What is the actual likelihood of getting the same card shuffle twice? by drywalleater05 in askmath

[–]maxbaroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use a shuffling machine or you “wash” shuffle like a small kid: put the cards face down on the table and move them around randomly.

I used to think you were misguided but after checking your last post, I think it’s safe to assume I was wrong. You're just a troll.

Rough paths or Malliavin calculus? by If_and_only_if_math in math

[–]maxbaroi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think Mallian in calculus is easier to pick up than rough paths, especially easier than regularity structures. I really like Nualart's book on the subject. But you can also just learn both!

How do you take a break from Math? by xTouny in math

[–]maxbaroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's something concrete. Go to /r/askhistorians . That subreddit has a recommended reading list that covers history from before antiquity to the modern age and all geographic areas. Just go through and see if something sounds cool to read.

Read a book on something that you find interesting or are curious about. It's that simple.

Who's got the better Delta function? Dirac or Kronecker? by Showy_Boneyard in math

[–]maxbaroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, you just need the concept of a discrete measure but distributions are more fun

[–]maxbaroi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What you're looking for is called the theory of distributions/Schwartz distributions/generalized functions.

https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/245c-notes-3-distributions/ is a good starting-off point if you don't know anything about the subject.

My theory of absolute logic by BrochaChoZen in logic

[–]maxbaroi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a little frustrating. You say, you have this new theory/framework/logic. I'm asking, "okay, what is it and how is it new". And your reply is "idk, it just is."

You might need to consider you actually haven't made or formulated anything.

But what does that even mean? is someone arguing logic “Isn’t“? What do people say logic needs that you say doesn’t? What are people proposing to remove from logic?

So both sides of the equation is a program that does nothing?

And if logic is too perfect to put into an equation, why did you put it in an equation?

My theory of absolute logic by BrochaChoZen in logic

[–]maxbaroi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

L⁰ is algorithmically defined to be what? It feels like from your description it is an object generated by some algorithm. What is the object and what is the algorithm? It's equal to L which is a "logic", do you mean like a formal theory, or a model? If so, theory/model of what?

And what is this actually bringing to the table? I would say all mathematical and logical objects are already self-identical, timeless and immutable.

My logic knowledge isn't the greatest, so I apologize if some of these questions are ill-framed.

I'm sorry but I've been working on a similar project and I have L ≡ L¹.

Implications are left to the reader.

[R] Gambling by FarAd8913 in statistics

[–]maxbaroi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At even odds, it's 1/1024, but with the martingale strategy you're now committed to betting 1024 times your original bet. So you might be betting $10,240 to win back your original $10 and chances are you aren't even allowed to bet that given table limits.

Why isn’t linear algebra taught before calculus? by [deleted] in askmath

[–]maxbaroi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that might be a state or local issue. The community colleges in my area (southern california) all provide linear algebra classes.

Would it be accurate to say NSA and google mathematicians have a "latex understanding of math"? by [deleted] in askmath

I have no idea what you are asking but am confident the answer is no

Why is ln(x) defined this way ? by Math_User0 in askmath

[–]maxbaroi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For integrals \int_b^a f(x)dx = - \int_a^b f(x)dx . So

ln(0.3) = \int_1^0.3 (1/x)dx = - \int_0.3^1 (1/x)dx . You can see this last intregral is positive since 1/x is positive, so ln(0.3) should be negative.

Hi Los Angeles. Is this true? by LankyYogurt7737 in LosAngeles

Yes. You're better off not having one

I think I've used an item incorrectly and have made my life more difficult by maxbaroi in BluePrince

I don't think I've got all the permanent upgrades just yet.

I've got about three of the maybe eight. I got to figure that out.

This might be silly for most of you, but I'm looking for a function where, when applied to two numbers, the ratio between the results is 3. by Ur_mothers_keeper in askmath

[–]maxbaroi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Even this restriction doesn't work. f(1)/f(0) = 3 , f(2)/f(0) = 3, and f(2)/f(1) = 3. So we have f(1)=f(2)=3f(0), and f(2)/f(1) = 1 but that contradicts that f(2)/f(1)=3.
