What have you read?

[ocean harbor]

kyoufufufufufuuu

[dense vigil]

I liked abstract algebra a lot

[ocean harbor]

algebra 1

[dense vigil]

by?

[ocean harbor]

its a textbook

i forgor the name tho

[dense vigil]

Alr imma go do some physics now

adios amigo

[ocean harbor]

lmao im trolling u

[dense vigil]

?

[ocean harbor]

which book is this?

[dense vigil]

bro thats a standard graduate level text

you cant be serious

[ocean harbor]

ik that

but i am making sure if u actually answered this

[dense vigil]

bro i gotta do hw

Dummit & Foote

In my opinion I feel like like the text contains too much prose while it hides important results in exercises.

What about u tho

[ocean harbor]

here are some books im reading so far and they are still not completed

1. linear algebra by richard bronson
2. understanding analysis by abbott
3. intro to topo by robert everist
4. intro to graph theory by douglas b. west

their book covers if ur curious

[dense vigil]

i liked Linear Algebra 4th edition by Friedburg i hadnt read bronson

[ocean harbor]

cool

[dense vigil]

how was it

[ocean harbor]

how was what

[dense vigil]

i heard it was mediocore at best

bronsons linear algebra

[twin flicker]

i like ai thats not llm

i like llms too tho

[ocean harbor]

I have not finished this book yet

[dense vigil]

linear algebra by richard bronson

ight bro

[ocean harbor]

what is llm

[dense vigil]

this has to be ragebait ngl

u just said u read itg

u got me ngl

[twin flicker]

large language model

[dense vigil]

imma dip now

[twin flicker]

like chatgpt

etc

claude

[ocean harbor]

i said in process which means uncompleted

[ocean harbor]

bye thanks for nothing lol

[dense vigil]

in the process means u are currently reading it brochacho

but ight

[ocean harbor]

well i havent finished it

[dense vigil]

u just said u never read it

[ocean harbor]

also i sometimes forget which author im reading

[dense vigil]

[ocean harbor]

yeah bc i didnt read what i wrote

so i had to send the covers

[dense vigil]

😔

yeah ur the man

imma go now have a good one

#math-discussion message

[reef carbon]

@snow helm so tell me then

how exactly do you expect me to react in a non-rude way to the following situation:

i give the OP of a help channel a question that's related to theirs but simpler, with the express purpose of seeing if they can do it.

to get a reading on their, the OP's, skill level.

and then someone else jumps in and solves it for them, which completely defeats the purpose.

[snow helm]

atleast shoo them away by telling them how to get to #❓how-to-get-help right?

or whatever you deem necessary

[round siren]

guess what

[snow helm]

wasnt reported to you

@reef carbon i wasnt here to disturb/rattle you, continue on with the helpee

i wont interrupt again

[round siren]

what

[reef carbon]

i want made to disturb/rattle you

come again?

[snow helm]

and i never liked your attitude

[snow helm]

typo

[reef carbon]

yeah idk how to fix the typo

[round siren]

hows that a typo

[reef carbon]

tell me what you meant

[snow helm]

fr

[round siren]

oh gorgeous typo

[reef carbon]

pray tell what makes you not like my attitude

[snow helm]

now thats what up in your brain

to comrehend it

[reef carbon]

oh yeah, because someone expressing a dislike of "my attitude" means it's on me to telepathically figure out wtf im doing wrong and not the complainer to clearly communicate to me what they dont like.

got it.

(sarcasm)

[snow helm]

ok now help and waste your time with whoever doest know what to do in math

like .5+.5=?

sarcasm too haha

[ocean harbor]

[daring scarab]

guys im really sorry to interrupt, but i really wasnt aware what was she doing, i was here with calculus problems which i had doubt in. i apologise for what i did there. im so sorry and i'll make sure i wont do it agn

[round siren]

yeah dw none of this is against you

i mean we'd take issue if you hadnt literally just joined

[snow helm]

well leave her

she is a hot headed person ngl

[daring scarab]

im really sorryy tho

[reef carbon]

bro what are you talking about.

idk about you but like this sort of "idk any math" is something ive seen a bunch of times now and i know how to handle it

when a helpee cant self-report what skills they have or dont have (which is pretty often), i give them simple-ish questions to see what they're missing.

maybe they can do linear equations but trip up when there's fractions in there.

maybe they can do single-var equations but trip up when a second variable enters the picture.

maybe they struggle even with integer arithmetic.

there is a reason why i do things the way i do.

actually idk why i am yapping to someone who sounds like he will just not listen to me no matter what i say?

[snow helm]

yes

my MO is quite different to say.

[round siren]

bro's MO is to hand out solutions

[snow helm]

kinda and explain something comprehendable.

[round siren]

comprehensible*?

[ocean harbor]

if u dont have nice thing to say then u better just dont say anything at all

its simple

[latent bramble]

Guys PnC ruined my life

[reef carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/sick-burn-omg-owned-ooooo-gif-5565292

[cloud rover]

I'm sorry, but your MO involves handing out solutions? You are aware that this goes against the ethos of this server?

Like, we have !noans and !nosols for a reason

[mint canopy]

would you mind letting me know what was said here, in English?

[cloud rover]

...Right, so his attitude towards nosols goes against the core purpose of this server

[round siren]

the first translates more or less to 'i find this horrible fr, assholes slap you with a nosols'

second group of messages is about some other server hes on

[cloud rover]

"I'm in the JNT (server name?) but I've been timed out"?

[mint canopy]

So it's fair to say that they were using a different language to avoid moderators detecting their insults?

[cloud rover]

Or "there is a timeout atm"

[round siren]

i think its like a personal studying role or smth idk

[cloud rover]

ah

[reef carbon]

from the outside looking in, that's exactly what it looks like.

[round siren]

well i dont wanna say theyy did to avoid mods, couldve just did it cuz i know hindi

but its def insults yeah

[mint canopy]

OK, please ping mods next time this happens

[round siren]

if you say so

[mint canopy]

@snow helm This is not acceptable behaviour, and I can see that most of your activity on this server in the last day or so has been interrupting help channels. Please don't do so in the future. I'm going to ask you to take a day off.

[round siren]

[twilit kiln]

does anyone know a source where it shows a proof/derivation for the difference quotient itself (definition of derivative formula)?

[twin flicker]

wdym

[oblique kestrel]

How do you verify your answers when you're working through a book's exercises by yourself?

[zealous garden]

I see if I'm right

[sick parrot]

check the back of the book

[twilit kiln]

I don’t think what i’m asking for makes sense actually. i’m in calc one and having a hard time understanding what it really means, for instance, to subtract a function f(x) by f(x+h), I know that the math behind it works and the procedure is simple, I just want it to click in a visual/intuitive sense when considering something even as simple as x^2 and getting 2x from it. I want like, a graphical animated representation of everything going on.

[twin flicker]

do you know what a secant line is?

[twilit kiln]

yes

[twin flicker]

so at some point x you consider another point x + h

and then find the slope of the line connecting the two points

and now you want to reduce h such that it approaches 0

the result is the derivative

[junior turtle]

checks the back of the book
this book has no solutions in the back

[compact surge]

$\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x-h)}{2h}$ be like

[fathom swallow]

zora (meow meow :3)

[sick parrot]

slightly curiously i just noticed this one avoids evaluating f(x) so doesnt that mean the two definitions arent equivalent

[compact surge]

if f is a well behaved function this should work too

but then again f has to be well behaved in order to actually be differentiable

[compact surge]

it’s technically more accurate than the other definition

basically for a given value of h this achieves less error than the other one

[junior turtle]

nvm

[agile fiber]

but it also makes certain non-differentiable functions look differentiable

[compact surge]

how lol

i guess if f(x) is not defined

[agile fiber]

|x| at 0

[compact surge]

but every point around it is

[agile fiber]

symmetric difference quotient is zero for all h but obviously not differentiable

[compact surge]

ig if you exclude weird stuff like that

[zealous garden]

Cus the sdq is not continuous

[compact surge]

i mean it’s more practical if you wish to numerically calculate the derivative

[agile fiber]

yeah it's useful for calculations just not as a definition

[zealous garden]

It's arguably useful to have that value be 0 and not DNE

There's still information there

[compact surge]

if you were to assign f'(0) a value it would make sense as 0 imo

[zealous garden]

That turn-around is still an extrema

[compact surge]

it’s similar to like summing up divergent series

[junior turtle]

but there is no way to do that so that f'(0) exists is there?

bc the left and right limits arent equal

[compact surge]

if you use this definition with f(x) = abs(x)

and try derivative at x=0

[agile fiber]

in general it averages the left and right derivatives when they exist

but if you have some piecewise linear function where the slopes are not negatives of each other you would get that the derivative at the crossing point is the average of the two slopes

which could cause you to miss extrema

[compact surge]

ah

[agile fiber]

for differentiable functions its fine because the left and right derivatives are equal anyway. it just causes edge cases in non-differentiable functions which still have sided derivatives

And the ones that we do not love, who loves?

We love?

What?

What

[fringe dirge]

@light gate I mean, if I love a girl and she doesn't love me then if I don't love a girl, how does she love me?

[light gate]

what do you mean

[fringe dirge]

If I love her she doesnt loves me, then if I don't love her she loves me, then I reject her

That's what I mean

Gottem

[light gate]

"if (P and not Q), then (if not P, then Q)"?

what is your question

sure

[fringe dirge]

This is the answer to the question

[light gate]

no idea what you mean but okay

[uneven lily]

What makes you think the girl will love you if you don't like her

[uneven lily]

If you don't love girl mean you're gay

[fringe dirge]

No you are gay

[uneven lily]

My question is What makes you think the girl will love you if you don't like her?

[light gate]

Let $G={\text{girls}},P(g)=\text{I love g}'',Q(g)=\text{g loves me}''$

[fathom swallow]

Estelle

[light gate]

this is $\forall g\in G((P(g)\land\neg Q(g))\rightarrow(\neg P(g)\rightarrow Q(g)))$, taking ``then I reject her'' to be a thing that happens for all g after the first statement

[uneven lily]

Ok

Perfect, I was a little worried I messaged in the wrong one.

Not too bad, just some software stuff halting Uni progress.

[mint canopy]

@sick kite let's move here

did u see the k[[x]] thing?

[sick kite]

it should be the ideal generated by (x)

[mint canopy]

yeah u got it

[sick kite]

because a power series is invertible iff the leading coeff is invertible

so (x) has all the nonunits

and is also an ideal

[mint canopy]

Do you wanna see a fun generalisation of this, just for shits and giggles?

[sick kite]

the last fun generalisation i saw of k[[x]] was in fact not fun

but shoot

[mint canopy]

Oh what was it?

[sick kite]

gimme a moment to look through the notes lol

strictly speaking this was an example of a non commutative division ring

[mint canopy]

Ah ok that's fine that's fine

This is something else

Weyl algebra?

[sick kite]

I have looked at this only very briefly

please explain

[mint canopy]

Nah nah it's fine, I'll just tell you about this commutative thing

So first quick change of perspective on k[[x]]

You could specify an element of k[[x]] by specifying its image in k[[x]]/(x), k[[x]]/(x^2), k[[x]]/(x^3) etc

and these things are just k[x]/(x^n) themselves, right

Savvy?

[sick kite]

Yes I am getting it so far

[mint canopy]

Alright so

the only restriction here, for a sequence of images in k[x]/(x^n), is that they be consistent wrt quotienting even further

so if we have a sequence that is consistent in this manner, we get an element of k[[x]]

I'm sure this seems very obvious to you

[sick kite]

im following so far

[mint canopy]

Great

Now instead of k[x] I'm gonna use Z

[sick kite]

same thing

[mint canopy]

and instead of x I'm gonna just choose some number p > 0, p for later

Now a 'consistent' sequence of elements of Z/(p), Z/(p^2), etc

we can form a ring of these things

These are the p-adic integers

Z_p

Very simple definition, right?

[sick kite]

gimme a moment

[mint canopy]

Don't expect to immediately understand what these look like

But the idea is that the collection of all these "approximations" in Z/(p^n) tells us exactly how to do everything in this ring Z_p

in the same way it worked for k[[x]]

[sick kite]

i can understand this bit, i'm just struggling to 'see' what an element of Z_p should look like

[mint canopy]

Here's a trick

let's say p = 10

Then something mod 10 is just a single digit, say 1.

Something mod 10^2 is two digits, say 21

And the last digit must be consistent with what I claimed it was before

And so on: 121 mod 10^3, 2121 mod 10^4, etc

Now what might be a convenient way to represent all of this information at once?

[sick kite]

right

[snow helm]

@flat kite man why did you message me? anything to convey/inform of significance?

[mint canopy]

Well, perhaps to you it feels perverse, but to me it seems very natural to simply write this as all the digits at once, in a sort of infinite decimal expansion

like ...212121

[sick kite]

well if the pattern continues, 12121 mod 10^5, 212121 mod 10^6 and so on, we can use bar notation as in infinite decimals

like \bar{21}

[mint canopy]

Yeah exactly!

And this is in fact how people write these numbers, sometimes with a subscript p after it

[sick kite]

or 0.\bar{12] perhaps

[mint canopy]

Well, I would prefer to write it so that \bar{21} == 21 mod 100

but yeah

And the neat part is this

You already know how to calculate with these things

[sick kite]

by cutting off mod p^n and doing the calculation in Z/p^n

presumably

[mint canopy]

Exactly!

like, what about the number 100 := ...000000100

let's say x := ...2121212121

What's 100 * x?

Since you already know how decimal stuff works for the naturals, you know it's = ...21212100

So 100x + 21 = x

Interesting, hm? looks like x plays the role of -21/99. Kinda strange maybe.

I won't tell you all the details because it's very fun to try and figure out what these rings look like

[sick kite]

no this is cool, I appreciate it

[mint canopy]

but I will tell you this: if p is a prime, then Z_p is a local ring with prime ideal (p)

[sick kite]

I think this is quite relevant in the bit of maths i want to end up doing

i remember watching a frank calegari video where he talked about how the big project in number theory is figuring out what the fuck Gal(\bar{Q_p}/Q_p) is

[mint canopy]

Some things to think about

• What's the characteristic of Z_p?
• Show Z_p^n = Z_p
• Recall the chinese remainder theorem and use this to find out exactly when Z_p is a domain

[mint canopy]

Yessss local global stuff is huge

I feel lucky that I got to show you these for the first time

[sick kite]

haha

[mint canopy]

But like, isn't it cool how these things are really not hard to write down? I think it's great

[sick kite]

I'm going to have to think quite hard to demistify them, icl i was putting learning about Z_p off because it looked hard

but I'll reread this convo a few times and hopefully come back with answers

[mint canopy]

Hell yeah man

Don't fear the p-adics!!

[sick kite]

They will actually be covered in my number theory course in term 1

at least a little

[mint canopy]

That's pretty cool

[sick kite]

so i look forward to snoozing through lectures

[mint canopy]

Oh you

[sick kite]

yeah, looks super good. they build up to showing u local global principle

wow i love number theory

[mint canopy]

I'm very happy for u

[sick kite]

Thanks man : )

I appreciate having you here

where would i be without ur help honestly

[mint canopy]

Frankly swift?

Very much the same place

[sick kite]

I'm not so sure

[sick kite]

oh we can formalise this notion of agreeing through the 3rd (??) iso theorem. if we consider k[x] as a module over itself, we have nested submodules (x^i) \subset (x^j) \subset k[x] (i<j). Then, if we consider the canonical surjection k[x] -> k[x]/(x^j), we can factor this through k[x]/(x^i) by f + (x^i) -> f + (x^j), this being well defined because of the nesting. so our representations stay the same (or agree) when we expand our ring in this way

[mint canopy]

Yeah that's exactly right

Of course this is a detail you have to kind of elide once you're working with the actual object, but yes it's the 3rd (or whatever number) iso that allows us to do this

[sick kite]

oh and it wasn't the weyl algebra, the construction was like this: given a field k, consider the field of laurent series k((x)) and an automorphism \sigma: k \to k. Instead of defining multiplication in k((x)) in the obvious way, we define xb = \sigma(b)x, b \in k. denote this monstrosity by k((x; \sigma)). apparently, this gives a non commutative division ring. its particularly curious in the case k = C, \sigma = complex conjugation, because then it gives an infinite dim division algebra over R (we had just proved the classification of finite dim division algebras over R)

anyway i hate algebra

[mint canopy]

ohhh a twisted thing ok sure

interesting

I don't know much about inf-dim division algebras, but there is nice theory about finite-dim ones

[sick kite]

it reminds me of the semidirect product construction for whatever reason

[zealous garden]

Infinite division algebra over R?

[sick kite]

infinite dimensional

[zealous garden]

Finite dimension wins again

[mint canopy]

yeah that would be fair

[sick kite]

yep there's only 3

lol

[zealous garden]

4

[mint canopy]

nono that's over R! Over other fields there are many more

There are infinitely many up to isomorphism for Q, for example

But the R case is nice too

[sick kite]

oh sorry i meant to reply to this oops

i don't know shit about the theory over other fields

[zealous garden]

And all of them are Kingdon Algebras

[sick kite]

oh curious

[zealous garden]

All algebraic number fields are rational division algebras of finite dimension

[mint canopy]

And get this swift... they're classified by a number-theoretic invariant

[sick kite]

oh yum

[mint canopy]

indeed

[sick kite]

i can't wait to get to this

this is why i hated the non comm algebra course i took. like obviously no one does algebra by itself, people do other things and algebra falls out

[zealous garden]

I need non commutative algebra

All my algebras are non commutative

Except like, C or Λ+(V)

[sick kite]

i recall some frank calegari video where he talks about langlands and about how zeta(-1/2) =0 somehow corresponds to prime factorisation in Z and how zeta(-1) or something corresponds ot the order of the brauer group of something being 24

it was probably the same video

what a good video

[sick kite]

i wouldnt recommend it but each to their own

[zealous garden]

What else do you suggest I use for my non commutative algebras

[sick kite]

i suggest u do something more fun

: )

[zealous garden]

Not possible

My Geometric Algebras are not commutative, and it doesn't get more fun than that

[sick kite]

Well I've done a little bit of thinking. My inital thought for the question of the characteristic of Z_p is as follows:

It's clear that the multiplicative identity in Z_p is ...0001. This is because the multiplicative identity (call it e) is such that e = 1 (p^n) because we need it to be the multiplicative identity for 'finite' p-adics, and this multiplication happens essentially in Z/(p^m) for some m.

So now we consider 1 + ... + 1 = 0 (1 denotes the mult. identity in Z_p). We know that if the above holds, then 1 + ... + 1 = 0 in Z/(p^n). We know that the characteristic of a ring R is the natural n such that Z/nZ = R. So, the characteristic (if it is finite) is simultaneously p^n for all n, a contradiction. so char Z_p = 0

i didn't do a great job explaining myself

whatver its 0

[mint canopy]

Yeah exactly, it's divisible by p^n for all n

So it must be 0

[sick kite]

thats the sentence i was looking for

lol

[mint canopy]

Nice one!

[sick kite]

for the second part (showing that Z_p^n = Z_p), the argument should go someway along the lines of the 3rd iso theorem. I see this should work intuitively because we specify that our representation agrees with higher powers

i should really formalise this

but oh well

[vivid halo]

you mean Gal(\bar{Q}/Q)

we know plenty about local fields just fuck all about number fields

[sick kite]

maybe. i really have no idea about anything and am still crawling in this world

[astral smelt]

Hey dudes im trying to figure something out

Im an engineer working in electromagnetics and I need to learn more about complex variables/functions and residues

Are there typically uni courses that provide an intro to these topics?

In my area its just kinda thrown at you on the fly without any of the pre reqs for my courses discussing the matter

I've seen a few that fit the bill but they seem to really stress a background with an advanced calculus course

Which is fine

[hoary adder]

Mathematics

it is a fundamental concept that impacts the galaxy?

[rocky shuttle]

electrical engineering students in my uni usually take an introductory course on complex analysis, no idea about your/other unis though

[zealous garden]

Guess I need to study clifford analysis huh

[astral smelt]

Yeah im at Umich and it looks like they have this

It just really stresses taking advanced calc 1

[zealous garden]

Hodge decompositions generalize helmholtz decompositions?

[astral smelt]

Which is heavily proof based and I just have never had a course with formal proofs before

So its kinda scary

Im taking a more computationally based PDE intro course now and thats been really fun

[rocky shuttle]

well, "advanced calc 1" sounds like a good intro to proofs though

[astral smelt]

Yeah the description of the course just makes it seem really scary

"This is one of the hardest undergrad math courses, commit bitches" basically

Which is fine since im working while pursuing a master's im doing just one course at a time

For the first year

So now would be the time to do it

[upper lotus]

Nah this is definitely a 5-10 minute question
At least at an undergrad intro to proofs course level

[upper lotus]

That’s pretty close how’d you get that

[tardy fractal]

7m+7n=7(m+n):5 = m+n (mod 5)

• a good start?

5 and 7 are coprime, if I remember correctly

[upper lotus]

It’s 7^m+7^n

[tardy fractal]

Ah...this is where I made a mistake. Well, my mind is retarded sometimes

[worn ice]

someone explain this question :Find the integral of 1/(1+tan^6000(x)) from 0 to π/2

[upper lotus]

Yeah so that works for 5 | 7m+7n

[worn ice]

is it the hardest?

[upper lotus]

That one integral equivalent to RH prolly harder ngl

Significantly so

Skibidi

[worn ice]

ill take that as a yes

[upper lotus]

It’s not that hard Brodie

[tardy fractal]

To cut a long story short, these are the pairs:

(0,0), (1,4), (2,3), (3,4), (4,1)

So there are 5 valid pairs out of 25 possible pairs of residues.

Each residue appears exactly 20 times (since 100:5=20).

Then the probability is 5/25=1/5

[upper lotus]

Try u=(pi/2)-x

I got ragebaited

💔

[worn ice]

.

[tardy fractal]

Why?

I was the reason for this?

[upper lotus]

By them saying “is it the hardest”
I hate integration

I don’t like helping with integration problems

Ts boring

[upper lotus]

No

[upper lotus]

Yea ts right

[lavish kayak]

what's your current knowledge and where do you want to go?

[worn lintel]

my current knowledge is i know some derivatives algebra but do not know how that is useful and others my goal is to understand algebra and derivates

[cursive fossil]

try applying it in physics problems

[worn lintel]

u talking to me

?

[cursive fossil]

yes

[worn lintel]

alright i will try

iam currently doing bachelor in csit how about u ?

[cursive fossil]

in general related rates problems are an application for derivatives

hey thanks for the reply my frn

[cursive fossil]

have u heard about ramanujan the man who knew infinity

he got his ideas from god u agree on that tell me your point of view

if posssible

[cursive fossil]

yes

pi series came from a dream

i don't know how anyone would derive it though

[worn lintel]

crazy right

i wish some god helpp me like that lol

i mean everything ramanujan done with the help of god he says some thing like this

man there are some genius people out there

and here iam just a nobody

not smart

fucking stupid

[cursive fossil]

there were many geniuses who contributed to today's math

if you're studying derivatives you're studying mathematics that took hundreds of years to develop

and you understood it

you know how to do them

[worn lintel]

yeap

[worn lintel]

yes i kknow how to do them

[cursive fossil]

you're not nobody

[worn lintel]

jsut plain process no understandign

though

[cursive fossil]

that's all i'm trying to say

that's enough if you want to chase understanding

you just need to apply it

look at the visualization

[worn lintel]

so what should i do first physics

?

[cursive fossil]

yes

[worn lintel]

what u mean

?

[cursive fossil]

try looking at like what derivatives do on a graph

there are videos of it

[worn lintel]

okay

[cursive fossil]

try looking at the limit definition too

[worn lintel]

alright see u tommorrow frn

byee

[cursive fossil]

good luck

👋🏼

[lavish kayak]

Well, if you want to start understanding more derivatives and calculus, you can start with Spivak's calculus or any book that is calculus and not "real analysis".

For algebra it will be a bit hard, as the "next step" is a bit abstract, but you can try Coxeter's "geometry revisited" which will teach you geometry and some background to university algebra.

if the eigen value of a linear transformation is a complex number, then how can we visualise the transformation ?

[mint breach]

I was sure I closed the channel, Im very sorry that its staying up!

No I do not require any help

[sharp mulch]

There will be a rotational component

[junior veldt]

if it's a matrix with real entries, then there's a 2D subspace in which the action of the transformation looks like rotation + scaling

at least in an appropriate basis, which may not be orthonormal

there are lots of 2x2 real matrices with eigenvalues +- i that do not at all look like a rotation + scaling in the standard basis

[errant dagger]

Somehow got kicked out of my old account so had to make a new one

@indigo jungle you'll be forever missed

[faint light]

love ur pfp

so based

[true zinc]

Would the 2D subspace not have to be in C? Or would it look like rotation on R too?

[junior veldt]

it would look like rotation in R

[true zinc]

ahh oke

[junior veldt]

also hi tcc

[storm sage]

you can block diagonalize any real matrix (diagonalizable in complex numbers) into 1x1 and 2x2 components

the 2x2 components will be rotation/scaling

this works because the complex eigenvalues/vectors will just be conjugates of each other

[junior veldt]

do you mean normal real matrices

(those that commute with their transpose)

otherwise i think jordan blocks will stop you

[fresh comet]

[zealous garden]

Complex eigenvalues be like

[dry geyser]

yo

[storm sage]

I'm assuming the matrices are complex diagonalizable

[dry geyser]

can u guys help me with a doubt

[junior veldt]

i see

[zealous garden]

I don't really get complex eigenvalues either

[dry geyser]

hmm whats that

[zealous garden]

But I assume it has something to do with the skew symmetric maps defined by bivectors

[true zinc]

Ooooh that's really cool, thank you!

[storm sage]

yeah the trick is to take linear combos of the eigenvectors to get their real and imaginary parts, which will give you a 2D subspace spanned by two real vectors

that will still be an invariant subspace

Given the vastness of the universe, it seems likely intelligent life should exist elsewhere, yet we have no evidence of it. Why do you think we haven’t encountered signs of extraterrestrial life yet? Do you believe intelligent civilizations might deliberately avoid us, or that they may have already visited unnoticed?

Thoughts?

[burnt ledge]

We're not looking in the right place. Intelligent life exists in our oceans, and makes frequent contact with us, but we ignore their communications and attribute them to "extraterrestrial" life which doesn't exist. I believe there are possibly several dozen uncontacted maritime civilisations, a species I call pirates but of whose nature I am, I'm sure you'll understand, a little unsure.

[old oak]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Peoples

Also I like Douglas Adams's explaination that intelligent forms of life are intelligent enough not to let humans find out about them.

[barren anchor]

option 1. the universe is too big. The distance between planets is large, solar systems, exponentially larger, and galaxies yet another order of magnitude larger.

option 2. we assume faster than light travel exists, and we assume life has the same qualities everywhere.
It would still follow the patterns of biology - as soon as intelligent life evolves, intelligence is the superlative competitive advantage. It depletes all relevant resources around it exponentially, in the course of that depleting all other potentially evolving life of those resources. It is a destabilizing competitive advantage, which destroys the ecosystems, geological systems, weather patterns, every aspect of the environment, because the magnitude of the feedback from it's presence fundamentally disrupts the local environment. It tragedy of the commons the entire ecosystem, and suddenly no longer has the environment it is adapted for. It would probably ask itself fundamental questions about the purpose of birth rate, limitless growth, etc, as it grappled with it's own lack of fitness due to altering it's environment due to it's over-fitness to the previous environment. Probably way before it colonized more than a few solar systems. It would either destroy itself, or it would mature into a more stable pattern of development as a species, with advanced philosophies of ecology, environmentalism, anti-natalism, and genome stability. It may come out of that with some kind of enlightenment, which may include a complete absence of desire to engage with other species.

option 3. we assume faster than light travel exists, and that life does not have the same qualities everywhere
literally, who knows?

there are a lot of other options actually

like, for option 2

could be the dark forest hypothesis

(e.g. intelligence benefits from hiding from other intelligence, and instead just keeping total dominion over it's domain of non-intelligent environment)

[barren anchor]

ya this dark forest

I think it's far, far more likely that limitless growth is just something intelligence questions at some point

and as soon as you do that, even with faster-than-light travel, it's like eh

[old oak]

Let me quote Douglas Adams again:

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

[barren anchor]

it's a good quote

[hoary palm]

amazing quote right there

[barren anchor]

I'm kind of hoping the truth isn't just that self-destruction becomes guaranteed at some point

that's the darkest one imo

also honestly the most likely

you give everyone on the planet the supervirus, then what?

[old oak]

Nah, whatever about the last few years would have made this a plausible scenario

[barren anchor]

1 USD thank you planet nuking supervirus

it's just technology. Without cultural, philosophical, and honestly biological advancements keeping pace

what can be done?

we should all have 0 libido and extremely suppressed emotions

[hoary palm]

I mean cancer just wide spread could be termed as supervirus if it was widespread

[barren anchor]

but here we are, screaming about our balls and pointing at our nukes

[vocal vessel]

Meanwhile my freshman literature professor on the subject of dolphins being the only animal besides humans who have sex for pleasure:
"I don't want to be noodling up next to those big smiles..."

[barren anchor]

not in any way a biologist would understand

metaphorically I guess.

[hoary palm]

Yeah I read some... dark stuff of those fancy dogs

[barren anchor]

the three body problem series is really good, cixin liu

it tries to understand the situation

oryx and crake, also good

[vast wraith]

i imagine he has this from john c. lily via alan watts, why do i think so? well: https://aliceffekt.bandcamp.com/album/superworker

[fresh comet]

[whole horizon]

idk messing with human nature without an extremely thorough understanding of the consequences seems highly questionable

but we do need less emotional leadership at the least

or leadership less susceptible to human foibles

[whole horizon]

also idk about you but i like having emotions

[sharp swan]

Arbitrary

[whole horizon]

?

[barren kettle]

human leadership needs emotion to work but they need to be well manged emotions

leadership requires a certain level of vulnerability

[dry nebula]

Whats maths all about

[fading shuttle]

hi discussy

[light gate]

oh what's the context

[supple falcon]

I’m going good I’m math

*In

[polar temple]

I don't believe it

It's not like weve discovered every species

Also what a strange conversation to stumble upon

[polar temple]

Also who is monitoring them like that

[flat harbor]

my code works now!!!!!!!!

[sharp mulch]

It will stop working in an hour

[lament mason]

Does anyone know how to do statics here?

[zealous garden]

Rub your feet on the carpet

[lament mason]

Not that statics 🥹

[zealous garden]

Unplug the RCF from the TV

[lament mason]

I mean the one that deals with forces acting on bodies in equilibrium..

[onyx mural]

Yes, what’s up?

I’m assuming in october you’re probably doing moments, equivalent systems, two force members etc?

[timid bronze]

@fresh comet Do we agree @velvet dagger has good handwriting

[fresh comet]

Dami's handwriting is much better than mine

[jaunty ibex]

@junior veldt I read your blogs, they were a nice read

[storm sage]

idk... I bet it only looks like this because he writes slow

because he's a sloth

get it

[timid bronze]

No it's not dont lie to yourself

[timid bronze]

Good, i wish professors could write slow like him. I can't keep up!

[jaunty ibex]

How's everyone doing?

[ocean harbor]

im a bit annoyed bc I tried to go back to my app and I remembered that npm install takes ages

I think I broke my sleep schedule again

wbu

[livid night]

chat 2

im so hungry

[lament mason]

Right now we're just doing 3D vectors. Classes just started last week. I've been trying to figure out this problem for hours.

It's in the help forum

[dreamy gulch]

Hello

[velvet dagger]

LMAO that's my analysis prof's handwriting not mine

This person's handwriting is known to be a strain to read lmao

Though the prof is goated, this class (measure theory) was one of my top 3 favorite in undergrad

My handwriting is better when I'm writing slow and... Probably still better when I get rushed but is definitely rough
