What is the integral of $\oint_c \frac{1}{z-2}dz$ around the circle $|z-1|=5$? The book says its $2\pi i$.

What I got:

moving to polar coordinates ($z=1+5e^{i\theta})$ I can rewrite the integral as
[eqn]\int_0^{2\pi}\frac{5ie^{i\theta}}{-1+5e^{i\theta}}d \theta[/eqn]
using
[eqn]y=e^{i\theta}\\
dy=ie^{i\theta}d \theta[/eqn]
but then my limits will be 1 and 1.

$e^{i t}$ is a curve in $\mathbb{C}$ which winds around the origin counterclockwise. the parameter $t$ is basically angle. the complex logarithm should do the inverse thing: given a point on the circle it should give you the corresponding angle in the range $[0,2\pi)$. problem is that this function cannot be continuous. as you go around the full circle, the angle approaches $2\pi$, i.e. $\lim_{t\to 2\pi^-}\log e^{it} = 2\pi$. but $\log e^{i2\pi} = \log e^{i0} = 0$. however it works fine as long as you stay away from the positive $x$-axis, which is exactly where $0$ and $2\pi$ meet as angles.
your integrand has primitive $\log\left(-1+5e^{i\theta} \right)$ but only on $\mathbb{C}$ without the "positive $x$-axis emanating from -1". so it works fine if you don't integrate over a full circle, but only around an arc which misses the point $-1 + 5$:
[eqn]\int_{0+a}^{2\pi - b}\dots = \left[ \log(-1+5e^{i\theta})\right]_{0+a}^{2\pi-b}[/eqn]
this formula holds for every arc missing the mentioned point. you'll get the integral over the full circle if you connect the boundary points, i.e. send $a \to 0^+$ and $b\to 0^+$ while keeping in mind that $\lim_{t\to 2\pi^-}\log e^{it} = 2\pi$. you should get 2pi.

I'm lost in graph theory language, any pointers to particular algorithms/problems that are applicable greatly appreciated

bipartite graph, no parallel edges
degree distribution of red nodes given, bipartite so these edges are all red <-> blue

blue nodes have a total, say 100
red nodes have a weight, edge of red <-> blue node weight is subtracted from total
blue node total >= 0

weight for edge to any blue is constant
cost of red <-> blue1 = 5
is the same as red <-> blue2 = 5

for example
red node degree dist (1, 1) with weights (2, 3)

blue nodes with total (5, 3)

what sort of problem is this? any pointers to specific terms ?
right deficient matching?

a follow up if you're up too it - whats the quickest way to validate if given red node degree distribution, weights, blue node totals
but no edges, that there exists a valid solution

i feel like it's just some dynamic programming solution or integer programming but i felt putting it in graph theory terms
there might be something smarter and analytical

People want unique dinners. Different people want a different number of unique dinners, some want 4 different dinners, others 2.

For each dinner, there is a varying number of portions each person wants, some want 2 portions of 4 different dinners, others want 4 portions of 2 different dinners.

We have a stock of portions for each dinner.
Given the number of portions of each dinner, and what dinner demand is - is there a valid solution

Remember - each person must have a set number of portions from x different dinner options.

Whats the sense of the standard evistion formula?

It just looks like the mean of errors but skewed upwards because the denominator is under square root (I simplified it, since the numerator is squared I apply the square root to both and it just becomes the sum of all errors, converted to positive by being squared and then square rooted, divided by the number of measures under square root) I dont get the sense, would a normal average error be better?

Hi /sqt/
Tourist here hoping for some help with my finance homework. Just to clarify: the problem is already completed I just would like help understanding where the value 5256.28 comes from.

I thought FCF6 is supposed to be 3507(1.075)^6 = 5412.36 but that is wrong and following through the equation with that number gives a value outside of the 10% margin for error.

Also, I'm confused on which values should be used to calculate the NPV using a time-value of money function on the TI-84.
N = 5
I = 10%
PV = (solve for)
PMT = 0
FV = 99572.18(???)
Are the values that I use but these are clearly wrong.

I know how to do this calculation by hand, but that is incredibly time-consuming and the upcoming exam that might cover this material will be timed.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

N is the Number of periods, in this case 5 years
I is the Interest rate, in this case the WACC of 10%
PV is the Present Value of all the periods valued at that interest rate.
PMT is the amount paid per month, like dividends or rent payments, this problem doesn't have any.
FV is the Future Value, which should be the combined value of the Cash Flows (CF).

Posting same question from previous thread.

Could someone please explain the concept of entropy to me? I just don't understand it... my current understanding is firstly that its 'disorder' but that isn't really useful for understanding what it represents numerically. I think it can be thought of as the potential useful work available from a heat(?) source, where a higher $\Delta S$ means there is less potential work available. Is this correct? If not, please articulate it to me.
>>
>>12352017
maybe it's helpful to think of it in terms of boltzmann's definition: $S = k_B ln(W)$, where kb is boltzmann constant and W is the "number of microstates" (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstate_(statistical_mechanics) )
you can think of disordered systems as having a larger number of microstates, corresponding to all of the ways that you can achieve that type of system. for example, if you have a collection of spins, all of them aligned in one direction can only happen one way, whereas an even mixture of up and down can happen in many different ways.
>>
it's 25
>>
>>12352059
Thanks, the micro/macrostate definition was never covered in my thermo course and is new to me. What I am trying to get at is how I can think of entropy in terms of heat within a thermodynamic system. For example, in a diesel cycle process 2-3 (constant pressure heat addition), what does the increase in $S$ represent? If you could explain this in terms of micro/macrostates I might have a better understanding.

>>12351088
Null: Boring result, what the researcher is looking for evidence to reject. The meds don't do anything or worse, average crop yield is no better than control, no reason to believe median cholesterol lowered, etc.

Alternative: Desired result, what we want to find evidence for usually, although this type of thinking can be dangerous in science. Medication improves survival probability, average yield is higher than control, median bad cholesterol decreased with use of pill. You have to use weasel words in technical writing but people usually get it.

Rejection region: If the stat lands here, reject the null in favor of the alternative. Ideally determined before the experiment by theory or prior data. Usually extreme in some sense, like if we want to show evidence that the population average is larger than some value, we have evidence to that effect if the sample average is much larger than the specified value. The theory is where we get more specific and prove certain methods are 'best.'

Alpha: Probability of hitting the rejection region, and rejecting null given null is true. A bad result, want alpha small like .05 or lower.

Beta: Chance of missing the rejection region given the alternative is true. Almost always the case but a bad result, how bad can vary depending on how far the truth is from the null.

Power analysis can involve figuring out how small a deviation from the null you want to detect with chance 1-beta, how big a sample you may need to do that or better. In your pic the alternative average is big enough to the point where beta is fairly small, for example. But that's a meme.

Does anybody know the name of this circuit? At first glance it's a common emitter with an active load and active bias, however I am told it has a special name. It has somethig to do with load curves, that's all I know.
I'd appreciate any help. The gain is around 0.6 with a 2k2 load and around 0.2 with an infinite load (that is, open circuited), and R1=R2 in both cases.
At first my theory was that it was some sort of programable current source, controling the R1 and R2 ratio to determine how much of the current sourced from the up mirror is sinked in the lower one. But I can't find any info online about it.
Thank you

I'm probably one of the few people qualified to talk about this but I want to make sure I know what you're asking since I'm a little lost. And since notation varies wildly by subfield.
What type of state are you representing? The excited state of a nucleus?

My best guess is that the subscript is orbital or total angular momentum. Since excited nuclear states may have different angular momentum from their ground states.

I have an assignment to do on linear regression. Have to extract the data, make some analysis based on it, plot it, all of that stuff.

Problem is, I have no fucking clue of what subject should I choose. I have to make the sample (probably with a google formulary or something like that), so I can't just grab some data from the internet from any given random subject and do the analysis. Any ideas of something more or less doable here? I only came up with very simple, dull and dumb things like the correlation between hours studied and your notes but that's so fucking obvious. It's just that I have no idea of what could I ask to random college students. The subject can be anything I suppose, but it shouldn't be too polemic and it should allow me to fit a linear regression

I take notes so that when I'm done I can go verify that I've actually done something. It's far too easy to just scroll through pdfs without actually thinking about the content at all.

I'm currently reading Algebra by Artin. This is my first time going through a math book on my own. Is it normal to have to re read some sections over and over again until I understand them? It seems like I keep getting stuck on a proof or concept he is talking about. So far, I've been able to figure it out, but I'm only near the beginning of the book.

Proving a surjective function has a right inverse without using the axiom of choice.

So, I was bored today and came up with this:
Let $f:A \to B$ be a function with no right inverse. This means that for every function $g:B \to A$ there is some $y \in B$ such that $f(g(y)) \neq y$ (*). Suppose that there is some $x \in A$ such that $f(x)=y$. Then define $h:B \to A$ as $h(b)=x$. Since (*) holds for $h$ then $y = f(x) = f(h(y)) \neq y$. Thus, $f$ is not surjective. By contrapositive, we have proven that if a function is surjective, then it has a right inverse.
The problem is that I've heard about a million times that proving this requires AC, which means I've either used it without realising it or fucked up the proof somewhere. So, could you tell me where?

(2^n)*x = (2^n)*(a/b) = (2^n-1)*(a/b)+(a/b) = k+x where k is an integer. IOW, the binary representation of x repeats every n bits, with those bits being the binary representation of the integer k.

A repeating decimal can be converted to a fraction using the formula for the sum of a convergent geometric series. If d is the integer formed by the digits which repeat and n is the repetition period then x = d/(10^n-1). E.g. x=0.428571428571428571... = 428571/999999 = 3/7. To cancel fractions, use the Euclidean algorithm to find the GCD.

It really depends on what you're most interested in. Some fields don't use much math while others can get fairly involved (e.g. manifold learning or some bayesian stuff). At the most generic level, learning more probability, mathematical statistics, and linear algebra is super helpful. Check out Michael Jordan's list of books that he thinks are most important for ML

analysis isn't directly as useful, but for me it was the most important piece of being able to read research papers well. mathematical maturity and all that.

Wew, rare.

Anyhow:
Any ring with identity $R$ that isn't a PID works, because a ring with identity is a cyclic module over itself (generated by the identity) and admits a non-principal ideal (which is the same as a non-cyclic submodule).
I particularly recommend using the clasical example $R=M=\mathbb{Z}[x, y]$ and the non-cyclic submodule $\langle x, y\rangle$.

J=m(vf-vi) is there in the text. But you're given two vectors in polar form, and to get their sum or difference in either polar or Cartesian form requires converting the individual vectors to Cartesian components, adding (or subtracting), then (optionally) converting the result to polar form.

For b, you have to prove that if the summation is valid for n, then it is valid for n+1 for all n. In b, you can cancel out the first k terms using a, then claim that the remaining terms are equal for all n by taking out the parentheses. I dont know the context here so it might be too informal

Hi, anon,
I hope, I understand how does the Bayesian updating work when we have evidence E, but I don’t know to update it if we have the opposite of the evidence - E. In other words, how to lower our confidence about the hypothesis?

Let's imagine that we are at war (yes, it’s me again with military examples).
$P(H)$- the probability that there is a sniper at the enemy side. It is 1/1000 (on each 1k of soldiers there is 1 sniper)
$P(E|H)$ - probability of the hit if the sniper makes a shot. Let it be 0.95.
$P(E)$ - probability of the average hit at modern warfare - 0.5.
H for hypothesis, E for evidence

1. Given that there was one deadly shot that killed Kenny, how does our belief that it was a sniper change?
$P(H|E) = \frac{P(E|H)P(H)}{P(E)} = \frac{P(E|H) P(H)}{P(E|H) P(H)+P(E|\neg H) P(\neg H)}$
Also a question:
I expand $P(E)$, the part $P(E|H)*P(H) = 0.001*0.95 = 0.00095$, so $P(E|\negH)P(\negH)$ must be equal to 0.5-0.00095 = 0.49905. $P(\negH)$ is 999/1000 = 0.999. And if I’m right $P(E|\negH)$ is NOT $1 - P(E|H)$, because it made the probability of the shot, given that it is not made by a sniper, as 0.05 and this does not look okay. Does it?

So it is calculated as $\fraq{P(E|H)P(H)}{P(\negH)}=0.49905/0.999=0.49954954955$

Then, $P(H|E) = \frac{P(E|H)P(H)}{P(E)} = \frac{P(E|H) P(H)}{P(E|H) P(H)+P(E|\neg H) P(\neg H)} = \frac{0.00095}{0.5}=0.0018$

2. Another shot and another Kenny is dead.
$P(H|E) = \frac{P(E|H)P(H)}{P(E)}=\frac{0.95*0.0018}{0.5}=0.00342$

Etc.

But what if the second shot was a miss? How to decrease our posterior probability, knowing this fact?
>>

Tangential speed at the equator is higher isn't it? >> File: potential.png (10 KB, 409x73) 10 KB PNG Please help me find my logic flaw here: Initially I solved this by realizing that the kinetic energy of the bullet is equal to the potential energy of the combined masses at their peak of displacement. Let [math] m_1$ be the mass of bullet and $m_2$ be the mass of the pendulum, let $v_1$ be the speed of the bullet before impact and lastly let $v_f$ denote the speed the pendulum moves at after impact.

So at it's peak, the potential energy is $(m_1+m_2)g(0.12m) = 2.36J$. So because energy is conserved, this potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy before impact $\frac{1}{2}(m_1)v_1^2 = 2.36J \rightarrow v_1 = 21.72m/s$.

But that's wrong and the right answer is ~308m/s. I know how to get the right answer, but don't see why my approach was wrong. The right answer employed the conservation of momentum:
$m_1v_1 = (m_1+m_2)v_2 \rightarrow v_1 = \frac{(m_1+m_2)v_2}{m_1}$

Where $v_2$ is solved in the K.E=P.E equation above and found to be $1.53$m/s. That approach also makes sense to me, but I still don't see why mine was wrong.

Math friendos i have a question:
Lets say you have a list of n items and someone has chosen one at random. If i am to make lists of items and ask them if their item is on the list (so a guessing game) is the fastest method to just do a list withhalf their items, then if their item is on it repeat, halfing the list every time, or is there some crazy cool optimised way of figuring this out with less lists.

Idk math but i guess the smallest solution is number of lists is .5n + .25n + .125n ..., element tends to 1. Idk whats the proper way to write that E(n->1) .5n + .25n + .125n.. that seems slightly off
>>
>>12363172
So in other words we have 'the right away':
$m_1v_1 = (m_1+m_2)v_2$
and
$K.E=P.E \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_2^2 = (m_1+m_2)g*0.12 \rightarrow v_2 = 1.53m/s$
plug v_2 into the first eqn and solve for v_1:
$v_1 = \frac{(m_1+m_2)v_2}{m_1} = 307.53$

Then my wrong way:
$K.E_{bullet} = P.E_{m_1+m_2} \\ \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1 = (m_1+m_2)9.8*0.12 \rightarrow = v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_1+m_2)9.8*0.12}{0.01}}$

This is incorrect. Energy is only conserved for an elastic collision. Any collision where the objects end up with the same velocity is inherently inelastic (the missing energy is accounted for by the deformation of the bullet). So you can't use conservation of energy here; you have to use conservation of momentum.

Definitely got a stupid question for you, /sci/.
I'm a cyclist. Normally I do strength training in a gym in the Fall/Winter in preparation for the following racing season, but gyms are all closed where I am so I can't do that.
I decided to do 'force' training on-bike as a substitute.
What I'd like to know, is how many pounds of force, on average, I'm delivering to the pedals.
I do 5 minute sets of 50-60rpm cadence at around 300 watts. I have a power meter (rear hub-based; PowerTap if you want to know), so I know it's about 300 watts, and I know the torque is more-or-less 10.5Nm on average. What I don't know how to calculate is how many pounds of force each leg is delivering to the *pedals*.
Basically I want to figure out what each leg, through each pedal stroke, would be 'lifting' if I was doing a weight-based exercise.
If you need more information I can probably provide it, but I think knowing cadence and torque at the rear wheel is enough -- but I may be wrong.
If no one wants to help that's fine, I'll be doing what I'm doing anyway, but it would be helpful to me to know what the equivalent would be in a weight-based leg exercise.
Thanks in advance if you decide to help.
>>
>>12363913
if your torque is 10.5Nm on average, you need to divide this by the length of your pedals (in meters) to the center of rotation to get your average force. then divide by two to get each leg's average force.
you can make it more accurate by approximating how much time you think you're pushing, but this should be a good order-of-magnitude

I'm always tired, have terrible memory and concentration, fall asleep while driving. Tried so many things and the only thing that helped years ago was Wellbutrin for a few months, it hasn't worked on subsequent attempts.

Psychiatrist seemed like she's running out of ideas just like a number of other doctors and psychs have in the past. Really nervous about the next appointment. As a kid I was diagnosed with OCD, PTSD, generalized anxiety and social anxiety. I don't know if major depression might actually be the case.

I'm really losing hope I'll ever feel normal like I did when Wellbutrin worked. I was so productive and was turning my life back around so fast. But no matter how much I go to the gym, get plenty of sleep, no matter how well I eat, I always feel so fucking terrible. I fucking loved my life when Wellbutrin worked, every problem I ever had went away, I had tons of energy and everything I ever struggled with like math became so easy I enjoyed it. Was even learning Japanese on the side. I feel so fucking hopeless.

Thats an interesting path of events. To put it blunty i think your psychiatrist may be hesitant to label you with major depression because its easy to latch on to a diagnosis and inevitably live a life as if depression is what you are. Anxiety and depression of course overlap, and theyre taught in a manner that unfortunately means theyre sometimes treated in the same way. To focus on the word treated for a second, thats where you shouls try and change your approach. We need to make sure you are trying to manage your diagnosis. Unfortunately i cant give you a management plan online, but youve certainly taken steps to try and manage it.

Its harder when youre on a typical day plan and diet like youve said, we often think they will make a large impact when we read about foods that increase gaba and whatnot and are dissappointed when they make no difference. In reality the claims of a lot of things are amplified beyond realistic expectations. So then what do we have to change? Simply saying our outlook doesnt help much. What do you think would needs to be adjusted?

Hmm, the result of that doesn't look right.
Since we're talking about a bicycle crankset, would the 'center of rotation' actually be the chainring and not the crank axle?
Also since the torque is being measured at the rear wheel hub and not at the cranks, would the gear ratio make a difference? Seems to me if I'm in 52:11 (most of it is) then I'd have to produce about 4.7 times more torque at the cranks, am I right?

I'm working through algebra by artin, but I'm a brainlet so I'm stuck on the third exercise.
How can $s(n) = n + 1$ have a right inverse since it's domain and range are {${1,2,3,..}$}
Also, 0 is not in the domain. For a left inverse, isn't it ${l}{s} = {Id}$. The $Id$ for {${1,2,3,..}$} doesn't exist.
Even with an Identity, you would still need negative integers, which are not in the domain or range.
Can anyone give me a hint in the right direction?
>>
>>12364696
The best hint I can give you is that you need to reread most of this chapter because you have absolutely no idea what you're saying and most of this is gibberish. When you start claiming that f(n) = n doesn't exist you need to stop and re-orient yourself, because you're lost.

Real hint:
s can't have a right inverse because it's not surjective. There's no way to make s(r(1)) = 1 valid.
There are infinitely many left inverses for the same reason. Since s will never output 1, the equation l(s(n)) = n puts no restriction on what l(1) has to be, so l(1) can be any natural you like.
>>
>>12364696
> How can s(n)=n+1 have a right inverse

> Even with an Identity, you would still need negative integers, which are not in the domain or range.

>doesn't disallow negative numbers
Oh.
>>12364751
>L(s(n)) = n
What I was trying to say was that that is impossible because the set does not contain negative numbers, but I just don't know what I'm talking about.
I was also thinking about Identity and inverses the wrong way.
$ls=Id$ where $Id$ is the identity for the set
After thinking about it for a few seconds, I see why I wasn't making any sense.
All I needed to do was reverse s(n), not try to satisfy the above equation.
If I think about $n$ as the $Id$ for $s$ it does satisfy the equation.

Thanks for the help.

A bullet of mass 0.0052kg is traveling at 672m/s when it goes through a block of wood of mass 0.7kg. When it emerges it's speed has been reduced to 428m/s.

I thought I'd solve this by finding the change in kinetic energy of the bullet during travel, 1/2m(v_i^2) - 1/2m(v_f^2), then assuming the kinetic energy that was missing from the bullet was transferred to the block of wood, so I'd solve for the woods new velocity, Delta K.E = 1/2mv^2

but the right way was to do mv initial for bullet = mv + mv_? for bullet after it's through the wood. Was my mistake assuming this was an elastic collision (like I did earlier)? It didn't initially strike me as inelastic, since it didn't mention 'friction' in the wood or anything.

For example, if a_n=1/n, then the limit is 1. If c>0 a_n= 1/(log_c(n)), then the limit is c, If a_n=1/(log n )^{1/2}, then the limit is infinity.

Someone was hueing too hard in my IP range, so I can't make a thread for this:

So if the universe expansion is not actually an expansion, but a change in this universal metric that dictates space, would it be sensible to abstract the universe as this magical snow globe full of matter that is slowly shrinking (the matter, not the snow globe)?

So if we regress in time, would that mean that prior to the Big Bang, every single particle and whatever there is out there was as big as the snow globe, but squished beyond imagination?

And if the universal metric is what causes the expansion, we can assume that space anywhere is expanding, so is that expansion taken in account when calculating atomic interactions? As, let's say that all the forces holding a proton and a neutron together can be summed up to be a certain theoretical xN. Do we have a constant eN between those two particles expanding the space, which would cause us to instead of measuring the xN attraction, to measure xN-eN?

Stupid question in regards to material science.

Let's say you have two aluminum rods, one is 2cm in diameter and the other 4cm diameter. You put them under identical stress conditions and identical atmospheric conditions. Would the 4cm rod last twice as long as the 2cm rod before it breaks due to corrosion and creep, or am i missing something?

wtf?

To whom it may concern:
I've recently switched 4G providers on my phone. Unfortunately, it turns out my new 4G's IP is range banned from making threads. Adding to this, my wi-fi has also been range banned for a good while now.
Someone take over making the threads, would you?

Engineering typically uses j for the imaginary unit rather than i.

Australia? Might try appeal though it seems the power that be takes a dim view on Australia and /sci/.

Nope.

Appealing a rangeban? You mean through feedback or by whining on IRC?
Pretty sure that doesn't do anything.

How to find out if I have DID? Shouldn't the fact that I think it's a possibility make it so that it's certain I don't have it?

How would I test this for convergence?

alternating series criteria

>>12370721
see if it is squeezed between two convergent series (squeeze theorem)

It takes thirty seconds to make a new thread, come on lads, we're already at page 9.

Those of you who've worked in multiple countries, which ones have the best support for their scientists?
Which country is the holy grail for doing science?

I'll start
>Australia
>decent support while studying but shitty career prospects
>almost all science jobs are in the most expensive cities and even with a PhD they're not paying as well as some entry-level programmer with no work experience
>populace in general are pretty anti-intellectual so it's not well-regarded either
