Tl;Dr do any of you guys know of any existing research concerning the measuring/imaging/mapping the electromagnetic field of living creatures?
I know this already sounds like some /x/ tier bullshit, but I'm just interested in the actual science of the matter.
Like, if I grab my radio antenna, in some physical arrangements I weaken the signal, and in other arrangements it seems to be the opposite.
I'm interested in studying this interaction to better understand theremins, and related technology.
I can't be the first person to consider this, but I'm not sure what keywords to search.

I'm not really sure what I'm after. I have a hard time focusing when I do coke, it just gets me super extraverted or something, it's not something I take to do 'deep work'. I've tried but it's not that kind of drug from what I've observed. But I've only done it a handful of times, usually drinking too. I'm just frequently fatigued but also wanting to do more intellectual stuff like learning piano and reviewing real analysis, or hobby programming. Lately I've just had a lot of fatigue and brain fog, and yeah I'm lifting/exercising, sleeping and eating well too.

If I flip the coin N times and repeat the experiment 10000 times, then the resulting binomial distribution will look exactly like the normal distribution. Is it the consequence of CTL? But CTL is about sampling an existing distribution and calculating the means and we are not sampling anything, just tossing the coin.

There is no "fast" way. It requires a bunch of prerequisite knowledge, mainly: functionals, the calculus of variations, Lagrangian mechanics, and optionally Lie algebras. Each of those you can't really learn in isolation and require various other topics in math and physics you would have to study first.

OK but isn't it about the means of those variables being normally distributed? But when we are flipping the coin, we are not averaging anything, we are just counting the number of, say, tails, and still get the normal distribution.

Any hope, any hope for a life after death at all, in any way or form, scientifically speaking? Been going through some tough times in life recently, where myself and those around me could be in danger of dying, and the anxiety and sadness has been eating me alive from the inside.

Scientifically speaking, absolutely no hope at all. The logical reductionist explanation is that everything is physics, all that can ever be is the interaction of particles. So, as such an afterlife is not possible. No law of reality allows for one. A belief in anything else is simply wishing thinking by the meat sacks we call our human mind and body.

>A ladder of mass m = 8kg and length l = 10m is leaning against a wall at the heigth of h = 8m from the ground. Find the ground and wall reaction forces.

Now, it is obvious that Fgy = mg = 78.48N. I know two ways to solve the rest but I get different results:

>the torque method
We'll take the point where the ladder touches the ground as the point of rotation.
Tw = Tm (torque caused by the wall is equal to the torque caused by the mass (weight))
Tw = Fw x h = Fw x 8m
Tm = 3m x mg = 3m x 78.48N = 235.44Nm (3 because we have a 3-4-5 triangle but scaled by 2, so the center of the weight of the ladder pulls toward the half of the leg of length 6)
Solving all of this we get that Tw = Fgx = 235.44Nm / 8m = 29.43N.

>the sine theorem method
We know that sin a = h/l = 0.8, so a = 53.13°. b = 90° - a = 36.87°. Now, we can construct a similar triangle with angles a and b but with legs of Fgx (opposite of b) and Fgy (opposite of a). Hypotenuse would be Fg then. Using sine theorem, we have that:
Fgx / sin b = Fgy / sin a = Fg.
Now, simply solving for Fgx, we get that Fgx = Fgy (sin b / sin a) = 78.48N x 0.75 = 58.86N.

So you see that using these two methods we get two different answers that are different by exactly the factor of 2. Where am I going wrong here and which is the correct answer?

If the mean number of tails (approximately) follows a normal distribution then so does the total number of tails, as the total number of tails is just 10,000 × the mean. A constant multiple of a normally distributed variable also follows a normal distribution.

Death is not the end for you. You got born once, you will be born again. If you have no consciousness after death, then time will be instantaneous. It doesn't matter if 1 day passes or 10 quintillion years, you wouldn't perceive any of it. And then just like you popped into existence this time, you will do so again. The action of being born is clearly possible because it happened once so it will happen again given enough time. I don't personally believe that consciousness simply disappears on death, but rather expands. Brains are more of a filter/computational device and not the source of consciousness. Drugs that induce incredibly rich vivid states of mind usually decrease brain activity and metabolism while drugs that increase it result in states or blankness. Best of luck with your anxiety.

Evaporation is a surprisingly complicated process. There are a lot of factor involved, for example: humidity, air flow, (vapour) pressure, and surface area.

> How can this happen if I'm not boiling it?
However to answer simply, temperature is the average kinetic energy of all the water molecules. In reality the thermodynamics of the system is a distribution, some molecules at the surface are moving faster than others and have enough energy to escape into the air.

Suppose we have a container with a gas under pressure p. It exerts a normal force F on the surfaces of the container such that F=p*S.
1) is there a specific term in english for that force F? I'm a bit confused because I've seen the word "pressure" used both for p and F, while in my language there is a clear distinction between those two and they have different names.
2) suppose the thermodynamic equilibrium of the system is disturbed. As I understand it, in such a case pressure p can't be defined until it reaches some state of equilibrium again. Is the normal force F acting on the surfaces of the container defined, even though pressure p is undefined?

I disagree. There is an order on this prerequisite knowledge and it's not as dense as you are portraying it. Functionals is not a topic on its own, it's just a definition. Calculus of variations can be studied in isolation very well, and will inevitably include Euler-Lagrange equations. This is enough of a basis to learn Noether's theorem.
Lie algebras can be studied on their own as well, though they are usually covered in the context of representation theory. You usually do that much later though and then revisit Lagrangian mechanics from a more abstract point of view.

Is my intuition wrong? If a 100kg object falls from a height of 1 meter, I reckon much more force is generated than simply 2*(the 100kg object falling from 0.5m).

Concretely, I am interested if the object does more damage to some impacted surface if it's being dropped from that height of 1m, than being dropped twice from half the height.


I ask because I want to guesstimate the damage my body's joints would incur if I fall (jump) from twice a height onto some hard surface. I am trying to justify my logic that it DOES make a difference if I include an inbetween step.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_number?useskin=vector#Polar_form
>>16240520
Yes, I can think of several effects that cause a single fall from twice the height to be more damaging than 2 falls.
First, the kinetic energy of the body at impact is [math]E = mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 [/math] (neglecting air friction). This scales linearly with starting height. During the impact this is converted into a force [math]F = E/\Delta t [/math] where [math]\Delta t [/math] is the duration of the impact. This duration scales inversely with the fall velocity, so overall the impact force will scale as [math]F \propto h^{3/2} [/math].
Second, irrespective of the magnitude of the force, materials are more brittle at shorter timescales, because the molecules have less time to rearrange themselves.
Third, materials generally have a nonlinear stress response (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress%E2%80%93strain_curve?useskin=vector): there is a certain point at which they go from deformation to catastrophic failure.
Finally, damage is not cumulative between falls: the body is elastic and between weak impacts it can relax into a strain-free configuration again.

Do changes in atmospheric pressure have any effects on plants?
I'm not talking about precipitation and temperature changes - they obviously have influence and are more or less caused by changes in pressure - but strictly about direct effects of pressure changes. From what I understand they may have influence on humans (I may be wrong, but aren't migraines caused by them?), but what about plants?

This is the trajectory of a bouncing ball. The bounces are a "perfect" shape in the sense that the peak of each one is exactly half-way between the bounce points, right? So like, the peak of h1 is exactly half the distance between t0 and t1.

What I want to know about is a situation where there's some sort of bouncing mechanism on the surface, like a trampoline, such that each bounce is exactly the same height.

In that case, the peak of each bounce would NOT be half the distance between the bounce points, but closer to the first point than the second one, right? Is there a formula for this or anything? Basically I need to know the "perfect shape" of a "perfect bounce" (i.e. one that doesn't diminish in height on each consecutive bounce).

I don't know shit about science so I hope this didn't come out TOO retarded

in the real world, on macroscopic scales, balls cant bounce at the same height because the ball loses energy to non-conservative forces on each bounce, e.g. friction. a trampoline will not fix this. if you just want to know the shape of the bounce, its the same shape regardless other whether or not it bounces as high: a parabola.

Yes I know that, I should have I meant more like a trampoline with a human jumping on it, such they consciously make the bounce a stronger than a "natural" bounce so they can get the same height each time

Would that really be the same shape? I would have thought if the bounces are the same height each time then the force going upward would have to be a bit stronger

Fire requires three things: oxygen, heat, and fuel. So water does two things to put out a fire, it reduces the amount of oxygen the fuel can burn and it's main role is to reduces the amount of heat. So yes, hotter water would impair that last effect but I doubt to a noticeable amount. The fire would be many hundreds of degrees C, maybe even more than a thousand, so a few tens of C difference between luke-warm water and boiling isn't going to be much of a factor overall.

this would break division and the distributive property

-1 * (2 + -1) = -1 * 1 = -1, but -1 * 2 + -1 * -1 = -2 + -1 = -3, distributive property fails
negative times negative giving positive follows logically out of the distributive property and the addition rules for negative numbers

a) obviously yes. considering the definition of a PDF, that graph basically *is* one. pointing out that it doesnt sum to 1 is a bit nit-picky i think.
b) obviously no, considering the definition of a CDF (or simply the intuition the CDFs cant go down).
c) no, exponential distributions dont look like that.
d) this one is tricky. binomial distributions can definitely have that shape, but the problem is that some of the values of X are negative, and if you use the regular definition of a binomial distribution, you cant have negative values. you could always just do a change of variables to slide the whole thing over, but negative values in binomial distributions in the real world dont make a lot of sense (binomial distributions are usually used to calculate the expected number of successes given n trials, and you cant have a negative number of successes). im leaning towards no, but you could argue either way.
e) yep, right shape.

The radius of convergence can be found by using the ratio test on the series coefficients. An alternative way that might be more intuitive is to consider it as a complex function: the radius of convergence at a point in the complex plane is equal to the distance to the closest singularity. e^z has no singularities so it converges everywhere.

Not an expert but I think it can be either, it describes the time-dependent spin dynamics in the continuous limit (magnetization and H-field as continuous fields) as opposed to the lattice-based Ising model and Heisenberg model. This can include an external field but doesn't have to, and includes solutions with domain walls including moving domain walls, but doesn't have to. It would be quite pointless to use it to
>how in paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials the spins align with the external field
unless you cared how the spins respond in time to the field being turned on. Fundamentally it's just an equation of motion for magnetization with a Larmor precession term and a damping term, like the Bloch equations for nuclear magnetization.

cat + dog = the maximum number of pupils that could own a pet if they had only one each.

but the first number calculated is the actual number of pupils with a pet, and it is less than that value. so there was be an overlap (venn diagram) where one of more pupils has both.

subtracting the two totals then tells you how many pupils have both.

okay so the question is how many dog owners have cats, out of all dog owners
so that's (dog owners with cats) / ( (dog owners with cats) + (dog owners without cats) )
we know that 125 = 23 non pet owners + X pet owners
so X is 102 pet owners and we can ignore the 125 and the 23 non-pet-owners

we know that (dog owners without cats) + (dog owners with cats) = 68
and (cat owners without dogs) + (cat owners with dogs) = 61

let's say dogs-only is A, dogs and cats is B for BOTH, and cats-only is C for CATS
A+B=68 students with dogs or both
B+C=61 students with both or cats
A+B+C=102 students with dogs or both or cats

102 - (A+B) = C
102 - 68 = C = 34
C = 34

102 - (B+C) = A
102 - 61 = A = 41
A = 41

A+B+C=102
41+B+34=102
B=27 where B means BOTH

so given that a pupil has a dog (sample size 68) what percent has a cat (so both a dog and a cat)
B=27
so out of 68 dog owners 27 own both a dog and a cat so the answer is 27/68

125 people total

Therefore 125-23=102 people have a cat or a dog or both
Of those 102 people, 61 have a cat, so 102-61=41 do not have a cat.
Therefore, 41 have a dog and no cat.
68 have a dog, so 68-41=27 have a dog and a cat.

This works only in base 10, not all bases, I believe. 360*N is necessarily an integer divisible by 9 because 360 is divisible by 9. Any integer divisible by 9 has digits that sum to something divisible by 9; this is a property of 9 being the highest single-digit integer in base 10.
So you could simply say 9*N instead of 360*N.
>360/N
But it doesn't hold true. N=9, for example. 360/9=40. 4+0=4. 4 is not divisible by 9.

As for a proof that the digits of 9N will always sum to something divisible by 9? Not sure, but it does hold true.
Also, the digits of 3N will always sum to something divisible by 3.

360*2^N: 2^N is an integer and 360 is 9*40 and 9 times any integer will have the property you describe
360/2^N: I believe this, again, applies to 9 or any multiple of 9, not just 360.
Another way of looking at 9/2^N is taking 9 then dividing it by 2, N times. I.e. 9/2^4 is 9/2/2/2/2. Another way to write this is 9*.5*.5*.5*.5. Furthermore, we could write it as 9*5*.1*5*.1*5*.1*5*.1. Or, 9*5^4*.1^4. Or in the more general sense (not using the N=4 example), 9/2^N=9*5^N*.1^N. We already know that 9*5^N will have digits that sum to a multiple of 9, since 9 times any integer will have digits summing to 9. And then the .1^N factor is trivial since it will just be of the form .000...0001. And multiplying something like that won't change any of the digits, it will only change the position of the decimal.
So your questions ultimately can be simplified to: "Why is it that 9N will always have digits that sum to a multiple of 9?" And again thats a property of us working in base ten and 9 being the highest single digit integer, but I dont have a proof beyond that

'travel' is a process
a process is by definition a change that takes place during a positive change in time (a change that takes place over a negative change in time would be a reverse process)
To travel back in time is for a process (travel) (positive change in time) to occur during a negative change in time ('back in time')
Therefore, to 'go back in time' is for time to simultaneously progress and regress
That is to say 1=-1
But 1=-1 is not true
Therefore time travel doesn't real

I found that skin exhibits a bi-linear elasticity because of collagen and elastin.
Elastin takes much of the load in the beginning, then at one point, the strain begins to affect collagen fibers who get orientate in the direction of the stress, up to a point where they are mostly parallel to each other.
Now, the skin is under tension all the time because of something called Langer's lines and once you cut the skin of and look at it ex-vivo, skin will retract and lose the form it had under its natural applied stress.
From what I understand, that would be something you find in viscoelastic materials.
Then, when you take an ex-vivo skin sample and apply stress repetitively in the same direction you will notice residual strain adding up, up to a certain point, likely because the collagen network have rearrange to accommodate this deformation.
Now, also from what I understand that more of a viscoplastic characteristic.
So would the skin behave more like a viscoplastic or like a viscoelastic material?

Both your methods to work out the total number of pupils with both a cat and a dog make more sense to me, but they use a different method and it's not presented as something that should take much time to figure out. I don't know why but I still struggle with it. It just doesn't seem to flow in my head to where I feel I'd recognise this pattern quickly again.

its a language where white-space (spaces, tabs, newlines) are syntactically significant. try not indenting the lines after a function declaration or an if statement in python and it'll complain. basically, python replaces the brackets of something like C with newlines and indents. i dont think its a big deal, if you dont either then its not a problem. the fact that youre asking makes me think you didnt even notice it anyway.

If shorter wavelengths are more heavily scattered by air, does that mean, in practical terms, that UV lighting would be more greatly attenuated by distance to a measurable degree, say, in 0.5m to 2m from the source?

Let's say hypothetically you're some gay photographer using a UV lamp setup to take pictures of the patterns on flowers in the UV, and you are finding it difficult to light the flowers adequately unless the lamps are so close that they are almost in the way of the shot. You think back to using normal flashes for visible light photography, and feel surprises the light attenuates so dramatically, still considering the inverse square law. Would scattering be the likely explanation in the situation of this haplessly mathematically illiterate faggot?

People with cat 61 people with dog 68
people with cat and/or dog 102
The sum of (people with cat)+(people with dog) will differ from (people with cat and/or dog) by the amount of overlap there is between (people with cat) and (people with dog)
That is, the group of 68 and the group of 61 have to have exactly the amount of overlap that the total of the groups together is 102
So when you add 68 and 61, you're including the overlapped group of people twice, so you have to remove that overlap to arrive at 102
so 68+61-x=102
x=27

So purely due to geometry, the flux of light falls off with the inverse square law.
When considering only scattering/absorption light falls off exponentially (exp(-l*sigma*N)=exp(-tau)).
Here l is the path length through the atmosphere, N is the number denisty of particles and sigma is the cross-section. Whether or not the scattering/absorption is a dominant effect depends on what regime of the exponential you are in. If tau<<1, then the amount of light lost is small and basically linear with distance. When you have tau>1 most of the light is lost by scattering. Tau is the optical depth, the number of mean free paths between the source and observer.
I cannot find exact numbers, but given that light at that wavelength (365nm) makes it to the ground from space (from the Sun and other sources) we cannot be in exponential part. The mean free path must be many kilometers, not meters. So the photographer wouldn't notice any difference.

Okay, I managed to get this optimization down to one equation that
is a reasonable compromise between given variables and direct
access to a solution. This equation is:

[eqn] \left(\sin(\alpha) + {h\over2vt} \right)^2={1\over 2}+\left({h\over2vt} \right)^2 [/eqn].

It has height and (nonzero) velocity accounted for, but there's a "t"
in there that represents the time of travel of the ball from start
to the furthest distance possible where it lands. Gravity is also
assumed from "t", and I have the complicated expression that
optimizes this "t" if you wish to see it.

The range for [math] \sin(\alpha) [/math] and the angle is contained
in the first quadrant only, so use the positive square root. Then, you
will have the critical angle needed for the ball to travel the furthest.
If alpha breaks outside the first quadrant, adjust v, h or t as needed.

The 1/2 came out from completing the square on an intermediate solution I had,
[math] vt-2vt\sin^2(\alpha)-2h\sin(\alpha)=0 [/math]. When height and velocity are
kept constant, alpha does change the distance traveled by the object's horizontal
component, that is [math] d(\alpha)=vt\cos(\alpha) [/math]. The main part of the
problem is to have the maximal distance traveled by some specific alpha [math] d(\alpha') [/math].

I used some calculus to find out that this maximal distance at alpha prime is
[math] d(\alpha')=h\tan(2 \alpha') [/math] and used some trig identities to get
my solution to a manageable form.

Should I just kms if I can't understand the concept of negative numbers (and the set of integers) in any way other than considering them as complex numbers? -a is (i^2)*a, so it is rotating the section [0;a] by 180°. I can't accept the explanation of debt, because it has very narrow application. But with complex numbers I understand it just fine. And the negative times negative equals positive can be done much easier (i^2*i^2=i^4=1).

Cancel the rope order, you're alright. Although your concept of
negative numbers involves what others might think of as advanced
notions (or may care to understand it), it is a valid idea since
complex numbers are an extension of real numbers anyway.

Perhaps you can think of negative numbers as an extension of
whole numbers, especially when it comes to addressing
solutions of certain equations (ex. 3 - 4 = x). Or maybe, in an
abstract algebra direction, the idea of subtraction being
an anticommutative operation which justifies their existence
[that is, a - b = - (b - a)].

This is fine but you should also be able to understand notions like additive inverse or negative numbers as vectors with a direction.

I have the theory that prompts of free users are answered more generally and less precise, but longer, in order to make the answer longer to parse and delay additional prompts. A friend argued, that token count relates directly to computational cost, therefore openAI has no advantage of making answers longer.

I disagree because I think that the complexity of the prompt also plays a role.

Funnily enough chatGPT suggested that different attention weight distributions might have different computation costs. This seems plausible and exactly what I thought was additionally happening

As I said, it's not really the first time, since I've been doing the qchem classes for years (and TAing them too), but I think they are definitely dumbed down a bit. Most students in our programs are destined to be lab techs for oil companies, so they really don't need it. Fortunately, we got this Russian guy who still teaches it pretty hardcore to them. He has to make it very easy for them to anticipate the exam questions so the grades don't get too low, but he does teach the subject matter in pretty good detail in the classes.
>density matrices
They do seem to come up a lot in pulsed (Fourier-transform) EPR, which is mainly what I am doing. As far as I understand it, it's just a matrix that represents the current state of an evolving quantum system? It is kinda like a Bloch sphere, but it is a language to generalize it to arbitrary systems?

Pretty much, the thing is it can represent both classical uncertainty and quantum entangled states. So you can have points in the interior of the Bloch sphere.
Good luck with your defense!

I thought initial conditions include velocity of particles. So a given initial condition inevitably moves in the phase space a certain way. So if the x axis is some measure of position and the y-axis is some measure of velocity, then the states available at a given energy necessarily lie on a certain curve and those states don't lie on any other curve for other energies. I'm probably misunderstanding the concept here, but I'm picturing those phase space representations you see like of a pendulum with elliptic trajectories and stuff.

Can anyone confirm this? >>16255473>>16255516
Here's the rest of the discussion in the book. I don’t get how the rational trajectories can be ignored. As I understand it, the ergodic hypothesis is that the time average over a trajectory is equal to the 'space average' over possible states. Well, clearly the time average over a given rational trajectory is not equal to the average over all possible states as that includes trajectories starting from anywhere in the square and these will all fill the grid.

I think my confusion is about what exactly comprises the state space here? Are the slopes of the trajectories part of the state space? What counts as a possible state? I mean, how can you say that a given trajectory doesn't explore all possible states when it literally just does what is dictated by the laws of physics?

The ergodic hypothesis is about possible states, right? But it's not possible for a rational trajectory to explore the entire square, and thus it explores all that is physically possible. Or is it that it is possible for rational trajectories to hit everywhere in the square, just not for one starting position? So for irrational trajectories it doesn't matter where the ball starts, but for rational trajectories it can't reach everywhere no matter where it starts.

No, it only explores a part of the phase space. The square is the phase space. Your notion of "physically possible" is not how those words are normally used (it's identical to "on the trajectory")
>Or is it that it is possible for rational trajectories to hit everywhere in the square, just not for one starting position?
Yes, you cannot explore the phase space with any *single* rational trajectory
>So for irrational trajectories it doesn't matter where the ball starts, but for rational trajectories it can't reach everywhere no matter where it starts.
Yes exactly that's what the theorem is about. And there are infinitely more irrational trajectories than rational trajectories, so a random trajectory visits the entire phase space with probability 1

What was confusing is that when the authors introduced the notion of state space they said it encoded the positions, velocities, angular velocities etc. of every single particle (in a gas, for example) as a single point in some gadzillion-dimensional space. So I thought the slope of the trajectory would be part of the phase space. In that case, I wonder what constitutes a trajectory in a state space that includes velocities of the particles. Like how could a particle go through such a space and attain every velocity.

Wdym? There are situations in which you can turn ODEs into polynomials, then complex numbers help you because they give roots to those polynomials. I'm not sure what you're thinking of otherwise.

Experimental particle physicists and CERNheads, what does the [math]\sqrt{s}[/math] and [math]\int L dt[/math] (guessing this is the action of something but I have no idea what the units mean) mean in this figure?

How would you go about figuring out what the counterweight would need to be for this?
What kind of material would even be used that would weight enough and also be transportable? Would it make more sense to temporarily drill it into the ground or what?

[math]\sqrt{s}[/math] is the CM energy, which is the total energy of the particles being collided, as perceived by an observer stationary relative to their joint centre of mass.
The L is luminosity, the number of events detected over time in a certain cross-section. Integrating with respect to time gives you the inverse of the cross-section, which here is measured in femtobarns (1 barn being about the area of a uranium nucleus)

How the fuck do I identify the characteristic of quadratic form Q(h,k)? I'm not getting any of these problems correctly. Why the fuck for instance is h^2+hk+k^2 pos. definite but h^2+2hk+k^2 semidefinite????

Anonymous at Mon, 1 Jul 2024 12:57:11 UTC No. 16262784

>>16262767
[math]h^2+2hk+k^2=(h+k)^2[/math], so it has real roots wherever [math]h=k[/math], and since we have roots for nonzero real vectors, it is semidefinite.
On the other hand, if you fix [math]h[/math] and use the quadratic formula to solve for [math]k[/math] in [math]h^2+hk+k^2[/math], you'll find that there are no solutions where both are real besides [math](0,0)[/math]. As such, it is not semidefinite.

So testing for non-zero roots will reveal whether the quadratic form is definite or semi-definite, what about indefinite? How do I tell if something is positive or negative definite?

Can't you calculate eigenvalues of the relevant matrix? [math]h^2+hk+k^2=v^t A v[/math] for [math]v=(h,k)[/math] and [math]A=\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{pmatrix}[/math], and all eigenvalues are >0 so it's pos def. For your other case one eigenvalue is 0 so it's pos semidef.
This is probably equivalent to whatever the other suggestions are but I thought I'd mention it.

Nowhere in the book does it mention using eigenvalues, I barely know what they are I haven't had linear algebra yet. I'm just gonna learn this method because googling trying to find how to do it just sends me back to these fucking eigenvalues

Oh actually this might be retarded because there can be multiple matrices corresponding to the same quadratic form. I think it should be symmetric as well, so the off-diagonal elements should be 1/2 here.

In a theorem my textbook differentiates between a module (over a commutative ring) being free or finite dimensional. Aren't they the same though?

Remember that ideals are always modules and that that's the single easiest way to construct non-free modules.

Dunno, it's part of the course book, like I said, it doesn't mention much linear algebra, especially not eigenvalues, save for determinants, scalar and cross product. With quadratic forms they just tell us to look at it and try some values, I don't think this is sufficient

I'm a fa/tg/uy who is about to play in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. For our six attribute scores, our GM made us roll 18 d6 and replace four of the lowest with sixes, leaving us with a following pool:

1x0
2x3
3x4
4x2
5x2
6x7

We would then divide the dice to sets of three. Repeated values and sums are fine but we of course can't use the same dice more than once.

My question is that how many combinations can we get from that pool of dice? How about non-repeating combinations? Could I print out the combinations in some program or website?

Thank you for your patience and sorry for being a brainlet.

An optics question:
Apochromatic lenses focus three target wavelengths to the same depth. As a result, there is a focus shift when using these lenses to photograph in light significantly outside of the visible range (UV and infrared). Would this focus shift be a static number, no matter the distance of subject to camera?

Anonymous at Tue, 2 Jul 2024 06:22:05 UTC No. 16263915

[math]\mu[/math] is Lebesgue measure on [math]\mathbb{R}[/math]. Assume [math]T: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}[/math] is measure preserving, ergodic and invertible. Let [math]A \subset \mathbb{R}[/math] have finite measure and denote [math]A_n = T^n A \setminus \bigcup_{j=0}^{n-1} T^j A[/math] for all [math]n \ge 0[/math].

Claim: [math]\lim_{n\to \infty} \mu(A_n) = 0[/math] and [math]\mathbb{R} = \bigcup_{n=0}^\infty A_n[/math] up to null sets.

Why? I cannot see it. I imagine I should prove that [math]\widetilde{A} := \bigcup_{n=0}^\infty A_n[/math] is [math]T[/math]-invariant to conclude that [math]X = \widetilde{A}[/math]. I see why [math]T\widetilde{A} \subset \widetilde{A}[/math] but I don't see why must [math]\widetilde{A} \subset T \widetilde{A}[/math]. I also don't understand why [math]\mu(A_n) \to 0[/math].

>>16263871
No, in general the focus delta has a non-linear dependence on the wavelength (e.g. the shift for UV would be different to IR). The lens are designed so they bring the three specific colors to a common focus and its why the lens configuration is so complicated since each of those wavelengths has a different shift.

Thanks for responding. Sorry, I improperly phrased my question. What I mean to ask is, assuming you are shooting at one specific wavelength outside of the visible, let's say 850nm, does the focus shift at 850nm change with the distance of the camera to the subject? If I am 2m away or 0.5m away, is focus shift always going to be the same at a given wavelength?

Anonymous at Tue, 2 Jul 2024 07:15:49 UTC No. 16263983

>>16263937
I'm unclear why you think the distance matters? At some fixed wavelength the light going through the lens will be refracted by some fixed amount.

I'm supposed to prove that [math]I_{xx} + I_{yy} > I_{zz}[/math] for the diagonal entries of the inertia tensor [math]I[/math] assuming that the rigid body is not a disk in the [math]xy[/math] plain.

Isn't this false? Imagine a object of negligible volume located on a disk in the [math]xy[/math] plain. In this case, the [math]z[/math] components would be a null set and we'd get an equality instead of an inequality.

What do you think, am I supposed to do here? Do they low-key want me to assume that the object has to have an non-negligible extension in the [math]z[/math] direction?

It shows. The original explanation for that (by the experimentalists who first performed the experiment) is now regarded as wrong - but that hasn't stopped all the pop-sci myths from still existing. There's no delayed-choice / effect-before-cause going on. All that is taking place is the filtering of information.

I took a physics 2 class and the teacher was going over LRC circuits which I remember dealing with a little in ODE class but I didn't understand how you can just handwave away all the calculus and turn it into a simple problem where you just sub in the complex numbers.

It was unclear to me as well. I was finding my photos out of my focus despite using a flat focus shift (film, so can't check work on the fly). I had the same thinking as you, and felt like it must be me being retarded. Apparently not, at least not in that case. I must be making a mistake somewhere else. Thank you for the help.

I believe there is something I don't fully comprehend, I'm assuming it has something to do with being an inflection point and not an extreme point? I can't comprehend it, I just do derivative test, get derivative = 0 and say that it is an extreme point... Multivariable calculus seems so convoluted, I must've missed something in my studies...

How do I discern them in multivariable? Do I make a table of 2nd p. derivative? I thought the entire point of the quadratic form I've learnt is to avoid the table and figure it out more methodically
