@robjohn can u help plz?
 
@pourjour just a sec
 
@robjohn thanks
 
@pourjour let $y=\sin^{-1}(x)$ then $\sin(y)=x$ and $\cos(y)\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=1$
 
@robjohn is there any other ways using maybe the $atan(x)$
 
@pourjour since $\cos(y)=\sqrt{1-x^2}$...
@pourjour there might be, but this is the simplest. Do you have another in mind?
@pourjour $\sin^{-1}(x)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)$
@pourjour Of course then you need to know the derivative of $\arctan(x)$
 
7:20 PM
$|\int u du| \leq \int |u| du$. Is that identity correct? Is there a term for it?
 
@sonicboom For discrete spaces, it is a generalization of the triangle inequality. For spaces with finite measure, it is Jensen's inequality...
 
@robjohn yeah i have the $arctan(x)$ derivative , $arctan(x)= \frac{1}{1+x^2}$
 
@pourjour and then the derivative of $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
 
@robjohn I think it's $\frac{1+x^2-2x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}
$\frac{1+x^2-2x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}$
$\frac{1-x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}$
 
@pourjour How do you get $1+x^2$ in the denominator from $\sqrt{1-x^2}$?
 
7:28 PM
@robjohn this is the derivative of $arctan(x)$
 
@pourjour I thought you said that the derivative of $\arctan(x)$ was $\frac1{1+x^2}$
@pourjour Now we need the derivative of $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
 
@robjohn yes
@robjohn why where did u get this?
 
13 mins ago, by robjohn
@pourjour $\sin^{-1}(x)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)$
 
@robjohn is that a rule
?
 
@pourjour You asked if this could be done using $\arctan(x)$. This is $\arcsin(x)$ in terms of $\arctan$
 
7:41 PM
@robjohn yeah and so, how can I get this $\forall \quad x\quad \in \quad ]-1;1[\quad (f^{ -1 })^{ ' }(x)\quad =\quad \frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 1-x^{ 2 } } }$ from the relation you had mentionned
 
To check wheter a point is asymptotic stable or not for a differential system, do I have to solve the differential system?
 
how can i use the pythagorean generator for 5w^2 to output gcd(1) terms only?
 
Anyone want a trip back in time with some of my calc homework? math.stackexchange.com/questions/250194/…
 
@pourjour Yep - that's me
@pourjour that photo was taken as I was looking at a camel I was about to try to ride :)
 
@OldJohn I think I got Will Jagy's relation working
 
7:54 PM
@KaliMa Good - you might also look at a solution I did a while ago which is relevant to exactly the same equation
 
ah
however, it seems like this parameterization generates nonprimitives too, correct?
 
user19161
@OldJohn Still getting used to your lovely new photo!
 
what i'd like to do is generate all unique primitive solutions to a^2+b^2=5c^2 where a<b<c
how can I accomplish this with Jagy's parameters?
i.e. how to properly scan through q and r?
 
@WillHunting not sure I would ever describe it as lovely ... but it is OK
 
user19161
@OldJohn Maybe it looked better than the previous one!
 
8:01 PM
@KaliMa Will's process certainly generates precisely all the primitive solutions (probably have to iterate over $q,r$ which are coprime) - you can then sort them into order if you wish by bubblesort or similar
 
it generates more than primitives though
since many of the results have gcd>1
 
@KaliMa probably get rid of those by taking $q,r$ coprime
 
i feel like there has to be an easier way
the original pyth. triplet generator doesn't need to do that
 
@WillHunting Hello dear friend!
 
@KaliMa I very much doubt it - I would recommend studying Will's method carefully (actually identical to the method I used in my solution I posted a few minutes ago - I had forgotten it was exactly the same conic!). Will Jagy is very competent indeed at quadratic forms - you could learn a lot ...
 
8:06 PM
is there a systematic way to generate all r coprime to q?
 
@KaliMa the original Pthyag parametrisation certainly DOES have to do that - to get primitive solutions you have to ensure that $m,n$ are coprime AND of opposite parity - please check
 
or does that take more effort than just going through all q,r?
 
@pourjour hello!
 
ahhh you are right
def triples(r):
  for n in xrange(1, r):
    if (n*n + (n+1)*(n+1) > r): break
    for m in xrange(n+1, r, 2):
      if (n*n + m*m > r): break
      if (gcd(n, m) > 1): continue
      yield (m*m - n*n, 2*m*n, m*m + n*n)
hmmm with jagy's generator checking for gcd(q,r)=1 is not enough
 
@KaliMa maybe opposite parity as well?
 
8:13 PM
hm nope
did this check

if gcd(q,r)>1: continue
if q%2==r%2: continue
 
@KaliMa there is almost certainly some simple modulus condition on $q,r$ which will guarantee solutions are primitive - try tabulating and looking for patterns
 
seems like they can be odd/even, even/odd, or odd/odd
but not even/even
that isnt enough though to ensure primality
 
@KaliMa try looking at other moduli other than 2 - maybe 3 or 5 or ...
 
tried that, nothing odd
 
try tabulating - and shade the squares which do not give primitive solutions and spot a pattern
 
8:21 PM
i dont know what that means
 
draw a square grid with $q$ and $r$ taking values 1, 2, 3, ...
 
Can I write as the solution of $x(t)=A(t)x(t)$ the equation $x(t)=X(t,t_0)x_0+\int_{t_0}^{t}X(t,s)A(s)ds$ where "X(t,t_0)" is the principal matrix solution ?

0's = the gcd was >1 so i just put 0, the others show the raw gcd
 
I have an angle as a real number; knowing it is greater than Pi, how to get this same angle between Pi and -Pi ?
 
er no that's wrong
oh worry, right, i meant the 0's meant the GCD of u,v was too high so we can ignore it
the values otherwise show gcd of the triplet
 
8:31 PM
@lvella Não entendi...
 
@lvella that doesn't make any sense - can you explain
 
ok, not an angle
I have a rotation, in radians
supose 66.345 rad
 
@lvella okay
 
filled in the matrix with 1's when the triplet was primitive, 0 otherwise; no pattern

and suppose a clock pointer has rotated that amount of radians
 
8:36 PM
@lvella yes...
 
what is the angle between its final position and its initial position?
 
@ColorfulTrauma Not another Argon joke...
 
@Argon Aaron!!!
 
@Charlie Hi again, Marilia!
 
@lvella I think you just want to subtract enough multiples of $2\pi$ to get an answer in the range $-\pi$ to $+\pi$
 
8:40 PM
hm it looks like i need more than the primitives
jagy's method actually doesn't generate all primitives
 
yes; I need to program it, and I was trying to avoid having to do a lot of subtractions
 
and you can get the appropriate number of multiples by rounding $\theta/(2\pi)$ to the nearest integer
 
ok, thanks
 
@KaliMa yes - it should generate all primitives - as well as some that aren't primitive - just sieve them out
 
it doesn't because when i put a stopper in my code that says "if the gcd of b,c,w is > 1, continue" i get a different result
than if i just generate and divide by gcd
which means it isn't generating all primitives
 
8:44 PM
@KaliMa can you give me a primitive solution that is not generated by his method?
 
i may be making an error
is there any reason this would do it:
for q in range(1,bound):
    for r in range(1,bound):
        if gcd(q,r)>1: continue
        if q%2==r%2==0: continue

        b = abs(2*q**2 - 2*q*r - 2*r**2)
        c = abs(-q**2 - 4*q*r + r**2)
        w = abs(q**2 + r**2)
bound is some arbitrary limit for q and r
it's looking for positive q and r
will this mean i miss out?
 
@KaliMa: can you give me a primitive solution that is not generated by his method?
 
hm no, even when i change lowerbound to -bound, same wrong result
 
@Argon Do you know uniform continuity?
 
@Charlie No, sorry
 
8:48 PM
@Argon it's okay!
 
You think too highly of me
 
@Argon shouldn't I?
 
i dont know at this point
this is a huge mess
i don't know why this is so mindnumbingly difficult
all i know is that if i ensure gcd=1 by continuing if not true, wrong answer
 
@Charlie Well, why?
 
if i divide by gcd instead of limiting it, right answer
 
8:55 PM
@Argon you're good!
 
@Charlie At what?????
 
@Argon math, of course
 
Does $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{1}{{n \choose k}}=2$$
@Charlie Not.. really...
I like it, but I'm not fantastic
I'm also not particularly rigourous :)
 
@Argon are you online in gt?
 
@Charlie 1 sec
Yep, now
Got your stuff

9:10 PM
So I just read that in incognito mode Chrome doesn't save anything in the cache. Initially I thought that storing stuff in the cache could be why it freezes in chat. Now the only conclusion I have is that it somehow doesn't like me.
 
user19161
Hey @rob we entered at the same time!
 
@WillHunting Hi Will!!
 
user19161
@Charlie Hello.
 
user19161
@Argon Hello.
 
user19161
@Charlie Are you guys sharing secrets there?
 
9:11 PM
@WillHunting yes
 
@WillHunting Why yes!
 
user19161
So many secrets!
 
}:)
 
@Argon hahaha
 
user19161
I can change my username in 11 hours...
 
9:13 PM
yuppie!
 
@WillHunting Hahaha! Countdown!
 
user19161
@Argon Yes, after which I will reveal secrets to Skylar!
 
@Argon how funny!
 
user19161
@Argon I lost many points today due to exceeding the cap by too much!
 
9:15 PM
@WillHunting I wish I had that problem! :)
 
user19161
@Argon Some days you get too little, some days too much.
 
@WillHunting how profound...
 
user19161
@Argon I see that you have a fan too, I have a suspicion who it might be...
 
user19161
@Charlie Profound but profundity.
 
@WillHunting Who could it be?
 
9:17 PM
@WillHunting what fan? who is his fan?
 
user19161
Pronounce but pronunciation.
 
user19161
@Charlie That's our secret!
 
user19161
Hey @amwhy I see that you have capped for many days! Well done!
 
@WillHunting Bleh.
 
@WillHunting hmm...
 
9:18 PM
hmmm
 
user19161
@Argon That sounds like a Pedro.
 
user19161
@Charlie That sounds like a Jayesh.
 
@WillHunting Sounds like Will.
2 days ago, by Peter Tamaroff
@WillHunting bleh
 
@WillHunting i only realize how annoying it is when he does that to me...
Excuse me boys, dinner time!
 
@Charlie am I included in "boys" ? :P
 
9:20 PM
@OldJohn yes
 
user19161
@OldJohn Yes, age is not relevant here.
 
@Charlie Have a yummy...meal
 
user19161
That's why they have Old Boys Association.
 
well - I was once, I suppose :)
 
@WillHunting Ok, just don't erase it! I woke up now and I'm going to read it.
 
9:21 PM
@Argon thanks Aaron
 
user19161
@GustavoBandeira Where is my eraser?!
 
@GustavoBandeira I forgot to say before, sorry: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

@WillHunting Will Hunting writes on mirrors
 
user19161
@Argon You remembered! And also on windows, like John Nash!
 
user19161
@GustavoBandeira Oh happy birthday!
 
9:23 PM
@WillHunting Hahha, my parents would probably kill me if I started writing on mirrors and stuff :)
 
@WillHunting did we? That is a coincidence!
 
@robjohn Not exactly simultaneous (from here) - but very close :)
 
@OldJohn I think I will stop this here :-)
 
@robjohn wise :)
 
@pourjour sorry, I had to go afk. Which relation were you asking about?
 
9:44 PM
@sonicboom - I reckon you got all three answers correct :)
 
user19161
10:10 PM
@argon I think I won't give the Friday song anymore.
 
@WillHunting Ok.
Everybody is looking forward to the weekend.
 
user19161
@Argon Hmm, I really like the Nothing's gonna change my love for you song, I have been listening to it the past few days...
 
@WillHunting Fun, fun, fun, fun...
 
user19161
@Argon You have been infected!
 
Hahahaha!
We so excited.
 
user19161
10:16 PM
Yay, I got 230 today with 2 accepts!
 
@WillHunting YAY!
 
user19161
@Argon Another nice Westlife song youtube.com/watch?v=va5d3Fr8uQI
 
back
 
@Charlie How was dinner?
 
@Argon Good!
 
user19161
10:25 PM
So @argon @charlie what secrets did you two share?
 
@Charlie I made a $\blacksquare$!

A: Computation of a certain integral

Argon$$\cos x = \frac{e^{i x}+e^{-ix}}{2}$$ Thus $$\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{dx}{a-\frac{e^{i x}+e^{-ix}}{2}} = \oint_C \frac{1}{a-\frac{z+z^{-1}}{2}} \frac{dz}{iz} = - i\oint_C \frac{dz}{az-\frac{z^2+1}{2}} = 2i\oint_C \frac{dz}{z^2-2az+1}$$ where $C$ describes the unit circle $|z|=1$, centred at the or...

@WillHunting Secret ones :)
 
user19161
@Argon Hahahahaha!
 
@WillHunting We don't share secrets..we make secrets...
 
user19161
@Argon So secretive!
 
@WillHunting We should work for the CIA.
 
10:26 PM
@Argon yes...
 
user19161
@Argon Aaron is obsessed with integrals!
 
@WillHunting hehehe!
 
user19161
I like integrals too, but only the theory, not the computation.
 
It's a nice solution too!
 
@Argon Great! Thanks!
 
user19161
10:28 PM
Is there anyone here who has seen Gelbaum's Modern Real and Complex Analysis?
 
Nopes
 
user19161
That book is terribly expensive, and contains a huge amount of material.
 
@WillHunting integrals ae obsessed with Aaron!
 
user19161
Hmm, just 160 more to 8k, and then I can retire... =)
 
@WillHunting Do you have a copy?
@WillHunting Riiiigggghhhttttt
 
user19161
10:30 PM
@Argon No, never seen one online either.
 
@WillHunting I shall go on a quest to find it!
 
@WillHunting you have threatened to retire several times - but I am REALLY retired :)
 
By legal means (cough cough)
 
user19161
@OldJohn Hehe.
 
user19161
@Argon Hehe.
 
10:32 PM
@Argon a ha ha hahaha
 
user19161
Anyway that Gelbaum book is not widely used. But other than Rudin he's about the only guy who does both in one book at that level.
 
user19161
I am waiting for 0000 GMT to furiously upvote again...
 
@Argon i forgot to tell you something...
 
hm?
 
@Argon it's a secret
really
 
user19161
10:37 PM
@Charlie Hahahaha, is it the secret that I know?
 
@WillHunting no.
 
@Charlie Happy birthday! One year nearest to death!
 
user19161
@Charlie So secretive!
 
@GustavoBandeira yay
 
user19161
@GustavoBandeira What? You two have the same?
 
10:38 PM
@WillHunting yes..
@WillHunting it's not my birthday...
 
:7115855 You are a statisticians nightmare.
 
user19161
@Charlie OIC.
 
user19161
@Argon Hahahahaha.
 
user19161
So @argon I was looking at the name Mariah Carey and realised that it contains the letters of Skylar's name!
 
@WillHunting Accepted your answer
 
10:40 PM
@WillHunting Some, I guess :)
 
user19161
@GustavoBandeira Good good.
 
No coincidences, right?
 
user19161
@Argon HAHAHAHA. Yes.
 
user19161
@Charlie Hmm, now I am left to guess what secret that is...
 
@WillHunting MWAHAHAHAHAH
 
10:42 PM
:)
 
user19161
@Charlie Is it related to someone in this chat?
 
@WillHunting Maybe me!
 
@Argon yes
 
user19161
@Argon Will I get to see your picture?
 
@WillHunting My face is a sign that says "no breathing."
 
user19161
10:45 PM
@Argon Hmm OK, I hope to see it in future! =)
 
@Charlie I'll post this on your answers:
 
@GustavoBandeira ha ha ha....
 
@Charlie What does it mean?
 
@Argon sarcastic laugh
 
user19161
@petertamaroff You misspelled Lipschitz in the comment.
 
10:52 PM
@WillHunting SN alert!
 
Lipcshitz
Lischpitz
 
Lipszchiz
 
user19161
Sounds like armpit to me.
 
user19161
HAHAHAHAHA
 
:)
 
user19161
10:55 PM
@OldJohn Is it midnight there?
 
@WillHunting very nearly
 
user19161
Is there any reason for people to have a PS file these days? It seems only PDF is in use.
 
user19161
I only use PS as an intermediate format when compiling pstricks graphics.
 
user19161
And normal people don't even have a PS viewer on their OS.
 
@WillHunting I have a PS viewer - am I abnormal?
