Doesn't do enough stuff, avoiding the determinant is nice but it's ultimately something you need to learn. Avoids being more general.

I think if you're new to proofs Axler is good, but otherwise a book like Hoffman and Kunze is a lot better.

>>
>>9113981
I used the word "avoid" in the sense that he does things without using it, even in places where it normally would be used (because it's at the end of the book). In any case, Axler's approach to the determinant is bad (he doesn't talk about the determinant as a multilinear function, and I think he also doesn't write the permutation formula).

while it is true he doesn't talk about k-forms at all, I don't know what you mean by permutation formula. He defines the determinant with the usual Leibniz definition, pic related.
>>
>>9114017
It's been a while since I've read it, so I wasn't quite right. To review what Axler does, he defines the determinant for a transform as the product of eigenvalues, then for matrices by Leibniz definition (this is what I meant by permutation formula, because you sum over permutations). Then he shows these are the same.
I don't like either as a definition, the first definition is bad because it only works correctly with transformations on complex spaces, he uses a hack to get it to work on real spaces. It certainly doesn't work on rings. The Leibniz definition is bad just because it comes out of nowhere, it makes more sense when you derive it from a definition which is understood.
The k-form definition is excellent because you can start with the vague idea of measuring the "signed volume" of a transformation. Just from this idea you can figure out some of the axioms a function would need to satisfy, and go from there.
>>
>>9114090

starting with signed volume seems like an arbitrary or poorly motivated place to start, what's nice about starting with the algebraic approach is that it relates the determinant directly to the solvability of a system of equations, which is, atleast supposedly, the point of linear algebra.

Can anyone help with pic related? The idea is to write the inside of the sum of the left in terms of an integral and then you change the order so that the integral is outside and the sum inside. But what i get is not what the exercise asks for. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

>>
>>9114569
The sum on the right is constant when p_n < t < p_n+1 where p_n is the n-th prime and it changes discontinuously when t is prime, so you can split the improper integral into an infinite sum of proper integrals. Once you find the values of these integrals you can use some simple indexing tricks to get the LHS.

Wait, I think I got it. But someone please correct me if what I say is retarded. I noticed that:
[math] p^{-\epsilon} = \epsilon \int_p ^{\infty} \frac{dt}{t^{1+\epsilon}} [/math]

Therefore
[eqn] \sum_{p>exp(1/\epsilon)} p^{-1 - \epsilon} = \sum_{p>exp(1/\epsilon)} p^{-1} p^{-\epsilon} = \epsilon\sum_{p>exp(1/\epsilon)} \left( p^{-1} \int_p ^{\infty} \frac{dt}{t^{1+\epsilon}} \right)[/eqn]

That gets me the sum and the integral. Where p and t run through:
[math] exp(1/\epsilon) < p < \infty \\ p < t < \infty[/math]

But the region of the p-t plane described by these inequalities is the same as:
[math] exp(1/\epsilon) < t < \infty \\ exp(1/\epsilon) < p < t [/math]

So I can change the order of integration and get:

[eqn] \epsilon \int_{exp(1/\epsilon)}^{\infty} \left( \frac{dt}{t^{1+\epsilon}} \sum_{exp(1/\epsilon) < p < t} \frac{1}{p} \right) [/eqn]

Which is the theorem. I think this is right, the only problem is
>tfw in calculus 3 you never had to change the order of integrals in infinite regions so now you can't even do number theory

Life is suffering. Hopefully someone who had a better calc 3 professor can tell me if this change is correct.

Guys, I need to prove that every finite group is finitely presented.
My attempt:
Assume group [math]G[/math] is finite and let [math]A \subset G[/math] be a generating subset of [math]G[/math], that is, [math]G =
<A>[/math]. Therefore, there exists a surjective homomorphism [math]\phi: F(A)
\rightarrow G[/math] which means [math]G =
<\phi(a_1), ..., \phi(a_n)>[/math]. Now, since [math]G[/math] consists of all products of the form [math]\phi(a_1)\phi(a_2)...\phi(a_n)[/math] and the number of such products is finite( group is finite) the number of products equal to the identity element is also finite. Therefore, [math]ker \ \phi[/math] consisnts of all words [math]a_1...a_n[/math] such that [math]\phi(a_1...a_n) = e_G[/math] which makes it[kernel] finite. [math]F(A)/ker\ \phi \cong G[/math]. Hence, group [math]G[/math] is finitely presented by [math]ker\ \phi[/math].

Is it ok, did I miss something?

So you can find the range of a function by finding the domain of its inverse.
Does this work even if the function isn't bijective?

My thoughts are that as long as the y has at least one corresponding x, then the y is in the range. So finding the inverse of a non bijective function for the purpose of finding the range is valid.
Is there anything wrong with this reasoning?
>>
>>9121433
>So you can find the range of a function by finding the domain of its inverse.

No because if it's not bijective then there's no inverse.

Consider f(x)=x^2 from R to R, which has no inverse

>>9121532
But if I set f(x)=y and solve for x, I get x=+/-sqrt(y) which has a domain of all positive R, which is the same as the range of f(x).

Maybe calling it the inverse was wrong, but I'm not seeing how this method is wrong.

Bijective functions are synonymous with invertible functions.

When you say [math]\ln x[/math]
is the inverse of [math]e^x[/math], you're thinking of [math]e^x[/math] as a function from [math]\mathbb{R}[/math] to [math]\mathbb{R}^+[/math], not to [math]\mathbb{R}[/math]. You force it to be a bijection by restricting its domain and codomain.

So in a sense, any functions admits an "inverse" provided you whittle down the sets you're working over enough. But your "inverses" won't be unique anymore, since you can just keep restricting your domain further. So to answer your original question, no.

I'm still unconvinced.
And I'm not sure you understood my question properly.

I already know that non bijective functions can't have inverses, I'm not arguing that.

Basically what I'm saying is,
Given a function f(x), an easy way to find the range of it, is to solve for x in terms of y, and find the smallest domain of whatever x equates to. That domain is the range of f(x).
As far as I can tell, this method works.

Eg:
f(x) = x^2 = y
y = +/-sqrt(x) (we will take the positive sqrt, but any works)
Smallest domain of +sqrt(x) is all positive R, which is the same as the range of f(x).

Do you understand what I'm getting at?

In my experience, the field axioms do not of-themselves include the property of cancellation (if ab = 0 , then this implies that a = 0 or b = 0), which is specific to domains, and particularly integral domains (as developed in wiki's current treatment).

It's easier said than done and, whereas it's (more or less) doable during your undergrad, when you get to grad school, you will likely not have time for that (you need to start working on your own stuff), but it's always important to have that goal in mind. Proofs of basic results give you inspiration when you have to do something original (you have an array of ideas you can try to tweak in order to see if it helps you)

Hey Math my calc teacher doesn't allow calculators in class, quizzes or exams. This is exciting and I'm ready but up till now my classes have been calculator heavy.

How is this going to work with all the trig and stuff ? For example a hw question has asked me to use a table to find limit of a rational trig function f(x) = tan(9x)/tan(4x) as x approaches 0 and the answer can't contain pi

Is OxfordAnon here? I have a question for him.

(I'm an American applicant, so you may be unfamiliar with some of the things I talk about.)

I'm applying to Oxford this year, which is also my gap year (after having finished my 12th year of school). My high school was absolutely terrible; the majority of its graduates end up attending a community college after finishing school. (Enrolling in a community college is kind of like doing foundation courses in the UK). In short, its education standards (and many of its students' prospects) are mediocre. The most rigorous class I've taken is AP Calculus BC. Would you happen to know how this might affect my application? How do I inform Oxford about my circumstances?

It seems that Oxford likes it when A-Level pupils take Further Maths, which I imagine is more difficult/rigorous than AP Calculus BC, right? The most advanced concept we got to in BC Calc was Taylor series. Would that make me seem unqualified and/or hurt my chances?

Unrelated question I was curious about: do the students that apply at age 16 have an edge or a disadvantage in comparison to those who are 17/18 at time of application?

Thanks a lot senpai

Daily remainder that pure mathematicians who denounce real world problems and applications are just too dumb for them and just mask their plebiness.
>>
>>9123760
No, it is actually just politics. After the days of Gauss were over and mathematics started becoming much more abstract we were attacked by the mainstream and even other academics for focusing so much time and energy into solving problems that have no real world value. That was a crucial turning point for math because at that point history split on two. There were two choices:

1) Our timeline
2) Scientists and the mainstream media destroy mathematics and then only applied math remains, with pure mathematicians being exiled from academia for "wasting resources"

So obviously we ended in the good timing but how did we do it? Simple. We saw that there was another group of academics who spent their days masturbating and yet no one ever bothered them: the philosophers. How could the philosophers not produce jack shit from society and still not get as much criticism as pure mathematics? The answer was simple: by creating an air of mystique around philosophy, surrounding themselves with snobs and autists, and by proposing that their field (philosophy) was the only worth while field while everything else was garbage.

So we learned from the best and we created the following memes
>Numberphile (to attract snobs, autists and autistic snobs)
>Other popmath videos
>Claiming pure math is the only right way to do math
>Shitting on scientists and engineers for not being as pure as us
>Telling the mainstream media whenever we can that our work is highly intellectual and therefore should be respected

And it fucking worked. We ended up in the good timeline. Must suck to be in the applied math timeline.

I have nothing against pure/abstract math, that wasn't my point.

It is an injection iff the kernel is trivial. That injectivity implies trivial kernel is easy to see, because identity elements are mapped to identity elements. Conversely, [math]f(x)=f(y) \Leftrightarrow e'= f(x)f(y)^{-1} = f(x)f(y^{-1}) = f(xy^{-1})[/math], so [math]xy^{-1}\in\text{ker }f[/math], which, with a trivial kernel, means [math]xy^{-1}=e \Leftrightarrow x=y[/math]. Similarly, a homomorphism is surjective iff its cokernel is trivial. An isomorphism can then be characterized by saying it is a homomorphism with trvial kernel and cokernel.

Not quite right. There's no way the kernel can be finite (if w is a nontrivial element in the kernel, then w^n is as well, and because we are working in a free group, the w^n are pairwise distinct). What you must prove is that the kernel is *finitely generated*.
I think the simplest way to see this is to take A=G and prove that case, the kernel is generated by "the multiplication table of G" (ie. generated by the products [math]xyz^{-1}[/math] whenever [math]xy = z[/math] for [math]x,y,z \in G[/math])

well the sphere is in a bijection with, say, the real numbers so you can use the group structure on R to induce a group structure on the sphere via the bijection. this is of course completely useless and ugly, you need to somehow connect the group structure with the topological one. so there's the notion of a topological group, where the underlying set is a topological space and the group operations (multiplication and taking an inverse) are required to be continuous maps (or even differentiable - in this case it's called a lie group). it is a hard theorem of topology that the only spheres admitting a topological group structure are 0-sphere (discrete group with two elements), 1-sphere (unit complex numbers) and 3-sphere (unit quaternions).

there's a canonical way to do it in this case.

For any group G, you can take the underlying set |G| and free group F(|G|). There is a canonical homomorphism F(|G|)-->G taking an element of F(|G|) - thought of as an expression of symbols of G, mod group laws, to their actual product in G.

Now do this to any finite group. Since |G| is already finite, you have your finite presentation.

Your reasoning is correct, should be 2400. Wolfram gives me the exact same answer, recheck the question you actually gave WA to calculate, probably forgot a y like in your first question.
>>
>>9128400
>-0.08+.12(5000-y)=0.05
but the first line in your work shows
[math] -0.08y + .12(5000 - y) = 0.05y[/math]

which one is it?

Hey guys.

How do I pass subjects that are weighted 70% exams and 30% Assignments/Tests?

I failed Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra; yes I've fallen for the pure maths meme, but god damn its sooo addictive, and fun. I'm already working like a horse trying to get by Complex Analysis; which I find easier than Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra. The only subjects I did well were Linear Algebra, Vector Calculus, and Differential Equations.

Please help a brother out. I want to be like you guys and I'm 23 years old with aspergers/dyslexia; my get my undergrad when im 25. I want to get a PhD in Pure Maths in my early thirties!!!! And become smart ofc course.
>>
abstract algebra sucks until i think about it then it's easy pz what is with that? i'm gonna stick with analysis as long as i can. also mathematical physics suck it redditchan.

Does anyone here know any decent math books that cover ALL the topics present in the art of problem solving books: volume 1 and 2?

I already have the first book but can't find the second one anywhere so I think I will have to give up on this series.

Here's the list of contents in the 2 two books:
>Vol .1

Vol. 2

Thank you.

Reframe the question if you're unsure of it.

Assume 3^k>100k for k:[6,inf). Then n>(10/log3) +log (n)/log3>logn/log3.

Begin your induction from this point and the answer should become obvious.

I just watched a ted video regarding top students. Their secret? They focus on mock exams.

Think about it. Your job is to pass the exam, so why would you practice anything else?
>>
>>9128913

Not sure if this is bullshit, but how did you "Fail" Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra? Did you even study? What was your exposure with proofs before those classes?

Because we make more income then them and get more of the media spotlight. Math is just a tool, there's very little in terms of societal progression It's applicable. They do this shit for free, It's a labor of love and hobby at best.

Just how lazy are you allowed to be with proofs?

An exercise asks me to proof
[math]\sum_{j=0}^{n}\binom{n}{j}=2^n[/math]

Can't I just write it as [math]\sum_{j=0}^{n}\binom{n}{j}1^{n-j}1^j=(1+1)^n[/math] And claim it's true because the binomial theorem is true?

>>9129836

I assume you are allowed to use anything proved or otherwise stated in class, so that ist probably the intended solution.

>Just how lazy are you allowed to be with proofs?
Depends on the proposition. In your case you could just write "Trivial."

Hi, I'm relearning math from scratch. I've started with Kiselev's Geometry I.

Is it a good choice? If no, what are alternative geometry materials?
