What’s up
Was a mistake not made when calculating the sum of the first series?
C= 2/5, yeah.But according to the sum of the geometric series theorem, it would be (2/5)/(1-2/5)…
Isn’t it rather 10/15? We take reciprocal of 3/5 and get 2/5*5/3…
and what happens when you simplify 10/15?
Snap it’s late, thanks for the catch

Will parabola of type y = ax^2 + bx + c and line y = kx will always have a intersection (now matter what k ,a,b is )?? (a,b,k != 0)
it looks true to me . Based on intuition . What's your take to it ??
Can k be 0?
no
@floral cypress
yeah i'm here . I was analysing it . Thanks i missed this
,w graph y=x²+1 , y=x
hey but see y = x , always has 45 deg. from y axis. Whereas angle(wideness ) of parabola is always increasing wrt o y axis . So, don't you think these equations after very very large x , will intersect ??
@fluid obsidian
Nope
why ?
The slope of x² is 2x which after 1/2 will be > 1 pointwise
any parabola will always grow much faster than a line after a certain point
yeah and thats when they'll intersect. will they ?
That's why they won't
that means they can only intersect at fairly small x
The difference between them just increases

so six in tea and cof?
okay i got all of cofee now
ok so 5 + 7 + 1 = 13
25 - 13 = 12
Better name each set
Like coffee- Set A
wait ive done something wrong
oh mb
i see what i did wrong
i forgot about the middle

How do i differentiate 4/x^2?
$4 \times [\frac{1}{x^2};\frac{d}{dx}]$

$4 \times [x^{-2};\frac{d}{dx}]$
raonicalias
try from here
bad/wrong notation
what people
Using the constant multiple rule, [\frac{d}{dx}\Bigl(\frac{4}{x^2}\Bigr) = 4 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}\Bigl(\frac{1}{x^2}\Bigr)]

If W1 and W2 are subspace of space V
think about lines in R^2
indeed
Cuz like y=x and y=-x will have same dimension right
Yea
Also
Wait
If
A subspace of V
Has the same dimension as V
Then is it V itself
Feels like it shud be
yes
in general if W1 and W2 are subspace with equal dimension and one is a subspace of the other, then they are equal
In general as in?
There r exceptions?
in math, "in general" means always
or well not exactly "always" but you get the idea
maybe things break down in infinite dimensions, not sure tho
yeah fair enough
dimension is only something you really should consider in the finite case tho
Right
Also there's a thing I read
That if Ax=b, is consisten then b is in the column space of A
Column space is like the vector space spanned by all column vectors in A right
yes
Ok so why does b have to be in column space of A
Is there any like
Intuitive explanation
well Ax represent all linear combinations of the columns of A
first column*x_1 + second column*x_2 + ...
and that's exactly the space spanned by the columns
so b should be in that space
I'm having trouble seeing how Ax is all linear combinations of columns of A
A is like a linear transformation in itself
Which works on x
First columns first element into x1 right?
?
Ax = (first column of A)*x_1 + (second column of A)*x_2 + ...
it's literally a linear combination of the columns of A
Ohh
and if you vary x you get all possible linear combinations
well you can do it row-wise and then reorder
Right
or you write A=(a1, a2, a3) where ai are the columns and then A*(x1,x2,x3) = a1x1+a2x2+a3x3 like "usual"
So why does it require being consisten
Consistent
well what does consistent mean
no
none of the xis can be represented as a combination of other xis
consistent means there exists at least one solution
aka one way of writing b as a linear combination of columns of A
When the transformation A can't have any x vector which gets transformed into b
So b doesn't belong in the column space
Rightt
Right?
which direction do you want right now
Ax=b is consistent iff b is in the column space
And Ax itself is the column space
So like b if falls in the space then has a solution
Otherwise it's inconsistent
Right?
Oh
Is it or not
Like I'm conused
Cofnuse
It all made sense if Ax is the column space
Like most probably when dealing with Ax is when x is in Rn
we are stating what terms mean
Ok
Ok so if x is in Rn where A is nxn matrix
Then Ax is the column
Space?
a column space is a set
Yea
you arent talking anything about sets here
What
the set of all possible values Ax for all values x in R^n is the column space
Ax, if x can be any vector from Rn, where A is nxn
Yes
Wait it has to be all values?
Of x?
Or some subset of Rn can work?
if some columns of A are linearly dependent then a subset might be enough
Ok, and A has to be a square matrix right?
Why this
if eg A=(a1, a2, a3) and a3=a1+a2, then you already get all possible values of A*x for just the vectors x of the form (x1, x2, 0)
Ahhh
Rightt
But even if x is all of Rn
It's still the same
Column space
But can be reduced
But not the other way round
Like if A1 A2 A3 are indepneded
Independent
Then x has to be from R3
But if ther are dependent then it can still be from R3
Right?
its a set so it doesnt care about having a vector "multiple" times
thats not a set
How so
{1,1,2} is the same as {1,2}
Oh brackets
Right thanks
Thanks a lot @hard atlas , also uve helped me before :),

I have a question about the curvature of (infinitely differentiable) parametric curves:
Suppose I want to link two points with a curve, with forced tangents at the endpoints, using a curve whose curvature is defined and continuous everywhere;
For example a curve that does a 90 turn in a circle-like fashion.
Since it has to turn,__ if I limit the length of the turn__, does there exist a sort of lower bound on the maximum curvature ?
Can I hope to find a curve below a certain length with not too much curvature ?
For context, I'm modelling a roller-coaster using Bezier curves by specifying some points and the tangents of the track at these points, then linking them up with bezier curves to produce a natural path (that I hereby simplify by saying I bound the length).
It turns out that g force is proportional to curvature and I want to reduce the maximum g force experienced.
Can I hope to reduce that maximum or is there a bound I'm forced to stay above of, and if so, is there a sort of formula ?
For example, the first turn is 90° upwards to go into the vertical section.
Can I hope to find a natural curve for this that wouldn't have too much curvature ?
@wraith venture Has your question been resolved?
@wraith venture Has your question been resolved?
nvm got it
for anyone wondering, the integral of curvature (wrt distance) is equal to the variation in the direction vector. This gives the average curvature on a segment, which is a lower bound for the maximum curvature (reached for a circle)

Tryin gto figure out how to do this
What do you mean by 3 >= 0 >= 2?
You have to consider two conditions to solve for the domain here
First of all, the number inside the square root should be nonnegative and, secondly, the denominator shall not be equal to zero
So the domain is going to be the solution to 3 - x >= 0 and 2x + 2 =/= 0
Or 3 >= x and x =/= -1
.
So we don't have to solve anything, or simplify?
that's it?
So would the interval notation be (-inf,-3] U [0,inf)?
@hoary pilot Has your question been resolved?
.
Are you still here?
For the function g (x) to be defined, quantity inside root should be positive.
This gives x < or equal 3
Also, denominator must not equal zero. This gives x not equal -1.
So your final answer should be x belongs (-inf, -1) U (-1,3].
Is this clear?
The denominator should not ever be 0, and yet you have the numbers -1 to 3 as your answer
I think that includes 0
I think I might be too stupid for math
denominator will be 0 only if u put -1 as x
u can check if u want to
so -1 won't be in the domain
even if u put 0 the answer will be 2 in denominator side
@hoary pilot
So why is it part of this answer?
(-inf, -1) U (-1,3].
if -1 wont be in the domain?
(1,3] = 0.9 to 3
(1,3) = 0.9 to 2.9
when u use round brackets the number beside it won't count
when u use square bracket the number beside it will count
u understand the difference?
i see
my english is bad hope u understood
I do

I have to find all intervals of continuity
can anyone check my answer
(-∞,-3) U (-3,5) U (5,∞)
i forgot if i have to include -1/4 or not since its technically removeable iirc
do i have to include the -1/4 as a discontinuous point?
the function isn't defined at -1/4,
is discontinuous there, (type of discontinuity doesn't matter)
and you'll need to split your interval accordingly

hi can anyone please explain to me how this works?
because im used to only the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
and when i plugged this into desmos it returned with the values i expected but halved (i.e center point were 10,6 but 10 --> 5 and 6 --> 3) (as in i expected the center to be 10,6 but it was actually 5,3)
If anyones curious what the original question was its
Add 9 to both sides
10x-x^2
same thing whatever
x^2-10x is in form a^2-2ab if you add b^2 then it'll be a perfect square
Same for y^2+6y
if u complete the square for x and y here you will get it in the form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
ohhhhhh
ty all sm
also
hold on
in the last 2 lines of i. how does it turn from 1 to 4?
because to my understanding dont they just double the left and right sides?
denominator is sent to numerator
$\frac{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}{4}+\frac{\left(y-2\right)^{2}}{4}=1$

How did they end up with this formula?
@spice wing Has your question been resolved?
Nope
|a|<1
a real number
But im interested in the formula
Pretty sure the formula would stay true for any real number
Yeah and what
well for other real numbers this wouldnt converge
Yes
Though I don't get how they found this form
And i could not find a formula on the internet for sum of a^i*a^j for 1≤i<j
?
This is the whole context
I am given a triple sum with dependent indices
That goes to infinity
And i somehow have to find that formula so that i can prove that it converges
There is no other information i was given
Well then i need a more thorough explanation
Because i dont know what rule/idea they used to expand it

hi so im stuck on the last step on proving this inequality...
Im not sure as to how to approach it.
@tawdry prawn Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
use induction bruh
ok
i can see that you're using it now
so you have 3^k>=20k
and you want to prove that 3^(k+1)>=20(k+1)
do realize that 3^(k+1)=3(3^k)>=60k
yes i can see that
so what you do here
is to prove that 60k>=20(k+1) for k>=5
which is trivial since lhs-rhs=20(2k-1)>0 for every k>=5
make use of the assumption.
whatever the p(k+1) is greater or equal to
you have to relate it to the original inequality that needs to be proven
so for this case you have to relate it back to this
you see the connection here?

it's $2^{3n -1 + 3}+3 = 82^{3n -1}+3 = 72^{3n -1} + 2^{3n -1} +3$, and $2^{3n -1} +3$ is divisible by 7, also $7*2^{3n -1}$ is divisible by 7 this completes the inductive step.
Mohamed Mohsen
ah i understand thanks
do you always have to try get something similar to the first line where n=1 ?
i mean the orginal equation 2^3n-1+3
usually the inductive step shares the same reason as to why the base step is true.
but I can't claim that this is always the case.
I think there are sometimes cases where the base step is too simple to tell you how the inductive step should have been proven
I don't know If I got your question correctly
i checked where it shows the answers and it showed two different ones
but i dont see why your answer is not wrong
i dont really understand the way they did it here
with the M
not sure what M means
they are both correct
M is just a number
if I told you that x is divisible by 7.
and you used it in a proof. the information that it's divisible by 7. is lost if you don't use it explicitly
so to turn this implicit truth into explicit one
you say if x is divisible by 7 then x = 7y where why is another integer.
this explicitly shows that it's divisible by 7. and can help you use that fact in the proof.
other examples of this is when you know than n is an even number and you substitute n = 2m where m is some other integer or if it's odd and you know that every odd number is an even number + 1 so you say n = 2m + 1.
it's also the definition of divisibility
how did the first line go into the second one
$2^{3n -1 + 3} = 2^{3n -1 } \times 2^{3}$, and $2^3 = 8$.
Mohamed Mohsen
laws of exponents
but they changed it to 2^3k+2 instead of the way you did it with 2^3k-1+3
so shouldnt it be 2^2 (2^3k)
or do they both get the same answer
oh nvm i see why they did it
thanks

Couldn’t you cancel out the x and y to get a+w/0
no
Why
try it with numbers
it just doesnt work like that
(btw if anything it would leave a 1 instead of a 0)
if $x$ and $y$ are $\neq 0$, then $xy \neq 0$
rafilou2003
Can I not cancel numbers which are being multiplied
not in the way you are trying to
let's check the contraposition. Suppose that $x$ and $y$ are such that $xy = 0$. What can you conclude?
rafilou2003
cancelling is not a math operation. it's a hoax created by teachers xD, only rules you can use are (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) and how they interact with each other like distribute law, associative law etc.
One of them is zero?
yes
so if both x and y are different from 0, then their product is different from 0

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a math problem and could use some help. The problem is as follows:
"Two of the altitudes in a triangle do not intersect and the acute angle between their extensions is 45°. Then it holds that: (a) one of the triangle's angles is 45°; (b) one of the triangle's angles is 135°; (c) it is not possible to determine; (d) there is no such triangle."
I am struggling to determine the correct answer and would greatly appreciate any insight or guidance you can offer. Thank you in advance for your help!

How can we show that $\sum^{\infty} \frac{1}{n \log(n)}$ diverges? I show that $n \log(n)$ is equal to $n^{1 + \log_n(\log(n))}$ so the exponent is greater than 1 for $n>e$ which means it should converge by the p-test, but apparently it diverges.
triz
there are two ways to do this
One is through doing sum/integral comparison
You would use the fact that $x\mapsto \frac{1}{xlog(x)}$ is decreasing on $[2,\infty)$
rafilou2003
This is not a technique taught in my course but this question was on my exam, so I think I'm meant to use the other way but just out of curiosity what are the steps here?
first, using the fact that this function is decreasing, if you let $k\in \bN$ such that $k\geq2$, then $\forall x\in [k,k+1]$, $\frac{1}{klog(k)} \geq \frac{1}{xlog(x)}$
rafilou2003
integrating over $[k,k+1]$, $\frac{1}{klog(k)} = \int_k^{k+1}\frac{1}{klog(k)}dx \geq \int_k^{k+1}\frac{1}{xlog(x)}dx$
rafilou2003
summing from k = 2 to n, $\sum_{k=2}^n\frac{1}{klogk} \geq \int_2^{n+1} \frac{1}{xlog(x)}dx$
rafilou2003
(the reason for the right hand side is through chasles' integral formula)
finally, $\int_2^{n+1} \frac{1}{xlog(x)}dx = log(log(n+1)) - log(log(2))$
rafilou2003
which diverges to infinity when n goes to infinity
@gloomy bough The second method still involves the fact that $x\mapsto \frac{1}{xlog(x)}$ is decreasing on $[2,\infty)$
rafilou2003
Then, use the fact that for a positive decreasing sequence $(a_n)$, $\sum a_n$ and $\sum 2^n a_{2^n}$ are either both convergent or both divergent
rafilou2003
@gloomy bough Try to prove this fact, it is pretty easy to do so and very elegant
The condensed series becomes $\sum \frac{1}{log(2^n)}}$ and then we need to show that this is divergent right?

How would you go about doing this?
Sorry to ask you to spell it out so much but my understanding is kind of weak here
And, if you don't mind, could you tell me why my original attempt with the p-test fails? Is it because p is non -constant?
@gloomy bough Has your question been resolved?
use the properties of log with exponents
using this property mentioned above should be straightforward
yes p is not constant but that's not the big issue
p converges to 1
so there is nothing you can conclude
only as $n \to e$ no? as $n \to \infty$, $\log(\log(n)) \to \infty$
triz
Guys what’s a segment
@gloomy bough Has your question been resolved?

Can anyone help me with a physics problem
H is 30cm
Blue is water
I need to find h
Other is fluid kerosene
So I know p of water is 1000kg/m3
And kerosene is 800kg/m3
Question is how do I find h of kerosene
h−H is how much water has left the left side
it went to the right side
so the kerosene balances 2(h-H) of water
i'm not certain it works maybe it's a trap
no it's gotta be true
like the picture is not what it would look like
there's a bit more water on the right side in reality
I know it's from the student's book
I can't change it
So I know the answer that is in the student's book and that is 50cm but I need the calculations, so I can get there, because it's homework
make up your own calculations
@west estuary Has your question been resolved?
Yes
i mean, maybe it's supposed to show the water at H on the right side
yeah now i see how it's exactly H
so it's not about just adding kerosene
but some water is removed too
but the answer 50 works with just adding kerosene

this is the mark scheme but i dont understand y he minuses the 3.5 and the 8/3
if i were to divide 3.5 w 8/3 would that be wrong?
What would the purpose of that be
to get the percentage diffrence?
The formula of percent difference is as given on that paper
so i will get the formula?
Stephen
This is the formula for percent difference
Dividing the values of p_1 and p_2 wouldn’t get u percent difference
then what would it get
It would get u 1/ the factor change in pressure? It’s irrelevant

whats a triangle prove it
does anyone know about congurence and similarity
find the ratio of areas of two similar triangles if their perimeters are 294cm 336cm
@flat whale
when it says "the ratio" that means you can make up any triangle that satisfies those perimeter conditions. then calculate areas that way
once you have two sets of b and h, you can take the ratio of their products to get the ratio of the areas
i dont quite get it can u make it a bit clearer im really dumb sorry
did you do this?
yes
and this?
yes
tell me your 4 numbers
ah crap i got this backwards
3*112
so u explained wrong
this part is still right
i deleted the stuff that was wrong
okay
whats the right version of it then
try doing this with an isosceles right triangle
a simpler way would be to know that areas increase by the square of the ratio of how the side lengths / perimeter scales
but i don't know if you can just assume that

Q: Find relations from {0,1} to {1} that are not functions.
The book says (and I also got this right) that the relations are {(0,1)} and {(1,1)}. However, I was wondering. Can we say an empty set {} can be considered a relation but is not a function?
Because I answered: {(0,1)}, {(1,1)}, {}
yeah that makes sense to me
supposedly (0,1) is not a function because it doesn't cover the domain
so it's totally the same with empty set
unless we're supposed to think that empty set is not a relation

If you were to hypothetically have a number n, which is a product containing one factor of "every" prime, and generate a list of all numbers from 1 to n which are coprime with n, would all numbers in the list also be prime? Obviously anything coprime with "all" primes would need to be a prime itself (or 1, but that doesn't matter in my context), suggesting the infinitude of them which is obvious, but 121 is coprime with 210 (2x3x5x7) despite 121 not being prime, so I'd assume there continue to exist examples of coprimes but not primes like this as n gets larger. Does that mean this is just a logical paradox derived from the assumption that one could have a product of every prime to begin with?
If n is the product of "every" then no prime number can be coprime to n by assumption
But, the formula for Euler's totient function suggests that the number of terms coprime with n is equal to the product of all those primes minus 1 (as in the product over (p-1) for all p), which contradicts that.
Which is why I assume it must just be a logical paradox
Because if it were true that no prime could be coprime with such a number n, then we'd be suggesting that the product of all (p-1) for every prime p is equal to 1, as Euler's totient function would return 1 because 1 is the only number in the list
Yeah i think i see what youre saying. But if we are assuming n to exist, can we even use eulers totient function?
I see no reason why not. There's an explicit formula defined for the totient function assuming you know the factors of its input, which we technically do because we are assuming we had a list of all primes with which to generate n to begin with. That's why I think it would just make more sense to say no such n exists
The reason I ask is because there is a relatively simple extension of this logic that would instantly suggest the twin primes conjecture is true. If such an n COULD exist, I have an explicit formula for a NEW type of totient function which would say say exactly that, which doesn't seem right.
even if the formula exists, we cant say that it counts the number of coprimes for all primes anymore
becuase of n
I suppose, but what DOES it return then?
it will return one
I guess. It still just seems like a logical flaw that any such n could exist to me, but I'm not sure
...well really the answer is that there is no product of every prime, so obviously if you assume you have one you're going to get strange results
That's what my thought was. A lot of paradoxes arise when you say "all primes", because n+1 would also have to be prime by the logic of this question.
i suspect most of the "numbers" coprime to it that euler's totient function is counting are numbers larger than every prime number or something weird like that
they're not numbers that actually exist, they're numbers that don't exist but do exist if n exists which it doesn't
Yeah. I just have a feeling that I can use this modified totient function I have to say something about prime pairs, but it obviously isn't by these means.
As it also would have relied on a product of "all" primes
now that i think about it, im not sure what eulers totient function would return for n
i was just trying to say that is we assume n to exist then some theorems about prime numbers might not be true anymore
tbh i think the answer is it depends on what a "number" is
so they cant necessarily be used
if n exists then we're not dealing with natural numbers, we're dealing with some new type of number where it makes sense for a number to have infinitely many factors
if thats the case, dont we still have to prove the function to be true for these new numbers before it can be used
well tbh i'd look at far more foundational features of these numbers first
like, does addition exist?
if addition does exist, is it still true that adding 0 doesn't change anything? is there even a number named "0" in this system?
is a + b = b + a? is a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c?
since we're multiplying together all the primes, presumably multiplication exists
but is there a "1" that you can multiply by and nothing changes?
currently we can't really answer any of these questions because we haven't actually defined what this number system is
just "it contains the product of all primes"
if its an infinite cyclic group can we say that since its isomorphic to N then it fails in there too?
...what do you mean by "cyclic"?
that the group can be generated by a single element
well that would be isomorphic to Z because it's a group
so yeah i don't think that would work
whatever the product of all primes is, you presumably can't get there by adding together some finite number of copies of 1
you'd probably need to break comparison
n + 1 is prime, but n is the product of all primes, therefore n+1 is a factor of n
which is... fine i guess, but makes it a bit unclear what euler's totient function would actually count, since we can't ask for numbers "less than n" anymore
wait hang on couldn't we technically just
n = 0
that's divisible by every prime
if the product of nonzero numbers is zero, then it cant be a field or an intergal domain right?
well
in an integral domain, the product of any two nonzero numbers is nonzero
we didn't do that, we took the product of infinitely many numbers
true
what about 1?
is n +1 is a prime, then wouldnt 1 being a prime be a contradiction?
why would n+1 being prime imply 1 is prime
there are a lot of numbers that are 1 less than a prime in the actual natural numbers and none of those imply that 1 is prime
if we insert n= 0

MN biscets ∠IMD, IN=(5x-20) and DN=(2x+4). Find the measure of MI.
I already tried pythagorean theorem to solve this but it somehow goes to negative values ?
that doesn't seem like enough info to solve the problem
are you sure ?
exactly!
so it doesn't give us any additional info about the right triangle
we can find one leg and that's it
one leg? how so
yes, but we still won't get the value
now use the x thing
x thing? How woud we use x in there
their relationship would just be congruent so it'd be 0
Thankss, im thinking so too. I'd turn a few more then I'll give up haha. I appreciate it, i've been stuck here longg
With the given information there's no way to find MI. Are you able to send the original problem?
yup, it's from a book im pretty sure, it's just like a practice exercise but I'm starting to think there's an error in here so i'll just skip this for a moment

I don't think this map is even well defined.
Let's say we have
[ 1 x ]
[ c 1]
amd
[1 x]
[d 1]
If we take x from R+, the map can send x to both of these

I hate books sometimes
is R^+ additive group of reals?
yes
checks out
if it's 0 it's absolutely obvious
lol
positive reals nah ?
hai.
The form can be just of one type so the blank can be just one thjng
ive seen R^+ be positive reals a lot
Yah
but here it doesnt really make sense
you'd have multiplicative structure then which is not going to make an isomorphism
its gotta be additive group
Artin uses R+ and Rx to denote the addition and multiplication groups
ye
Rx does not have 0
For the G' to stay group I guess
you should write it like that : (R, +) or (R, x)
$\R^+ = (\R, +)$
that's what I do, honestly. It's just this book
$\R^\by = (\R, \by)$

i dont agree with this notation tho but anyway
Graph Theory intensifies 💀

If i see R+, ill say set of all positive real numbers
tmw the french go $\R_+$
What would you think of R^×
thats obviously the set of functions from × to R
yes
🇫🇷
wait 🙂




im referring to the notation where $A^B$ denotes the set of functions $B \to A$
Yes I know, I use that in Metric Spaces 🥲

Real Sequences are written like $\mathbb{R}^\mathbb{N}$
rikusp2002
$\R^\infty$
real sequences 
Ive never seen this one
it makes perfect sense
I should read more books in english maybe
$\R^\infty = \ds\lim_{n \to \infty} \R^n$
💀


Then what about infinitely differentiable
wait how to write it in LateX fuk
yeah that
where M is a smooth differentiable manifold 
$C^{\infty} = \bigcap_{n\in \mathbb{N}} C^n$
Herels
🤔

we only know $C^\infty(\mathbb{R})$ till now though

oh you did engineering?
im doing rn


I wanted a slightly easier life (even though it kind of isn't) so I opted for math major
slightly easier life 


I see
also I'm terrible at physics
You don't want to deal with thermodynamics i swear


I kind of liked it in 1st Sem tbh but then again it was the easy part I guess
Also Idk how physcs people use math stuff and never explain why does it even pop up
I struggle with thermodynamics more than mechanics
I regret taking two Mathematical Methods courses in two semesters
genuinely the worst course I ever appeared in


MM had some "group theory" in it and you know they started with Free Groups
💀
what about everything else

lmao
They did complex analysis and I still don't know why the contours are like those while integrating stuff
Thankfully we have Complex Analysis as a Mathematics Core
we'll learn it anyway
every group lives inside a free group in some sense 
I havent done complex analysis yet :((
the famous theorem
so there is nothing else 
dw it's good only if you yourself read it or some good teacher guides you
the thing is, I'll never do real maths again
not that I dont want to, but its pointless

Agree if your field of work doesn't demand it
and the maths in engineering is just tools to use
same
sometimes I feel like that's everywhere tbh
except in maths itself
but I started learning relativity alone and goddamn manifolds are pain
lol
tmw no field of work i might do will use any of the maths im learning rn 
if you learn maths properly, you can fully apply those in only academic careers I think
