This post is a first step towards integrating the information transfer versions of the IS-LM model and the quantity theory. We'll begin with one of the basic equations from the information transfer framework: $$ P = \frac{1}{\kappa}\frac{Q^d}{Q^s} $$ In the LM market, we have aggregate demand represented by $NGDP$ as a...
Prologue: The big $O$ notation is a classic example of the power and ambiguity of some notations as part of language loved by human mind. No matter how much confusion it have caused, it remains the choice of notation to convey the ideas that we can easily identify and agree to efficiently. I totally understand what big...
Let $X \subset \mathbb R^n$, $f:X\to\mathbb R^m$, $x_0\in X$ Assumption: All partial derivatives of f at $x_0$ exist and are continuous $\Rightarrow$ f is differentiable at $x_0$. $\Rightarrow D_vf(x_0)=\nabla f(x_0)\cdot v$ (assuming $m=1$ for simplicity) Which means that all directional derivatives of f at $x_0$ can ...
The easiest way to find a differential equation that will provide wavefunctions as solutions is to start with a wavefunction and work backwards. We will consider a sine wave, take its first and second derivatives, and then examine the results. The amplitude of a sine wave can depend upon position, \(x\), in space, \[ A...

Could anyone recommend a method for the following least-squares problem: find $R \in \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3}$ that minimizes: $\sum\limits_{i=0}^N (Rx_i - b_i)^2 \rightarrow \min$, where $R$ is a unitary (rotation) matrix.

Your intuition is correct. The factor $A$ changes with temperature. This article details how the value of $\ce{A}$ for an elementary, bimolecular reaction between $\ce{P}$ and $\ce{Q}$ can be derived to be: $$A_{\ce{PQ}}=N_\ce{P}N_\ce{Q}d^2_{\ce{PQ}}\sqrt{\frac{8k_\mathrm{B}T}{\mu}}$$ The RHS is clearly a function of t...

It should be: "$f:R\to R'$ is a ring homomorphism". Otherwise this is not true. Indeed, if $f$ is not a ring homomorphism then $f(ab)\neq f(a)f(b)$ for some $a,b\in R$. It is clear that $\varphi(ab)\neq\varphi(a)\varphi(b)$ as well where $a,b$ are now treated as polynomials of degree $0$. Note that for polynomial $r$ o...
It is certainly not required but usually one writes a weighted sum of probability density functions where the sum of the weights equals 1. In your example the sum of the weights is $\sqrt{\pi}$.

In my textbook, it's stated that: When $\epsilon < -1$, demand is elastic and raising price will result in smaller income, while lowering price will result in bigger income. When $\epsilon = -1$, demand is neither elastic nor inelastic and change in price won't result in change in income. When $\epsilon > -1$, demand i...
The intensity of light (as calculated from time average of the poynting vector) is given by $I = (1/2) \epsilon v E_0^2$. Here the intensity is dependent on the velocity of light in the medium. The refractive index also depends on the velocity of light. So is it safe to say that the intensity of light depends on the re...
I will refer to Qiaochu's excellent answer here as proof that if we define $$f(N):=\sum\limits_{n=0}^N n^2$$ then $f$ is a polynomial of degree $3$.

In layman's terms: First let's start with the Fourier series, a method that Fourier wrote for the first time in a paper about heat diffusion modelling.

You can usually view the cost function as the average squared error over some dataset with $N$ pairs of data, thus being defined as: \begin{align}J &= \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^{N} \left(f(x_i,\beta) - y_i \right)^2\end{align} We want the average error of our model (for all data we have) to decrease as we fine tune values...

Since I apparently can't seem to sit down and write anything that isn't on a blog, I thought I'd create a few posts that I will edit in real time (feel free to comment) until I can copy and paste them into a document to put on the arXiv and/or submit to the economics e-journal (H/T to Todd Zorick for helping to motivat...
Earlier this semester, we saw how to approximate a function \(f (x, y)\) by a linear function, that is, by its tangent plane. The tangent plane equation just happens to be the (\(1^{\text{st}}\)-degree Taylor Polynomial of \(f\) at \((x, y)\), as the tangent line equation was the (\(1^{\text{st}}\)-degree Taylor Polyno...
Very well, this is really more of a mathematics than a physics post, but so what. Besides, equations of this nature do pop up in physics problems from time to time. Question (variants of which often appear on Quora): How do you solve the equation, \(x^a=b^x\)? Equations of the type $$x^a=b^x$$ do not usually have solut...
I came across John Duffield Quantum Computing SE via this hot question. I was curious to see an account with 1 reputation and a question with hundreds of upvotes.It turned out that the reason why he has so little reputation despite a massively popular question is that he was suspended.May I ... @Nelimee Do we need to m...
Nagoya Mathematical Journal Nagoya Math. J. Volume 194 (2009), 91-147. The absolute Galois group of the field of totally $S$-adic numbers Abstract For a finite set $S$ of primes of a number field $K$ and for $\sigma_{1}, \dots, \sigma_{e} \in \operatorname{Gal}(K)$ we denote the field of totally $S$-adic numbers by $K_...
The rates of diffusion of two gases $\ce{A}$ and $\ce{B}$ are in the ratio $1:4$. If the ratio of their masses present in the mixture is $2:3$, the ratio of their mole fraction is? My tries: $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{1}{4}=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}\to\frac{1}{16}=\frac{M_2}{M_1}$, $M_i$ is molar mass of $i$. Also given $\fra...
Third, since $\sf{L} \subseteq \sf{NC}^2$, is there an algorithm to convert any logspace algorithm into a parallel version? It can be shown (Arora and Barak textbook) given a $t(n)$-time TM $M$, that an oblivious TM $M'$ (i.e. a TM whose head movement is independent of its input $x$) can construct a circuit $C_n$ to co...
I've become confused about spherical coordinates when dealing with electric fields. The way I always understood spherical coordinates is something like the below picture. To define a vector, you give it a distance outwards (r), and two angles to get a final position. Below, the $\theta$ and $\phi$ components are measur...
For simplicity, in the following we set the electric charge $e=1$ and consider a lattice spinless free electron system in an external static magnetic field $\mathbf{B}=\nabla\times\mathbf{A}$ described by the Hamiltonian $H=\sum_{ij}t_{ij}c_i^\dagger c_j$, where $t_{ij}=\left | t_{ij} \right |e^{iA_{ij}}$ with the corr...

X-ray protein crystallography is a technique by which it is possible to determine the three dimensional positions of each atom in a protein. Now over 100 years old, x-ray crystallography was first used to determine the three dimensional structures of inorganic materials, then small organic molecules, and finally macrom...
This is not really an answer to your question, essentially because there isn't (currently) a question in your post, but it is too long for a comment. Your statement that A co-ordinate transformation is linear map from a vector to itself with a change of basis. is muddled and ultimately incorrect. Take some vector space...
