the riemann zeta function approximates any nonvanishing holomorphic function in the right half of the critical strip infinitely many times and arbitrarily well

My favorite theorem is really basic but I love it because it helped me a lot in these past finals. I applied it maybe like a 100 times in my finals. I am still waiting for the grades but I am sure I got an A in all my tests because I got really good at applying the exponential distribution theorem:

[math] (a+b)^n = a^n + b^n [/math]

>>8573349
Lol don't you know any algebra? You can prove this through induction over n.

The base case n=1 is trivial so now lets do the n+1 case, assumig it works for n

[math](a+b)^{n+1} = (a+b)^n(a+b) = (a^n + b^n)(a+b) = (a^na + b^nb) = a^{n+1} + b^{n+1} [/math]

QED.

Now, if it works for rationals and irrationals is still a mystery and it is actually tied up to the zeros of the Reman function. If the Reman Function has non trivial zero for x then this theorem works for x but no such 0 has been found in the entire universe yet.

I really like those funny stuff in number theory.

I also proved something an anon on /sci/ conjectured, so I like it (even though it was probably an already known rule)

Let A, B, C, D > 0.
If [math]\frac{A}{B} < \frac{C}{D}[/math], then we have :
[math]\frac{A}{B} < \frac{A+C}{B+D} < \frac{C}{D}[/math]

I dunno, I guess I like the proof by contradiction that [math]\sqrt2 \in \mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}.[/math] I also like the geometric proof that it's possible to construct [math]\sqrt{d}[/math] given that [math]d[/math] is a constructible number. I also like how [math]\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x} e^x = e^x.[/math] It also still blows my mind how [math]\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\text{d}x = F(b)-F(a).[/math] It shouldn't be this elegant, but damn it is.

I know this sounds kinda stupid but I really like the equation to find the area of a triangle.

Back in college, I was in a modern physics class and the professor introduced us to the time independent Schroedinger wave equation. He was explaining its significance and how it is related to conservation of energy and yada yada yada. After the lecture, one of the students in my class raised his hand and asked, "Why don't you just cancel the psi's on both sides of the equation?" The professor set the chalk down slowly, grabbed his coat, and calmly walked out of the room. After he left, the kid came to his senses, answered his own question, and felt really stupid and embarrassed.

does it only approximate it at a point, so at that point the function + all derivatives are the same, or does it approximate it in a finite area sothat you can take a chunk of the zeta function and it looks just like another function?

Favourite equation, there are too many to pick one. Among them would be Euler's theorem, Dirac's Equation, Mass-energy equivalence, Schrodinger's Equation, Einstein's Field Equations, Entropy. Probably missing out an absolute ton of them though.

Favourite theorem, would be a clash between General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics (no pun intended), evolution and Thermodynamics. Though all of vector calculus and complex analysis are fascinating too.

Favourite facts, We all Stahdoost, We existed alongside several different species of hominids at the same time that were at least of equal intelligence and we only out-competed them because of voiceboxes and rotating forearms. Also, there's the heat death. Not as nasty as people think, it's actually themost elegant and natural solution to the Friedman Equation, and things would be a lot worse for the universe if it weren't the case. Kinda gives you more certainty to physics in general.

When you take a smooth projective variety over C cutout by polynomials with integral coefficients, then you can said polynomials mod p and get a smooth variety over the closure of F_p.

The l-adic cohomology of the mod p variety tensored with C is isomorphic to the usual zariski cohomology of the variety over C.

it approximates it on any compact subset whose complement is connected

i.e. given a nonvanishing holomorphic function on that compact subset, you can find infinitely many vertical shifts of that compact subset where the zeta function behaves arbitrarily close to that function
