The standard proof, apparently due to Dedekind, that algebraic numbers form a field is quick and slick; it uses the fact that $[F(\alpha) : F]$ is finite iff $\alpha$ is algebraic, and entirely avoids the (to me, essential) issue that algebraic numbers are roots of some (minimal) polynomial. This seems to be because fi...

Table of Contents Fundamental Groups under Homeomorphisms on Topological Spaces We now look at a very important theorem regarding the fundamental groups of topological spaces.

Continued fractions provide a representation of numbers which is, in a sense, generic and canonical. It does not depend on an arbitrary choice of a base. Such a representation should be the best in a sense. In this section we quantify this naive idea. A rational number \(a/b\) is referred to as a "good" approximation t...

When you studied fractions, you had lots of different ways to think about them. But the first way, and the one we keep coming back to, is to think of a fraction as the answer to a division problem. Example \(\PageIndex{1}\): Suppose 6 pies are to be shared equally among 3 children. This yields 2 pies per child. We writ...
Is there a standard way of writing $a$ is divisible by $b$ in mathematical notation? From what I've search it seems that writing $a \equiv 0 \pmod b$ is one way? But also you can write $b \mid a$ as well (the middle character is a pipe)? And sometimes that pipe is replaced by $3$ vertical dots? Or is there a way of wri...

Let $X$ be a continuous random variable and $Q_x$ is the associated quantile function. Show that expected shortfall $ES_X[p]$ at the confidence level $p$ which is defined as $$ES_X[p]=\Bbb E[X|X\leq Q_x(1-p)]$$ has the representation $$ES_X[p]=\frac{1}{1-p}\int_0^{1-p} Q_x(a)da.$$ Can some one give me a hint for this? ...
584 0 Can someone please help me out with the following question? Q. A simple harmonic oscillator, of mass m and natural frequency w_0, experiences an oscillating driving force f(t) = macos(wt). Therefore its equation of motion is: [tex]\frac{{d^2 x}}{{dt^2 }} + \omega _0 ^2 x = a\cos \left( {\omega t} \right)[/tex] Gi...
Compactness of Finite Sets in a Topological Space Recall from the Compactness of Sets in a Topological Space page that if $X$ is a topological space then a set $A \subseteq X$ is said to be compact in $X$ if every open cover of $X$ has a finite subcover. We will now look at a nice theorem that says that any finite set ...

To begin, we need to find distances. Starting with the Pythagorean Theorem, which relates the sides of a right triangle, we can find the distance between two points. Definition: Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle will equal the square of the hy...
If your working modelling assumptions are such that the dynamics of the log price process $\ln(S_t)$ is space homogeneous, you have that the price of a European vanilla option is itself a space-homogeneous function of degree one. You can then appeal to Euler theorem to get the relationship you need. More specifically, ...
Path Connectivity of Connected Topological Spaces Recall from the Path Connected Topological Spaces page that a topological space $X$ is said to be path connected if for each pair of points $x, y \in X$ there exists a continuous function $\alpha : [0, 1] \to X$, call a path, such that $\alpha(0) = x$ and $\alpha(1) = y...
Before introducing the Dirac equation, it was difficult to explain the behaviour of the particles as the particles with higher velocities were not studied. But Dirac equation introduced four new components to the wave. These four components were divided into two energy states: positive and negative. Both energy states ...
Currently going through a video on Counting Minimum Cuts by Tim Roughgarden. $(A_{i},B_{i}) = \big((A_{1},B_{1}), ..., (A_{t},B_{t})\big) \forall i \in \Bbb{R}$ $P\big((A_{i},B_{i})\big) \geq \frac{1}{\begin{pmatrix} n \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}} = p$, which I interpret as the lower bound on the probability of having at least ...
This is something I haven't seen online yet, indicator functions with values in a finite field. Probably for a good reason, but I would like to know why, and if there are still things that can be said. For instance what can we say of the relationship (if any) between the support of the convolution of two indicator func...
