what rational and irrational numbers?
A rational number is one that is the ratio (a/b) of two whole numbers. Examples are 3 = 3/1, 0.5 = 1/2, and -15.5 = -31/2. An irrational number is a number that is not rational.

It can give you a deeper insight into how math works. But I'm surprised you're proving that in hs

Don't you want to know why?

I know already the epsilon-delta definition, but I'm still not getting many steps of that
little vine
It's awkward at first
But once you do a epsilon delta proof a thousand times it gets better
Is there a step you need explained?
neat lintel
I'm not understanding why in the first step he puts it as minor than epsilon/2
river moon
you could use regular epsilon
since epsilon is arbitrary you can define a new epsilon $\epsilon = \frac{\varepsilon}{2}$
fathom swallowBOT
Transparent_Elemental
river moon
and that'll still work
neat lintel
lmao epsilon is cursed
round plaza
The point is that epsilon/2 + epsilon /2 = epsilon, which is more elegant than bounding it by 2 epsilon.
river moon
yeah, if you bound it by 2 epsilon you can define new epsilon to account for that multiplier
neat lintel
Ok then I understand some better now
Although those formal definition and proofs exercises are so boring
Is this stuff used later on? Or it's just formal exercises to define the limit, then I can forget about them
little vine
It depends what you go on to do

it's used in a whole lot of proofs of important theorems

round plaza
I personally probably use techniques from epsilon delta proofs more for my work than most other topics in mathematics
tall minnow
but is it really important to prove this property of limits?
It's completely trivial.
But if you can't even prove it, you can't hope to handle any theorems or results built on calculus
Once you get a good mental picture (like 1 year into analysis), you can start to skip these boring routines. Indeed higher math books leave exercises to the readers so that they can save space and focus on just key points.
But as my advisor says, someone may call or ask you to explain the boring routines, and you better be able to explain them.

Can I ask some information about limits?
bleak sail
Yes
neat lintel
My book does this thing
In which occasions it's necessary to specify if the result of a limit is l+ or l-
For example
the lim of x->+inf of 1/xĀ² should be 0+
Although there's some odd cases where it's neither of the two, but the limit still exists
like this. It's neither 0+ or 0- , it's just 0
frigid matrix
So if a function is approaching a limit but decreasing or increasing?
Atleast intuitively thats how it seems
But this isnāt necessarily true so nevermind
f(x) being in that range means that it can only approach from the top half

maths philo moment
idk what would you say your stance on maths philo is to begin with
rose galleon
Personally, mine is an abstract take, that it is about the overall structure of the study vs any particular application of it.
For anyone curious, this is a continuation of a discussion happening in the Physics discord server, where I asked:
I'm curious what you all think about calling mathematics "patronology," from the Greek word for pattern, "ĻĪ±ĻĻĻĪ½." It is essentially "the study of patterns," as a rough/direct translation.
I feel like a lot of students in mathematics don't understand the "big picture" of what mathematics is about, since the name itself doesn't carry much meaning to someone studying the subject. Patronology carries a bit more information and etymology of what is actually being pursued: understanding of the patterns governing a topic/study.
We have had a very healthy conversation there, and I'm curious what viewpoints the good people of this server might offer. I asked a very broad question, and so naturally I expect a very broad set of viewpoints and perspectives.
vast cipher
changing the name of something doesnt change what it is
rose galleon
Correct, it's more of a clarification as to what is being studied and pursued.
vast cipher
well ppl in chill are lazy
idk if you will get a lot of good responses here
id also gamble you will get less imaginative or thoughtful responses from math people in general
rose galleon
Then I will wait for some good feedback (:

i think this falls into an analogous situation with "what should we call the philippines"

I disagree with calling mathematics the study of patterns
For that to be true youād have to stretch the meaning of pattern to a point where it barely carries information
Sure patterns have their place but I wouldnāt call all of mathematics the study of them
Plus I donāt think changing the name would achieve what youāre saying anyway
Im also wondering why do you think a lot of students donāt understand the ābig pictureā of mathematics and how you would describe said picture

In general, I think of a pattern as some structure with an identifiable set of parameters which are themselves applicable to the structure in question.
And those parameters may/may not be operations

neat frost
LASAGNA
deep mango
The others come up less often but they still come up
neat frost
Well, L^2, L^1, and L^infinity are all really important
Why L^2?
deep mango
For example, when you're studying nonlinear PDEs, you run into many situations where your PDE either represents the process of minimizing the L^p norm of a function satisfying some constraints (for a particular p) or where your PDE conserves some L^p norm as time moves
deep mango
Why L^2?
The L^2 norm comes from an inner product, and inner products are very important
neat frost
Ohhh yeah
deep mango
Keep in mind that the L^2 norm is just the integral form of the pythagorean theorem in R^n
(the euclidean distance formula)
neat frost
Right right
deep mango
L^2 is the space where you can study "angles" between functions, and more accurately, projections of one function onto others
neat frost
Mmm right this be throwing me back to LA

And hence it's the space where you can do stuff like fourier analysis, regression, and a lot of other stuff

You can use \gobble (\def\gobble#1{}), but hereās the issue: itās a FUCKING SPACE. The \gobble will gobble the fucking h, not the space (since tokenization for macros ignores spaces)! And futureletting again gets the fucking space again

Maybe you could use futurelets somehow, since you know they can find spaces
neat frost
They detect them, but they donāt gobble them
neat frost
Oh I have an idea
Hell yeah
So instead of gobbling after the space, use an identity macro (\def\identity#1{#1}) since itāll ignore the space

that's pretty simple, i'm definitely overthinking it, one more then before i'm assured, do you use spaced repetition for practice problems? that sounds stupid but trust me answering will help a lot

- Read book
- Try problems
- Watch video (if still confused)
- Try problems
- Repeat steps 1-3 (with different books/videos) until I understand.
- Revist later once partially forgotten and repeat steps 1-5 (usually leaving with a deeper level of understanding)

do you guys think math tutors are useful?
leaden torrent
do you use spaced repetition for practice problems?
no
maybe it helps but i think those pedagogy/study motivation/whatever things are all dumb (and lowkey ableist but thats besides the point)
people spend too much time worrying about how they study rather than just opening a book and working
and you do need to work, to be clear
passive reading is not learning
if you get caught up somewhere, go to office hours

Spaced repetition would be useful if you wanted to memorise the answers. However typically we want to learn how to make answers, not regurgitate ones from years ago.
