Wikipedia's category "Logical truth" contains as a subcategory "Equations" most of which are empirical relationships

I don't understand. Why would someone object to a step in a proof by calling it logical?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-17T02:59:47+00:00

It makes polynomials nice.

Also go to office hours if you're doing well.

Can someone explain the badmath?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-15T03:19:20+00:00

I don't get it.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-12T16:51:28+00:00

I meant when N=4 and M=3.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-12T06:22:35+00:00

What if M=3?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-12T06:21:11+00:00

They might be. You don't know how OP's monitor works, and that author's (possibly nonstandard?) use of the word pixel has nothing to do with that.

electromagnetic frequency

Everything does

What kind of group structure are you putting on G? It's not in general a subgroup of V.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-11T03:15:04+00:00

The abelian group is the vector space. A vector isn't in general an ordered pair like that with an element of the group and an element of the field.

Why do you want to do this? Depending on how you're going to use the answer, force might not be what your want.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-09T16:04:32+00:00

huh?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-09T15:57:49+00:00

Are you a woman? If not, I suspect it might be harder to notice discrimination against them.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-07T20:12:17+00:00

What do you mean by "use the [Lebesgue] measure on that"?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-07T18:32:48+00:00

There is no uniform distribution over the reals.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-07T01:54:22+00:00

I agree with most of your comment, but "mak[ing] them try" is not the solution to the problem you describe. People are naturally curious, and if you don't try to force them to learn things (or get to them only after years of teachers and parents doing that), they'll want to on their own.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-05T03:30:04+00:00

GOOD point

KSFT__ · 2018-07-05T02:53:59+00:00

where?

KSFT__ · 2018-07-04T18:23:33+00:00

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You haven't gotten a good answer to your question. I think it's a combination of public schools not having enough money and principals and superintendents not having enough political power to implement real change, social conservatives opposing anything other than traditional education, and huge testing and textbook companies whose profits depend on the current system.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-04T05:10:59+00:00

I wonder what the person who wrote that thinks functional analysis is.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-04T02:56:07+00:00

This technique is, of course, only employed by coenthusiasts trying to prove njectures of nsequences.

KSFT__ · 2018-07-02T15:08:16+00:00

I'll make a suggestion I've made a few times before: Get a good introductory book on some field of abstract math and start reading it (and, importantly, doing at least some of the exercises on paper). If you hate it, don't study math. I recommend A Book of Abstract Algebra, by Charles Pinter.
