive?
To my understanding, Y is not a subset, proper or otherwise, of Z, because the null set is not in Z (although the null set is a subset of Z.)
And when he says "the null set is contained in every set," isn't that wrong? I thought the null set is a *subset* of every set, but it's not *in* every set. Or in other words, the contents of the null set are in every set, but the null set itself is not.

Are dark matter/energy real, or were they just invented by physicists to make the numbers add up? I know that our current theories of the universe don't hold up without them, but is there any evidence that they actually exist? If not, then it just seems like a desperate attempt to patch up incorrect theories.

Dark matter is a placeholder for "something that we can't observe via light that acts as an apparent mass" or something like that. it basically means our theories are incomplete because we can't explain galactic behavior without introducing something new that we haven't observed directly
there are many candidates for what dark matter might be. the current favorite theory is axions, because they answer the Strong CP problem as well.

I'm running a 10s simulation of a spinning top and trying to find the time period of the oscillation by plotting the center of mass x and z-position.
Its almost entirely consistent from t=1.5s, but before that, the max and min amplitudes have a kind of zig zag spike before continuing with the consistent slope. pic related, top graph shows the first 2 seconds with the spikes, bottom shows first 4 seconds with consistent period.
I think this is how the program approximates the results, but I'm not sure. Did I fuck up somewhere along the way?

Yeah, when I simulate it with a step size of 0.01, it noticeably wobbles at the beginning. When I run it with a step size of 0.05 it looks smooth and normal.
The graph is tracing the center of mass of the top.
webm attached shows same simulation, step size 0.01 and 0.05.

it could be stabilizing? unless you're already initializing it in its stable motion
a smaller step size should always be more accurate. the larger step size might look smoother but that's just because it's ignoring the initial wobbling

is this a physics-based modeling? if not then forget everything I said because it shouldn't wobble if you're not including physics.

I'm not sure if that's the case, the was top started at an angle and was given an initial angular velocity of 40 Hz.
I don't think I did anything wrong, so I assume that the wobble/spikes are result of a numerical approximation
and this is physics based modeling.

well, you made a lot of statements but then, on an unrelated note, you said that it was impossible that moving dk requires fewer than 2^(k-1) - 1 moves, without saying why it's impossible.

I'll assume that it could be shown pretty easily with what you have if you just analyzed the recursive algorithm you're describing a little more, or maybe I'm just a brainlet.

The roots of s^2+2.ω0.ζ.s+ω0^2=0 are s=-ω0.ζ±ω0√(ζ^2-1). In the time domain, x(t)=a1.e^(s1.t)+a2.e^(s2.t) where s1, s2 are the roots.

If ζ=0 (undamped), then s=±i.ω0; in the time domain, this is a constant-amplitude sinusoidal oscillation.
If |ζ|=1 (critically damped), then s=-ω0.ζ, a duplicate root which is real and negative. In the time domain, this is a.t.e^(-ω0.t).
If |ζ|<1 (underdamped), √(ζ^2-1) is imaginary so the roots form a complex conjugate pair; in the time domain, you have (e^-ηt).cos(ωt+φ), i.e. an exponentially-decaying sinusoid.
If |ζ|>1 (underdamped), √(ζ^2-1) is real and you have two distinct real roots, meaning exponential decay in the time domain.
