I have an algebraic curve C over the field of complex numbers and n given points, not necessarily distinct. Is there a general way to prove that the sum of these n points is a canonical divisor? I'd need a nonzero divisor of a differential form that is this sum plus a principal divisor.

Apparently I proved impossible what my professor is asking on an exercise.

Consider the algebraic curve [math]C := \{ (x:y:z)\in \mathbb{C}P^2\, ;\ x^4+y^4+z^4=0\}[/math], and let [math]P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4\in C[/math] be points, not necessarily distinct (they are more specific, but the data doesn't matter). He asks to show that [math]D := P_1+P_2+P_3+P_4[/math] is a canonical divisor of [math]C[/math].

What I did (in brief):
1. This is equivalent to the existence of [math]g\in \mathbb{C}(C)^\times[/math] with [math]\text{div}(g) + \text{div}\left( d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)\right) = D[/math];
2. [math]\text{div}\left( d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \right) = -2(P_{2, 0}+P_{2, 1}+P_{2,2} + P_{2,3}) [/math] where [math]P_{2, j} = (1 : 0 : \mu_8^{2j+1})[/math] for each [math]j[/math];
3. Taking degrees of both sides in 1 and using 2 we get the impossibility 0 - 8 = 4.

What am I doing wrong here?

Update. Apparently I am indeed wrong, the degree of the canonical divisor should be 2g-2 = 4. The first item should be correct, so d(x/y) should be canonical and thus have degree 4, so the mistake should be on the second item.
But I can't see how my calculation of that divisor is wrong. I used [math]d(x/y) = -(x/y)^2 d(y/x)[/math] and local parameters.

I'll give you some actual advice instead of these muh anons "math is joke".

The entirety of Calc 1 only requires a few things to be known:
- Functions
- Knowledge on factoring
- Exponents, logarithms, properties of each
- Some trig (unit circle)

Basically if you know at least 50% of the stuff posted on this website you are prepared to do Calc 1, albeit with a little more difficulty than if you had taken PreCalc: https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/index-college.html

You should only take PreCalc if you have little/no idea what the above topics I listed are.

All in all, as long as you have access to Khan Academy to explain some stuff that is new to you, you'll be more than ready to go to Calc 1.

Is calc course the circumcision of mathematics?
It's the first encounter with "serious" maths (like first sexual experience of the rabbi sucking out the blood), permanently traumatises the youth with shockingly nonsense axioms and constructions (like permanent brain trauma from shock during circumcision), and those who fail, can never do maths again (like a botched surgery, rendering unable to ever have sex). Those who take it, are forever going to only see the world like this, and do weird, increasingly degenerate, constructions with sets when a simpler, potentially constructive, alternative exists for those intact (think how circumcised men masturbate and have sex).
When it comes to teaching the youth analysis again, they'll do the same as what was done to them, the analogy here is obvious. The ethno-religious background is identical too.

Where I'm from, trig is one semester of precalc, and you should probably take that.

Calculus is actually pretty simple to understand if you ignore delta-epsilon proofs, or ignore all the "proofs" that are usually beyond the scope of an undergrad course.

Proof that the sum of 1/n^a for all Z+ a is 1/(n-1):

Take some dots
.....
Cross out the first dot
Thats 1/n
Take the second dot and expand it into more dots
.....
Then cross out one, thats 1/n^2
Keep doing it at all layers
At all layers you have 1/(n-1) plus the excluded dots fraction which is fractal
So you have a sum of 1/(n-1)s at each layer, giving by distribution a total as so.

Does anyone else get math obsessions? Whenever I dont understand a concept I get agony. I try to reframe all concepts in terms of pure axioms and ssince the universe runs on void energy I just go in spirals. When I look at a object I create alternatives and theyre endless. The combinatoric possibilities exponentially spiral out and my brain melts. How do I do math without getting overwhelmed?

Counting down to 0 by intersecting endsegments can only happen in steps of one natural number per
endsegment because from the definition

Ek \ {k} = {k, k+1, k+2, k+3, ...} \ {k} = {k+1, k+2, k+3, ...} = Ek+1

we find the bijection

subtract({k}) = Ek+1 . (3)

But no endsegment can be defined that contributes to reduce the intersection from an infinite set of
(1) to the empty set of (2). Only undefinable, so-called dark, endsegments with indexes not subject to
universal quantification in (1), can produce the empty intersection in (2) by deleting the infinite set
step by step or one by one – if (3) holds, i.e., if mathematics is valid for all steps

Why does every element of a residue-class ring mod n have a multiplicative inverse for prime n? Is there some sort of intuition behind this or is it just a fact of numbers I need to accept?

>> No.12612421

Imagine there is no multiplicative inverse for some a<p, then by pigeonhole you have b_1<b_2<p such that ab_1=a_b2 (mod p). This implies that a(b_2-b_1) is a multiple of p which is a contradiction. I think this gives some intuition.

Bit odd to say you can add velocities like that but if we consider each force as contributing a velocity vector that reaches equilibrium, if the force to velocity function is linear, it makes sense (which it is for non equilibrium force vectors, and if equilibrium is a sum of force plus its resistance I think it checks out but resistance can vary due to environment).

Pre-calculus is generally gonna be trigonometry.
Wouldn't skip unless you're very familiar. Large sections of calculus are based on unit circle manipulation and identities. I did know a guy who made it through calc 1 without it but he had to teach himself trig along the way and worked very hard at it.
If you aren't a very self motivated person or you are taking other heavy science or math classes simultaneously I would not recommend but if your other classes are humanities or something you could likely do it without much issue if you found a decent tutor through your University.

Suppose the distance were x miles. Then the speed of the ship plus the speed of the stream equals x/2 miles per day, and the speed of the ship minus the speed of the stream equals x/3 miles per day. The first equation minus the second equation yields twice the speed of the stream equals x/6 miles per day, so the speed of the stream is x/12 miles per day. A raft travels at the speed of the stream, so to travel x miles at x/12 miles per day would take 12 days. Of course, anyone who's not a retard could figure that out.

Alright, here's my proof of why it's impossible:

Lemma 0: The congruent parts cannot be a 2x4 rectangle.
The proof of this is trivial.

Lemma 1: The congruent parts cannot have a dimension of 5 (as in, a part either occupies both columns A and E or occupies both rows 0 and 4).
The proof of this is as follows: suppose the congruent parts have a dimension of 5. Without loss of generality, suppose one of the congruent parts occupied both columns A and E. Then the other two congruent parts cannot occupy both rows 0 and 4, as they would have to cross the first part, so they too must occupy both columns A and E. When the grid is cut, it is clear that there is a top part, a middle part, and a bottom part. Without loss of generality, suppose the removed square is below the middle part. If any of the middle part occupied row 4, it would be impossible for the top part to be above the middle part, so row 4 must be completely occupied by the top part. Then, in order to be congruent, the middle part occupies a complete row by itself. Call this row X. The space between row 4 and row X must be occupied by the three squares of the top part not in row 4 and, in order to maintain congruence between the top and middle part, either zero or three squares of the middle part not in row X. So the space must be occupied by either three or six squares. However, the space between row 4 and row X must be a multiple of five. Then it is a contradiction, and the congruent parts cannot have a dimension of 5.

Now for the actual proof:
There are four corners of the 5x5 grid: A1, A4, E1, and E4. By Lemma 1, a part cannot occupy more than one corner. Then three corners must be occupied by three different parts, and the fourth corner must be the square removed. Without loss of generality, the squares may be coloured like the picture, with red, green, and blue representing the squares occupied by the different parts, and the black square denoting the square removed.

Because both green and blue contain a straight line of four squares, red must too contain a straight line of four squares. Without loss of generality, suppose this straight line of four squares is horizontal. This straight line must occupy columns A through D of one of the rows from 1 to 4. It cannot be row 1, as that would prevent green from occupying eight squares. It cannot be row 2, as green would then have to be a 2x4 rectangle, which by Lemma 0, is impossible.

Suppose it were row 3. By Lemma 0, the three remaining red squares cannot be in row 4, so there must be a red square in row 2. Then there are red squares on both sides of the straight line of four red squares. For green to be congruent, there must be green squares on both sides of the straight line of four green squares. However, because the straight line of four green squares is on the bottom row, and it is impossible to make another straight line of four green squares (excluding the one that will make green a 2x4 rectangle), it is impossible for green squares to be on both sides of the straight line. So it cannot be row 3.

Suppose it were row 4. By Lemma 1, A1, A2, and A3 must be occupied by red or green. In order for red and green to be congruent, D1, D2, and D3 must be occupied by the opposite color of A3, A2, and A1 respectively. However, if D1, D2, and D3 are occupied by red and green, then blue cannot occupy the necessary eight squares. Then it cannot be row 4.

Therefore, it is impossible to remove a square from a 5x5 grid and cut the remaining squares into three congruent parts. QED.

I'll be honest here, all this blogposting that has been happening in the last few threads is extremely annoying. I don't really care about your personal life and what stuff you're into. I'm just here to talk about mathematics like everyone else. So please, have some self-awareness and restrain the subject of your posts to be strictly about math.

OK, so I can give you an example that will not be a toy example. It's known as the Universal Coefficient Theorem. I don't know how much you know about homology, so I'll give you the basics first. If it sparks your interest, I recommend Rotman's book on algebraic topology.

First of all, a chain complex of [math]R[/math]-modules would be a sequence of modules and their homomorphisms [math]C_* = \cdots \to C_{n+1} \xrightarrow{\partial_{n+1}} C_n \xrightarrow{\partial_n} C_{n-1} \to \cdots[/math], one for each integer, such that [math]\partial_n \circ \partial_{n+1} = 0[/math] for all indices. This is the same thing as [math]\text{im} (\partial_{n+1}) \le \ker(\partial_n)[/math], so we may loo at the homology of this complex, and it is given by [math]H_n(C_*) = \ker(\partial_n)/ \text{im}(\partial_{n+1})[/math], for any integer n. Notice that vanishing homology for some n means exactness at [math]C_n[/math] in the complex. Let's then assume we are interested in the homology of some space [math]X[/math], and that [math]C_* = C_*(X; \mathbb{Z})[/math] is for example the singular chain complex (and now the ring is the integers). The groups in the complex vanish for negative indices, and for non-negatives we obtain [math]H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) = H_n(C_*)[/math], the nth (integral) singular homology group of [math]X[/math]. So far so good, no need for exact sequences.

>>12617428
Next, we ask what happens if we tensor the complex with some abelian group [math]A[/math] (over the integers). We obtain the complex [math]C_*(X; A) = \cdots \to C_{n+1}\otimes A \xrightarrow{\partial_{n+1} \otimes 1_A} C_n\otimes A \xrightarrow{\partial_n \otimes 1_A} C_{n-1}\otimes A \to \cdots[/math], the homology of which gives us [math]H_*(X; A)[/math], the singular homology of [math]X[/math] with coefficients in [math]A[/math]. This is where many who see this the first time would assume "oh but [math]H_n(X; A) \cong H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) \otimes A[/math]", which is not true in general. Instead, there is an exact sequence [math]0 \to H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})\otimes A \to H(X; A) \to \text{Tor}(H_{n-1}(X; \mathbb{Z}), A) \to 0[/math] for every [math]n\ge 0[/math] ([math]H_{-1}(X; \mathbb{Z}) = 0[/math]). Even better, yet not completely perfect: this sequence is split exact: [math]H_n(X; A) \cong H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})\otimes A \oplus \text{Tor}(H_{n-1}(X; \mathbb{Z}), A)[/math], but not naturally (for example Dylan Wilson's answer in https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/33685/what-does-splitting-naturally-mean-in-the-universal-coefficients-theorem).).

Some immediate things that follow from the UCT:
(1) If the group [math]A[/math] is torsion-free, then [math]Tor(-, A)=0[/math], and so [math]H_n(X; A) \cong H(X; \mathbb{Z}) \otimes A[/math].
(2) If [math]H_n(X; \mathbb{Z}) \otimes A = 0[/math], then [math]H_n(X; A) \cong \text{Tor}(H_{n-1}(X; \mathbb{Z}, A)[/math].
(3) [math]H_0(X; A) \cong H_0(X; \mathbb{Z}) \otimes A[/math].
If now [math]H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})[/math] is all torsion, or even a finite group, then it vanishes when tensored with [math]\mathbb{Q}[/math], and (2) applies. Furthermore, the rationals are torsion-free, so (1) applies and we get [math]H_n(X; \mathbb{Q}) = 0[/math]. Many such cases!

"Good" compared to the average person was when I got medals in math olympiads (very, very far from IMO level, but it was something) during early high school, and by that time I noticed that I could do it because I had a combination of a good math teacher in my last elementary school year who'd give lots of exercises every class, and new performance demands at home.
But good at real mathematics... I did fairly better than the average math undergrad, but that just means having a minimum of math maturity. At PhD courses I'm being very close to average (probably below), and I have no idea how I'd do on research, probably bad at first.

Probably just exercise count. The first exercise is
>1.1. Locate a discussion of Russell’s paradox, and understand it
and is one of 6 problems in its subchapter
Which in usual undergrad books comes near the end of a list of 20-30 exercises.
The problem being that each subchapter performs the function that a chapter in something like beachy would. The difficulty in algebra comes from understanding the concepts, theorems and proofs and being able to supply proofs and the calculation is usually straightforward. For example in one experement most math phds spent hours trying to solve a given geometry problem taken from a middleschool textbook. Remember at one point most problems were research problems and the less the author gives the student to work with the harder the problem becomes.
all in all taking a semester of algebra from an easy book and having more to background knowledge to read aluffi is easier than filling in everything that aluffi leaves out.
Also, its still a bit ahead of it's time for teaching category theory to non-graduates

>Then [math]\beta > x, x\in A[/math]
and I know you mean some x in A, but I would interpret that as "for all x in A" if I had to grade your solution. Nothin' personnel, kid, but if you are to use quantifiers on x like that, you shouldn't leave x unquantified later. Add "for some" or use "[math]\exists x\in A: x < \beta[/math]" instead!

Unironically this. First concepts from different areas, not only algebra, and then categories. Without examples, CT is total gibberish.

Haven't done math in a year after doing nothing but math for three years. Should I get back where I left or should I redo the basics?

I'm exactly as you are. I finished my bachelor's in math and then stopped because my graduate degree is in a meme applied science field. I'm personally going over the basics (analysis, abstract algebra) to get my proof skills back and then plan on getting back to where I was.

Why are all videos explaining the euler maclaurin summation formula so dumb?
It's like a bunch of midwits just read the wikipedia article and don't really understand what is going on.

I dont see a stupid questions general but i need help on a calculus problem. you dont have to give me the answer but if someone could help me get started. its a max/min problem with lagrange multipliers. I can visualize the problem, its a square on the curve but what would that make the constraint equation? its some kind of multi-parabola looking thing.

its a square on the curve of the surface of that equation which looks like an upward bowl, to clarify.

Most books are pretty bad too desu.
I have a better proof than anywhere I've seen that also allows for generalization.
You can derive the bernoulli polynomials/numbers and the summation formula with remainder in less than a page using very basic principles/motivations.
It only requires simple integration by parts, with the motivation of telescoping series.
The bernoulli polynomials/numbers fall out effortlessly.

OP here, maybe I can use x^1000 + y^1000 = 2 as the equation.

I'll share it. I think people will appreciate the simplicity and hopefully make use of the idea.
First natural thing to do: keep repeating integration by parts on the integral of 1*f.

[math]\int\limits_{0}^{1}1*f(x)dx = \int\limits_{0}^{1}p_{0}(x)*f(x)dx \\
= \sum\limits_{m=0}^{M-1}(-1)^{m+1}[p_{m+1}(x)*f^{(m)}(x)]_{0}^{1}+ (-1)^M\int\limits_{0}^{1}p_{M}(x)*f^{(M)}(x)dx \\
where\ \ p'_{m+1}=p_{m}. [/math]

Ignoring the error and letting M = infinity gives you infinitely many constants of integration (one for each p_m, m>0) to freely choose.
What would be a "convenient" choice for all of them?
Wouldn't it be awesome if they were chosen so that if the formula was applied to [0,1] and added to the formula applied to [1,2] then there would be maximal cancellation for all derivatives of f at 1? (Telescoping)

[math]Let\ P(x,t)= \sum\limits_{m=0}^{\infty}t^mp_m(x).\\
P(x,0)=1\ and\ P_x=tP\ so\ P(x,t)=k(t)e^{xt}\ where\ k(0)=1.\\
Telescoping\ at\ all\ derivatives\ of\ f\ would\ mean\ P(1,t)-P(0,t)=0.\\
This\ can't\ happen\ since\ p_1(1)-p_1(0)=1\ no\ matter\ which\ constant\ of\ integration\ is\ chosen.\\
The\ best\ that\ can\ be\ done\ is\ P(1,t)-P(0,t)=t.\\
So\ k(t)*(e^t-1)=t,\ resulting\ in\ k(t)={t \over e^t-1}\ and\ P={te^{xt} \over e^t-1}.[/math]

The euler maclaurin summation formula and the generating function for bernoulli polynomials/numbers are obvious from here.

I'll let you derive the "midpoint" method which has a much better error term.
The trick for the midpoint method is to break [0,1] in half and use two alternating methods for the interval [0,1/2].
P1 = k1(t)e^(xt) and P2 = k2(t)e^(xt).
P1(1/2,t)-P2(0,t) = t and P2(1/2,t) - P1(0,t) = 0.
