most hectic i've done so far is renormalization of phi-4 theory

u jelly, non-physics fags?

Other than pumping up your muscle (brain), that is the point of learning this? Does your job requires this knowledge...because you'll never use this in your life unless in that field.

try again, brainlet

....so what's the point?

>>8967706
Probably one of those where only Cleo found a closed form when i was trying to get to them and prove it.

>>8967721
of course
pauli-villars regularization

God damn, you really are a brainlet.

>>8967733
Dimensional is the only way to go.

>>8967729
fine splitting in metals
that enough for ya, pal?
or do you need it to rub your balls as well?

>>8967706
Pro-tip: if an automatic solver like Matlab's or Mathematica's can do it, it's not a hard integral.

>>8967740
>being this retarded
if you think that Mathematica can give you a closed form solution to that integral you are brain dead.
also, why the fuck are you even comparing Matlab's solver to Mathematica's?
are you fucking 2?

I once did a triple integral. I'm planning to major in that.

can you guys solve this?

>>8967770
is this one of the cleo ones

Why is physics notation so absolutely abhorrent?

I am?

>>8967770
4pi arccot sqrt(phi)

>>8967807
Prove it. In a different way to Ron Gordon.

>>8967770
The function is continuous so it exists. I shall call it [math] \vartheta [/math]

The answer is [math] \vartheta [/math].

the integral function
you can solve this for any abstract f(x)

>>8967770
Obviously the answer is

[eqn]2\frac{1}{x} \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}} \ln\left( \frac{2x^2+2x+1}{2x^2-2x+1} \right)[/eqn]

Norm is a blessing and he should be writing the syllabus. Kids would be finding doing complex geometry before the end of primary school.

>>8967710
why must all endeavors serve a practical purpose?
why can't people partake in mathematics simply because they're interested? I mean, you started your shit reply with "Other than pumping up your brain", as if making yourself smarter is a pointless exercise.

let me guess, liberal arts major?

When I took Calculus 2 I had to solve both of these:

[math]\int x \tan x \cdot dx[/math]
[math]\int \tan^{-1} x \cdot dx[/math]

>>8967884
No you can't. f has to be a locally integrable function.

>>8967706
wait till you do renormalization in qcd, those calculations are fucking hard as hell

>>8967733
dimensional regularization is only regularization that doesnt shit all over lorentz symmetry

>>8968005
good job man

>>8968092
Isn't zeta function and dimensional regularisation equivilent?

>>8968064
yeah well come back after uve finished primary school mathematics

>>8967719
>manipulating equations is intrinsic math/physics beauty
i want undergrads to leave

>>8968092
How though? How can you have lorentz symmetry without an integer number of dimensions

>>8968016
i found funny that this question usually not being asked for sports, games or whatever useless in general hobby

>>8967770
Why is the dx written right after the integral and not after whatever the fuck is being integrated?

>>8968937
standard practice for physicists

>computing integrals
>hard

wtf is wrong with you guys?

>>8968937
In physics it is common functions of multiple variables and with many parameters being integrated in only some of them, so it makes sense to know right away what you are integrating.

>>8967710
It's okay, the world needs HR reps and sales guys too.

>>8967710
Why the fuck are you even here?

>>8968937
because physicists like cocks in their ass and this is how they signal it to each other

>>8967884
>any
Tried a non-measurable function, brainlet?
Or a nowhere continuous function, you fucking brainlet?

>>8968939
Are you a brainlet?

Most (Riemann)integrals have no analytic solution and besides numerically solving them there is nothing you can do.

If your notion of integral depends on measure theory, then it isn't the most general notion of integral.

>>8967708
no, i am the opposite of jelly

there is nothing more retarded than people who think big integrals=more smart

Proving that if an operator which maps functions to non-negative functions is weak (1,1) and weak (infinity, infinity), then it is strong (p,p) for p>1. I'll skip the set up and just post the integral computation:
[math]
\|Mf\|_p^p = \int Mf^p\,d\mu = \int_0^\infty \mu(\{x: Mf(x)^p > y)\}dy = \int_0^\infty pt^{p-1}\mu(\{x: Mf(x) > t\})\,dt \leq \int_0^\infty pt^{p-1} \int_{x: |f(x)|>t/2} 2c|f(x)|/t \,dx\,dt
[/math]
[math]
= 2cp \int_0^\infty \int_{x: |f(x)|>t/2} |f(x)|t^{p-2}\,dx\,dt = 2cp \int_{\mathbb{R}} \int_0^{2|f(x)|} |f(x)|t^{p-2}\,dt\,dx = \int_{\mathbb{R}} |f(x)| \frac{2^{p-1}|f(x)|^{p-1}}{p-1}\,dx = \frac{2^p cp}{p-1} \int_{\mathbb{R}} |f(x)|^p \,dx = \frac{2^p cp}{p-1}\|f\|_p^p.
[/math]
So taking the p-th root of both sides gives the strong (p,p) bound.
