some guys must be kidding with their answers
taking the stirling formula for $\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{n!}{n^2}$
i thought about to mention it as a joke but check it yourself math.stackexchange.com/questions/324549/…
@DominicMichaelis +1
@skullpatrol thanks :)
09:39
oh you already got a gold badge congratulations
did I?
thx
yeah reversal for, how many digits of pi are known
hmm...$\pi$ I like pie:-D
hi
i have a question
askaway
kinda blanking on this i feel like the answer should be simple but does there exist a continuous function from R to the n-shpere
i don't care if its bijective
well i want it to be onto
surjective
09:53
yeah there exists one @akt
@DominicMichaelis, I don't think there is unless n=1
the topology is too different
there is a continuous surjection from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$
what is it?
oh space filling curve
that's crazy.......
what about a closed subset of R
for instance [0 to 2pi]
09:57
i only know the case $\mathbb{R}$ to $\matbb{R}^2$ but i think there should be similiar stuff for everything else
@akt904 yeah
or wait
but then unprojection gives you a surjective map from R^2 to S^2 \ {0}
for open subsets its trivial
for closed non singletons mh
whats mh?
i am thinking
i know bijections from open to closed subsets
but not continuous ones for sure
yeah topology rules out open to closed continuous bijection
10:01
for closed subsets its not possible in general you have to say something like the cardinalty is equal to $\mathbb{R}$
mh whats about taking the discrete topology will make it easier to find continuous functions :D
haha no i need it to be in the standard topology
im trying to show that if i have a continuous function from g:S^n -> R^n there exist g(-x)=g(x) from some x \in S^n
mh for closed, non trivial, connected subsets it should be possible
so really im trying to construct a continuous function f: R-> S^n in order ot compose it with g to apply intermediate value
property
sounds a bit like the hairy ball theorem
this kicks of all even cases
In mathematics, the Borsuk–Ulam theorem, named after Stanislaw Ulam and Karol Borsuk, states that every continuous function from an n-sphere into Euclidean n-space maps some pair of antipodal points to the same point. Here, two points on a sphere are called antipodal if they are in exactly opposite directions from the sphere's center. According to (), the first historical mention of the statement of this theorem appears in (). The first proof was given by (), where the formulation of the problem was attributed to Ulam. Since then, many alternate proofs have been found out by various auth...
10:08
wait
we did have it in analysis 1
(not that theorem but something like that
the one dimensional case maybe?
the case $\mathbb{S}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ ^^
you would still need a function from R to S^n in that case wouldnt you?
so taht you could apply Intermediate value property?
In the aqueous reaction, $H_{2}O+H_{2]CO_{3]=H_{3}O^{+}+HCO_{3}^{-}$, would the base, just be water?
specificly a compact subset of R
*connected
10:12
mh something like a space filling curve ?
yes i suppose
i havent seen a space filling curve go up more than one dimension though
kleinian groups
i dont know what those are
mh maby euler characteristic helps
don't ask me i am in the third semester :D
nice idea
ahh ahaha i haven't seen algebreic topology yet
what is the euler characteristic an invariant of?
and is the planes different from the spheres...
the disk has char. 1 and the sphere 2
10:17
so we need a zero don't we ?
Good day everybody!
@DominicMichaelis hi
i have a test tommorow thats gonna kick my butt
Is there a name for such algebraic structure as a set that is monoid with respect to addition and monoid with respect to multiplication and these operations agree?
10:30
semiring ?
oh for a semiring you need commutative addition
@DominicMichaelis yeaaaah, nice!)
and is there an analogue of module in the case when I'm given a commutative monoid with linear action of semiring?
for example $k$-positively homogenous nonnegative functions
sry i don't know
i have to do something see you later
bye

@Nimza Very deep...
:D
Just saw a retina macbook pro, did not seem too much different from my laptop (162ppi) (May be my eyes are weak, but my optician thinks otherwise!)

Q: What was the first bit of mathematics that made you realize that math is beautiful? (For children's book)

LizI'm a children's book writer and illustrator, and I want to to create a book for young readers that exposes the beauty of Mathematics. I recently read Paul Lockhart's essay "The Mathematician's Lament," and found that I, too, lament the uninspiring quality of my elementary math education. I want...

12:09
hey
hello
Does the automatic quality filter prevent anyone from posting, or does it just put up a warning?
quality blocks you from posting until you add random rubbish
im sure lots of people don't even think to do that, so just give up
Ah. I guess I never triggered it that I can remember
12:15
what thought process would solve this math.stackexchange.com/questions/324609/… ? I just tried using product-to-sum identities sin(a)sin(b), cos(a)sin(b) repeatedly.. which doesn't seem to have any pattern to it for up to n=5
12:27
@user58512 why you get the 1/2^n
and n \cdot \cos(0)
something like that ^^
@robjohn What was the first bit of mathematics that made you realize that math is beautiful?
12:48
In my opinion, it's sort of like asking when did you first realize that flowers were beautiful?
user19161
@skullpatrol Hmm, maybe the result that a circle inscribed in a right triangle with integral sides has integral radius.
user19161
@skullpatrol Hmm, maybe when I got a bunch of blue roses for my friend for a concert performance.
@JacobBlack Yes, those are things of beauty.
user19161
@skullpatrol As beautiful as skullie.
Oh gosh...
... not as beautiful as your use of language.
user19161
12:56
I wonder when skullie and anon will reveal their names...
2 hours ago, by Nimza
@JacobBlack name is nothing, color and form is everything
I have a question(raising hands)
I know that varprojlim is the projective limit, but how about the inverse limit? Any information is thanked greatly.
Hi guys
hello!
13:01
Hi again skull
Hi awllower
@JacobBlack his name is....Johnny Blaze
user19161
@Charlie I doubt it.
It should be Jean Valjean
I kid...
13:18
There is no fun when you add "I kid" at the end.
@skullpatrol is Skullpatrol.End.
But I am afraid that it might be misunderstood, so, for the sake of clarity, I add that.
Hope you mind not.
@Charlie :/
@Charlie ?
@skullpatrol what?
@awllower I mind!! I mind it that you are not offensive enough for it to be fun anymore. :P
13:22
What do you mean by ".End" @Charlie
Alright
I shall stop adding I kid.
:D
Maybe I shall add:
I kid, but please laugh as well...
A little stupid. :P
@skullpatrol your name is Skullpatrol, no need to ask it again, like QED
@Charlie Ask what again?
13:26
@skullpatrol I think he means: skullpatrol, this is just the name, and there is no more thing to do. Case comlpeted!

Q: Monotonicity of a fraction

Thomas ArildsenIf I have a fraction $f(x) = \dfrac{n(x)}{d(x)}$, where $n(x)$ increases monotonically and $d(x)$ decreases monotonically; as functions of $x$. Can I be sure that $f(x)$ increases monotonically as a function of $x$? I can think of examples where both $n(x)$ and $d(x)$ increase monotonically, an...

user19161
Am I overthinking here?
user19161
I seem to be the only one addressing negative values, lol.
mh i urgently need to win more prices, a price alone doesn't look good in a CV
What prices?
13:29
prizes*
What prize(s) do you already have?
Like Abel?
Or fields!!
Fields is a medal, not a prize.
Or
Hm
Sorry for that...
13:29
wait need to google a translateion
translation
@Charlie Oh, I get it: "Skullpatrol is Skullpatrol. The End."
Congrats!
:)
@JayeshBadwaik The Gerhard Herzberg prize for special effort in teaching 2013
@DominicMichaelis what did you teach?
@DominicMichaelis As I am quite curious, might I ask if you are going to teach for a living in the future?
13:32
I have a tutor job for analysis 1
Ahaa, I see. Cool.
@awllower it's my dream to become prof, but i don't know if I ever will be good enough
user19161
I think I now know why people don't like my answers, lol.
NP
Just pursue what you want: this is what we live for. At least that is what I think.
@JacobBlack Why?
user19161
@DominicMichaelis From what I have seen so far, I think you are good enough.
13:33
@JacobBlack oh thanks a lot :)
user19161
@awllower I can't put it in words.
Alright.
Still good for that!
:D
user19161
I should aim for 20k and then retire after that.
Do not leave for tomorrow, what you can do today. Do not leave for today, what you can do right now.
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik Ah, that is a random comment?
13:37
@JacobBlack No.
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik Ah, then who or what are you addressing?
@JacobBlack I am addressing you alright, what exactly I am addressing is a secret! :P
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik I have no idea what you are talking about, but never mind. If you are talking about my problems, like I told you before, they are not easy to deal with.
@JacobBlack No, no. Nothing about that. One of those above things about your aims you said can be done right now, so why wait! :P
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik You mean 20k? LOL.
13:41
@JacobBlack No, the other thing.
@skull I accept the fact that you'll never tell me your real name, so I have Skull as your onlu name
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik Oh, my new crush!
I agree with jayesh
@JacobBlack No!! Retire already! If you anyway want to retire, why delay?
@skull bye
user19161
13:43
@JayeshBadwaik Ah, then you must be joking.
user19161
Your joke is not funny, LOL.
@jacob i would prefer if you don't retire, i like you :)
user19161
@DominicMichaelis I like you too. But I am not gay, don't worry. =)
same with me
He's not joking @jacob
user19161
13:45
@dom Will you change your avatar?
Mh i don't know I don't look good on pictures
user19161
@DominicMichaelis You can be a coloured square, hehe.
Or you could be Hecke characters or tate thesis!
:P
@DominicMichaelis how not?
user19161
@Charlie Oh OK. Well, you can just ignore me if you don't want to see me here.
13:48
@awllower i did read a disseration about iwora hecke algebras
@JacobBlack Don't worry, I like to see you here bro 8-).
You keep saying you wanna delete your account
@awllower Do you see any "I kid" here? This how it is done. :P
user19161
@Charlie Just ignore me then.
2
user19161
Click "ignore this user", QED.

13:49
@JayeshBadwaik I see!
:P
@DominicMichaelis Good. And how do you feel about the paper?
user19161
@jonas You don't post very much on this site?
to be honest i expected more from a dissertation, I know the guy who has written it, but it was more or less trivial stuff (maybe high level trivial stuff) but still nothing where i thought wow
Oh, I see.
Maybe you can find other papers on such a topic. :P
at the moment i read mac lanes categories for working mathematicans
@JacobBlack I was joking. The joke got drawn out as you did not see what I meant.
13:53
It is indeed a good book!
user19161
@JayeshBadwaik NP
user19161
Yay, I got 2 more stars!
3
yeah i should buy it on amazon the resolution of my pdf is not satisfying
user19161
@DominicMichaelis Real men read real books.
BTW, have you heard of the book CFT by Emil.Artin and John.Tate?
I just found that, and thought this was definitely a good classic!
user19161
13:56
No, CFT is something I will probably never touch.
Really!
user19161
There are two Artins, Michael and Emil!
3
user19161
One is the father, one is the son, right?
2
Yes
I edited.
i already capped today
-.-
and yesterday i didn't cap
13:58
I thought the cap wa 400?
no it's 200 only
Oh
But the first day you got like..; 345?
All because of acceptance?
user19161
I have Emil Artin's Galois Theory.
Oh ja: it is also a classical introduction in my opinion.
user19161
It is written in an old-fashioned style.
14:01
Yes
@awllower yeah at the first day i got a lot of accepts
or wait
user19161
@DominicMichaelis Yeah, they sense you are a new force in this universe, lol.
OK
I got it. !)
you get 100 points when your are active on other sited too
http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8426165#8426165
Hm, so our universe has more than 4 forces?
user19161
14:02
You get 100 bonus once you get 100 on any site and have 2 accounts.
user19161
@awllower Do you know you can use the right arrow to reply?
Might I ask what do you refer to?
user19161
@awllower The arrow on the right of the message if you hover over with your mouse.
@JacobBlack this does not work either.
user19161
14:04
@awllower New force? I just mean they sense the greatness of our Dominic!
@JacobBlack hi
yeah it works :D
haha
But it works not for messages.
user19161
Now clicking on the left arrow links backwards.
user19161
So people know which line you are replying to.
But my right arrow works not..
14:05
its where you can star
right of the star
there is the same sign as the enter
just in the different direction
user19161
There are more chat tips, but that will do for now.
It links to the user, not to the message.
@JacobBlack hi
look: I tried to link to your message, but it goes to you!
user19161
@awllower Yes, you just did it.
user19161
Link to which line?
I am totally confused...
user19161
14:07
Of course, you are replying to my line, what else!
user19161
I am confused about your confusion...
Oh I see...
NP now.
I am confused because I am blind *.*
hahaha
@DominicMichaelis Now you have two times more reps than I do...
Soon you will have 10K!
yeah i am having holidays at the moment :D
:D
My reps are having a Holiday, not me...
They stop increasing!!
:D
you still got much more silver badges :)
14:13
Haha
L8er everyone!
14:38
i am so excited about the next semester
And exactly why?
i listen to introduction to algebra
and topology
Great!
and no numeric anymore
Cheers!
:D
14:44
i will make a tutor job linear algebra for physics
i am thinking if i shall introduce them to category theory
Well...
It depends upon their abilities, of course.
cause i love the definition of a monoid in category theory
all the structure is so mh lovely (?)
But in my case, the Physics students generally do not have such an abillity to understand so abstract things like this.
right now i only study physics not math :D
Great to hear that!
I look forward to the day that you talk about some CFT!
14:47
my experience is that students don't unterstand anything, so i can make the stuff i like :D
Hm... The baseball team of my country just losses a game...
haha
so I guess I have to study some German now...
just a joke, i guess if it is well enough explained and the students are motivated you can teach them everything
but sadly most students just care about marks and exams
indeed.
Every time I tried to explain some CFT to some classmates, they refused...
Why no one replied me?
I thought that I was clear enough, maybe I missed something again?
http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/321918/number-dividing-the-discriminant-of-a-field-extension/322167#322167
sry my abilities in galouis theory are retarted :D
Never mind. :D
15:58
@skullpatrol I don't know if it convinced me that math was beautiful, but what got me started studying math was a simple algebra word problem in a story we were reading in sixth grade. I have no idea what the story was, but I asked my dad how the problem was solved. He wrote out a formula but didn't give me much more. I read up on Algebra in the World Book Encyclopedia, and then took out books from the library. Before seventh grade, I was studying differential calculus. I was hooked.
