Personally, I really like Grimmett & Stirzaker's Probability. See if you can solve that, if it's too hard for you, use Feller.
And I recommend you don't read that garbage book that is Casella & Berger, but I can't suggest any non-measure theoretic alternatives either. I have heard some anons say good things about Georgii's, Stochastics, which does probability and statistics both.

Firstly $x \in [x - \epsilon, x + \epsilon]$ is a tautology. I'm sure you meant $x \in [x_0 - \epsilon, x_0 + \epsilon]$ instead.
Either way consider a function that takes negative values like the constant function $f(x) = -1$ as a simple counterexample.

https://matheducators.stackexchange.com/questions/20649/why-do-so-many-people-hate-math
How would you answer this question?
>>
>>15149774
imo the problem is a lack of passion from math teachers. School math is taught in an incredibly boring way and this is because the teachers and the people who set the syllabus do not care about math. It is rare to find a math teacher with any further education in math. Students look up to and mimic their teachers, but now the teachers don't care and lazily memorized formulas and hate math themselves. If you want students that like math, find teachers that like math (mathematicians).
>>
>>15149669
We want to show
$\forall\, x_{0} \in D^{n}\, \forall \epsilon > 0\, \exists\, \delta > 0\, \forall x \in D^n: |x_{0} - x| \leq \delta \implies |g(x_{0}) - g(x)| \leq \epsilon\ (1)$

proof
>f is continuous, i.e.
$\forall\, x_{0} \in D^{n}\, \forall \epsilon > 0\, \exists\, \delta > 0\, \forall x \in D^n: |x_{0} - x| \leq \delta \implies |f(x_{0}) - f(x)| \leq \epsilon$
>choose a random x_0 and a random epsilon
>all x have to be contained in a delta-circle, since f is continuous
>all f(x) have to be contained in the epsilon-circle
>construct the tangents of these two inner circles, they will project onto the S^(n -1) outer circle
>the distance of the ends of this projection is the epsilon in (1); the delta in (1) is the delta we had used in the beginning
something like this, is how I would do it
>>
>>15149790
I don't think teachers are fully to blame. Some students simply don't like math, because they have other interests. They hate math, because for them it's a subject that they have to put up with in order to get to things they have more interest in or talent for. I've witnessed it many times that people actually prefer the boring memorizing/number crunch part of math because it's easier and therefore they have to spend less time on it.

i had an exam question which asked me to check if two matrices but i had a retard moment and forgot the core property of similar matrices and instead of checking if the trace/determinant/whatever were the same (which would have allowed me to say that they are NOT similar if they werent equal) here's what i did, can anyone tell me if it's correct anyway?

Let A and B be the two matrices
they are similar iff there exists an invertible matrix S such that $A=S^{-1}BS \\ SA=SS^{-1}BS\\SA=BS\\SA-BS=0\\S(A-B)=0$ at this point i multiply S by the matrix A-B and get the null matrix which isn't invertible which means that A and B are not similar.

I absolutely hate probability, can someone help me with two assignment questions?

"At a school there are 40% girls and 60% boys. Three quarters of the girls and half of the boys have a tablet. We randomly select a student and look at the event:

J = "the student is a girl" and N = "the student has a tablet"

a) Determine the probabilities P(N | J) and P(N).
b) Determine the probability P(J | N)."

And lastly, I've done the first part of this but the second question fucks me.

"On a pin code lock, we can see that the numbers 1, 3 and 4 are heavily worn, so we assume that the pins required are made up of those three numbers"

B) If the code has four digits: how many different 4-digit codes are there, that only
using the digits 1, 3 and 4? (NOTE: make sure you actually use all three of these digits!)
>>
>>15150222
b) is 1/2.
10% are girls with no tablet
30% are boys with no tablet
30% are girls with tablet
30% are boys with tablet
We sum up the latter two categories to make 60%.
So P(J | N) = 30%/60% = 1/2

B) is 36.
We know that one of the numbers is used twice, and the other two once each. So that can be any one of the three numbers.
We then find the number of possible combinations given two of one number, and one each of two other numbers. That's 4!/2! = 12.
So the answer is 12*3 = 36
>>
>>15150201
Matrices are not commutative
S(A-B) = SA-SB, this is not usually equal to SA-BS
>>
>>15150337
Ahh now it makes sense.

In B), how do you calculate that it's "4!/2! = 12."
4! because of the 4 possible digits and..2! from... what?

12*3 is understandable, where the "3" is the number of digits, correct?
>>
>>15150410
Yes.
>2! from... what?
One of the numbers is duplicated, so it's actually 2!*1!*1!.

I agree, I don't know about other countries, but here there we have a mathematical literacy subject from grades 10 to 12 for people who won't need real math later. I think this is a good idea. But the problem persists in the real math classes and even calc and linear algebra where the students /should/ care. Another problem is that students often approach the subjects with the single goal of getting good grades (or merely passing; equally useless), this again is something that got reinforced from a young age, but this is also a problem outside of math.

Using a language I made is an easier task for me than using a language someone else made. It either does what I think it should do the way I think it should do it, or it gets changes until it does.

I guess I can try to make some kind of typesetter other than latex, since all I really need is a PDF with maids in the margins and also draw Maid Space like a 2d array of black and white pixels?

With latex I am just stealing from how matrices are printed, but changing the number to square or blacksquare. I think it looks nice.

Same way you debug any language, really:

I guess this is a good workflow to debug a program if you don't have any tools capable of actually debugging a program? Ideally you'd click by a line of text and it makes a breakpoint and you run a debugger and go in the breakpoint and see what is happening.

I guess Latex never implemented something like this because it is very old?

Either way it works now. Just had to delete some files. I think it was either caching or building something wrong in an aux file and deleting that made it happy.

I am not entirely sure what an aux file is but that is my guess and I don't have to care what it is now because document compiles again and looks how I want it.

For compact manifolds with boundary you can have stuff like $e^x$ restricted to $[0, 1][math].

1) : write Sx and Sy in terms of the Sz basis, then sandwich the state you were given around that

2) : write Sy in the Sz basis, and do <X|Sy>

3) : perform the dot product in H to get the hamiltonian as a function of the i coordinate (why do they switch between i and x for this problem? retarded). convert this into the z-basis and then exponentiate this operator as U(t)=e^-iHt/hbar (you should know how to exponentiate matrices, no?). then perform <-|U(t)|+> where -, + are the spin-down and up eigenstates

4) : swap this B-field for that in problem 3, do the same steps but now it's easier to convert the hamiltonian from z-basis to y-basis since your initial state is in the y-eigenbasis

Is my motor going to have to work harder at lower depths?
intuitively I think it would because of the pressure, but it seems like buoyant force should be working in my favor, and I'm just pushing up to displace water. I'm really hoping that's right because it would mean I can go way deeper.

Am I retarded?

Can anyone answer me a few questions about writing a paper?

If certain document states something and provides the reader with the sources used to make such statement, it would be correct for me to cite such statement as done by the author?
Might sound stupid as the autor of the paper is the one that made the statement, but I need certainty

If i happen to copy several sources that are making up the structure of another paper because my topic is similar enough, would that count as plagiarism?
I'm not taking their conclusions as mine, only their sources. Still, I wonder if I'd need to check the sources myself to get at least a new interpretation of the content

And, what should I actually be looking inside a scientific document in general?
Can I cite anything?
Or it should be correct to only cite the conclusions of a document?

Not my area, but it's needed to cite anything math-related such as the authors of formulas if I want to write let's say an statistics manual?
Besides the formulas that have an known author, if anything

Any more tips on how to actually write a document are welcome, as I have only found information on the basic structure and planning of scientific documents.

I've been thinking about Boy Girl paradox ("at least one" version). Following order of operations, you end up with 25%. Not following order gives 50%. Then there are those who are wrong and say it's 33%, by thinking BG and GB are different in an unordered example. Saying they're different means you care about the order, but they still insist on not following order to get the result.
So my question is, is there a name to this fallacy, which I could best describe as "applying ordered probabilities to unordered events"?

Also, don't bother trying to bait me into an argument about logic. It's not really relevant to the question anyway.

Is there a simple function $f: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{Q}$ such that it returns any rational within a line segment denoted by two real numbers?

Given two real numbers a and b, represent them both in binary and look for the first place where they differ (i.e. where a has digit 0 and b has digit 1). Then truncate up to that digit (i.e. get the common initial prefix of the binary representations of a and b) and you have a (dyadic) rational in betwen them.

Full details of my question here: >>>/diy/2550788 thanks >> how would you simulate stellar bodies interacting with each other the same way they do in reality? Like if I want to simulate the moon orbiting the earth, I'd create 2 pairs of point + velocity vectors, position them and set an initial velocity, then each time step update position based on velocity, and update velocity based on current velocity and position relative to the other object(s) factoring in mass. The problem here is that reliance on position and this 3rd person reference frame. obviously it doesn't exist in reality, same with orientation. There are no coordinates to position things at, and you can't move the moon in the '+x' direction. So how do I get around this? how do I have orientation-less, position-less points that can interact with each other to change their relative distance to each other? I can think of just storing distance from any point to every other point, but then you need to be able to manipulate that, like in an elliptical orbit, distance would be some function that oscillates between 380k km and 390k km, which seems simple, but then as soon as you add another point into the mix, it's not so simple any more >> hello smart anons, thank you for helping dummy former neets like me get through college. Have a nice day. >> >>15157752 You are right, all velocities are relative. However acceleration is not, and you can't have orbits without acceleration (gravity). The simulation each time step will calculation velocities (and hence position updates) based upon the total acceleration (force) acting on the body. >> >>15157724 that anon in your thread gave that correct answer. one ground is "input" and the other is "output". its just so you can provide ground to your pump. as for the difference between live, ground, and neutral, live is the positive voltage, ground is zero volts, and neutral is the negative voltage. imagine if you stacked two AA batteries on top of each other. measuring the voltage from the middle node (where the two batteries meet) to the top would be 1.5v, and measuring from the bottom to the middle is also 1.5v, but measuring from the bottom to the top is 3v. thats basically whats happening when youre measuring 110v across live/neutral to ground, and 220v measuring from live to neutral. they're two sin waves that are 180 degrees out of phase (flipped over, basically), so you get double the voltage. three-phase power is also common, which would be a sin wave thats 120 degrees out of phase with live, which ends up with $110\sqrt{3}$ volts, which is like 170 or something. >> >>15157789 >The simulation each time step will calculation velocities (and hence position updates) based upon the total acceleration (force) acting on the body. how would it do that though? Like if I'm thinking of 2 points "orbiting" each other, from the perspective of each point, there is no motion at all, they are both perfectly still in relation to each other and are not moving closer despite the mass they have that should be pulling them closer. (I'm assuming orbits still make sense with points, real stellar bodies are composed of many points so an orbiting body grows closer and further away from each of those instead, maybe I can't make this assumption however?) you also can't store velocities between time steps since it's not a real property. I suppose maybe you could infer it? if the distance equation doesn't change despite the acceleration, then there must be some movement between the 2 points, and I guess the direction of that movement is irrelevant until you insert another point to 'triangulate' the movement also aside, but I'm guessing the concept of movement doesn't exist in a single point system (does time even exist in such a system???) >> >>15157792 > as for the difference between live, ground, and neutral, live is the positive voltage, ground is zero volts, and neutral is the negative voltage. This is nonsense. Neutral and ground are at roughly the same potential (they're connected together at the main board). The difference is that neutral carries the return current, ground isn't supposed to carry any current. Any exposed metal (e.g. casing) is supposed to be connected to ground so that if any live part comes into contact with exposed metal, it trips a fuse or breaker (but if there's a RCD, that will trip first). >> >>15157833 i dont think thats true. its common to ground casing for that reason, and ground usually isnt supposed to carry any current, but in the US (i suspect youre a bong since you called them RCDs instead of GFCIs) you arent gonna trip any breaker or blow a fuse if you run current to ground. OP said it himself (in the other thread): >Touching one of the leads to the input neutral and the other to ground or output also gave me 110V. if you have a washing machine power outlet that you can probe youre welcome to go see this for yourself. in regular power outlets, live and neutral are identical. >> >>15157829 > Like if I'm thinking of 2 points "orbiting" each other, from the perspective of each point, there is no motion at all, Incorrect. The motion is the same as one point orbiting the other. The distance doesn't change, the direction does. > you also can't store velocities between time steps since it's not a real property. Also incorrect. Essentially, you need to choose a coordinate system. The choice of coordinate system doesn't matter, as the laws of physics are invariant under change of basis. But you need to parameterise the space. >> >>15157855 >live and neutral are identical. ground and neutral* >> File: 1672387708198029.png (493 KB, 637x762) 493 KB PNG >>15157575 Thank you for telling me. This worked and I can now make red square. I am going to look for documentation to xcolor to see what other colors I can make my squares have. >> >>15157792 Thank you. As I also said in the other thread, I am still confused on ground in the pressure switch setup. It is my understanding that the ground wires are so that if there is a fault causing electricity to flow into the pressure switch's metal body, the ground wires will carry it into the ground so that if a person happens to be touching the switch's metal body, they don't get as much electriciy flowing through them. In which case why does it need one ground wire going to the panel and one to the pump when they're both just for safety at the switch? Or am I completely wrong about them being for safety right at the switch? And regarding hot vs neutral, both are carrying current in the same direction (from my panel to my switch) correct? I don't fully get what the difference is between "positive" and "negative" voltage. Even with magnetic polarity I don't really get it, is it just arbitrary what we have always defined as "positive" vs "negative"? >> >>15157855 > you arent gonna trip any breaker or blow a fuse if you run current to ground. Shorting neutral to ground won't blow a fuse (but will trip a RCD). Shorting live to ground will blow a fuse for the same reason shorting live to neutral will. > OP said it himself (in the other thread): > > Touching one of the leads to the input neutral and the other to ground or output also gave me 110V. That's not neutral. In the US, a 240V appliance has two live ("hot") wires (which are 180° out of phase) and no neutral. Neutral is (nominally) at ground potential, although it might differ by a volt or so due to the neutral current and Ohm's law. >> >>15157142 >That seems appropriate for someone with no previous exposure to the topic?

Whole reason I was trying to do this is because reality doesn't have coordinates. where would you even align them? a point has no concept of up or down >Incorrect. The motion is the same as one point orbiting the other. The distance doesn't change, the direction does. I don't really get this. like if I consider a scenario of only 2 particles in the entire universe orbiting each other, the only thing they observe about the other is mass (which results in an acceleration towards) and the distance to (which determines how strong the effect of the mass is). They don't have orientation themselves so they can't position the other particle relative to anything on themselves, and there is no external reference frame to say that an orbit is occurring. the particles view of the universe is that there is another mass pulling on it and despite that it doesn't not get any closer. this is enough info to say one or both of them is "moving" but no direction can be established. would you just have a directionless velocity or something instead? I don't really get it >> >>15157887 Neutral is called "neutral" for a reason. If you touch it and it hurts, it's live/hot, not neutral. That's still true if the other wire is also live/hot. >> >>15157894 > Whole reason I was trying to do this is because reality doesn't have coordinates. Reality doesn't need coordinates; a position ... "is what it is". If you want to model the system numerically, you're going to need coordinates. The choice of basis is completely arbitrary, but you do need to choose one. > They don't have orientation themselves Are you quite sure about that? If you draw a diagram where particles are modelled as spheres, then their orientation won't show up in the diagram.

My understanding of nuclear reactors is poor, but to my knowledge you can put fissile material in a situation where radiation is reflected back into the material. This promotes further fission, allowing you to "extract" more energy on demand. Is it theoretically possible to do this on a molecular level, say by pushing 2 atoms of uranium close together? Or perhaps a uranium atom against a tungsten atom or whatever serves as a reflector? The reason I ask is that this seems like the most plausible mechanism for bacteria to develop radiotrophy, in a way that doesn't just leech off nuclear waste but actively cleans it. >> >>15159781 > do this on a molecular level, say by pushing 2 atoms of uranium close together?

Yesterday a nice anon told me how to make colored boxes. I used bmatrix to put them all into a matrix shape. The end result looks like a matrix, except change digits to colored squares. This works nicely and looks good for small Maid Spaces. I was able to draw a 10 by 10 Maid Space with radix 10 and it looks nice because of the colored squares. However, when I try a bigger one like using a 25 by 25 matrix then compilation fails with errors from bmatrix being too big to typeset. 10 by 10 is fine, so my workaround is just use a smaller one. I think going from counting in a small Maid Space to suddenly showing normal sized PNG images of a Maid Space is too jarring and I want to be able to draw some with more cells. >question Is there a way to adjust the spacing between the squares in a bmatrix to be smaller?

It is in the bottom right corner. That has the radix. I also want to include the height and width in this notation preferably as a superscript number at the upper left and upper right corners of the bmatrix respectively. Also I want to know how to put a subscript number in the bottom left too. Probably that one will have the number of dimensions of the Maid Space. I want this because I realized I can draw a 3D Maid Space as a series of images on a 2d Maid Space. Maybe I also need some concept of a Maid Frame Counter or something. I don't know.

A particular matrix M is an n x m matrix. I'd like to estimate the function f, whose domain is R^m. I can assume that $f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} f_i(x_i)$ and that $f_i(0) = 0$ for any i. For each matrix M, I can direcrly observe the value $F(M) = \sum_{i} f(M_i)$ where M_i is the ith row of the matrix. Given an unseen matrix X along with $\sum_{i} f(X_i)$, I'd like to predict f(X_i) for each row of X. I first thought it was impossible, but I thought about this example - if I have two matrices A and B that are identical (or at least very similar) except at one element $A_{ij} \neq B_{ij}$, then $F(A) - F(B) = f_j(A_{ij}) - f_j(B_{ij})$. If $A_{ij}$ or $B_{ij}$ happen to be 0, then I know the value of $f_j$ at the nonzero one. Realistically, I doubt there are many instances of matrix pairs that are equal except for just one element, but there might be a good amount of pairs that are very similar. This makes me think there is some way to approximate f with some statistical model and smart math.

I really dislike methamphetamine but enjoy dextroamphetamine because it makes me get up and do stuff. Why is this? Just the difference between pharmaceuticals and street drugs? Or is it chemical structure? I have been diagnosed with Schizophrenia (Paranoid) as early as 18 years old. At times, occasional methamphetamine use made me super paranoid, recklessly impulsive, as well as have some delusions and confabulations. But I've been taking some doses of dextroamphetamine (25mg a day across 5-10 mg doses). It has given me a great sense of productivity and made me actually live my room, clean the kitchen and my room, as well as make me generally more active. I won't take it often because I know it's highly addictive, and it's expensive to get without a prescription, where psychiatrists won't usually give it to schizophrenics anyway. I guess the dosages would affect me differently, too, but I never took meth too frequently nor too much (although I usually smoked or drank it alcohol). >Dexies Pill form. I have experienced significant appetite suppression, increased concentration, some considerable irritation when reading something I disagree with, as well as more energy and less fatigue (I walked and brought 17 hardback books in two bags back to the library, which I might have found too tiring usually as someone with avolition). I had increased sexual pleasure but not really as much horniness. I did take it first with LSD so it might have been impacted by that, but it generally made me love music more, as well as feel energised. Sadly, it did cause me to go back into insomnia, though I was able to sleep 8+ hours recently once I came down. >Meth Horniness to the point of being uncomfortable, making up memories and weird shit, intrusive thoughts, general psychotic symptoms, some euphoria but also a lot of disinhibition, agitation. >> Good Morning /Sci/entists. >What I am doing I am working on the Maid Space book more.

Rule of thumb: Use polar coordinates for multiplicative problems. For additive problems, go with the a + bi form of complex numbers.

Define "hate" and define "math".. I've had a prof that went full symbolschizo which is acceptable with experience but not to beginners, and used ms paint to draw symbols rather than put in some effort into learning latex. And it was all done through zoom so good luck finding shit. Students didn't like it and I bet no mathematician would enjoy it either.

Convergent finite element discretizations of the nonstationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics system
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique, Volume 42 (2008) no. 6, p. 1065-1087

The incompressible MHD equations couple Navier-Stokes equations with Maxwell’s equations to describe the flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid in a Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^{3}$. We verify convergence of iterates of different coupling and decoupling fully discrete schemes towards weak solutions for vanishing discretization parameters. Optimal first order of convergence is shown in the presence of strong solutions for a splitting scheme which decouples the computation of velocity field, pressure, and magnetic fields at every iteration step.

#### Solutions

Chapter 2.1, Problem 21E
To determine

## To evaluate g(x)=1−x1+x at a number, we substitute the number for x in the definition of f(x) .

Expert Solution

The values of the given functionare:

g(2)=13,g(2)=3,g(12)=13,g(a)=1a1+a,g(a1)=2aa,g(1)=20(undefined)

### Explanation of Solution

Given information: consider the function g(x)=1x1+x

Calculation:

Evaluate the values of the function g(x)=1x1+x for the given values of the variable x

Plug the value x=2, in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(2).

g(2)=121+2g(2)=13

Plug the value x=2, in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(2).

g(2)=1(2)1+(2)g(2)=1+212g(2)=31

Plug the value x=12, in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(12).

g(12)=1(12)1+(12)g(12)=1232g(12)=13

Plug the value x=a in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(a).

g(a)=1a1+a

Plug the value x=a1, in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(a1).

g(a1)=1(a1)1+a1g(a1)=1a+11+a1g(a1)=2aa

Plug the value x=1, in the function g(x)=1x1+x then we get the value of g(1).

g(1)=1(1)1+(1)g(1)=1+111g(1)=20

Thus, the values of the given functionare:

g(2)=13,g(2)=3,g(12)=13,g(a)=1a1+a,g(a1)=2aa,g(1)=20(undefined)
