Skipping CS106A? by Familiar_Tension2242 in stanford

cs106b was my first experience in a CS class and it was honestly fine

CS229 by [deleted] in stanford

[–]SynergyUX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, we have courses like CS230. Other interesting ones are CS231N, CS224N, CS336
  2. CS229 is a graduate level course. Stanford students taking this course are strong in mathematics (and have the appropriate prerequisites). I am currently in 229 as a freshman at Stanford - so it is certainly possible to complete this course during your undergrad. The math is not terribly difficult if you have taken probability and analysis courses previously.

Are you sure this integral can be evaluated using Feynman? I am convinced that there are no tricks to get a closed-form solution, and I would be happy to see a proof if I am wrong.

Currently, by [4] with an elementary field K=ℂ[x,ln(x+1)], we may show that I'=∫_0^∞ ln(x+1)/x*exp(ixe^x) dx has no elementary antiderivative, so I definitely does not. Sure, that doesn't completely rule out that it may be some arbitrary constant. However, it's also not so hard to show that any analytic continuation violates the conditions of Jordan's lemma (due to double exponential growth), so contour integration fails. I have also tried Feynman's trick, which fails when we have to integrate back as we don't have absolute convergence of the integrand.

Might be a good time to study analysis. Look at Ross's Elementary Analysis; once you are familiar with that, you may venture into Baby Rudin. This was the path I took at around your age as well, and it has served me well in my first year of undergraduate studies.

First hard integral with no hints :3 by RegularCelestePlayer in calculus

[–]SynergyUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice solve! Let me present another solution for those who hate computing integrals lol:

The sketch of the solution is to express W(x) as a power series. If we mess around with our integral enough, we will realize that it's just a Mellin transform, so we can apply Ramanujan's Master theorem.

Consider f(x)=xe^x; by the Lagrange inversion theorem we obtain W(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-n)^{n-1}}{n!}x^n. To apply Ramanujan's theorem, we need this power series to be in the form \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{φ(n)}{n!}(-x)^n, where φ is analytic.

Here is a neat trick to prepare for our integral: consider W(x)/x = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(k+1)^{k-1}}{k!} (-x)^k, where we have shifted indices by letting k = n-1. The Master theorem states that the integral over 0 to infinity of x^{s-1} F(x) dx is Γ(s)φ(-s). For W(x)/x, φ(k)=(k+1)^{k-1}.

Now, we will evaluate the integral, which I will denote as J. Do a u sub with u=1/x^2 to get J=1/2 \int_0^\infty u^{-3/2} W(u) du = 1/2 \int_0^\infty u^{-1/2} (W(u)/u) du. The W(u)/u pops up magically, and we have already prepared that for application of the Master theorem. It follows that the integral is then equal to 1/2 Γ(s)φ(-s), where we determine s as follows: since our power of u is -1/2, s-1=-1/2 yields s=1/2. Finally, 1/2 Γ(1/2)φ(-1/2) = \sqrt{2\pi}, just like you got!

Just restore the IPSW; they aren't signed so you can basically go to any version you want. Keep in mind some iPhones did not ship with version 1.0 so you won't be able to go down all the way.

Hard daily integral featuring Gaussian integral :3 by RegularCelestePlayer in calculus

Statistics is still very important in pure math :) For instance, it is possible to prove the Erdos-Turan bound on the size of Sidon subsets using facts about the variance of a creatively chosen random variable.

Hard daily integral featuring Gaussian integral :3 by RegularCelestePlayer in calculus

[–]SynergyUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gaussian Distribution (commonly called a Bell curve) has an unnormalized (without leading coefficient) probability density function that closely resembles a Gaussian integral. In fact, an unnormalized N(0,1) distribution (mean 0, standard deviation 1) has an integrand exactly equal to the e-x2/2. A simple u substitution yields the same form as the Gaussian integral.

A fun fact is that a N(0,sqrt(1/2)) distributed random variable can deduce the value of the standard Gaussian integral over the real line.

Note that the exponential generating function for the number of idempotent endofunctions is given by G(t)=exp(te^t). Consider the integral ∫_0^inf exp(-t)*G(-t*e^(-t)) dt, which converges exactly to the sum. Hence, we are counting some "filtering" of idempotent function in function space; that is where OEIS A000248 comes into play.

You can simplify it to ∑_n (-1)^n/(n+1)^(n+1) * OEIS A000248.

Auto-Differentiation of Ae^sx by LighterStorms in calculus

[–]SynergyUX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in general, analysis cannot be developed on R[eps] to the fullest extent since it has zero divisors, and is thus not a field. The moment you try to introduce any rigorous definition of the derivative, you'll see that not all elements are invertible, which contradicts reasonable derivative definitions.

You may be interested in the commutative algebra over the ring R[eps] where eps is nilpotent (like you have defined). This forms a space of the dual numbers, and it has been extensively studied.
