I suspect there is confusion about understanding the problem. The problem is really asking you whether you are allowed to conclude that $(a_n)$ is Cauchy if all you know is the inequality as stated. Thus, in order to solve (a) you must find a particular concrete sequence which satisfies the condition but is not Cauchy....
For predicted labels $\hat{y}$ and true labels $y\in\{0,1\}$, the confusion matrix is given by \begin{array}{c|c:c|c} & y=0 & y=1 & \\\hline\hat{y}=0 & \mathrm{TN} & \mathrm{FN} & \hat{\mathrm{N}} \\\hdashline\hat{y}=1 & \mathrm{FP} & \mathrm{TP} & \hat{\mathrm{P}} \\\hline& \mathrm{N} & \mathrm{P} & (n_{\mathrm{obs}})...
Above, we defined velocity as the derivative of position and acceleration as the derivative of velocity. Integration allows us to go the other way! As you learned in first semester calculus, integration allows us to generate an object's velocity as a function of time given its acceleration and an initial velocity. We c...
I am trying to understand the energy spectrum difference between the analytical and the approximated solution for a quantum well. The particle is inside a box with domain $\Omega=(0,0)$X$(1,1)$.

The answer is quite simple. The correlation matrix is defined thus: Let $X = [x_1, x_2, ..., x_n]$ be the $m\times n$ data matrix: $m$ observations, $n$ variables.

On p. 76 of the 1996 edition of Serre's A Course in Arithmetic, one reads the following (inline) remark: One can prove that, if $A$ has natural density $k$, the analytic density of $A$ exists and is equal to $k$. Here, $A$ is a subset of $\bf P$ (the set of all positive rational primes), and the natural density of $A$ ...
Consider a Lagrangian theory of fields $\phi^a(x)$. Sometime such a theory posseses a symmetry (let's talk about internal symmetries for simplicity), which means that the Lagrangian is invariant under replacement $\phi^a\to \phi'^a=\phi'^a(\phi,\epsilon)$. Here $\epsilon$ are some continuous transformation parameters. ...
Ready to get your head cracked? Ok, let’s define a simple function that multiplies each number of a list of numbers by 2. We will give this function the name of “by2”. So, you have a function that takes a list of numbers as a parameter, and after the computation process shows a list of numbers. How do you write this in...
This is a long comment, not an answer. Let $E_k$ be the total space of the orientable bundle over $S^2$ with fiber $\mathbb R^2$ and Euler class $k$. $E_k = \mathbb R^2 \rtimes_k S^2$. Let $\pi : E_k \to S^2$ be the bundle projection. $C_2 E_k = \{ (x,y) \in E_k^2 : x \neq y\}$ is the configuration space, with $p : C_2...

This is just a curiosity. I have come across multiple proofs of the fact that there are infinitely many primes, some of them were quite trivial, but some others were really, really fancy.

There is no acceptable/viable mechanism for a free electron to absorb or emit energy, without violating energy or momentum conservation. So its wavefunction cannot collapse into becoming a particle, right? How do 2 free electrons repel each other then? It is true that the reactions $$e + \gamma \to e, \quad e \to e + \...
So I'm already aware of the quantum mechanical operator for momentum and how to derive the kinetic energy operator from this: $$\hat T=\frac{\hat p^2}{2m}=\frac{-\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}$$ But I'm wondering how to derive the kinetic energy operator solely from the statistical definition of an expecta...
If we want to describe a static spherically symmetric star we can use a metric which matches the Schwarzschild solution with correct mass on the outside of the star but differs from Schwartzschild in the inside of the matter distribution.

Three standard deviations mean that the null hypothesis doesn't seem "great". The deviation from the predictions isn't enough for a discovery in a hard scientific discipline such as particle physics.

So we try by applying the definition and see how it goes. So we deal with 2 cases, either $\sup S=\infty$ or $\sup S=M<\infty$. If it is the second case, this means that for all $x\in S$, $x\leq M$, so naturally $ax\leq aM$. By definition of the least upper bound, we have $\sup aS\leq aM=a\sup S$. For the reverse, let ...
Does math require an $\infty$? This assumes that all of math is somehow governed by a single set of universally agreed upon rules, such as whether infinity is a necessary concept or not. This is not the case. I might claim that math does not require anything, even though a mathematician requires many things (such as co...
I was told some days ago that the possibility of two randomly picked numbers are relatively prime to each other is $6/(\pi^2)$. And it is well known that the value of Riemann zeta function at 2 is $(\pi^2)/6$. So I guess there is a correspondence between them. Maybe the possibility of $n$ randomly picked numbers are re...

You may indeed identify the generators in the way you did.

This notebook shows how to calculate and plot two-dimensional attractors of a variety of types, using code and par...
Suppose $A$ is a Borel measurable subset of [0,1], $m$ is Lebesgue measure, and $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$. Prove that there exists a continuous function $f: [0,1]\to \mathbb{R}$ such that $0\le f\le 1$ and $$ m(\{x:f(x)\ne\chi_A(x)\})<\varepsilon. $$ Here $\chi_A(x)$ is the indicator function on $A$. If $A$ is Borel measu...
I am assuming a very simple case, where there is only a mass $m$ with position $x$ under an external force $F$. we know that the Lagrangian takes the form $L = (1/2) m \dot{x}^2$ from which equations of motion follow as $$\frac{d}{d t} \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{x}}= m \ddot{x} = F\tag{1}$$ respectively. Now, cons...
I'll begin with a general remark: first-order information (i.e., using only gradients, which encode slope) can only give you directional information: It can tell you that the function value decreases in the search direction, but not for how long. To decide how far to go along the search direction, you need extra inform...
It's well-known that $\sin(\pi \frac pq)$ is always algebraic. In particular, as I understand, it can always be expressed in terms of radicals, because it can be connected to the abelian group of $e^{i\pi \frac pq}$. Because these can always be expressed in terms of radicals -- this means there must be some other algeb...
This question already has an answer here: Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer, and $k$ a positive integer. Could someone explain to me why the identity $$ \sum_{i=0}^n\binom{i+k-1}{k-1}=\binom{n+k}{k} $$ holds?

Derivatives of PGF of Bernoulli Distribution Theorem $\dfrac {\mathrm d^k} {\mathrm d s^k} \Pi_X \left({s}\right) = \begin{cases} p & : k = 1 \\ 0 & : k > 1 \end{cases}$ $\Pi_X \left({s}\right) = q + ps$ where $q = 1 - p$. We have that for a given Bernoulli distribution, $p$ and $q$ are constant. $\dfrac {\mathrm d} {\...
I only have a partial answer for 1. and a hopefully non-confusing answer to 2. To start with, let us work with the fundamental groupoid, which is more, ahem, fundamental and better suited to generalisation. In particular, we can consider the set $\pi^J(X,a,b)$ of homotopy classes (rel endpoints) of maps $(J,0,1) \to (X...
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and denote $C^\infty_0(M)$ the space of smooth functions with compact support. In Mathematics a distribution is defined to be a continuous linear functional $\phi : C^\infty_0(M)\to \mathbb{R}$. The space of distributions is usually denoted $\mathfrak{D}'(M)$. So a distribution is a map tha...
1. Rational Functions (Definition) Definition: Rational Function A rational function is a quotient of polynomials \(\dfrac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\). Example 1 \[\dfrac{(x^2 + x - 1)}{(3x^3+ 1)},\] \[\dfrac{(x - 1)}{(x^2 +1)}, \text{ and}\] \[\dfrac{x^2}{(x + 1)}\] are all Rational Functions Example 2 Find the domain of \[\dfrac{(...
