>>12943924I have so much trouble studying analysis, I just don't like it. I feel like not studying it is holding me back, though.
https://www.strawpoll.me/42913565
Midwest topology seminars tonight lads, who's gonna tune in?
>>12943938I didn't like it either. But I got through it. If an idiot like me can do it, then so can you!>>12943950Too late for me, so nope.
>>12943924>You are valid.What does this mean?
>>12943963The algebraist is just teasing you
>>12943959Yeah well I already made it through 2 courses in it, it's just I neglected it for so long now I have to review it for some other stuff and I'm so not motivated.
>>12943963I honestly don't know, but I was told I'm valid. Sounds nice, probably means nothing.>>12943977Do you have many courses left? Is it measure theory stuff or something like that?
>>12944060No courses left, just as I study further in any area it seems the need for analysis somehow creeps in, annoying thing.
>>12943931Is this news to anyone?
>>12944065Are you doing some manifold stuff? I've managed to completely avoid analysis since 2018 by sticking to CW-spaces.
I need the absolute best summary of real analysis that exists. Something super simple and short.
>>12944118I'd be surprised if you didn't encounter analysis stuff even with that. You'll definitely have differentiable manifolds. It seems to me that a lot of research/new stuff is done by connecting various areas and using techniques from other areas of mathematics. So knowing a little bit about other fields helps in a lot of cases.
>>12944151Newton and leibniz and most of the bros you know created calculus with infinitesimals. Those were really hard to axiomatize without fucking up the real numbers' structure. So instead we have the idea of the limit, with the e-d definition due to cauchy. The goal of real analysis is to show that all the nice theorems you get from infinitesimals are valid in limits, and then to create new theorems.
>>12944151>reals>that existtop jej
>>12944162Infinitesimals are fine. What was problematic is power series, whose careless manipulation could result in absurdities. "Epsilon-delta" methods were conceived to settle questions such as "are limits of continuous functions continuous", not to "validate" the (obvious and intuitive) results of infinitesimal calculus. Please do not opine on the history of mathematics if your knowledge is at the "anti-infinitesimalist propaganda" level.
>>12944188justice for cavalieri
>>12944162Thanks. Do you have any good sources for this subject to study from? I have an intense course which is a infi/real analysis hybrid.
>>12944151Asking questions about basic real analysis textbooks should be banned. There’s at least one every single thread. The answer is always Rudin.
>>12944182No one cares what you think, so you may as well not exist either.
>>12944151I'll give you one: "nigga I wanna move the "lim" symbol around the "integral" symbol. Pls help me justify that."
>>12944151Lang
>>12944160The attachments prevent them from being manifolds in general. Just think about the wedge of two spheres and consider the common point they have. >So knowing a little bit about other fields helps in a lot of cases.This is definitely true.>It seems to me that a lot of research/new stuff is done by connecting various areas and using techniques from other areas of mathematicsThis is most likely true. A lot is also about constructing examples or trying to generalise already known results.
>>12942841I don't know why you bring time into it, but essentially this seems correct. N is a set by Infinity (axiom) and one in which membership is decidable. So the classX := {5,8,9, 6887}is a subset of N by Separation (axiom) too, and thus a set (as opposed to a proper class).The classS := {x | (x=8 or x=6887) and ((x is prime) or (x is not prime))}is a subset of X by Separation again, and thus also a set.Classically S equals {8, 6887} by LEM (axiom), i.e. S={8, 6887}Constructively, it also equals {8, 6887}! But the proof of that needs more work: You need to find out whether 6887 is prime or not prime while proving S={8, 6887}.Moving on, to elaborate: For any predicate, the class {x in X| P(x)} is a set by Separation.So the power of the singleton set X={7} is as rich as the truth values of your theory. Apriori, this classΩ={s | s is a subset of {7}}is proper. If you adopt the Powerset axiom (all powerclasses are sets), then Ω also a set.If you adopt LEM, then by this act Ω comes to be in bijection with the function space {7}->{true, false}, which is in bijection with just {true, false}. You may adopt the axiom that all function spaces X->Y are sets whenever X and Y are. This is weaker than the Powerset axiom and is often done, because it's natural from a type construction perspective (see e.g. typed lambda calculus). But that just essentially means that all subsets given rise to by decidable predicates are sets.>>12943449>The classifier was extremely approachable in this case. Nice one.There's a book fleshing out the sheave topoi for four (iirc) such discrete structures in detailhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/333579691_Generic_figures_and_their_glueings_A_constructive_approach_to_functor_categoriesGood to get a graphical/finite intuition for some of the objects involved>>12943345Accepting LEM just kills off meaningful interpretations, that's why I think it's inevitable to have a logic around that doesn't adopt it.
>>12944270PS of course you may cite the simple algorithm that takes a number and by brute force listing eventually returns all its prime factors. This algo thus proves that particular "is prime or is not prime" instance of LEM, so if your logic calculus is not machinized, it's not practically more work to proveS := {x | (x=8 or x=6887) and ((x is prime) or (x is not prime))}is a finite set, in this case, at all. Depending on your logic calculus, you don't actually have to factor 6887 but simply provide the factoring algo proving that it has or hasn't factors. Point is you can't simply cite LEM, you need to cite a reason for why that EM-disjunction happens to be true for these numbers.
>>12944216I dont want to read a long ass book just for a 3 month course
>>12944213Most real analysis books are not bad. I like pugh's book. You can read rudin if you like but he's 100% focused on doing things the most efficient way regardless of clarity
Looking at the set,S={x in {7} | Continuum hypothesis is true}we have at least two options: S={} and thus of size 0orS={7} and thus of size 1.and either way, S is of finite size.Classically, those are the only options and we know S is finite without even knowing about the Continuum hypothesis.Basically, this makes use of the classical"If either P or it's negation leads to Q, then Q is true"[math] \big((P\implies Q) \lor ( \neg P \implies Q)\big) \implies Q [/math]which enables us to establish Q on the right hand side, via a proposition on the left hand side that involves P only syntatically, without us having to be interested in the truth of P.
is there a study on functions whose limits at positive and negative inf are equal?at a glance I think they form a ring
>>12944270Thanks! I downloaded that and will take a look at it this weekend or something.
>>12944360Sounds like you could broaden. Given a fixed subset [math]S\subset X[/math] and an commutative ring [math]R[/math], the functions [math]f\colon X\to R[/math] with [math]\forall (s,t \in S).\, f(s)=f(t)[/math] will form a ring that respects this relation.Don't cite me but on first look that makes sense to me.
>>12944400Thinking more, we might think of the restrictions [math]f|_{S}[/math] as constants in [math]R[/math]
>>12944360these are functions on the circle
>>12944400True. Take all the functions [math]X \to R[/math]. Then this set inherits a ring structure from [math]R[/math], and it will be unital whenever [math]R[/math] is ([math](f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x), (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)[/math] with operations performed in the ring [math]R[/math]).>>12944412Those will give a subring of the function ring [math]A = \text{Hom}(X, R)[/math]. If [math]f, g\in A[/math] are constant functions when restricted to [math]S[/math], then [math](f+g)(s) = (f+g)(t), (fg)(s) = (fg)(t)[/math] for all [math]s, y\in S[/math], and this constant condition is obviously satisfied by the function [math]x \mapsto 1[/math].
>>12944400so im assuming X here includes the point at infinity>>12944428as in real projective line?
how do you disprove that math majors are virgins?
>>12944453>as in real projective line?or rather subsets of it
>>12944457have sex with all of them
>>12944453real projective line is a circle
>>12944515so if we extend the codomain to C, and replacing +-inf with |z| -> inf, will this result in functions on the torus?
>>12943931>>12943931Is this new? Von Neumann literally blasted Nazi tunes to trigger his Jewish colleagues. Mathematicians were cunts.
Are there any hollow shapes which are manifolds without corners?Like, why isn't the hollow cylinder one?
>>12944778further to this, are there two intersecting closed loops on the torus to 'represent' where the real part of z is finite, but imaginary is not and vice versa
>>12945089>Like, why isn't the hollow cylinder one?Why do you think it isn't one?
>>12945100Oh I'm dumb, I was thinking of "with" instead of "without" Yeah nevermind
>>12944796not racis, jus don't like em
>>12945100Does the following make sense?Each section of a hollow cylinder is locally diffeomorphic to either a rectangle or circle, but not both. Hence it is not a manifold with corners.
the only person with a phd in math that i know personally is a highschool math teacher that clearly doesn't like his job
>>12945140whats your point
>>12945140100% of maths PhDs hate their jobs CONFIRMED!
>>12945132What is this hollow cylinder? I \times S^1 where I = R? (0, 1)? [0, 1]? In the first two cases, it is a manifold without boundaries. In the third case, it is a manifold with boundary and no corners. If by hollow cylinder you mean [0, 1] \times S^1 along with the "caps" at 0 and 1, then I think that would be a manifold with corners
>>12945140I don't blame him, 95% of high-school students are passionless mongoloids who will be a forever slave to the intoxicating cycle of consumerist reward
These are the exercises I'm trying to work through
>>12945166>then I think that would be a manifold with cornersActually, thinking again, it probably wouldn't
>>12945166>>12945180It is not really made clear
>>12945155Most aren't lucky, I wouldn't want to teach 'college algebra' at some community college. I couldn't get into a good PhD program, so it is not likely I'd get a job I like with it. I'm just too dumb to be hired for actual research.
>just failed another algebra testI feel worthless. Not only my life is utter shit but I can't even get decent grades. I just want to go to bed one night and never wake up.
>>12945180>>12945184These questions are quite unambiguous imo. I'm too lazy to give detailed answers right now though.
>>12945180Anyway, the cylinder in the 20.3 can be described as the region in R^3 given by x^2 + y^2 = 1 and 0 <= z <= 1, whereas the cylinder in 20.4 is x^2 + y^2 <= 1 and 0 <= z <= 1. Go over the definition of manifolds with corners again and see why they may or may not fit that definition.
>>12945208Thanks anyways for the help. I'll try grind out the definition again
Algebraic category theory when?
>>12945440Now? Have you read a book on category theory?
>>12945440category theory IS algebra. category theory = theory of partial monoids.
>>12945201Yeah well I don't know about the job markets, especially in the US.
>>12945504Not all partial monoids are categories.>>12945440Look up the category of algebras of a monad, algebraic categories, Lawvere theories, algebras of an operad, or varieties of algebras. All category theory and algebra together.
>>12945201I feel similarly, math is a trap that I wish I didn't fall into.In my first year of college I took an intro programming class and was super interested in it. I wish I had turned that into my thing. But the moment I learned about cardinalities and the proof of the uncountability of the reals I was fucked. I couldn't not dig deeper, and CS felt so lame in comparison.Now I'm just NEET, counting down my days, so I have nothing better to do than just learn more mathematics.
I'm going to finish my math degree next year and I can't decide which of the following topics to address in my bachelor thesis:-Functional Analysis-Analytical Number Theory-Algebraic Number TheoryI'd appreciate it if you could offer your opinions and recommend me some books for each of those topics.
>>12943963This. It means nothing and just makes you sound like a tranny.
>>12945914The algebraist is a tranny so I guess she was parodying that useless phrase.
>>12945818Any bachelor thesis is just going to be a routine, unoriginal examination of some topic for which 1000s of introductory expositions already exist.Undergrads aren't expected to produce anything novel on their own, so pretty much the only requirement is that you don't literally copy and paste someone else's work. You don't even need to know mathematics to write these kinds of things.Don't over think it. Just pick any topic that is interesting enough for you to voluntarily read about.
>>12945818Can you explain your preferences and what led to this shortlist of topics? I could offer an answer right now and just say "None of them, write your thesis in Algebraic Geometry instead" but that wouldn't be a good answer. Are you looking to specialize into one of these area with a view to a PhD? Are they just interesting to you?
>>12945993I was also considering writing about Commutative or Non-commutative algebra, but I found those 3 topics to be far more interesting.
Holy fucking shit, Experimental Physics is utter trash, this shit's so boring. Why would a mathematician need to learn this shit?
>>12946119What do you find attractive about Algebraic number theory?
>>12946119Pick a topic related to constructivism and dab on the cl*ssicalists
Where can I learn more about complex fourier series?
>>12946144Wild does not believe in constructivism. Actual constructivists know that given a natural number n, there exists a natural number n, because they know how to construct it. Wildberger says that they are WRONG. His opinion is that there exist numbers so large that you can no longer add to them (you may torture him savagely, but he will never tell you what these numbers are).
British anons answer pls. In linear / convex optimization, do Brits call it a "linear program" or a "linear programme"? Google gives conflicting results.
>>12946265Yeah I know, but they at least share similar objections to classical mathematics.
>>12946265>>12946355He rejects provability of some common math statements, but not because of lack of axioms in ones framework, but because of the rejection of formalism itself.His "at one point, well-typed arithmetic expressions stop being numbers" is not something you'd usually encounter in the academic field of constructivism. I tried to engage with him at one point and figure out where the edge is between a formal logic and his ideas, but his "physicalism" is not very appealing to me to consider it further. There will be some well defined fast growing functions (let's say [math]f(n):=n^{n^n}[/math] or wilder) such that you can inspect the properties of [math]n[/math] but not those of the number [math]f(n)[/math], but keeping the bound up in the air ruins the universal quantifier [math]\forall n[/math]. If we don't do Euclidean geometry, I can't tell what the Burger would consider true or not provable anymore, especially if we compare numbers [math]n[/math] and non-numbers [math]f(n)[/math] in one expression.
>>12946485>tried to engage with him at one point and figure out where the edge is between a formal logic and his ideasIt seems pretty clear to me. Formal logic is about dispensing with semantics and only caring about syntactic manipulations, while Wildberger cares about what we actually mean by the things we talk about.>His "at one point, well-typed arithmetic expressions stop being numbers" Did he state such a view? I could not find it in the image he posted. He remarked that by the same term "numbers" we could have in mind different things that behave very differently computationally. I.e. we could have strokes on a blackboard, or allow more general abstract expressions with exponentiations. But as our notion of a number changes, so do the things we can do with them. While we can easily compare strokes on a blackboard, it may not be possible when we're talking about more general expressions.>but keeping the bound up in the air ruins the universal quantifier ∀n.Can you explain what you mean by this?>If we don't do Euclidean geometry, I can't tell what the Burger would consider true or not provable anymoreIt seems pretty clear to me. Something is true provided the terms used are clearly, and then the thing that is asserted is true if it correctly describes the (possible) reality.
>>12946556>Can you explain what you mean by this?There's numbers n which can be physically represented, but n^n is too big to be a number in that sense.Is this statement true?:>for all k, if k>2, then k^k > kIt's a logical tautology by form, but the comparison > becomes infeasible at one point, when k^k "is not a number"
>>12946598>There's numbers n which can be physically represented, but n^n is too big to be a number in that sense.This seems to be true, given that your choice of physical representation is wasteful for this purpose. But then you can look at n symbolically.>Is this statement true?:>>for all k, if k>2, then k^k > kYes, it's true. If you take any natural number k, succeed in raising it to k'th power and in comparing it to k, you will find that k^k is bigger.
Can anyone learn mathematics? I mean, can a sub-100 IQ person learn real maths? When I say real maths I don't mean stuff like calculus or analysis or basic abstract algebra. I mean stuff like in those posts >>12944270 >>12944448If it's impossible just be honest so I can move on quickly.
>>12946647>Yes, it's true. If you take any natural number k, succeed in raising it to k'th powerThe issue is that "IF you succeed in raising it to k'th power" is not formalized in the language.That leads to a lot of implicit if-statements that need to hold to even make the formally Boolean statement that follows decidablePropositions>forall k. P(k)implicitly become>for all k (if everything expressed in the P that follows can be computed) then P(k)And to say it's true does not anymore mean that there's infinitely many k for which P(k)
>>12946742>Yes>No>Maybe
>>12946742There's nothing scary about those posts, you're just not familiar with the vocabulary. If you say a sentence to your mother than includes the words "weeb" and "doxxing", then she'll not know what you talk about. If I say a sentence involving "Separation axiom", you don't know what it means in the same sense. It's not hard, you just don't know the word. Something like "Hom(X, R)" looks scary but it's clear once you got context.So I'd answer with yes.
>>12946742This is stuff an undergrad math major could easily read anon.
>never took multivariate calc in undergrad>Researcher in elliptic pdes>Any time div grad curl stokes and forms enter the discussion my eyes glaze overNot really sure how I made it lads
>>12947022Category theory isn't taught in undergrad courses.
>>12947028I'm in a similar situation dude, I'm almost giving up.
>>12946742That post with the diagram and [math]\Omega[/math] may be a bit more difficult to understand, but in my post one only needs to know what functions and rings are. The Hom-thingy is just the set (inb4: what is a set? The Egyptian god, of course!) of functions from the set [math]X[/math] to a ring (also thought of as a set). I can do it, and I'm like max 95 IQ, so you can do it too.>>12947028I can understand somehow just ending up as a researcher without knowing precisely what to do, but how on earth did you manage to skip multivariate calculus?!
>>12947028>Researcher in elliptic pdesI took a grad class in Finite Element Methods and I wanted to kill myself with boredom. I don't get what it is about PDEs but I fuck hating that shit.
If a computable subtree of the tree of finite binary sequences has uncountably many paths, must the halting problem be computable from one of its paths?
>>12945818Functional Analysis has the broadest reach, in particular if you are interested in non-mathematical applications. OTOH it might seriously kick your ass. It is the most notorious course at my uni.
>>12947256>max 95 IQMissing a "1" there. I think you meant 195IQ.
I bought those drawing tablets (without screen) so that I can write longer equations on my computer without having to look up and down repeatedly and just read off pdf easier. Did I go full retard?
>>12947352Nope. I wish you were correct instead of just being nice. I'm on a 3 week long failure streak. Whatever I try to construct, it is a total failure. I have roughly 10 hours to come up with something before I need to present nothing in my weekly meeting. That doesn't sound like 195 IQ to me. Someone else could be here instead of me, actually being able to get stuff done and not being a total disgrace.
>>12947387How did you let things come to this? Was it because of procrastination or you not being able to come up with anything despite trying?
>>12947387I think rather than beating yourself up, you should take a deep breath and calm down. Either that or take a break, it'll probably help you more than whatever you do now, anon. Here's where I would post a cute 2hu encouraging you but I don't want to be confused for someone else.
>>12947270>I don't get what it is about PDEs but I fuck hating that shit.It's because the field is motivated towards being actually useful, as opposed to being a beautiful and fantastical game. Go figure.But kudos to anyone who actually really likes PDEs, especially people who like numerical methods for PDEs.
>>12947420Lmao rent-free cope seethe cuck.
>>12944304Rudin is for two semesters, read the first half to cover the material of a 3 month course. It’s also literally the most efficient presentation so stop complaining about the length gay boy and start studying. >>12945797 >>12945201You can always go into industry after a PhD at a lower tier program. Just make sure to know basic statistics and programming.
>>12947454Don't say those words anon, I'll pull your cheeks.
>>12947028How the fuck did you read Evans without knowing this stuff lol. IIRC like 25% of the book is tedious calculus.
>>12947435No, I'm actually an applied mathematician and I actually do care a lot about real world applications.I just hate working with PDEs. Just super tedious work and I don't find anything interesting in it. FEM was supposed to be interesting but even that I found exceedingly tedious. And then, on top of that it is one of the least prestigious fields. And even worse, it does not even pay well. I actually took FEMs cause at first I thought I might find a cool job writing FEM software. Turns out the pay is shit. That really made me hate the rest of the course.
>>12947455>You can always go into industry after a PhDI literally can't. No one would hire me when they could hire an engineer or a statistician. Besides, there aren't many jobs in the industry for a PhD in mathematics anyway.
>>12947410I haven't actually even been procrastinating. Sure, I did post all night last night, but at the same time I was processing different ways to get stuff done. It's probably just a mixture of being unable to sleep, dumb worries and Weltschmerz in general making me incapable of pretty much anything.>>12947420Thanks for your kind words. It just feels so stupid to be unable to construct something as easy as a chain complex satisfying some very easy properties.But actually now that I was a stupid crybaby bitch... I think I may have it. Sorry for a moment of weakness. It will happen again, but hopefully not too soon. I think I'll start doing spamming /s4s/ whenever hopelessness hits.>>12947455>You can always go into industry after a PhD at a lower tier program. Just make sure to know basic statistics and programming.What if you haven't studied statistics after HS and are too dumb for programming?
10 days to learn the first three chapters of Do Carmo's Differential Geometry. Can it be done?
>>12947256This was my chain of course selections in undergrad. I placed out of calc I and II. | means concurrent enrollmentLinear Algebra|ODEs>Topology|Abstract Algebra>Real Analysis|Combinatorics|Numerical Analysis>Abstract II | Real II (professor had a heart attack 2 weeks into the term, and it was a reading course....) > PDEs | Differential Geometry The requirement to graduate was one of ODEs and Multivariable and I just kinda never got around to taking them both...
>>12947474Are we going to be in the same class? Are you doing Differential Geometry next semester?Yes it can be done. But of course the problems are the important part that would take longer.
>>12947473Sleep well, take supplements, go outside for walks every day to get sunlight.Many people have no idea how much doing these things improves everything.
>>12947483I'm doing it right now. Actually, I meant the first 2 chapters.
>>12947455>go into industry after a PhDwhat a total meme, there are very few jobs for mathematicians in industry, it used to be like that but these days, everything has a tailored piece of software already written for it, so they need less of usrealistically the only real option outside of academia is:1. corporate finance&management, it's not math and they train you further but they recruit a lot of us2. programmerI know of some people who got hired doing actual math, usually some kind of modeling or simulation work, but these jobs are relatively rare.
>>12947482Did your real analysis stuff even cover measure theory? I can see why you would skip multivariate stuff after having so much analysis already, but I still think it's a bit funny to not have it as compulsory. What is a reading course btw? Do you just get assigned some book to read and then get questioned somehow?>>12947486Sleep well is something I've been trying. Supplements are taken other than iron which I haven't been able to find anywhere (and now I'm pale enough to scare kids when I go outside), walks have been skipped lately because I've just wanted to hide from the cruel world under the blanket. I'll go after I'm done with my meeting, though. Snow after Easter is nice, but also an unexpected thing. Do you have snow over there?
>>12947510Where are you from?
Only just now am I finding out that "one to one" is not the same as "one to one correspondence".Who is responsible for this?
>>12947534Germany.
>>12947536In all likelihood, the french.
>>12947384I had this genuine "dinosaur" moment a few years ago. At a family gathering a little while ago a cousin of mine was working on her homework for some freshman physics course and she was using a fucking tablet and stylus for all her notes and problem solving.She wanted some help with a problem, so I attempted to write some stuff using the tablet and I just couldn't write anything legible.What's wrong with good old pen and paper. Paper is awesome. Man it felt weird seeing the next generation not using paper.But at the same time, I'm sure there's an advantage to going full digital. So good for you I guess.
>>12947536This is why people should just use "injective", "surjective" and "bijective" instead of "one to one", "onto" and "one to one correspondence". A lot less confusing, I think. Especially if you think about the names. INjective because the domain fits INside the codomain, then surjective functions have the domain cast an all-encompassing shadow on the codomain, and bijectives go in two ways. I remember wondering onto a lot. At first I thought it was injection because you can just put a thing on a table without covering the whole table (for example a pen or a glass).>>12947550Actually, probably not. The "sur" in "surjective" would fit French quite well.
>>12947540Liar. You're probably from South America. There are plenty of industry jobs for mathematicians in Europe.
>>12947536What's the difference?
>>12945180What book is this?
>>12947557I literally just had this conversation with my mentor this afternoon.He made it clear the jobs are rare.If you know better please enlighten me.I need a fucking job.
>>12947568You literally can't stay jobless in Germany dude, just tell the government that you need something and they'll give it to you. Try living in my shithole and you'll understand what jobless really means.
>>12947384I have one of these and I love it. I use it to teach and take notes. I turn it sideways so it's portrait size. like a sheet of paper, the tablet software allows you to do that. This keeps my wrist from falling off the edge, which is really annoying when writing in landscape. It was $50 on Amazon.I use Xournal++ for the note-taking and annotating pdfs. It's free and awesome. The combination makes Smart Boards seem terribly clunky.
>>12947580I didn't say I was going to be jobless. I said positions in industry where you are tasked with doing anything remotely related to math are relatively rare.You can very easily get a programming job.
>>12947524The department was too small to have a regular second course in analysis, so we would do reading courses. Prof would give you a book, problem sets, and took responsibility for helping you with whatever problems you had getting the material. That second course in real analysis was meant to be the last half of baby rudin+the first few chapters of papa, but it all fell apart due to the prof's heart attack.
>>12947587>positions in industry where you are tasked with doing anything remotely related to mathOh, so you want to be a reseacher in the industry? What in the actual fuck haha
>>12947156It isn't taught directly as a course where I was, I had several courses that used it heavily like algebraic topology and I only have an undergraduate degree. I had to print out notes on it and go to lots of office hours to learn it. Universal properties for example came up in lots of my algebra courses as well.
>>12947595no, not a researcher, that is even rarer, my ideal position would be modeling and simulation, where you need advanced math+physics (or other domain knowledge) to guide the development of special simulation software
>>12947611You should have pursued engineering then instead of mathematics, fool.
>>12947455>You can always go into industry after a PhD at a lower tier program. Just make sure to know basic statistics and programming.My point was there is literally no reason to get a PhD if I can't get into a good school. I'll probably be as well off outside of mathematics with just my current degree. The only math related job I could get would work you to death teaching and demoralize you with the student types they get at community colleges (not actually interested in the mathematics).If I plan on getting a job like you suggest I'd prepare for that directly.
>>12947471>>12947473>>12947510You can absolutely get a job in data science / ML with a math PhD. You need to know stats and basic programming but these should be easy unless you’re a complete moron. There are a ton of jobs in tech / finance that make use of this background.
>>12947551I'm old. But I've switched to digital over the past year, and it's great. You can erase easily, write on pdfs, move chunks around, copy lines around, etc. When you look up a formula or other info on line, you can just screen shot it and paste it in. Add hyperlinks, figures, graphs, etc.I've switched my kids over too. My eldest does her Algebra homework using Kami to annotate assignments of pdfs. It's the future.
>bwaaaaah im not getting accepted to do my phd at harvard then i wont do a phd at all bwaaaaahRetards, I would glad being accepted to do a PhD even if it was at Zimbabwe University.
>>12947556>Actually, probably not. The "sur" in "surjective" would fit French quite well.Yes, this is due to Bourbaki.
>>12947632>basic programmingWhat is basic programming? I know how to conditionals in Python, how advanced am I?
>>12947640>BourbakiNot a person.
>>12947637Less funding, don't get grants, go into debt, learn less because the professors are overworked and have no time for you. No chance of a postdoc afterwards. Sounds like a brilliant life plan.
>>12947626yeah I know, I realized too late, but also undergrad engineering was too boring for me
>>12947646Well I don't keep track of the exact authors of the books, it appeared in a "Bourbaki Book" there are you happy? Everyone knows Bourbaki isn't a person. This is just how people talk about it because it came from a book by the Bourbaki group.
I fucking hate Europe.
>>12947646>>12947659Is there a good term to describe this type of exchange?"Bourbaki isn't a person, didn't you know that?!?!""Yes, we know""Then why do you cite 'Bourbaki'?""Because everyone understands that citing 'Bourbaki' means you are citing a publication due to the group"Wrongly inferring that a recently corrected misconception of your own is also a misconception that everyone else has, only to then realize that you're a whole level behind everyone else.
>>12947698LMAO, you're butthurted.
>>12947703
>>12947698It's only here anyone has ever objected to me using Bourbaki the way I did. It first appears in Théorie des ensembles, Éléments de mathématique Première Partie, Livre I, Chapitres I, II (1954).R.O. Gandy reviewed it and wrote (and I'm sure he knows Bourbaki isn't a person):Another useful function of Bourbaki’s treatise has been to standardise notation and terminology… Standard terms are badly needed for “one-to-one,” “onto” and “one-to-one onto”; will Bourbaki’s “injection,” “surjection” and “bijection” prove acceptable?
>>12947591I see. That probably saves some money for the department. I haven't read either of the Rudins, sorry, but I take that as a "no". Did the prof survive? Heart problems aren't fun.>>12947632So you think programming is a must?>>12947640Bourbaki was a cool guy. He killed intuition and didn't afraid of anything.>>12947661Why? Why won't you join me on my trip to Wallachia after kung flu is over? Let's go see Dracula's castle and stuff. And then continue from there to Čachtice. You, me, warm summer days. Then we can go have a picnic on the puszta. Wouldn't that sound nice?
>>12947716Get fucked frog motherfucker, next time don't mention Bourbaki without knowing what it actually is.
>>12947722To be clearer surjective in particular and the set of terms is what is introduced. I think injection had been used previous to this.
I just found this guy randomly on youtube. His videos are pretty comfy.https://youtu.be/Pkfu_hecrA8
>>12947726>Why?Because I'll never be able to live there. I wasted all my chance to have a successful academic career in mathematics. Now I'm doomed to live in this third world shithole called Brazil forever. I bet you look down on me, european.
Would I be accepted to a top PhD program if I changed my name to Nicolas Bourbaki?
>>12947741Why not just move?
>>12947755People can't just move into other countries like that. Europe only accepts qualified people that stand out.
>>12947759Then stand out? Start publishing research and see if it's of anyone's interest. Apply for positions in Europe, North America, etc.
>>12947741Funny you say that cause all the Brazilians I know are mathematicians who came here through school.But they are all pretty talented.But actually you can get a code monkey job and if you prove yourself good enough you can get a job here that way. Lots of Latinos are doing it now.
>>12947738Comfy indeed. Thanks!>>12947741I am literally in no position to look down on anyone, buddy. I knew you would not accept my invitation, but if you did I would have gone to Romania with you. How did you waste your chances? Are you that netorare addict?>>12947764>Start publishing researchHow does one actually do this?
>>12947783Are you in undergrad? Talk to your professor and you can do whatever you want. Even I've done research and I'm also in undergrad.
>>12947783>How does one actually do this?You literally just submit your paper to a journal. You can only submit the paper to one journal at a time and it can take months to hear back, though.
>>12947722The Chad combination is to use one-to-one, onto, and bijective
>>12947783>Are you that netorare addict?I can't believe someone remembers that. Is it the thread of fate connecting us? >How did you waste your chances?I think I'm pretty much finished, too much procrastination, but I don't mind these days. My only objective in life now is to be able to read Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard before dying and becoming a better person.
>>12947795Nope. Second year postgrad.>>12947796That sounds awfully stressful. Then it gets rejected and all those months of waiting lead only to disappointment.>>12947805Non-surjective one to one correspondence, surjection, set isomorphism.
>>12947816Seriously, just apply mate. Try to get an internship in the US or Europe and you can work things out from there. Talk to your peers about publishing. Surely you've written some decent papers by now?
>>12947816>Second year postgradYou haven't worked on research yet? You should be getting your name onto some papers soon, shouldn't you?
>>12947815>I can't believe someone remembers that. Is it the thread of fate connecting us?Sorry, I remember weird things and forget important ones. Imagine having trouble connecting names to actions or faces but remembering that detail.>I think I'm pretty much finished, too much procrastination, but I don't mind these days. My only objective in life now is to be able to read Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard Are you then also the one who was never to come back?>before dying and becoming a better person.Is this like "reading those before dying. oh and becoming a better person", or do you intend to die in order to become better?>>12947830Apply where? I already have a position. I haven't written any papers. I have a few continuation results for stuff my supervisor did, but that will not take me too far.>>12947836I've been doing research for almost 2 years now.
>>12947842>I've been doing research for almost 2 years now.And you haven't published anything? How old are you?
>>12947842>Are you then also the one who was never to come back?Yeah. I feel so ashamed now. I failed everyone, I couldn't leave...>Is this likeThe former.
>>12947842>I've been doing research for almost 2 years now.Well then you shouldn't be asking people here for advice on publishing. I'm sure your advisor/supervisor can help best.
>>12947556>Actually, probably not. The "sur" in "surjective" would fit French quite well.I've studied at a french and at an english uni, french use surjective etc, english used onto. That transition to english sucked lol
What happens to "researchers" who make minimal contributions to group collaborations just to get their name on the paper?Collaboration in general seems like a difficult societal problem since its almost a guarantee that the "credit" (be it pay or recognition) for a collaborative work won't be distributed fairly in proportion to how much work each contributor did (either one person steals the show, or bums get more credit than they deserve, etc).I'm just wondering to what extent this problem is actually tackled in the real world of math research. If a person for example collaborated with a colleague, but was of basically no help (did almost no work), what happens next? Do they just never get asked to collaborate again? What if they make use of their name on the publication to find new collaboration opportunities, do nothing, and just continue the cycle? How do they get exposed?
>>12947892>What happens to "researchers" who make minimal contributions to group collaborations just to get their name on the paper?They get praised as generational geniuses and win fields medals. See Terence Tao.
>>1294785428>>12947855Don't worry, anon. We can be the token failures together. I'll come to visit you and we'll go to the pampas for a picnic, and then an Eastern Europe tour.>>12947864He's pushing out a paper every two months. It's too much of a routine for him to actually remember how it works in the beginning. Besides he hasn't mentioned me publishing anything for over a year now. He's probably lost hope already.>>12947872Yeah, the English translations suck more than the "what is a set" anon's mom for living.
Commutative diagrams look so fucking cool.
>>12947901>He's pushing out a paper every two months.And you've never gotten on as a co-author? You need to be more proactive. Go in there, say you've not had your name on a paper yet and you need to start publishing things. Or look for a new advisor! I'm scared to ask about your thesis.
>>12947896Haha very funny.But clearly Tao has enough repeat collaborations with other researchers to prove he's not just leeching. And he has solo publications.
>>12947901>We can be the token failures together.I guess so...Until you actually succeed and leave me behind, then I'll be all alone again.
>>12947903Yes, especially if done by hand. Then you can make nice arrows and use colours and stuff to describe the properties, for example green or squiggly arrows are injective etc.>>12947915He has a million projects going on. None of them is related to me, so there is no point for me to even suggest anything like that. I have 16 months or something left of my funding. Maybe I'll get a thesis done by then, maybe not. I haven't paid anything, so there isn't anything to lose.>>12947933No. That will not happen. I may get a fancy hat and a piece of paper, but that's a good point to retire.
>>12947726Yeah, he lived, only because it happened while he was running in the college gym.
>>12947954You're really just going to let your funding run out? Why aren't you doing everything you can? Can't you meet with him? Just keep talking and try to explain your issues. Can you really not find a different advisor?
>>12947954>but that's a good point to retire.Great. I mean, Academia isn't even that good when you think about it. It's nothing compared to living your life together with your failurebro in the european countryside.
Today I learned hilbert's basis theorem. Later I will prove that artinian rings are exactly noetherian and krill dimension 0.How long must I play this game until I am no longer a shitter lads
>>12947999Krull dimension.>mobile posting
>>12947959Unlucky in a lucky way. Was he old or fat or something when that happened?>>12947972I am doing the best I can. My best isn't much, though. Besides, I'm not even after an academic career. I'm just a hobbyist trying to see how far I can get. My advisor is nice. I don't want another.>>12947973How about the area around the French and Belgian border? Let's get a farm there and a nice car and drive around the countryside. Maybe a few cows. Or combine Europe with South America and turn it into a capybara farms.>>12947999Do you know how the spectrum of a ring works yet? Can you localise? Can you apply Nakayama?
>>12948012What do you plan on doing for a career then?
>>12947999Are you studying algebra for algebra's sake or are you going to jump into algebraic geometry?
>>12948026ALGEBRAIC NUMBER THEORY. GEOMETLETS GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>12948017No plans. I just know I'm not good suitable for a career in academia. Maybe be a neet and write bad novels to be published by some shady company, maybe return to warehouses to work as an incoming goods inspector. There are lots of options to choose from.>>12948030Classic.
>>12948030Cope, just use their weapons for your own gain. I really like arithmetic geometry.
>>12948030Cope cope copeMath begins and ends with geometry
>>12948047As Bourbaki once said: Structures are the weapons of the mathematician.
>>12948036Dumb tranny. You have passion. Why not do what you truly want instead of hiding behind excuses like not being suitable for a career in academia? The fuck does that even mean? We all know you want to be create things and share them with others. You are just having a bad day and trying to pretend you don't care. You do. We all know it.
>>12948012>How about the area around the French and Belgian border?Anywhere is fine, as long as it's not too hot. I'll do just like you and continue to see how far I'll get, although I'm pretty sure it won't be very far, at least I'll be able to say in the future that I tried my best at some point. And you know what? These last few days I have really enjoyed studying maths even though I couldn't do a lot of problems, mathematics is really fun even if I know I'll never amount to anything in it, so just learning for fun is fine by me. Let's just live life with no regrets.
>tfw you realize combinatorics is based
>>12948079Never studied it, outside of a few undergrad CS algorithms courses that involved graphs.What's a good graduate level introduction to the field?
>>12948069Fine. I admit I am full of self-hatred. A part of it comes from the fact that I am not good enough to succeed as a mathematician. It's the only thing I have ever been even decent on. No matter how hard I try, I will only be slightly above average. I am a failure and wouldn't be able to work as a real researcher without someone constantly telling me what to do. I'm just a mentally ill freak wasting the oxygen belonging to people worth more than me. Happy now?>>12948075That was a sweet post, the ending and you finding a hint of joy in life again. Maths should be done out of one's own volition like that. What have you been studying?
>>12948115Sounds more like imposter syndrome than anything. You said yourself you'll probably graduate. Then you'll probably find a job as a researcher. Whereas someone like me never even got to graduate school, is too far gone to ever go back and will never even do 2 years of real research in my entire life. Best I can do is just read other people's shit.
>>12947256Theorem. When a person leaning towards the pessimistic side estimates her own IQ, flip it around the average 100IQ and exchange "at most" for "at least.You're at least 115IQ.
>>12948115>What have you been studying?Galois Theory and Differential Geometry. It's been really fun even though I think I'll fail in at least one of them.
Why is ahlfors so comfy bros
>>12948126I wish you could replace me. You may have your vices and you may have done your share of mistakes, but surely you aren't rotten to the core like me. But no one promised life would be fair.>>12948158Please don't dualise me! That was a nice theorem, though. Thanks.>>12948180Have you gotten past the culture shock of absolutely inhumane notation in diff geo already? It really made me bang my head against a wall just trying to decipher the linear maps between tangent spaces.
>>12948193>It really made me bang my head against a wall just trying to decipher the linear maps between tangent spaces.Yes, that's exactly what's giving me the most trouble right now and the reason why I think I might fail this course. To make things worse, all my friends seem to get those things easily.
Does anyone have a proof for this? I'm studying group theory on hyperoperations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperoperation and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperstructure) and I'm looking for a proof that shows that properties are lost as you increase the "level" of your hyperoperation. Kind of like how inverting tetration is difficult.
>>12947855Hah, I knew you wouldn't stay off here (well, who didn't?). I didn't expect "the other anime poster that isn't that gay math-physicist" to also be huezillian. By the way, you aren't going to be a better person just by learning what those philosophers have to say, you must fight back procrastination and find a enjoyable practice that can feed you challenging worthy goals.
>>12948209>worthy goalsNot the person you're replying to, obviously, but what's a worthy goal for a failure that didn't make it and is relegated to being a hobbyist? It feels hopeless to me. I am blessed with lots of free time though.
>>12948209I am already a better person just from reading Wittgenstein's biography. He's probably the greatest human being who ever lived. >must fight back procrastinationI was able to study all day in the last few days, the secret is not turning on the PC or the smartphone first thing in the morning. Pretty simple, but hard to execute.
>>12948203You should try them out in some very simple situations probably. Try [math]\mathbb{R}^2, S^2[/math] as your manifolds for starters. That should make things more concrete, and hopefully the low hanging fruits will give you enough sugary power to climb the tree higher. Comparing yourself to others is something that should never be done, but oh boy is it easy... Maybe they get the notation, but you will outsmart them when it comes to de Rham cohomology. Believe in me believing in you.>>12948218It may sound new agey and cringey and stuff, but I don't care. I think a worthy goal is for example to simply expand one's understanding on things. It is a consequence of commercialisation that we easily think that studying things is worth it only when it leads to a certificate of some sort that will then open doors to better paying jobs. Sure, the piece of paper helps and is a good motivator for many, but it is not the only reason to keep going. Let brain be your muscle and your favourite chair your gym. Become the Kyriakos Grizzly of soul.
>>12948095'enumerative combinatorics' by stanley for general combinatorics (or if you get filtered by that, go to 'a walk through combinatorics' by bona) and 'modern graph theory' by bollobas (go to diestal if you get filtered by bollobas). I'm currently working through pic rel. rn
>>12948238Let me rephrase it, you can find value on those books I assume, but it's not going to give you life fulfilment by itself (just reading and understanding). At best, you have to get your hands dirty, apply and keep on going back to what you learned so you can apply better. But anyway, I'm taking your "I just want to" too seriously like an autist. >the secret is not turning on the PC or the smartphone first thing in the morningNice. I've heard specialists talking about the importance of having a "download" free-time right after you wake up, since our brains sort of spends the sleep time cleaning the room from what isn't important etc. Some people meditate first thing in the morning, like for 20 minutes, right after splashing their faces on some water. (I don't meditate but maybe one day...)
>>12948115>"I'll admit I am full of self-hatred">one sentence later: "I'm not good enough enough to succeed as a mathematician"Haha, you never change. What is to succeed as a mathematician, though? Does that mean not being able to add a net positive contribution?
>>12948258>consequence of commercialisationIt's not the paper or the jobs, I just would like to interact with others in the field rather than working away in isolation. I just would feel better I guess having something published or out there for posterity. Though, I guess there's so much of that already that it's an unrealistic goal. How many PhD theses and papers go unread?
>>12948323Is there speech to text program/so that can render latex? So say out loud "And we can see MATH integral from x to x to the eight of sin x bar see x bar equals g of x MATH is a function defined in terms of an integration" and then it does it's best to turn the stuff between the MATHs into latex
>>12948218Do you want to be a researcher?Honestly, at this point I think I'd better enjoy doing something like the 3blue1brown guy does.But if so, I think that trying to do everything as an outsider and remotely is nearly impossible. You have to have a reasonable amount of obsession and passion, intelligence (overrated factor though) and discipline. There are rare cases of people who manage to do it like that.But it's better to go back to academia in some way, even if you don't get funding. Having in person contact with professsors and colleagues makes too much of a difference. If you talk to a professor and show potential (like doing well on courses or solving entry research level problems).Just my two cents, though.
>>12948364I did want to be a researcher. I'm far too old now for that pipe dream. The school I graduated from will let me take graduate courses with permission from the professor. But they wouldn't have time to mentor my research or anything. Also I can attend colloquiums any time I want, and I do already know some of the people that would be there. However, these days I've been thinking of moving out of the city, and that would isolate me more.
>>12948265Thanks dude.
>>12948315>Haha, you never change.When you go low enough, you stop devolving.>What is to succeed as a mathematician, though? Does that mean not being able to add a net positive contribution?I don't know. I don't care if my name will be carried by any result ever or if I get any prizes or fancy sounding titles. If I just could use my head for producing something that would further the collective understanding of things, and use my hands for sharing those ideas. I'm OK with being just a cog in the big machine, but I fear I have no place in the system. Maybe I'm too small to actually move the bigger cogs, or maybe there is simply no need for any extra piece in the machinery anywhere.>>12948323What if you tried independent research on something and then published it on your own webpage? Sharing the link would then spread your result. Of course, one's own homepage is far from a journal, but you would still share your results that way.>How many PhD theses and papers go unread?Way too many, thanks to turning academia into a publication factory.
>>12948384It's possible. If you show value, a professor will invest even if informally. Are you past your 40s? 30s?But do you really want to invest so much time and effort in math? You may have better things to do with your life, something else may catch your interest and bring better opportunities.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amhINnExdJE
>>12948422>published it on your own webpageI'll just wind up being the next Tooker, right?I guess I have the same problem most amateurs have, it's hard to find a problem that's fruitful.>>12948438I'm certain it's my main interest, at least being old gives you some wisdom. Anyway, I'm pretty settled and have the time to study on my own. I just have a slight feeling of it being pointless sometimes.
Topological bases arent unique, are minimal bases?
>>12948472https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRsrDLkACTs>>12948513Alternatively, you could try to have someone authenticate you on arxiv, and then you could upload your stuff there. With a suitable choice of genres, it would even show up in my daily email! One problem type an amateur can try to tackle is some explicit computation of something that has not yet been done (but is shown to be computable).
>>12948555I thought of computational sutff, even contributing to packages that people use with mathematics. It's something I'm considering. I have a friend that has a job outside mathematics and just contributes to the OEIS a lot.
>>12948555Ive been spat out of the universe before. Like on a bus in 2018, in upstate new york.
>>12948422>When you go low enough, you stop devolvingUnderrated style. It's kinda funny how you go harder on that regard than me and yet you seem to be putting way more good hours than myself lately.>I'm OK with being just a cog in the big machineIn retorspect, I think we talked about it. I think the same, though I think I can (and, with even more reason, you too) contribute a bit to the big math machine, paying back all the investment with small interest.>>12948564How? He generates sequences or what?
>>12948517If such a base exists, then you can write every other base as unions of the sets in the minimal one. Suppose you have two minimal bases for a space. Then you can show that they are refinements of one another, and this should prove uniqueness. The big question is existence. That's not guaranteed.>>12948564Yes. Computational stuff is also an option. Or both at the same time. By computations, I was thinking about things like (co)homology or homotopy of some space, some group theoretic invariants in some special case etc. There is a program being developed by Chris Parker, a MAGMA code thingy, that computes fusion systems of finite groups. Maybe (if you know programming) try to develop an extension to that, or use it for some explicit computations of saturated fusion systems of some really nasty but important groups. That could be an example of a thing an amateur could very well do.
>>12948596Just stop being ashamed and embarrased. The past doesnt matter anymore.
>>12948597>The big question is existence. That's not guaranteed.Wut? Why not? How about for subbases?
Btw anitranni, you could be a better mathematician if you embraced your schzo side more. Trust me :p>>12948115
>>12948180
>>12948608 >fomenko basiert
>>12948596>How?Well you can contribute in many ways, submitting sequences. Editing existing sequences. It can be as simple as adding code for generating the sequence in a particular language. He's significantly older than me and actually quite good at mathematics despite not being in the field currently (does software stuff). I'm not going to go into his accomplishments but I'm lucky to have had someone like that to talk to.
>>12948597>existenceOh I think I haev an exmple. A chain topology on Z, where each int is a section.
>>12948204Try universal algebra. It's basically what you want. There is a dedicated field of study of hypergroups but they're basically complex algebras in universal algebra and the latter theory is way more mature. Tetration isn't multivalued anyway.
>>12948629Wait, maybe Im retarded because it morphs with the discrete topo and it is its own minimal basis innit

We can keep removing useless intervals infinitely long without losing the fact that it is still a base for the usual topology. I think the existence of a minimal subbase would imply the existence of a minimal base, so they shouldn't always exist. But this is a bit shaky.

The appeal of its colour scheme and stuff while on drugs is pretty obvious, for sure. I recommend I Stand Alone, though. Rather that than talking to spirits too much...>The intersection is a subset of either intersectors. So if the intersector is minimal, then surely the subset is too.Yes yes, I see. I think you can actually do the following: Suppose a minimal subbase exists, so that it gives you some base. If this base is not minimal, the subbase contains sets which we don't need in order to get the topology of our space. Remove those and obtain a subbase smaller than the minimal one, an absurdity. Therefore, a minimal subbase generates a minimal base. Then any two will definitely generate the same base. You can then probably do some proper argument which will show that any two subbases have to be the same because they will give the same intersections.

>>12949387yes. you can compute [math]\int_a^bf(x) \, \mathrm{d}x[/math] as a line integral of [math]\omega = f(x) \mathrm{d}x[/math]. parametrize [math][a,b][/math] by some [math]x\colon [t_0,t_1] \to [a,b][/math] and then the line integral is by definition [math]\int_{t_0}^{t_1} f(x(t))\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}\, \mathrm{d}t[/math], which is exactly the original integral by change of variables. note that you can't use this to "prove" the change of variables, because the definition of a line integral already assumes it (you need it to justify independence of parametrization).
>>12949446Thats barely a line integral though, whats the point?
>>12949446So, in a change of variable, the function must be 1 to 1, but with a line integral it doesn't matter. Is a change of variable just a special case of the line integral?>you need it to justify independence of parametrizationWhat you mean?

>>12949637>>Couldnt you just calculate the new bounds and swap the variable?>noWhy not? Changing variables in r1 at least, just stretches the function in weird ways. But as long as you get the right start and end, summing over t hits all the values. Do nonlinear stretches matter?

>>12949904Lots of older books from Springer's Lecture Notes in Mathematics series. The one I liked that used to be typeset this way but got a new edition recently (thankfully) is Number Fields by Marcus.

What the FUCK does diagonalization mean? It's just a matrix of eigenvalues isn't it
>>12948608Can I ask you to do a math edit for thisODE book by Arnold because he's my favorite onegaishimasu anon
Why do functionals only take the first derivatives? do higher derivatives not conatin information?
>>12950719Diagonalization is about finding base vectors for which it's extremely easy to describe what your matrix does. If you have a 3 by 3 matrix and you find three independent eigenvectors for it, then you will have a base of eigenvectors for R^3. Every vector in R^3 is thus a linear combination of eigenvectors, and when your matrix acts upon those eigenvectors, it merely scales them. So take any vector, transform it to eigenvector coordinates, then your matrix just scales all of those coordinates (which is multiplication by a diagonal matrix), and finally transform back to your "original" coordinates.
>>12950709differentiate it!>>12950719watch 3 blue 1 brown
>>12950749What makes you think finding the min/max of a functional only requires the first derivative?
>>12947632>Data science/MLSo not math. You're just using the degree to meet the qualifications, then you're just doing computer science.

>>12950719expressing a linear map in a basis of eigenvectors
>>12950760Depends on what you're doing. I would agree with you for most of those jobs, but ML research in particular can get pretty math heavy. Off the top of my head some popular methods that are math heavy are SVMs, Gaussian processes and Wasserstein GANs.It's entirely possible to do research with weak math skills (especially if you do deep learning), but it's pretty limiting.
>>12950770Because you are trying to find solutions to a variational problem so you only need terms upto the first derivative to write the description of the system, ie how the parameters vary. Also remember that once apply something like Euler-Lagrange the solutions will in general be second-order differential equations.
>>12950785It's about the consistent inferiority complex that makes someone want to enter number theory.
>>12950749In calculus of variations, the variational derivative is the necessary condition for extrema. The sufficient conditions known for minima and maxima are not determined by variational derivatives. i.e. the second variation does not follow from successive applications of the Euler Operator.
>>12950811>Because you are trying to find solutions to a variational problem so you only need terms upto the first derivative to write the description of the systemNo. You need the first variation for the necessary condition. Then you need higher order variations which are not related to the first variation through consecutive variational derivatives to calculate the sufficient conditions for maxima or minima. You need terms involving at least the second derivatives of the integrand to determine minima or maxima. >Also remember that once apply something like Euler-Lagrange the solutions will in general be second-order differential equations.No. See[math] L = F(x, y, y', y'') dx [/math]The Euler operator acting on L gives you a fourth order differential equation when restricted to sections. Moreover, the general Lagrangian[math] L = F\Omega [/math]when restricted to canonical sections of the respective jet bundle has an order twice the maximum order of the terms found in F. For example on sections the variational derivative of [math] L = F(x,y,y',...,y^{(n)})dx [/math]is given by [math] E(F) = F_y + \Sigma_k^n(-1)^k (D_x)^k F_{y^{(k)}} [/math] which is an ODE of order 2n in general.
>>12950709Take an arbitrary curve. Differentiate along the curve and show that the derivative exists. The condition is equivalent to showing that all partial derivatives exist.
new thread?
>>12950983and yet it's not equivalent to differentiability
>>12950719For you matrix [math] M\in Mat(n,n) [/math], if you can find a complete eigenbasis, that is you can find exactly n-independent eigenvectors, you write [math] P = ( e_1 ... e_n) [/math] and you calculate [math] D=P^{-1} M P [/math], D is a diagonalization of M. D is a diagonal matrix who's entries are M's eigenvalues.
>>12950997Differentiability in at a point [math] x \in \mathbb{R}^n [/math] is equivalent to showing that all partials exist in a neighborhood [math] U [/math] of [math] x [/math] and are continuous at [math] x [/math]. So if you want to show differentiability in [math] \mathbb{R}^n [/math], you only need to show that derivatives exist in a neighborhood of an arbitrary point and the derivatives are continuous at the point.
How would I go about finding inflection points of some function (and where it's concave and convex) without calculating the second derivative? Is there any rigorous way of doing it, or should I do some mumbo-jumbo with asymptotes and guessing the bounds?
>>12951001this is true, but imo it's not an explanation that's going to help someone who has trouble with the concept of diagonalization out
>>12951028If your curve is defined between two points and your curve is monotone between those two points, then draw a line from the initial point to the final point. If the line intersects the curve at a point between the two endpoints, then that point is an inflection point. You can test it out. See if it works.

>>12951407I heard similar things. About not going to sub top 50 programs. The only place I have been admitted to was outside of that range. But if my goal isn't really to stay in academia, it should be a fine choice career wise? I know at the very least I want to be at the capacity to do research in math. But I really started to think if mediocre pay would make it worth it. I've really been thinking about switching to finance after the PhD if research doesn't pan out all that well. As for the quals, I've taken AlgTop and DiffTop. But thanks for the advice on passing for the purpose of networking. It seems sensible to do something like that.

It is one of the good things in living alone.>More reason to find an proper hobby, it's all about discovering and trying new things anon.If only there was something to be interested in...>There are proper ways of doing so, perhaps his wasn't-- who knows, I'm not you. I hope you talk about it with the "help" though.Not too much. But I get my prescriptions and injections and stuff without having to try get them illegally online. High on E, baby...>Keep at it! I hope it's actually useful though, sometimes there's an issue with compatibility.I don't know if it is actually a good thing to play along when a mentally ill patient comes in, says factually incorrect stuff he thinks is true, and the doctor then pats his head and says "good girl, I'll sign this paper and you go to the pharmacy after we are done". But it makes life a bit less painful.>lactose intolerantBased same.>Cute cute cute!Absolutely not... Just imagine the stains on the pillow after falling asleep by accident, drooling all over it and then rubbing your face on it. Then it's full of mixture of saliva and warpaint.>And also stop with all of these dangerous metaphors! I'm going to throw you in a bed and force you to take a proper rest!The solace of rest is not for those seeking answers.
>>12952724>so I don't want to burden them with my nonsense.Maybe the first thing you should work on is not trivializing your issues...>If only there was something to be interested in...Doesn't sound like you tried... Probably related to the covid where you also can't try out most of the physical things and the feeling of uselessness is overwhelming. Kinda takes someone who's in the right spot to push you out of it during a time like this.>Not too much. But I get my prescriptions and injections and stuff without having to try get them illegally online. High on E, baby...W-wait we're both talking about a therapist right?>the doctor then pats his head and says "good girl, I'll sign this paper and you go to the pharmacy after we are done".Sounds like a psychiatrist and not a therapist anon. One gives you meds, the other works on (you).>The solace of rest is not for those seeking answers.i d i o tHow can you search for answers when you haven't had proper rest? And when you do, would you even be able to catch it if you're in this state?
>>12952754>Maybe the first thing you should work on is not trivializing your issues...Maybe. It's just hard to take them seriously when you constantly read everywhere that you are just a crazy pervert and vain and stuff.>Doesn't sound like you tried... Probably related to the covid where you also can't try out most of the physical things and the feeling of uselessness is overwhelming. Kinda takes someone who's in the right spot to push you out of it during a time like this.I actually have. I have tried to draw, learn how to play the recorder, make bad music with FL Studio, read, write, and so on. The next thing on the trying list is to start sewing stuffed animals.>W-wait we're both talking about a therapist right?Sort of. I need to go tell them how I hate every single aspect of my existence as a physical entity. At the same time I can tell how I hate this and that in my life. The main thing is to get the meds afterwards.>Sounds like a psychiatrist and not a therapist anon. One gives you meds, the other works on (you).I see both.>How can you search for answers when you haven't had proper rest? And when you do, would you even be able to catch it if you're in this state?I don't know. I really don't. I appreciate your concerns, but I don't think /mg/ is the right place for this stuff. You are nice, but I'm not in the mood to think about how non-existent my life control is. Sorry.
>>12952821you may be amab but you are a real woman to me :)
>>12952861Thanks.
>>12952821Sorry if I evoked bad feelings/memories anon, wasn't my intention...
>>12952887Don't worry, you didn't. They are just things that I don't want to think about right now, and also things that I doubt the fine co-posters of ours couldn't care the less to read about.
>>12952907Hmmm? I'm new here!I've only been here for a week.yoroshiku onegaishimasu, senpai.
>>12952911then you should be told that you have just talked to the anime tranny, our own queen of algebra
>>12952911In that case, I bid you welcome. I hope you don't do CT as your specialty, or the big analysis boys will rip you to pieces when they find out.>>12952947Anon, please. No cults of personality.
>>12952947W-woah algebra? Sasuga...Also heh, tranny, I live in a city full of trannies so I accept them by default!>>12952959Computed Tomography?I just want to get into real analysis but I'm being FILTERED by LINEAR ALGEBRA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>12952976>Computed Tomography?I mean categories. They are magical things and it is easy to give too much of yourself to dark forces when you use them. Some lose their souls completely.>I just want to get into real analysis but I'm being FILTERED by LINEAR ALGEBRA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDon't get filtered too badly. A lot of analysis requires knowing at least the basics of linear algebra. But you will make it, just work hard!
>>12952998>Don't get filtered too badly.Oh it's just because I didn't open myself up for concepts when I should've. Now I'm suffering it for it. Alas, c'est la vie, or whatever it's called.Stay safe anon, please treat me well!Also, seriously, take a break idiot.
>>12953036Lucky for you, it's the early stuff you are suffering with. You can still fix the situation within a reasonable time. You also learned your lesson by seeing in practice what that kind of negligence can do to a student. If I keep my weekend off, will you use it for getting the concepts inside your skull? Hopefully so, since I am definitely going to have a few days of break.
