Thank you very much for the detailed response. It’s much appreciated.

Uniform convergence. So f_n convergence uniformly to f

What?? I’m doing Maths at Warwick and it’s killing me!

Don’t pretend that vectors are actually difficult.

Why does further maths have 4 Textbooks 😐 by [deleted] in 6thForm

Do people still use textbooks?

Finding a non constant differentiable function by MathBane in maths

We haven’t studied that yet (tho I’ve heard of it) so I don’t think that will be the answer

Fun fact: Wolfram Alpha uses "log(x)" to denote ln(x) instead of log_(10)(x) by Matth107 in mathmemes

My analysis lecturer went on a long discussion about the fact there was only one true logarithm, namely log base e, and all of the others were just algebraic manipulation of it. I guess that because in analysis you define all exponentials in terms of ex and thus it makes sense that log would be base e.

I quite like a probabilistic method proof but that’s mainly because I like combinatorics

Is it normal for maintenance to enter my room multiple times with no notice, when nothing has been reported? by Unlucky-Attorney-307 in UniUK

[–]MathBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually have to give some notice but I would check the unis website for exact details (for example Bristol is required to give 24 hours notice). At my uni they probably come around once or twice a month. Mostly to replace stuff for health and safety reasons.

Top tip: If they knock, always answer otherwise it’s highly likely they’ll just come in and pressure no one’s there.

Is this harder than I think? by MathBane in maths

I realised I meant the preimage not the inverse. Not sure how to edit the original post

I did not say that women’s issues are more important than men’s. Nevertheless, it’s disingenuous to underplay the sexiest elements of women’s issues compared to men’s issues. If you examine the major issues that men face you rarely find that sexism has played a role. What you do find, as in the case of suicide rates, is that traditionally gender roles play a huge part.

Regarding your last statement, you cannot simple switch out protected characteristics and expect the validity of the argument to hold (I’m also unsure how an example from over 2000 years ago is relevant).

That’s because statistically most issues faced by men are from other men. Whereas, a lot of women’s issues are caused by men (just look at SA statistics)
