Wow, now that question above has two downvotes, this is very sad...

I bet the downvoters don't know there is so much to be said about inflection points.

@robjohn I think you should wear pink!
Personally, I hate pink.
My parents painted my bedroom pastel pink: had to spend 14 years stuck surrounded by PINK...Finally convinced them to let me paint it blue!

Purple is the ugliest colour.

Over at CS.SE they seem to be confused on changing bases (as in, base 2 to base 5) without going through base 10--they're talking about the log change of base formula, and writing programs that do go through base 10 without them recognizing it... Would someone please confirm I haven't lost my mind? cs.stackexchange.com/questions/10318/…

@Calc1DropOut An FYI: I was reviewing some edits you've suggested, and had one comment (wasn't sure how to send it to you, so I'm trying the chatroom). I like what you've done, but there is one thing about $\log$ vs $\lg$--in computer science, $\lg$ often denotes the base-2 logarithm, so when you see it in some questions (specifically those related to recurrence relations, which are common in CS), you may want to leave those as $\lg$. On the whole--I like your edits! Keep up the good work. :)
To all in chatroom: does anyone know if someone who's never entered the chatroom will be notified of an @ notification from here? (specifically in regards to my last message...)

Hi. I have a soft question. I know that the number of perfect squares less than 20,000 is the floor of \sqrt(20,000), but why is the number of elements in the set of numbers which are both perfect squares and perfect cubes the floor of (20000)^(1/6)? Why are we multiplying exponents here?

@TheSubstitute a number is a perfect cube and a perfect square if and only if it is a perfect 6th power

Do you watch much anime @anon?

@TheSubstitute you can prove this by using FTA and "localizing"; observe that the power of each prime in n's prime factorization (assuming n=a^2=b^3) must be divisible by both 2 and 3, hence divisible by lcm(2,3)=6.
@Ben I've seen a bit.

Can someone here motivate the Banach Category theorem?
Why do we care if arbitrary unions of open first-category sets are first category?
user19161
06:29
@AndrewSalmon You mean Baire.
Andrew Salmon
Andrew Salmon
@JacobBlack No. I mean Banach.
It's different.
It says that the arbitrary union of open first category sets is first category.
I have no intuition on this, because the only open first category set in $\mathbb R$ is $\varnothing$.
This fact above follows by the Baire Category Theorem.

@AlexanderGruber Meaning that you've applied? Do you know where you are going?

I've applied to some places but I haven't heard back from most of them
Only place I've been accepted to so far is Rennselaer
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
@AlexanderGruber Ah, ok man. You seem pretty into group theory--I've appreciate a lot of your posts!
Alexander Gruber

thanks :)
Do you know where you're going yet?
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
@AlexanderGruber Best of luck on your applications btw :)
@AlexanderGruber I have some options, but I'm not sure yet. It's a really tough decision
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
Yeah definitely.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
06:40
@AlexanderGruber Do you have a "top choice"?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
I did :(
Chicago rejected me though.
Not that that was particularly unexpected. It's a great school.

Alex Youcis
Haha, me too :)
Goddamn Chicago, think they're too goo for everyone!
They were also my top choice--kind of.

Where'd you get accepted so far?

UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan, Penn, Wisconsin

Jesus. :p
Alex Youcis

Yes, but the important thing is not Chicago

Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
@AlexanderGruber Yeah, if there is something that I have learned, it's more about your peers than the school name.
Nowhere you'd want to do PhD at?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:44
I'd probably do one at Stony Brook if they accept me.
they have some nice topology.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
@AlexanderGruber I'm frankly quite shocked you haven't gotten into most places you've applied--you definitely seem top notch.
Alexander Gruber

Haha, you and me both brother.
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
I guess it isn't too unexpected though. My GPA could have been a lot better - I did not have a responsible first 2 years of college.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Do you want to do group theory for a living?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:46
I definitely want to do algebra. Group theory is what I like best so far, but I admit it could be because it's entry level
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
If you're doing group cohomology (I saw you mention Schur multiplier in your one post) that isn't exactly entry level haha
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
I can't rule out finding something I like better later that requires more sophistication to get into, like Kac-Moody algebras or something
lol yeah I guess not. cohomology is a lot of fun though.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Yeah. It takes a while to get used to it. It's like "I'm doing stuff..and I'm doing more stuf...that has finite index..and that cohomology group is trivial...oh wait, I think I just proved Schur-Zassenhaus...oops"
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
hahaha yeah.
then starting to tie it in with other topological concepts
seeing maximal toruses in group structure
then it starts gettin' real good.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Maximal tori? In the sense that you have a maximal torus in a Lie group?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:50
maximal tori of G are the $\mathbb{Z}_p \times \mathbb{Z}_p \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_p$ of largest dimension that occur as subgroups in G
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Oh, hahaha. So, it's like maximal tori in algebraic groups, with your field equal to Z/pZ
I got ya
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
yeah, exactly
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
What do maximal tori tell you? I guess in this context their just maximal elementary abelian subgroups
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
You use them a lot in finite simple groups for various purposes.
I got into them trying to understand another one of Geoff Robinson's answers to my questions
about Hall's theorem
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
That Robinson, is not Robinson like the book Robinson, is it?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:53
I don't think so
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Hmm.
What are you taking this term?
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
I'm writing senior thesis for math and for physics, taking quantum mechanics, complex analysis, and advanced creative writing.
and teaching a group theory course
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Teaching? That's pretty awesome!!
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
yeah :) This prof of mine who I like a lot agreed to let me TA the course and teach a lot of the classes
it's not paid but I totally dig it
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Yeah--I would love to do something like that! I'm jealous haha.
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:55
Well I'm sure they'll let you at Berkeley ;)
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
You mean Calc 1! haha
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
It's probly a prereq for calc 1 there Lol
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
What book are you using to teach the course!
?*
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
Gallian, because that is what the prof wanted to use
I'm encouraging them to buy/rent/library dummit and foote though
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
@AlexanderGruber Ah. Was never a fan of that bok.
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
06:57
Yeah Gallian kind of sucks. Its exercises aren't too bad though, at least.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Yeah, I could see that haha
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
i have no idea what they're doing sometimes though. it taught orbit stabilizer before group actions
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
I'm not even entirely sure I know what that even means haha
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
Oh i see :P Orbit-Stablizer is a theorem about group actions, $|\mathcal{O}_x|=[G:\operatorname{Stab}_G(x)]$.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Hmm? No, I know what orbi-stabilizer means, that's why I was confused as to how one could possibly teach it before group actions
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
07:01
Oh right :p yeah that's what i'm saying
It basically defines it in terms of permutation groups, subgroups of $S_n$
Like it teaches you what a group action is but only when $G=S_n$ and only when the set that's being acted on is $\{1,\ldots,n\}$.
Alex Youcis
Alex Youcis
Ah. Hmm. That's strange haha
Alexander Gruber
Alexander Gruber
yeah, very weird
Anyhow I've got to get going, complex is due tomorrow
