I'm taking a course on waves and optics using Young and Freedman's University Physics, but I'm a bit confused about a couple of things. I've also looked at Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics and Taylor's Classical Mechanics, and the three of them seem to say the following: Young and Freedman A wave is (roughly)...
Pullback attractors and statistical solutions for 2-D Navier-Stokes equations 1.

Coordinate systems are tools that let us use algebraic methods tounderstand geometry. While the rectangular(also called Cartesian) coordinates that wehave been using are the most common, some problems are easier toanalyze in alternate coordinate systems. A coordinate system is a scheme that allows us to identify any po...
Yes I think so. We may assume that $\mathcal F$ is the $\sigma$-algebra generated by sets of the form $X_n^{-1}(a,\infty)$ as $n$ runs over the positive integers and $a$ runs over the reals as $\mathcal F$ already contains these sets. In so doing, we might be making $\mathcal F$ smaller, but that only makes the problem...

Let $\omega$ be a third root of unity, then $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ is a PID. We have $m^3 = n^2 + n + 1 = (n-\omega)(n-\omega^2)$. $\gcd(n-\omega,n-\omega^2) = \gcd(n-\omega,\omega-\omega^2) \mid (1-\omega)$, and $(1-\omega)$ is the ramified prime lying over $3$ in $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$, so from unique factorization of $m...
Imagine two rolls with the same diameter and mass. The mass of one roll is concentrated to the center of the roll while the mass of the other roll is concentrated to the edge of the roll. If the two are released from the same slope and the same height continuing to a flat platform, the roll whose mass is concentrated t...
It’s always nice, intellectually, when two apparently unrelated areas collide. I had an experience of this sort recently with an area of mathematics — one very familiar to me — and an ostensibly completely distinct area of science. On the one hand, contact geometry — a field of pure mathematics, pure geometry. And on t...

@DavidReed the notion of a "general polynomial" is a bit strange.

Activity is a measure of the effective concentration of a species under non-ideal (e.g., concentrated) conditions. This determines the real chemical potential for a real solution rather than an ideal one. Introduction Activities and concentrations can both be used to calculate equilibrium constants and reaction rates. ...
I'm going through the phase estimation algorithm, and wanted to sanity-check my calculations by making sure the state I'd calculated was still normalized.

The omega one of chess Infinite chess is chess played on an infinite edgeless chessboard.

In the past, I have argued it is so unlikely my vote will matter that voting is not worthwhile, even if I altruistically account for the vast number of people whom elections affect.

Say I want to apply a zero-phase Butterworth bandpass filter, implemented in MATLAB using butter and filtfilt.

Can I be a pedant and say that if the question states that $\langle \alpha \vert A \vert \alpha \rangle = 0$ for every vector $\lvert \alpha \rangle$, that means that $A$ is everywhere defined, so there are no domain issues?

Another way to look at this involves frequency domain aliasing due to time-domain sampling of a non-bandlimited function.

First of all, what's the motivation for the Yang-Mills action and how should I understand the coupling constants $\theta$ and $g$? I would say motivation comes from experiments.

This is an interesting and not so easy question. Here's my 2 cents:First, you should distinguish between mathematical models for the dynamics of an underlying asset (Black-Scholes, Merton, Heston etc.) and numerical methods designed to calculate financial instruments' prices under given modelling assumptions (lattices,...
The big issue, I think, is that you need a model of the data to work with. These could be regression models or simply your data fit to a distribution. Your data could theoretically be consistent with a number of models / distributions (such as the normal distribution, proportions of successes arising from a binomial di...

There is a following theorem: $H$ is a commutative Hopf algebra over a field $k$. Then there exists a bijective correspondence between $$\{ \textrm{Hopf subalgebras }K\subset H \} \quad \leftrightarrow\quad\{\textrm{ normal Hopf ideals } I\subset H\}$$ Where Hopf subalgebra is a subalgebra $K$ satisfying $\Delta K\subs...
Let C be an $(\infty,1)$-category, incarnated as a complete Segal space, hence in particular a bisimplicial set. Is there a model structure on the slice category of bisimplicial sets over C which presents the $(\infty,1)$-presheaf category of C? Ideally, such a model structure would be Quillen equivalent to the contrav...
Surjection if Composite is Surjection Theorem Then $g$ is a surjection. Proof Let $g \circ f$ be surjective. Fix $z \in S_3$. Now find an $x \in S_1: \map {g \circ f} x = z$. The surjectivity of $g \circ f$ guarantees this can be done. Now find an $y \in S_2: f \paren x = y$. It follows that: \(\displaystyle \map g y\)...
Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be positive numbers. Prove that: $$\frac{a^4}{b}+\frac{b^4}{c}+\frac{c^4}{a}\geq a^3+b^3+c^3+25(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)$$ I tried the uvw's technique and BW and more but without some success. For example, BW does not help here: Let $a=\min\{a,b,c\}$, $b=a+u$ and $c=a+v$. Hence, $$abc\left(\sum\limits_{cyc}\...
Given an internal symmetry group, we gauge it by promoting the exterior derivative to its covariant version: $$ D = d+A, $$ where $A=A^a T_a$ is a Lie algebra valued one-form known as the connection (or gauge field) and $T$ the algebra generators. For GR, we would like to do the same thing with the Poincaré group. But ...
OK, let's actually take this seriously. As others have said, this is the so-called St Petersburg paradox, and the reason it isn't really much of a paradox is that (1) an extra dollar matters much less when you already have a lot of money and (2) our counterparty may not actually pay up. So let's model that. The simples...
Intro Hey there reader! It has been quite a while since I wrote a blog post.. but I have had a ton of things on my mind I wanted to write about! I am stoked to be able to write about some of them now! Since leaving my job in defense to go to graduate school — yes, I am obviously into being a poor student — I have been ...
Hi, Can someone provide me some self reading material for Condensed matter theory? I've done QFT previously for which I could happily read Peskin supplemented with David Tong. Can you please suggest some references along those lines? Thanks @skullpatrol The second one was in my MSc and covered considerably less than my...
First off, great question. Ok I have crunched the numbers. I made a 5 degree of freedom model of the rolling disk/wheel which includes, 2 variables $x$, $y$ for the location on the incline plane (with positive $x$ downwards and $y$ across the plane), $\psi$ for the orientation of the wheel ($\psi=0$ when wheel is facin...
We now come to the first of three important theorems that extend theFundamental Theorem of Calculus to higher dimensions. (The FundamentalTheorem of Line Integrals has already done this in one way, but inthat case we were still dealing with an essentially one-dimensionalintegral.) They all share with the Fundamental Th...
