1. “Thomas’ Calculus” (14th Edition): This is a classic textbook that covers foundational and advanced calculus topics, along with sequences, series, functions, and transcendental functions. It also includes chapters on analytic geometry and vector calculus, making it a comprehensive choice for calculus and analysis. Some editions provide introductory statistics and probability as well .
2. “Schaum’s Outline of Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists”: This outline-style book covers a wide array of topics including calculus, linear algebra, complex numbers, differential equations, probability, statistics, and an introduction to linear programming. It’s a useful book for quickly covering topics with practice problems, though it may be less detailed than other textbooks .
3. “Mathematical Analysis” by Tom Apostol: This textbook offers extensive coverage of set theory, logic, calculus, series, and vector analysis, with detailed sections on sequences, series, and functions. Though it doesn’t go in-depth into linear programming or statistics, it is very thorough in other areas such as number theory and functions .
- “Advanced Engineering Mathematics” by Erwin Kreyszig: Known for its wide coverage, this book is ideal for advanced students and covers topics like linear algebra, calculus, complex analysis, Fourier series, partial differential equations, vector calculus, probability, and statistics. It includes sections on linear programming and is practical for applications in science and engineering .
5. “Cambridge Mathematical Textbooks”: Cambridge has a series of texts that cover a range of mathematical topics in individual books, from complex analysis to abstract algebra and statistics. These books may be more specialized but offer a thorough and rigorous approach to each subject, suitable for upper-undergraduate or graduate-level study .
For a complete coverage in one textbook, “Advanced Engineering Mathematics” by Kreyszig and “Thomas’ Calculus” would provide broad coverage. However, for deep dives into specialized topics like number theory or logic, consider pairing a primary text with a more focused book from a series like Cambridge.

Could someone just explain to me what I did wrong.
x^3 * x^2 is not x^6
Same with y^2*y^3
Wait so when I’m confused so when should I multiply exponents vs adding them 🥹
Factorization was not necessary since the exponent of the radicand is divisible by the index of the root.
Wait what 😭😭😭
I get this
^^^
How is (x^3)^2 not x^6?
that’s different
my question isn’t this thou
It’s this one
but look
you replaced x^6 with x^3 * x^2
Wait wait stay with me ☝️
X^2 y^2 is the final right
yea
Omg I’m such a Baka tysm

I don’t understand the blue part
yea, dont worry, Do you want it exactly as it is, or do you want an easy way?
ill elaborate it to you
So, you know how we factorize X^2 -10X + 9 =0?
Yes I know
Mhm. You do the same here, so take the coefficient of the c^4 term and constant and multiply them together alright?
that is 8 x -3
its -24 right?
But why 8 disappear
Yea,
The equation is just equivalent to the other one we saw
But i can explain you without the 8 disappearing
Sorry I don’t understand my English is not good😭😭could you explain why 8 disappearing
Ok
Ill send you a pic
Ok!! Thank you so much 😭😭😭
Ahhhh I understand now, bc I used to use this way to solve equations, but my teacher gave the answer that is like the pic that I sent so I don’t understand

I'm totally lost here
I think I'll have to use the rank nullity theorm somewhere here, not sure how
I don't
The only thing that comes to mind is starting off with basis of ker(t)
rank(g o f) <= min(rank g, rank f)
I don't see how that helps
So I prove that 2 \leq rank(g), rank(f)
Hmm
Well, $5-rank(TS) \leq 5 -rank(S) + 5-rank(T) \implies rank(TS) -5 \leq rank(T) -rank(S)-10$
A dense set
$rank(TS)+5 \geq rant(T) +rank(S)$
A dense set
$5-rank(TS) \leq 5- ran(k(T)+ 5-rank(S)$
\
\
$rank(TS) \geq rank(T) + rank(S)-5$
\
Let rank(TS) =3 (say)
\
that would mean $ 8 \geq rank(T)+ rank(S)$
\
A dense set
you should probably reason on the dimensions of ker(T), ker(S)
recall the relation you found between the dimensions of ker(T), ker(S) and ker(TS)
I don't follow
I've used that here
we already used it didn't we
so rank(ST) <= min(rank(S),rank(T))
and now we wanna show one of rank(S), rank(T) is <= 2
Well, from here that's simple enough
edited
how would your last line show that?
8 = rank(TS)+5
so lemme get this straight
you supposed rank(TS) = 3 (which is supposed to be a contradiction)
Yes
and you found... no contradiction?
yes
so...
I've made a mistake somehwere
I'm just telling you to stay with kernels
A dense set
try to show null(T) + null(S) >= 5
you mean in dimension right
ye
well we got that now right
so at least one of them is >= 3...
yes, so the image will have a dimesnion less than or equal to 2
<= 2*
A dense set
yes
so the rank of either T or S is AT MOST 2
so the minimum of rank(T), rank(S)
is at most 2
not at least 2
yes

hi
might be silly but I dont understand the difference between nCr and nPr
<@&286206848099549185>
Permutation is used when order of arrangement does matter.
While in combinations, the order of arrangement does not matter.
Let me explain you through an example
how to understand if the arrangement is needed in the question
Ye go ahead
Let's say you have five letters a,b,c and d.
Now, you wish to create a word of length two.
How many possible arrangements are there?
four?
i mean there should be four letters
Yeah four letters
i think answer should be 4!
Correct.
Here are the arrangements
ab ac ad ba bc bd ca cb cd da db dc
yes
ik arrangement is permutation and selection is combination
but i don't understand which to apply in question
In combinations of words,
ab and ba are same.
While in permutations they're different
As b should come first is different arrangement then a comes first
whaat
maybe ur right
What if I tell you to select any character from a, b, c, d in how many ways you can choose?
4C1
4!/3!
so thats just 4
abcd bcda cdab dabc
in permutations
its also the same
?
@pallid birch ??
Now, What if I ask you select two characters from a, b, c, d. In how many ways you can choose.
4C2
12
Which is 6, not 12
Yeah, in here ab and ba is considered as one combination
ok
in combination its 12

can someone walk me through why this is true
as in the equality
i don't get how these two are the same
the first sum looks like this
$\left\lfloor\frac{x}{1+\lfloor x / (\ell_0 + 1)\rfloor}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor\frac{x}{2+\lfloor x / (\ell_0 + 1)\rfloor}\right\rfloor + \cdots + \left\lfloor\frac{x}{x+\lfloor x / (\ell_0 + 1)\rfloor}\right\rfloor$
artemetra
if they didn't totally change the indices I could say things about it being telescopic
but with the index change I'm kinda confused
it is a telescoping sum indeed but the indices make it confusing
oh it's still that
making any progress?
yes, i'm trying to understand the answer 
but it's REALLY cool if correct
the second sum looks like
oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
it equals l for any n in the interval, whose length is the difference in parentheses
wait elaborate
need more elaboration?
thank you so much

Why - and not ±
because y is negative from the initial equation.
But then its 5y²=16
yes, it is. And?
So the solutions are about 5y²=16
yes, -4/sqrt(5) satisfies the equation. And 4/sqrt(5) does not
The initial equation has y² and substituting each for y² gives the same result
but it has y without a square on the right.
Oh u meant that, let me see
Why y<0
4-y² -2<y<2
Not y<0
bc square root is non-negative. If multiplied by -2 you get negative. And it equals y. So y must be negative
Yea i see that
Im trying to see where I failed on just calculating it
Probably need to put a ± somewhere
Pribably when I did everything ^2
Squaring the equation is exactly the place where you get excessive roots
How to avoid excessive roots
just check them all at the end and throw out the ones which aren't ok
What if its a complex long equation
Which i cant tell has a defined sign before squaring it
or. at the beginning mind that squaring adds roots
Yeah and how do I tell which is the excessive one
For equations it is easier to sub them all at the end into the initial equation
Isnt there a way to just tell which root is wrong?
When squaring
Without looking the sign
As I said mind your squarings. Each time you square equation f(x)=g(x) you add roots of the equation f(x)=-g(x)
There cannot be a negative number under the square root if calculating in Real numbers
What if its fx=-gx
If your initial equation was that, then squaring add roots of f(x)=g(x)
Right, what if there was no root?
Squaring may add some. You should remove them at the end
I meant, what if its an equation which has a fx that has no defined sign
And you have to square it
Both signs are ok?
I dont know what is defined sign.

This can't be right? Where is the mistake
If I'm interpreting what you've read correctly, I think the issue is that you're assuming it's the same fixed a' in S for all values of epsilon. 2) is trying to tell you that there are points in S, arbitrarily close to u.
When you note that which a' you're talking about depends on your value of epsilon, the deduction that u < a' + eps for all eps implies u <= a' makes no sense.
In the set S = (0,1), the point a' = 0.995 would work for epsilon = 1/2 or 1/10 or 1/100, but would not work for epsilon = 1/1000. You'd need to switch to a different a' at that point, which is why you can't deduce 0.995 = 1.
If there was a single point that was within epsilon of 1, for any value of epsilon (0.99...) then of course that would have to just be 1.

Then is this question valid? It's what made me think of that "proof" in the first place
Yeah, w is always in the closure of A. It's just not necessarily in A itself.
For closure, we need to argue that any neighbourhood of w contains some point of A. This does not need to be the same point for every neighbourhood. It just means any neighbourhood of w intersects A somewhere.
Ah is that what the bar above A means? lol I haven't done this yet and looking at it made me come to the conclusion above
Yeah, the bar means the closure. It is the set of all points x such that any neighbourhood of x contains a point of A. Equivalently, it is the union of A with the limit points of A. Also equivalently, it is the intersection of all closed sets containing A, and thus the smallest closed set containing A (hence the term "closure").

I understand everything there but why is there a 2k pi added at the end
Because of the periodicity
If you don't put it, you wouldn't be able to find all the four 4th roots
so if it was z^3 you would still put the 2k pi there
Yep
so essential its there no matter the z^n because thats the period of cos and sin
Exactly
what didnt make sense later in the video they work out when k=-1,0,1,2 whats the need of this?
is the final answer whats seen on bottom right in that case cant you just give your answer when k=0?
I admit I'd never seen negative values of k before
Usually k = 0, 1, 2, ..., n - 1
i mean since thats the period part (2kpi) it doesnt matter what k is
Where n is the root index (in your case 4)
But any "sequence" of consecutive integers with length 4 works
So you could have picked k = 6, 7, 8, 9 for instance
is it because its to a power of 4 so it has to have 4 roots?
Yeah

Actually I just didn’t use that to solve for x
Whats the given
Everything but x and the shape drawn in red I inputted
The answer I got for x is correct using the fact that the sum should be 540
Using my logic there
So given angle 85, 85, 95, and 155
Goal is to find x and ik I kinda didn’t show that well
ok so x is not the angle of the red cyclic
No
but you calculated x as if it is in the red cyclic
I meant yes sorry lol
I got x for the 5 sided shape equals 120
But x in the red shape is 95
Sorry let me just redraw
Nono like
you said x = y + d. (correct)
you got y as 95 (correct)
so u said x = 95 + 25
but that would mean d = 25
but we never really got d seperately. We can only say that x = 95+d
c+d = 25 but not d specifically
in fact, d can be any value
where 0<d<25 . same for c (0<c<25)
@gilded schooner
But we know the total angle where that 95 is on the left is the total for the 5 angled shape
It somehow equals the angle in the red shape
Which means angle c would be 0
i couldnt understand could u please elaborate
cus the sum of angles for a quadrilateral is 360
and sum of angles for a pentagon is 540
they are not the same
and if u mean sum of two internal angles = opp external angle
that does not apply here
cus the line is bent
Why wouldn’t it be a+c?
because it just isnt
what logic did u use to arrive at a+c =95?
also d is not = 25-c
I meant 25-a
its also not equal to 25-a
Because 95 is made up of a +c, I cut 95 into c and a
yeah a is 0 if a+c us 95
and u are saying thats what they wrote
So what we can summarise
IS
I think whats happening is that if these are the angles for this pentagon, then it will not fit on a circle
it just isnt cyclic
We are given this without the angles being split up into a b c or d and there is no imaginary line, those equations at the top I put
We are given the circle

A survey was conducted to figure out the percentage of high school seniors who had 5 or more drinks in a week. 13,000 seniors participated. Based on the data from the survey, 48.3% of males had 5 or more drinks and 28.7% of females had 5 or more drinks. What percent of both males and females had 5 or more drinks?
been getting into an argument with my HS health teacher over this question, i argue its 38.5%. she says its 77%
how could it be 77%?
P(5 or more drinks | male)P(male) + P(5 or more drinks | female)P(female)
is what you want
if you assume that P(male) = P(female) = 1/2 then your answer is correct

If someone asks me a question and gives me 4 possible option and one is correct, my chance of guessing the answer is 1/4 or 25%, but what would be the change of winning the whole show if it costs of 8 rounds, and each round has different available answers?
1-4th round - 4 answer options
5-7th round - 3 answer options
8th round - 2 answer options
What’s the chance of me winning the show if I only guess the answer?
assuming these events are independent you can just multiply the probability of getting it correct in each round

hello 
for this question, I'd need to write f(x) as a piecewise function, then find f_Y(y) using those intervals, would that be correct?
eg f(x) is defined as the following
$$x+1, x\in [-3,0], y\in[-2,1]$$
$$-x+1, x\in[0,1], y\in[0,1]$$
$$x-1, x\in[1,3], y\in[0,2]$$
so for the interval of say $y\in[0,1]$, would i need to take into account the contributions of all three $f_Y(x)$s?

can someone help with c)
whats the position at t=0
10
whats the position at t=2
0
0 no?
typo my bad
cool now whats the position at t=7/2
-9/4
ok so now what you need to understand is
the paricle starts somewhere
goes somehwerre negative
then goes to x=0 position as well
ur considering distance travelled
yeah not displacement
right so like consider the distance where it hits 0 the first time
it should be some posiive displacement
(which is at t=2)
so x_0 - x_2
now after t=7/2 it again goes to 0
since a parabola is symmetrical
just consider distance from t=2 to t=7/2
and multiply it by 2
so would the textbook be wrong when it says it is 14.5m?
cool thank you

Is there a way I can learn math through my passions ? Psychology, astrology and fashion design, I know I can apply the inherent skills that math gives u, like critical thinking, and patterns identification.But not the hard contents ,coz I really like the conceptual part and not the monotone practice part ( doing ton of exercises), I want to identify this concepts in the world , extrapolate systems and use them to improve my life , understand the world and it’s habitants better, apply knowledge to substantial things
there is no math or science in astrology 
There is some math
Yeah but is not the foundation
psychology i would expect to see some, especially statistics
do you mean astronomy or astrology
Astrology
Well ignore Astrology what about the other stuff like understanding the world better
?
well, there's a lot of pop math channels
numberphile, 3blue1brown, mathologer
they do a good job explaining things (usually) without requiring lots of background
How can I practically consciously do that fun stuff , and not just staying on the abstract and the repetitive exercises but seeing the abstract on the practical and material world
well, if you really want to understand something, the easiest way really is repetition and practice
it's a skill just like playing an instrument or drawing a dress
Oh okey just push through till I can do the cool stuff
what i find works well is spaced repetition
seeing things for the first time, then again in a month really getting into them
What do I need to learn before I can do all the things I listed before
?
Idk anything ( I ditched school for like 4 years)
The fundamentals of algebra ?
i guess it depends on what math you run into but algebra is pretty fundamental yeah
but before then it'd be good to memorize times tables, i know it's a pain but it's so helpful to be able to look at 6x8 and not have to think about it
Oh I know timetables
Idk the quadratic function or like the roots properties
And radicals
Like consciously using the skills math gives u
definitely you can learn as you go and as you run into stuff, this is what i mean by the fundamentals of algebra though
you don't have to do these right now :) but that's the idea i had in mind
Is the book from Harold Jacob’s good ?
Elementary algebra
i don't have any on hand :/ if you can afford it (and find it, it seems to be out of print?) then it's probably just fine
but there are much cheaper algebra books that i'm seeing on amazon that seem to have good reviews
I found it as a website but the images are kinda blurry, and having to study with the computer is distracting
physical books are really nice
But my sister has the physical baldor algebra book
oh are you a spanish speaker?
But I have really loved the book
Yeah how did you know
pq lo googleé
(baldor algebra)
there's a channel that i really like for spanish math instruction https://www.youtube.com/@MateFacilYT
In this channel you will learn mathematics in a very easy way, with the help of many worked examples, step by step.
I upload a multitude of videos from very different branches of mathematics: arithmetic, algebra, Euclidean geometry, analytic geometry, vectors, number theory, set theory, trigonometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, s...
Hablas español?
sip
Wow
(mal jaja)
Tranquila mi inglés tan poco es perfecto
no he dado cuenta hasta que dijiste baldor
a lot of it is that you'll want multiple modes
and yeah one of those modes being writing will help a lot, at least it did for me
Like writing proofs?
but like debes utilizar la que te interese pa determinar que estudiar
sure, or just writing exercises, if you don't have to think about the easy things you can look at more interesting things
Yeah I have to push through the fundamentals
To be able to do the things I want to do
Thank u very much

2:1?
Because
lets say the radius is like 1
of the smaller circle
so then the radius of the larger circle is √2
√2^2/1=2
wtf
.
m8 get ur own help channel
ok
its best to use letters like a or α to call the length of the radius
avoid numeric values, always generalize

I have two lines in 3d space , they are in the pic,
I have found and verified that the minimal distance between them is 17/sqrt(29)
I want to find the point C (in l1) which is the nearest point to l2
how can I do that?
@red field Has your question been resolved?
are you familar with vector forms of the line and dot product
i think you can use something to do with the fact the line between the two points is perpednicular to either line so when dotted with either line it will equal 0
but its been a while since ive done this so i cant remeber exactly sorry
ye I get where ur coming from'
maybe I can let A be a point on l1, B point on l2
and the line in the direction of AB is perp. to both lines\
yeah thats what im trying to do now
it feels like there should be a faster way though
yes I think i knew one and forgot it lol
I used this actualy to get the 17/sqrt(29)
maybe we can use the distance between two points
but the problem is we have 2 variables
one for each point
yeah i think we can find the point on l2 with it
like deriviative and find minimal point
ye it should work
ye the other one we can find if we just shift the plane to l2
like chnge D in Ax+By+Cz+D=0

Consider only the centre and S. The centre is fixed. This is vertical. We release a ball tied to the string which is fixed at the centre. We also give it a velocity of 5 m/s. What will be it's speed when it has travelled through an angle which is less than 90 deg as shown. The mass of the stone is m and the lenght of the string is l.
lagrangian?
no
lagrangians are closely related to potential energy and kinetic energy is what i mean
and iirc pendulums are famously easier to solve using lagrangian mechanics

it has

they pulled out 1/2
it would still be 1/2 - 1/2cos2x

The only way what I am thinking of is to start with the definition of integral, the riemann sum
Despite it being so obvious i am also a bit lost
Why do you need the absolute values? Both integrals are positive or 0 anyways?
It's for both a < b and a > b
I'm allowed to use these tho
Doesn't this cover the case b > a immediately?
Yeah, but what about a > b?
Then you switch the bounds and introduce a - which cancels with the absolute value
Like so?
Yes

Hello I need help with this limit: $a_0 > -1$ and $a_n = \sqrt{2^{n+1}a_{n-1}+4^n}-2^n$ compute $\lim_{n\to\infty}a_n$
ω
I also have to prove it exists as thats non-trivial
I proved that this sequence is decreasing
also via induction $a_n > (-1)2^n$
ω
we can rewrite the expression to $a_{n-1} = a_n + \frac{a_n^2}{2^{n+1}}$
ω
also from here it can be seen the decreasing property with ease
yeah thats how I got that
so now you only have to apply the limit with n approaches infinity of the last thing you wrote
but how idk what $\frac{a_n^2}{2^{n+1}}$ is convergent to
ω
and even if it is at all
okay its either convergent or divergent to -infty since its decreasing
suppose it is convergent
so can I say that this term $\frac{a_n^2}{2^{n+1}} \rightarrow 0$?
ω
I guess so
right
or not
