not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone here know about swollen lymph nodes? basically both of my 'midjugular' ones have swollen up (i think) in the past couple of days and im wondering if thats how it works? like does one swell and then the ones connected to it follow or should i be worried its something else? i have a doctors appointment book but its not for a couple of weeks

Not particularly educated on physiology but as far as I understand, lymph nodes swell up all the time, especially if you are at all sick. The lymph system is for "cleaning" and so there are endless reasons it could be overloaded.

Hello /sci/, and welcome to the second lecture in my Brave New Algebra series. Today we will be discussing category theory. This won't be as careless as yesterday's lecture, but it is NOT going to be super duper careful either. You've been warned. All of this stuff has been fully formalized and carefully handled in a variety of great textbooks (Categories for the Working Mathematician by Mac Lane is pretty good). This lecture is meant to familiarize people with the language and methods of category theory. My goal is not a starkly rigorous handling. With that said, let's begin.

I will be fixing a suitable Grothendieck universe U for this discussion, for those curious. When I say small, I mean U-small. An arbitrary category need not be U-small here, but it will be U'-small for some sufficiently large universe U'.

A category C consists of a U'-small set of objects, which I will denote C_0, and a U'-small set of arrows or morphisms, which I will denote C_1. This notation should remind you of objects being 0-cells, and arrows being 1-cells. We will handle this generalization later on.

There are parallel functions s,t: C_1 -> C_0. We call s(f) the source or domain of f, and t(f) the target or codomain of f. A pair of arrows (f,g) is called composable if s(g)=t(f). There is a binary operator called composition ∘: {(f,g) : (f,g) is composable} -> C_1 which is associative. We will write g∘f for ∘(f,g). Furthermore, we impose the following relations: s(g∘f)=s(f) and t(g∘f)=t(g).

There is always an injective function Id : C_0 -> C_1, satisfying f∘Id(X)=f whenever s(f)=X, and Id(X)∘g=g whenever t(g)=X. We call Id(X) the identity arrow of X, or just its identity. (Exercise: show that identities are unique (ie, that if two arrows exhibit the properties of an identity, then they are equal).)

Given objects A and B in C, we will denote the set of arrows {f : s(f)=A and t(f)=B} := C[A,B]. This is the set of arrows going from A to B. We write f:A->B if f is in C[A,B]. Generally, C will be clear from context in this case.

A morphism f:A->B is called an isomorphism if there exists a morphism g:B->A such that f∘g=Id(B) and g∘f=Id(A). We call g a two-sided inverse to f. (Exercise: show that two-sided inverse are unique.) With this, we will simply call g "the" inverse of f, omitting "two-sided."
>>
The elements of C[X,X] are called endomorphisms of X. The subset of C[X,X] consisting of the isomorphisms is called the set of automorphisms on X, Aut(X). (Exercise: show that Aut(X) satisfies the group axioms.) With this, we call Aut(X) the automorphism group of X.

If r∘s=Id(X), we call r a retract of s (a left inverse), and we call s a section of r (a right inverse). A morphism f is called idempotent if f∘f=f. (Exercise: show that, if s is a section of r, then s∘r is idempotent.) We say that such an r and s split this idempotent.

A monomorphism is an arrow f:A->B such that, given any two arrows g,h:C->A, f∘g=f∘h implies that g=h. Dually, an epimorphism is an arrow f:A->B such that i∘f=j∘f implies that i=j. Later, we will provide a more concise and elegant way to characterize epimorphisms and monomorphisms. (Exercise: show that the composition of two monomorphisms is again a monomorphism, and that the same holds for composable epimorphisms.)

If f∘g is an epimorphism, then f is an epimorphism. Indeed, suppose we had some i and j where i∘f=j∘f but i=/=j (such a pair must exist for f not to be an epimorphism). Then, after composing with g on the right, we have (i∘f)∘g=(j∘f)∘g. By associativity, we have i∘(f∘g)=j∘(f∘g), but by hypothesis, f∘g is an epimorphism. We thus have that i=j, a contradiction. So, f must also be an epimorphism. A similar argument applies to monomorphisms, so that if f∘g is a monomorphism, then g is a monomorphism.

Clearly every isomorphism is both an epimorphism and a monomorphism, but the converse need not hold in general.
>>
A category C is called small (by our use of universes, this is technically U-small) if C_0 is a small set and C_1 is a small set. It is locally small if C[A,B] is a small set for all A,B in C. (Exercise: show that a small category is locally small.)


We will now examine some of the categories which we will be working with most heavily.

The category Set has for objects U-small sets, and Set[A,B]=B^A, the set of functions from A to B. (Exercise: check that Set indeed forms a category. Is it small? Locally small?)

The category Grp has for objects (small) groups, with group homomorphisms between them.

Vect_k has for objects vector spaces over a fixed base field k, with linear maps between them.

CRing has commutative rings (with multiplicative identity) for objects and homomorphisms between them.

Top is the category with objects topological spaces, and with continuous functions between them.

Question for chemists from a physics-fag. How the fuck do you grasp your notation? Like seriously, the way you read molocules and shit is fucking unlegible.
18 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
>>8180110
there are naming conventions you have to learn. in chemistry there is currently a discrepancy between generations, as the old fucks had a system put into place, but the fresh meat redesigned the standard to be more intuitive.

most everyone knows the new notation because its really easy. i dont know why old people insist on using the older words to cause confusion. some are just easier to say I guess.
>>
>>8180136
You happen to know the name of the two notation sets? Would like to find out which one I'm being taught.
>>
>>8180139
IUPAC handles the naming conventions for current chemistry education and is named "IUPAC notation" accordingly if i remember correctly. I dont know what the old notation is called, but sure tell me what you are being taught.

hey /sci/,
any clues?

I couldn't get into Spivak Calculus, and Apostol's introduction to proving Archimedes just left me confused and I have no idea of what these guys are doing.

So I am obviously too dumb for these two. Is there some other book that kind of gives me the type of thinking required for this type of math? Induction, proving, etc.

Everything in life is dependent on something else in order to function as we know it. However, in conversation, when bringing up dependency what are the prerequisites for it to be relevant to the context at hand?

Basically, how "dependent" does something have to be, or what thresholds does it have to pass in order to be brought up?

I asked /g/ and /diy/ and they couldn't tell me shit so i'm hoping on some engineers here.

i just got an arduino uno from my parents and started playing around with it, now my brother (who works in some electronics business) brought me a bunch of stuff to build around and i don't really know what it is or what i can do with it.
I'd appreciate every little bit of information from you guys.
