H: antiderivative of $\sum _{ n=0 }^{ \infty }{ (n+1){ x }^{ 2n+2 } } $ I've proven that the radius of convergence of $\sum _{ n=0 }^{ \infty }{ (n+1){ x }^{ 2n+2 } } $ is $R=1$, and that it doesn't converge at the edges. Now, I was told that this is the derivative of a function $f(x)$, which holds $f(0)=0$. My nex...
H: why does the h in Torricelli's law (the form that relates height to time) go to zero rapidly? https://class.coursera.org/calcsing-002/lecture/320 In the the above linked lecture at 5:44, we are trying to find how fast liquid leaks from a cone shaped tank. I understand the derivation but at the end it mentions that ...
H: Number of cusps of an modular curve $X_0(N)$ Let $X_0(N) = \Gamma_0(N) / (\mathbb{H} \cup \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q}))$. A lecture note (p. 2) lists the following (very easy!) formula for the corresponding cusps: $$\nu_\infty = \sum_{d\mid N} \varphi(\gcd(d,N/d)).$$ Unfortunately, there is no source or derivation give...
H: Normal bundle geometry I am wondering what a normal bundle looks like given this definition for Riemannian manifolds: Say $M = S^2$. $T_pM$ is the tangent plane ($\mathbb R^2$) at $p \in S^2$. Lets denote the north pole by $0$ and let $S$ be a ball of some radius around $0$. Naturally, I expect the normal vector ...
H: Is the quotients of a group of triangular distributed numbers still following a triangular distribution? I have a group of numbers (about 10000 numbers) between 0.8 and 1.0 which follows simple triangular distribution (for example, lower limit: 0.8, upper limit: 1.0, mode: 0.9). If I divide 2 by each number from th...
H: Is the number of irreducibles in any number field infinite? Are there infinitely many irreducibles in the ring of integers of any algebraic number field ? I tried to follow the same argument as we usually do for integers. Suppose there are finitely many irreducibles, say $p_1,\ldots ,p_n$ and let $\alpha :=1+ p_1\c...
H: Are the number of terms in an infinite series even or odd? This question arose after I saw a youtube-vid where Grandi's series was discussed.It seems that the sum of the series will be 0 for an even, and 1 for an odd number of terms, where a term is defined as (-1)n, n indicating the n'th term.It seems that even wh...
H: Ambiguous notation for squared matrix What does $A^{2}$ mean for square $A$? Is it $AA$ or $AA^{T}$? Sometimes, the result may differ. Or there is no uniform approach? AI: There's no ambiguity, $A^2=AA$, period.
H: Indefinite integral of $(2x+9)e^x$ What is the indefinite integral $\displaystyle\int (2x+9)e^x\,\mathrm dx$? Attempt: Integration by parts seems obvious. $u = 2x + 9, \mathrm du = 2$ $\mathrm dv = e^x, v = e^x$ $uv - \int v\,\mathrm du$ $(2x+9)e^x - \int 2e^x$ $(2x+9)e^x - 2e^x$ This is wrong but I don't see why...
H: Convergence of a complex power series Let $a,b,c \in \mathbb C$ with $c \in \mathbb N$. Then I have to calculate the radius of convergence of the following power series: $$ 1+ \frac{ab}{c \cdot 1!} z + \frac{a (a+1)b(b+1)}{c(c+1)2!} z^2+ \frac{a(a+1)(a+2)b(b+1)(b+2)}{c(c+1)(c+2)3!}z^3 + \cdots $$ Using the ratio-te...
H: Find volume on a shape with base of an ellipse I have an ellipse with area $\pi ab$ $a = 6$, $b = 4$ these are the axis lengths. I am suppose to compute the volume of a cone of height 12.

H: Proving that $f(x) = \frac{x^2}{1+\sin^2(1/x)},f(0)=0$ is continuous at $0$ I'm trying to prove that $$f\left(x\right)=\begin{cases} \frac{x^{2}}{1+\sin^{2}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}, & x\neq0\\ 0, & x=0 \end{cases}$$ is continuous at 0. I know that I should show that $$\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{x^{2}}{1+\sin^{2}\...
H: If H, N are normal subgroups of G, then do all the commutators lie in the intersection? Okay, I know that this is elementary, but, ah, well. How do I show that if N and H are normal subgroups of a finite group G with coprime orders, then, $xyx^{-1}y^{-1} \in H\cap N$ for all $x \in H, y \in N$? I figured that, if a...
H: If $a$ and $b$ are the roots of $0=3x^2+4x+9$, $(1+a)(1+b)$ can be expressed in the form $\large \frac uv$? $u$ and $v$ are co prime positive integers. What is the value of $u+v$? This seems like an easy problem, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. $f(x)=3x^2+4x+9$ $f(x)=(x-a)(x-b)$ $f(-x)=(x+a)(x+b)$ $f(...
H: Why don't the roots of this characteristic equation correspond to the given solution of this 2nd order ODE? I am asked to solve $$ y'' + 9y = 6\mathrm{sin}(3x) $$ using the method of undetermined coefficients. The characteristic equation of this 2nd order ODE is $$ \lambda^2 + 9\lambda = 0 $$ and its roots are $0$ ...
H: Understanding summation decreasing index I'me following some summation examples and I came to this situation $$|4-4| + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} |4\cdot0.1^n| = -4+4\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} 0.1^n$$ How do they get to the last result? I thought that $|-4+4|=0$ and decreasing the index should become $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |4\cdot...
H: Limit as $x\to 0$ of $x\sin(1/x)$ How to find limit as $x \to 0$ of $x\sin(1/x)$? For $x^2\sin(1/x)$, I know it's $0$ since by the Squeeze theorem, $-x^2 \le x^2\sin(1/x) \le x^2$, but for $x\sin(1/x)$, I run into some problems when applying Squeeze theorem. AI: To use the Squeeze Theorem, we do know that $0\leq|...
H: What is the relationship between the lengths of the binary and decimal representations of a number? If a is 1024 bits, then how many digits will its decimal representation have? AI: Bits are binary numerals. If you have an 8-bit numeral, say 10110001, that is exactly an 8-bit binary numeral. In fact "bit" is an a...
H: Winding number of image curve How many turns does $f(z) = z^{40} + 4$ make about the origin in the complex plane after one circuit of $|z| = 2$? AI: First, note that your curve is homotopic to the image of $|z|=2$ under $g(z)=z^{40}$ in $\mathbb C\backslash 0$. (Draw a picture if you aren't convinced.) Because the ...
H: Does $\Gamma$ intersect $SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ transversely at $I$? Identify the space of all $2 \times 2$ real matrices with $\mathbb{R}^4$ so that the matrix $\left( \begin{array}{cc} a & b\\ c & d\end{array} \right)$ corresponds to $(a, b, c, d)$. Let $\Gamma$ denote the hyperplane in $\mathbb{R}^ 4$ with equation ...
H: Possibility of a number line that has variable density. In my real analysis class, I have been informed that if you have a continuous line say $[0,1]$, and you do a mapping say $A\to B$ such that any element in $A$ is equal to $B^2$, where $A$ is every element in $[0,1]$ you would ultimately get a line that is den...
H: The index of nilpotency of a nilpotent matrix Let $A$ a matrix in $\mathcal{M}_5(\mathbb C)$ such that $A^5=0$ and $\mathrm{rank}(A^2)=2$, how prove that $A$ is nilpotent with index of nilpotency $4$? Thanks in advance. AI: In the followings I'll use only words, but you should visualize the matrices I mention. Jo...
H: First derivative of holomorphic function I want to prove that $ |f'(z)| \le \frac{1}{1-|z|}$ where $f:B(0,1) \rightarrow B(0,1)$ is a holomorphic function. My idea was to use Cauchy's integral formula. The fact that $||f||\le 1$ might be helpful too. But I don't see how to get this $1-|z|$? AI: It is rather easy to...
H: Taylor or Maclaurin series for the factorial function? I am new to Taylor/Maclaurin series and want to know if there is a series representation for the factorial function? AI: If you mean the standard factorial function $!:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}$, a Taylor series cannot exist because $\mathbb{N}$ has no ac...
H: If F is a finite field, then $F^*$ is cyclic and $F=\Bbb{Z}_p(\alpha)$ for some $\alpha$. From Galois Theory (Rotman): If F is a finite field, then $F^*$ [which is the multiplicative group] is cyclic and $F=\Bbb{Z}_p(\alpha)$ for some $\alpha$. Proof If $|F|=q$, take $\alpha$ to be a primitive (q-1)st root of uni...
H: How to max $f(D)$ over the space where matrix $D$ is diagonal? I want to maximize some function $f(D).$ Obviously if there is no constraints, I can just form matrix $G$ by $G(D)_{ij} = \frac{\partial f(D)}{\partial D_{ij}}$ and solve $G(D) = 0$ for D. However, if D is subject to constraints, for example D has {p,...
H: Normal Distribution and a Discrete Amount From what I understand about normal distribution is that you make a discrete number continuous by adding .5 which every way the question asks for. What if you were to have a discrete number with a set amount you cannot have half of. Would you keep it discrete? Ex) say ther...
H: Small question regarding subspaces of order topology When looking at $Y:=\left(0,1\right)\cup\left\{ 2\right\} $ with the subspace topology induced by the order topology on $\mathbb{R}$ one immediately sees that $2$ is an isolated point of $Y$. Contrary to that, according to another thread I saw here when you loo...
H: Power set and set of all mappings I'm working with the Terence Tao's Analysis book. And I have a question in the part of set theory. As power set axiom, Tao use the set of all function: "If X, and Y be sets. Then there exist a set which consist of all the functions from X to Y." Using that axiom and the replaceme...

H: Cardinality of tautologies for propositional logic I'm wondering how many tautologies there are in propositional logic. I'm thinking that it must be at least countable, since ($P_{1} \wedge P_{2} \wedge \cdots P_{n}) \models P_{i}$ should be a tautology for any natural number $n$ and any $i \in \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, w...
H: Check the convergence of the series of matrices $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} ( 1/ k^2 ) A ^k $$ where A =\begin{bmatrix}-1 & 1 \\ 0 & -1 \end{bmatrix} AI: Hints. Let $J=\pmatrix{0&1\\ 0&0}$.

H: Does $S(x) = x+1$ always hold in Peano arithmetic? In some books, they seem to implicitly say that $S(x) = x+1$ holds always in Peano arithmetic. But does it really hold in all cases, even in non-standard ones? The standard model of course satisfies this, but non-standard ones don't seem obvious. Also, in Peano ari...
H: Solve for the domain of x Solve for the domain of x $$y=\sqrt{\text{Cos}\left[x^2\right]}\tag1$$ my answer:where is wrong? $\text{Cos}\left[x^2\right]\geq 0$, so $x^2\in [2k \pi -\pi /2,2k \pi +\pi /2]\Rightarrow x\in \left[\sqrt{2k \pi -\pi /2},\sqrt{2k \pi +\pi /2}\right]$ The answer in my book a little strange...

H: Confusion about Spec of quotient ring Consider the ring $A := \dfrac{\mathbb C[x]}{(x(x-1)(x-2))}$. According to some sources (cf. Vakil) $sp(Spec (A))$ should be just the three points $\{0,1,2\}.$ It seems right, because $A$ is the ring of regular functions on these three points. However, I have the impression tha...
H: Product of two compact spaces is compact I read the proof that uses tube lemma and I do not have any problem with it but I cannot see what is wrong with the proof that first came to my mind: Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact spaces. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an open covering of $X\times Y$. Then, $\bigcup_{U\in \mathcal{A}}{U...
