The Fundamental Group of the Real Projective Plane The goal of today's post is to prove that the fundamental group of the real projective plane, $\pi_1(\mathbb{R}P^2)$, is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. And unlike our proof that $\pi_1(S^1)\cong\mathbb{Z}$, today's proof is fairly short, thanks to the van Kamp...

As a toy problem, I was looking at a classical second order system of the following form: \begin{align} \ddot{x}(t) + c \dot{x}(t) + k x(t) = 0 \end{align} Instead of the basic system above, I want to replace $x(t)$ with a Low-Pass filtered version of $x(t)$. This can change the equation to the following form: \begin{a...
A Rational Game This post is to set forth a little game that attempts to demonstrate something that I find to be intriguing about the real numbers. The game is one that takes place in a theoretical sense only. It starts by assuming we have two pieces of paper. On each is a line segment of length two: [0,2]. Each piece ...
@Josh: I don't have any precise reference in mind for that, maybe in the Coddington-Levinson? but as far as I remember it is mostly for linear ODE's Note first that reversing time $t\to -t$ is equivalent to changing $\sigma\to-\sigma$, so you only need to study one side (say $t\to+\infty$). The case $\sigma=0$ is a bor...
Here's a typical op-amp inverting amplifier: The input impedance is simply \$R_{in}\$, so for your requirements, \$R_{in} = 10k\Omega\$. \$R_f\$ is then whatever it needs to be to realize the desired gain. You want a gain of -10, so: $$ -\frac{R_f}{10k\Omega} = -10 \\R_f = 10 \cdot 10k\Omega = 100k\Omega $$ Why does th...
You're quite right that the other fundamental forces of Nature possess mediator particles, e.g. the photon for the electromagnetic force. For gravity, a graviton particle has been postulated, and is included in the five standard string theories which are candidates for quantum gravity. From a quantum field theory persp...
I am writing my undergrad thesis on the harmonic oscillator on a lattice. So far I have implemented the Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm to generate trajectories $x_j$ for $0 \leq j < N$, where $N$ is the number of time lattice divisions. I get a pretty good histogram for $|\psi(x)|^2$ and it matches the expectation fr...
Consider 2 mathematical problems: $$ f_1(x) = a - x \\ f_2(x) = e^x -1 $$ The condition number for a function is defined as follows: $$ k(f) = \left| x \cdot \frac{f'}{f} \right| $$ Lets analyze conditioning first: $$ k(f_1) = \frac{x}{x - a}, $$ which means that $f_1$ is ill-conditioned near $x = a$; $$ k(f_2) = \frac...

$\pi R^2 \Delta p$ (1) and the surface tension is: $2\pi R \gamma$ (2) and a sphere has two surfaces so, roughly: $\Delta p = \frac{4 \gamma}{R}$ but if we take the limit: $\lim_{R \to 0} \frac{4 \gamma}{R}$, then obviously the pressure difference between the outside and inside surface of the bubble is $\infty$! How do...
This is not really an independent answer; just an explanation of why the answer given by Levieux is optimal.

Open Sets Are Everything In today's post I want to emphasize a simple - but important - idea in topology which I think is helpful for anyone new to the subject, and that is: Open sets are everything!

Now we are going to build a polynomial of degree $$n$$ that only goes through one given point $$x_0$$, and its $$n$$ derivatives coincide in this point with the $$n$$ derivatives of the original function $$f(x)$$.

Simplifying polynomials “Polynomials” are expressions with two or more (poly) types of numbers (nomials). An example of a polynomial expression would be: $(6x^2+5x+3)+(x^2+3x-2)$ To simplify this expression, we need to first consider PEMDAS. Within each set of parentheses, nothing can be reduced or combined. Also, no e...
Let $C$ be a $[n,k]$ linear Code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ . I want to show that each vector of $\mathbb{F}_q^{n-k} $ is written as a linear combination of $m$ columns of $H$ iff $\rho \leq m$. I have thought the following: $$ d(C)=\min \{ d \in \mathbb{N} | \text{ there are d linearly dependent columns of H}\} $$ So $H$ has...

Let $m,n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and let $x \in \mathbb{R}$. Let $[x]$ denote the floor function. We will attempt to prove $$\Big[\frac{x+n}{m}\Big] = \bigg[\frac{[x]+n}{m}\bigg]$$ Suppose without loss of generality that $m > 0$.

I'm a high school student, so I have no idea what a Jacobian or a manifold is, but as someone who's self-studied linear algebra and abstract algebra, I think it's pretty complex and takes a rather smart/dedicated person to pass these classes, so you're definitely smart enough to understand these concepts. In my opinion...

In this question it is shown that being able to compute reciprocals (together with sums and differences) is enough to do do multiplication in a field of characteristic $\ne 2$.

Suppose $f$ is continuous on $[a, b]$, if for every continuous function $g$ on $[a, b]$ with $g(a) = g(b) = 0, \int_{a}^{b}f(x)g(x) dx = 0$, Show $f(x) = 0, \forall x \in [a, b]$, I want to prove by contradiction, and then find a continuous $g$ such that $g(a) = g(b) = 0$ but $\int_{a}^{b}f(x)g(x) dx \neq 0$ Proof: Sup...
Given a finite group $G$, and a non-identity representative $g$ in a conjugacy class of prime order $p$, I'm trying to show that some nontrivial irreducible character of $G$ must have $\chi(g) \neq 0$ and $\chi(1) \neq 0 \text{ mod } p$.

In the previous STT5100 course, last week, we’ve seen how to use monte carlo simulations.

One of the older packages is feynmf which uses MetaPost in order to generate the diagrams. More recently, a new package called Ti kZ-Fey...
ProblemFind the Fourier transformation of $u(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}$ I want $\int_\mathbb R e^{-itx} \frac{1}{1+x^2} dx$. Let $f(z) = e^{-itz} \frac{1}{1+z^2}$, $z \in \mathbb C$, let's integrate this over the semi-circunference of radius $R$ and the line $[-R, R]$. First, the integral on the circumference vanishes (with...
Let $G_1$, $G_2$ be arbitrary groups, and $H$ be any group with homomorphisms $\theta_1:G_1\rightarrow H$, $\theta_2:G_1\rightarrow H$. Show that there exist a group $G$ and homomorphisms $\beta_1:G_1\rightarrow G$, $\beta_2:G_2\rightarrow G$, and a unique homomorphism $\theta:G\rightarrow H$ such that $\beta_1\theta =...
Let us consider monic polynomials of $n^{\text{th}}$ degree $p(t) = t^n + a_{n-1} t^{n-1} + \dots + a_1 t + a_0$ with real coefficients. We know the roots are continuous functions of the coefficients. Let us define a map $F: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R_+^n$ by \begin{align*} F: (a_{n-1}, \dots, a_0) \mapsto (r_1, \dots, ...
Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots$ be an infinite set of non-negative samples taken from a distribution $P_0(a)$, and write $$\tag{1} \label{problem} S = 1 + a_1 + a_1 a_2 + a_1 a_2 a_3 + \ldots. $$ Notice that if the $a_i$ were all the same, $S$ would be a regular geometric series, with value $S = \frac{1}{1-a}$. How will the int...
DOI:10.1128/AEM.01277-08 ABSTRACT Network models offer computationally efficient tools for estimating the variability of single-cell lag phases. Currently, optical methods for estimating the variability of single-cell lag phases use single-cell inocula and are technically challenging. A Bayesian network model incorpora...
Let us define a predicate $$T(i,k_1,...,k_n)\in\{True, False\}$$Where $T(i,k_1,...,k_n)$ means "using the $i$ first values of $S$, we can find $n$ disjoint subsets with sums $k_1, ... k_n$". The answer you are looking for is $T(|S|,K,..,K)$ where $K$ appears $n$ times. We have the following recurrence formula : $$T(i,k...
The Wiener–Khinchin-Einstein theorem states that the auto-correlation $(r_{xx}(\tau))$ and spectral density $(S(f))$ are Fourier duals, i.e. $$r_{xx}(\tau) = \int^{+\infty}_{-\infty} S(f) \exp\left( 2\pi i \tau f \right)\:df$$ This relationship has several assumptions: -The process must be stationary, i.e the spatial c...
Let $(X,d)$ a metric space, $\alpha >0$ (fixed ) and $T: X \rightarrow X$ a map such that exist $n \in N$, where : $$ d(T^n x , T^n y) \leq \alpha^n d(x,y), \forall x,y \in X$$ Define $h(x,y) = [d^2 (x,y) + \frac{1}{\alpha^2} d(Tx,ty)+...+ \frac{1}{\alpha^{2(n-1)}} d(T^{n-1}x,T^{n-1}y)]^{1/2}$. I want to prove that $h ...
