actually no, i'm retarded. V must be a field as well, not just a vector space since we define multiplication of two of its elements. It must still be closed under addition and multiplication.

Scratch that, V should be a field, and a polynomial is a function T:V -> V that produces linear combinations of scalings of powers of x.

listen man, when you learn calculus first it's pretty amazing. Then you learn lin alg and it's pretty amazing. Then you learn the construction of real numbers and that's pretty amazing. Then you look at complex analysis, and integration along lines, and it's pretty amazing. Math is pretty amazing, and the more you learn the more cool it is. Just because you know something very well, doesn't mean it's cool; it just means you're acclimated to how amazing it is.

I bet when you were a kid and the teacher told you about the number e, you were like "shit, that's actually kinda neat". Now dealing with e is like "eh whatever". But you should still realize that's in cool, you're just used to the coolness that youdon't notice it anymore.

That is more a physics questions than maths. In general the metric could be anything however the invariant interval for relativistic proper time, in natural units, is [math](dS)^2 = (dx)^2 + (dy)^2 + (dz)^2 - (dt)^2[/math]. That is the same quantity no matter the reference frame and if you integrate you are essentially calculating the "distance between two events". So by inspection you can see the space indices are +ve while the time one is -ve.

So I'm really stupid help me out. There's a TV game show in which you have to answer a question correctly being given four answers. You can also use a certain number of "lives" in which you choose between two options and one is eliminated. You lose three of this lives if you give the wrong answer no matter how many you used to help you out. What's the best option if you have no clue?

I can go as far as:
using no lives is (0 + 3 + 3 + 3) / 4 = 2.25
using 3 lives is... well 3

Then I went:
using one life is (1 x 0.75 + 4 x 0.75 + 4 x 0.75) / 3 = 2.25
using two lives is (2 x 0.75 x 0.66 + 5 x 0.75 x 0.66) / 2 = 2.98

For left homotopy, consider the cylinder diagram with both your standard Cyl(X) and the possibly non-standard cylinder object C. By assumption, there is a left homotopy between f and g, so there will be a left homotopy K: C -> Y. Define a map between h: Cyl(X) -> C by choosing any of the two maps X -> Cyl(X), then taking its homotopy inverse, and then composing that with the corresponding map X -> C. Finally, define H: Cyl(X) -> Y as the composite of h and K. Check commutativity to see that this is a left homotopy, and apply 4.71.

Help me /sci/, this stupid problem is driving me crazy.

I'm trying to prove the statement in pic related. Basically, I want to "restrict" f(x) along a specific direction h, and prove that, unless the origin is an extremum point, this "restricted" f is monotone.

This seemed a piece of cake in my head, just take the gradient as h and it's done. But this leads to fucking nowhere: clearly the linear approximation is some "sort of" restriction, but I feel like I have no results on the *actual* f_h.

Am I missing something obvious? Or am I just retarded?

You know the derivative of f_h and you know that the derivative is continuous and positive in a neighborhood of 0 (for the h chosen above). We also know that if in an interval a real function has positive (resp negative) derivative, then it's monotone increasing (resp decreasing).

Is it a realistic goal to cover groups and rings (not everything about them of course) in 15 days? Should I use Dummit and Foote? Thanks.

So which two options do you have to choose between?
And what do you mean by "one is eliminated"?
The one you chose is eliminated? One is eliminated at random?
What does it mean for an answer to be eliminated? Do you now have to choose again between the remaining answers? Can you use a life again?

Subjects' designations without the syllabus aren't very informative, but I suspect you wouldn't get a taste of topology as you imagine it as it's a point-set one, I assume. Course named geometry can mean too many things.

I would usually say topology is necessary. It is especially necessary if you intend on graduate school in pure math. The fact that this isn't required is sad.
If ODEs is a theory-heavy class, that. If it's "how 2 solve second order linear ODEs" then don't bother. Similarly for PDEs. Third choice is definitely diff geo.

well, I've certainly benefitted by asking this from your topology point. I can supply more info if you'd like. The geometry is
>Topics selected from projective geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, algebraic geometry, convexity, differential geometry, foundations of geometry, combinatorial topology.

which sounds like a hodgepodge desu. there is another course that simply says "topics in euclidean and non-euclidean geometry".

sorry if these questions are asked a lot, getting advice on this is nice though, as i have no idea.

>>12777782
Awesome, the syllabus for the 'theoretical' (should've included that in the title) ODE class is
>Vector fields and phase flows in the plane. Geometric and algebraic properties of linear systems. Existence, uniqueness, and continuity theorems for systems. Additional topics.

can i self study topology and not hurt my grad school chances? I will double check and see if I can fit it in anywhere. you would say that topology is more important than diff geo? I kinda wanted to learn diff geo from pic rel anyway

Don't get it twisted, but solving, say, e^x=2 can only be done approximately, that's why we introduce the logarithm function to talk about the solution x=ln(2). Same here with the W function. I imagine one can produce some sort of infinite series expansion giving the solution exactly.

yeah, that's a good ODE class. topology and differential geometry are both nice, but if you want to go to grad school for pure math, unless you did a significant amount of metric space topology in real analysis, then you're not going to be in a good position if you have no formal topology background.
is your differential geometry a class on curves and surfaces, or a class on manifolds? no grad school will care about a class on curves and surfaces.

I didn't assume you seriously consider a math grad aftewards, like it may not really be helpful with finance. Do you have an endgoal?

I guessed right that the curriculum is only about point-set topology. That is a standart intro, but it doesn't scratch the surface of what people mean by "topology" aka algebraic topology, like no homology or homotopy. Point-set is the boring cornerstone everybody has to go through first though.
>>12777970
Geometry curriculum sounds more fun.

>can i self study topology and not hurt my grad school chances?
Why not. Munkres' book is a great introduction. It also has a good overview of basic set theory, like choice, cardinality etc.. In case you're not yet familiar with those, it's a comfy introduction.
Then comes much more fun algebraic topology. Hatchers' book seems to be the most renowned introduction http://pi.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/AT.pdf
That text is a lot more straightforward, but it's not fit for first read https://lniat.sitehost.iu.edu/m621notessecondedition.pdf#theorem.4.10

>>12778744
Gauss-Bonnet theorem requires some familiarity with algebraic topology, unless it's left without proof or used in special cases only in "engineering" fashion. Its proof actually requires lots of stuff beyond your previously mentioned courses, like you're supposed to be fluent with manifolds. So either that elective has more advanced prerequisites or it's meant for the applied math folks.
In case you're interested in that stuff, check out Lee's introduction to smooth manifolds or the more brief Tu's introduction to manifolds.

The number one is getting to study math longer in grad school. If that flops, I'd like to pivot to development in areas I'm interested in, and finance seems interesting and high paying.

The geometry cirriculum did sound fun, but I'd worry with so many topics crammed into 8-12 weeks I'd only have a first impression of all the stuff, I'd rather go deeper and do less, but what do I know.

Thanks for the topology books. I know I can self study, but I'm not sure if not having topology courses on a transcript is a big negative despite self studying.

>>12779094
I've learned set theory, I read that little Naive set theory book too. I don't know how deep set theory goes, but I'll take the intro. It'll surely introduce topology at least.

I like doing math. Well, I enjoy studying it in my free time anyway. Not sure if I'd like doing PhD work necessarily, but I have this feeling I'll regret not trying. I like proof based stuff a lot more than the mostly computational stuff I've done so far in my undergrad, I'm really looking forward to these more theoretical courses.

I'm not taking that many CS classes; I was going to double major, since I've filled all the lower division requirements, but at this point I'm just going to take a few more that I think are relevant to the work I'd like to do. Being that a lot of people drop PhDs, I think a fallback isn't a terrible idea.

If you're not in a rush for it and planning to spend more time on math, then you may not need superficial courses related to stat.
Instead you can begin with measure theory which is behind the framework of (formal) probability theory. Then you can take a course/read a book which treats probability mathematically. I don't know if it gives a huge advantage for applications, but as a mathematician you'll have to know it anyway.
Some economists use quite advanced measure theory in their papers.
https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~hunter/measure_theory/ is a good overview.

Basically you should ignnore everything applied and take only mathematical courses in that case.

There's no a specific need to go into measure theory too deeply, just try to learn the stuff needed for probability, that's really not a lot.
If your course doesn't treat probability in its generality, then you can take a book which does and read on the topics they've told you about.
The basic concepts like probability space and random variable are defined in terms of measure theory. The whole apparatus of probability is build on measure theory.

for finance

the rest is for being an alpha math graduate. You cant'be good at finance and general maths at the same time. THe maths are jsut too different. you have to choose.

Also dont forget that

maths is useless to get rich. Math is only used because
-atheists think that using maths will turn any field as a ''''''''''''''science'''''''''''
-atheists think that an asset has ''''''''''''''fundamental value'''''''''''''(see the brainlet like graham and so on)
-atheists already in finance use math already and value everything with their formulas, but it doesn't mean the value they output is actually the '''''''''''''''''fundamental value''''''''''' of the asset. it's just that everybody right now uses the same formulas, so they just cling to the same delusion and pass it as reality and they price the same asset with the same formula at the same time so they agree the ''real'' price of the asset is the output of their formula.

Sinice you want to do finance, start day trade casually to know the tools.
If you want to earn money with finance, then buy nasdaq and an etf world.
If you want to trade, do it every day and just follow the herd. You sell what other people sell and buy what other people buy.
Dont try to invent some crappy martingale or go against the herd.
Once you keep day trading for a few months, you try to time the market and also follow the herd.

Thanks for the links. Though maybe I shouldn't have said finance initially, I just thought if shit doesnt pan out the way I want with grad school I'd try to pursue that somehow.

Before you take a class in voodoo ''economics'' you should take a coruse in finance. It's like taking a logic class before doing maths. It helps a lot for seeing who talks rubbish or not.
Economics of Money and Banking
https://www.coursera.org/learn/money-banking

https://www.naturalmoney.org/moneyandbanking-02.html
This document contains redacted course notes of the second part of the course Economics of Money and Banking by Professor Perry G. Mehrling of Columbia University in the United States that is available on Coursera.org. This course explains the basics behind money and banking that are essential in understanding the financial system. According to Professor Mehrling, the financial system is about balancing flexibility and discipline.

Professor Mehrling builds on his own background in the history of monetary economics and financial economics. He sees himself in the American tradition of monetary thought that is based on the tradition of British central banking thought. Each generation had to rethink the underlying issues for themselves in order to make sense of the conditions of their own time. The current challenge is to work out the implications of financial globalisation for money, banking and central banking.

The Economics of Money & Banking

The last three or four decades have seen a remarkable evolution in the institutions that comprise the modern monetary system. The financial crisis of 2007-2009 is a wakeup call that we need a similar evolution in the analytical apparatus and theories that we use to understand that system. Produced and sponsored by the Institute for New Economic Thinking, this course is an attempt to begin the process of new economic thinking by reviving and updating some forgotten traditions in monetary thought that have become newly relevant.

Three features of the new system are central.

Most important, the intertwining of previously separate capital markets and money markets has produced a system with new dynamics as well as new vulnerabilities. The financial crisis revealed those vulnerabilities for all to see. The result was two years of desperate innovation by central banking authorities as they tried first this, and then that, in an effort to stem the collapse.

Second, the global character of the crisis has revealed the global character of the system, which is something new in postwar history but not at all new from a longer time perspective. Central bank cooperation was key to stemming the collapse, and the details of that cooperation hint at the outlines of an emerging new international monetary order.
Third, absolutely central to the crisis was the operation of key derivative contracts, most importantly credit default swaps and foreign exchange swaps. Modern money cannot be understood separately from modern finance, nor can modern monetary theory be constructed separately from modern financial theory. That's the reason this course places dealers, in both capital markets and money markets, at the very center of the picture, as profit-seeking suppliers of market liquidity to the new system of market-based credit.

Remember for linear algebra:
A singular matrix is non-invertible and the determinant is 0.
A non-singular matrix is invertible and the determinant is not equal to zero.
An analogy would be if you are single, you don't have the inverse of your gender, and therefore it is determined you will have 0 offspring.
If you are non-singular, you have the inverse of your gender and you will have offspring.

>MTH 464, 465: Numerical Optimization I, II

turns out there's a third course in the series offered in all of Analysis, Abstract Alg, Diff Geo, Topology, and ODEs, and I'm unsure how important taking any / all of those would be. I can tack a couple extra classes on nbd, but much more than that and I'm looking at potentially taking another term.

And what is the goal? To get as many correct answers as possible before your lives run out?

And just to be clear, if you've used 1 live on an answer for example and then get it wrong, do you lose an additional 3 lives, or do you lose an additional 2 lives, making a total of 3 lives?

No. Generally, no real solutions means that there doesn't exist a solution in the Real Numbers. On the other hand, no analytical solutions means that no "plug & play" type solutions exist, but it might still have solutions in the Real Numbers. The typical approach then is to solve such solutions numerically often with the use of a computer.

Got it. Interesting problem.
The following numbers show the average number of "points" gained per live used, when applying the different strategies.
So it basically shows how efficiently these strategies convert lives to points.
>Using 1 live:
1*1/(1*1+2*4) * 1/1 + (2*4)/(1*1+2*4) * -1/4 = -1/9
>Using 2 lives:
1*2/(1*2+1*5) * 1/2 + (1*5)/(1*2+1*5) * -1/5 = 0
>Using 3 lives:
1/3

I'm having trouble explaining the calculations cause it's actually pretty tricky.
But I ran some simulations and they gave the same results.
Using 3 lives seems to be the best strategy.

We still have to show that it's better than using 0 lives though.
So the following numbers show the expected number of points gained when using 0 vs 3 lives:
>Using 0 lives:
1/4 * 1 + 3/4 * -1 = -1/2
>Using 3 lives:
1

So yeah, using 3 lives is the best strategy.

So it turns out that I didn't ask my question clearly and was so confused why you all thought I was a brainlet. I meant to ask was why the infinite union was not possibly equal to B (proper subset?). The solutions manual had it differently and this one I understand. Thanks for making me feel bad about myself because Rudin's assblasting isn't already doing a great job of it. I'll be clearer next time, /mg/ has actually helped me out in the past.

What proportion of exercises should you be able to comprehend to say you understand a book, roughly? I only feel solid on half of my calculus exercises. I still get the gist after I read the solutions, but I'm definitely not at 100% comprehension. Is that abnormal?

you are facing this problem at the right time. Each solution should make sense to you. each. single. one. Because it's gonna get worse, so you better get your shit right on right now. That means that you don't let the problem go until you get it, and utilize all your resources to understand it.

I'm trying to prove that the projection of the first coordinate of a pullback of a homotopy equivalence along a fibration is a homotopy equivalence. Here's what I have so far. Let [math] f: A\to B[/math] be a homotopy equivalence and [math] p: E\to B[/math] be a fibration. Since f is a homotopy equivalence, there is a map [math]g: B\to A[/math] such that [math] fg\simeq 1_B, gf\simeq 1_A[/math]. Let [math] \tilde{f}: E\times_BA \to E, \tilde{p}: E\times_BA \to A[/math] be the projections respectively. Since [math] fg\simeq 1_B[/math], there is a homotopy [math] H: B\times I \to B[/math] such that [math] H_0 = 1_B, H_1 = fg[/math]. Composing by p, we get another homotopy [math] H^p: E\times I \to B [/math] such that [math]H^p_0 = p, H^p_1 = fgp[/math]. Let [math] E\to A[/math] be the map gp and let [math] E\to E[/math] be the map [math] H^p_0: E\to E[/math]. By the universal property of the pullback, there is a map [math]\tilde{g}: E\to E\times_B A[/math] that makes the pullback diagram commute. Clearly, [math] \tilde{f}\tilde{g} \simeq 1_E[/math]. However, I cannot show for the life of me that [math] \tilde{g}\tilde{f}\simeq 1_{E\times_B A}[/math]. please halp :c

One of my professors once told me that you understand a subject when you're able to pick up an arbitrary book on it and do all the exercises. I'm not sure where the line is when it comes to roughly understanding the book, probably depends a lot on the class and who you are.

I'm on chapter 2 of baby rudin and it defines metric space as any set with a distance function. Then they prove the theorem "every neighborhood is an open set". Their proof makes sense but doesn't it assume some sort of continuity to the metric space? the definition seems to allow for discrete sets. The integers form a metric space and the neighborhood about 0 of radius 2 contains a finite number of elements (3 exactly) and is obviously not open. did i miss something that said the space has to be continuous?

>>12791790
nvm i just needed another minute to think about it. somewhat counterintuitively, my example is an open set because every point is an interior point, since all neighborhoods of radius 0.5 contain only the center point, but a limit point needs to contain at least one other element in every neighborhood.

When answering a single question, the goal is not simply to lose as little lives as possible on that question.
Nor is the goal to have the highest chance of getting that question correct and moving up the prize ladder.
The ultimate goal is to be as far up the price ladder as possible once the game is finished.
To achieve this, the two previously mentioned goals are both important.
You need to have the right balance between minimizing life loss and maximizing points gained.
I took all of that into account.

Hey guys, mathlet here. I want to git gud at math for computer science, and I was adviced to read "Basic Mathematics" by Serge Lang. While I can read the book, and do most of the exercises, I struggle a lot with the "proofs". Should I go and do something like "Khan academy" precalculus, then come back to this book, or should I just tough it out, and finish the book?

from henceforth I introduce the all encompassingly inportant concept of the anti-element
an example as follows will demonstrate its function
let a set A contain the element x and set B contain only the counterpart anti element nega-x (B = {nega-x})
now taking the intersection of A and B will yield the expected empty set, however the union of two such sets produces A\{x}
x and nega-x are distinct objects and can not be contained in the same set and any attempt to do so will destroy both

I guess that strictly speaking fuzzy means [0,1]-valued, so instead I'm gonna say your generalized sets are elements of an algebra with coefficients 0, 1, or -1 satisfying 1+1=1, 1+(-1)=0, and so forth. If you choose your coefficients in an actual ring you can have even nicer behavior.

It is easier to show that a basis having a property implies the toplogy has the property than to show that the subbasis having it implies the topology has it.
So often times it's easier to use a basis instead of a subbasis if you can get away with it
