This year’s Abel Prize has just been awarded to Michael Talagrand. I didn’t knew about his work, but it seems really interesting and he made an effort to make it really accessible both to read and access.
In trying to figure out the answer to my homework problem, I came across this volume, which I thought the community might find interesting and/or helpful.
I’ve been knocking out the trig problems in this section with minimal difficulty so far, but I’ve run straight into a brick wall on this “Algebraic” part. I’m asked to find sin(x)=0 between [0,2π). If I graphed the unit circle this would be a trivial exercise to show sin(θ)=0 when θ=0 or π....
It’s homework help, but I’m not asking for the solution. The problem only asks for cos, sin, tan, cot, csc given sec. I found those pretty quickly on my own, and confirmed solutions with the back of the book....
I feel like this has to be a math/logic thing that has a name already and I wanna know what it’s called so I can look it up when I’m no longer extremely drunk....
So I’m gearing up to take a calculus 1 exam, and this question is on the sample test. My initial thought was that since we are looking for F(9), and F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), I can just use the integral of the equation of f(x) at 9, which is f(x) = -2x/3 + 5, which, when integrated, becomes -x^2/3 + 5x + 2 (C = 2...
BOINC is a free tool you can download to participate in several different math research projects. It runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and even Android. Each project gives you fun stats and graphs about your participation, many of them will even credit you individually for your discoveries (such as finding a new prime) on their...
ChatGPT will gobble up every symbolic manipulation task I give to it. At worst, sometimes I have to check its output and point out anything weird, then it'll correct it....
It’s the first and best piece of math fiction I’ve read, it’s inspiring and such an amazing commentary on society during the Victorian Era. What are your thoughts? Any similar readings?
