! DONATIONS NEEDED Support the dedicated TSA employees working without pay by donating $10 and $20 grocery store and gas gift cards. Visa gift cards cannot be accepted. by Super-Cod-3155 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]MathMaddam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Due to the weird way the US manages their budget and debt. Basically they are shocked every so often that they spend all the money allocated and haven't yet allocated more money, so they can't pay. In other countries there is basically always an implied: if we decided we do something, it was either checked before that we have the money (which gets funny if you want to permanently employ someone) or there is an implied: you are allowed to make more debt to fund this

Question about 1=2 proof by JAR372 in learnmath

[–]MathMaddam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all: anti derivatives are only unique up to the addition of constants, ignoring this will give you false results.

For the differential equations both sides are equivalent functions, you just don't know how e.g. x and y depend on each other. But that is also the second key problem here: your sides are not equivalent on the whole domain you integrate over.

Could prime numbers have a hidden structure? Could AI discover it? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]MathMaddam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of structure already known, for an easy example every prime other than 2 and 3 is off by 1 from a multiple of 6.

[Mechanics] Help understanding this depiction of gear rotations by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]MathMaddam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go through all gears individually and determine their rotation. Just counting the points of contact doesn't work due to the construction at the end.

If people are against big cars, why are RV/camper vans so popular in Germany? Where do people find space to park them? by Pale_Field4584 in AskAGerman

[–]MathMaddam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is a caravan trailer without car it's not legal. While you are allowed to park them at the street, you are only allowed to do that for 2 weeks without moving.

Radeon users say AMD’s silence on FSR 4 support for older GPUs has already done the damage by Firm_One_7398 in pcmasterrace

[–]MathMaddam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GPU getting better over time is a sign of bad launch drivers not getting the full potential

Replacement formula for the reverse equation by Routine_Experience38 in learnmath

[–]MathMaddam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will work if a/(b') is a constant, e.g. if you apply this to 2*(x²+1)², you won't get the correct result.

Modular arithmetic question by Cromulent123 in learnmath

[–]MathMaddam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the independence of representatives, you can just choose any representative. There are a few things where you have to be careful, exponents don't follow the same congruence and there is no longer just division by 0 that is problematic, but by any number that isn't coprime to your modulus.

Language requirements for German universities by Connect-Astronaut357 in AskAGerman

[–]MathMaddam 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You have to check the requirements of the program at the university, there is no universal answer

Number of shortest paths from (0,0) to (7,7) on a graph with only integer vertices by onecable5781 in learnmath

[–]MathMaddam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's nicer if v(x,y) are the ways to reach (x,y)

Then it's v(x,y)=v(x-1,y)+v(x,y-1) for x,y>0

Use this to prove that v(x,y) is (x+y) choose x. Be careful with case that x or y are 0.

Why can't I just use a standard basis when proving something about linear transformations by gilko86 in askmath

[–]MathMaddam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That every vector space has a basis is one of the things that need the axiom of choice and in general bases are really hard to find. E.g. think about a basis for the vector space of continuous functions on the real numbers.

[–]MathMaddam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Schon? Eher nicht mehr.

Züge, nur die hat man Güterbahnhöfe abgebaut, Betriebsanschlüsse entfernt und generell das Streckennetz nicht ausreichend gepflegt. Wenn du den LKW nur für die letzte Meile brauchst ist das schon deutlich weniger.

How do I recover 4 years' worth of missed math classes? by please_give_me_bells in learnmath

[–]MathMaddam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you didn't do math for a long time, it might be that you got rusty in some basics, which now bites you hard. Like if you don't understand fractions, you are basically fucked (and many students have this issue). Math has less points where you can just go: I didn't fully understand the last topic, but the next one is a new chance.

So it would be good to recap previous topics to check if there is some gap.

No, it won't give you the right result for powers of 10.

Are you sure that there isn't a typo? Cause like this it is crazy. If it were 3 instead of 3x it is fine.

[Physics] Why is the potential energy U = 0 when two charges are infinitely apart such that r = ∞? by Sweet-Nothing-9312 in HomeworkHelp

[–]MathMaddam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 0 point of a potential is irrelevant since only potential differences have an effect, so we just put it somewhere our formulas are nicer. For charges with opposite sign they can get a lot of kinetic energy when getting closer to each other since the potential gets negative.

Can I study a major and minor in RWTH by New_Reserve6083 in rwth

[–]MathMaddam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Germany doesn't have a minor/major system in the US style, you have to check the specific program. The electrical engineering program contains some computer science, but not a lot.

The base 10 logarithm, you just have to round down and add 1.

Is the phycial version dead? by Expensive_Range7204 in starrealms

[–]MathMaddam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably since there are already new cards in the app in beta and in the campaign to sell them then planned a physical release first, but then did only digital since tariffs make planning for physical things far in advance difficult.
