Q: Differential equation: $\frac{dy}{dx}=y(\ln x )\left(\frac{x}{y+1}\right)^2$

user449049I'm having trouble with the following differential equation. Not sure how to proceed. $$\frac{dy}{dx}=y(\ln x )\left(\frac{x}{y+1}\right)^2$$

@AlexKChen oh cool
@SimplyBeautifulArt If you wanna play, come. (We were just playing Gale, followed by Sprouts)
11:31
@AlexKChen nah, I'm fine. Though if you wish, you can advertise my current event.
@SimplyBeautifulArt I already voted to close that problem, and went on to vote to close two other problems posted by same user, all three posted inside of one hour's time.

Q: Proving:$\frac{1}{2i}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{e^{ix}-1}{x}dx = \frac{\pi}{2}$ via Complex Methods?

ZophikelIn Stein's Complex Variables I'm having trouble verifying the conjecture in $(2.)$ $(1.)$ If $f$ is a complex-valued, on $\partial D$ and if it's absolute value $|f(z)|$ is bounded by a constant $M$ for all z on $\partial D$. $$\left|\int_{\partial D} f(z)dz \right| \leq \max:=|f(z)|\int_{a}^{...

       ^ Made a major mistake somewhere
Okay @Zophikel
@Simply I think the intial mistake was the result in $Lemma(3)$ since I dropped $\frac{1}{2i}$ the result was changed
I think that's where the mistake was
Looking specifically: $\oint_{\partial D} \frac{e^{rei\theta}-1}{re^{\theta}}=\frac{e^{rei\theta}-1}{re^{\theta}}\bigg\ver‌​t_{\pi}^{0}+\int_{\pi}^{0}{e^{rei\theta}-1} \frac{e^{rei \theta}-1}{(re^{i \theta})^2}$ If the coefficnet wasn't dropped the result would change
@Simply what's your insight on this
@Zophikel what's $D$ again?
And perhaps you should try again with the coefficient
SBM
SBM
Hello
SBM
SBM
12:21
Good evening
Good morning
@Simply your referring to the semicircular contour which is denoted by $\partial D$
Ah, okay. That's what I thought it was but wasn't entirely sure
@Simply i'll have to add an image with the semicircular contour
:(
my work is crap
Ah pooey, don't ever say that. Let others say it for you.
@Zophikel as I try to read LaTeX on my phone...
12:27
@SimplyBeautifulArt Yup!!
@Simply you actually got it working on you phone
@Zophikel no sadly :-/

contour integrals?
@SBM to whom do you speak?
SBM
SBM
um
I think no one in specific
12:35
Okay, then yes, contour integrals.
SBM
SBM
12:55
Are contour integrals the same thing as Surface integrals?
@SBM no
SBM
SBM
I guess I do not know much about any
What should I learn now?
SBM
SBM
13:35
hello, I guess everyone's busy
14:03
@SBM learn complex analysis!
SBM
SBM
Okay
@user21820 x.x why you say nothing to me?
SBM
SBM
Which part?
Oh looking at the Wiki it seems I might need to start from the beginning
14:11
@SimplyBeautifulArt: I didn't see any comment from you directed at me except when you invited me to participate in a large number contest. I can't though because I'm very busy as I said earlier.
@user21820 ah, okay
SBM
SBM
is an open set something like an open interval?
It's pretty much an abstraction of an open interval @SBM
SBM
SBM
oh, any examples, please.
14:18
Look at the definition, and try to come up with your own :P
@SBM: Open sets are specified by the topological space and simply satisfy the axioms. As to why the axioms are interesting, I so happen to have a post on that:
1
A: What does "open set" mean in the concept of a topology?

user21820Here is an interesting intuitive definition for open set that actually gives rise to the topological axioms! An open set is a collection of objects for which we can easily verify membership of any given member. Note that it may not be easy to verify non-membership of non-members! ...

Rather than (-1,1), you could have the set of complex z such that |z|<1
But it occurs to me that perhaps you encounter the term "open set" in the context of some metric space, in which case it's typically not defined via the topological axioms but via open balls.
Either way, the intuitive notion I describe in the linked post for the topological axioms carry over nicely to the open-ball definition.
Ah, I forget what it's like to have @user21820 back :-)
He's probably busy with PhD stuff he should be doing.
:p
14:24
@SimplyBeautifulArt You're too kind! I haven't been around due to lots of more urgent things to do, and it's not my PhD stuff.
@SBM: As it is, I'm sure @shredalert here can explain more to you if you wish since he has more time to spare than me now, and likes this metric-space stuff, and needs practice. =)
@shredalert: Hope your first year has gone well!
@shredalert is a he?
I still have an exam, but I'm prepared for it. xD
SBM
SBM
Oh, all the best @shredalert
14:27
Tyty
@amWhy: Got my mouse on it! I just love getting rid of bad posts. =D
@SBM There's good stuff on metric spaces here. Give it a quick read and do some exercises. math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/RV.html

thank you; I've got a lot to learn, I'm still in school
Yes that website gets my recommendation too.
SBM
SBM
Such a huge download
@SimplyBeautifulArt No idea hahaha. Only he/she can confirm it. =P
@SBM same feeling
@SBM all the more content :D
SBM
SBM
oh

it
@SimplyBeautifulArt Got it! (And I even "answered" it with essentially, a hint, but will sacrifice in the name of justice!)
14:32
@amWhy :P
SBM
SBM
I'm getting scared what happens to me once school's over
@SBM you getting bullied!? 😱
@SBM Why? Are you worried about the loss of structure that school gives?
SBM
SBM
Bullying has been common in school; but that's not the reason for my worries as I know they don't make much sense.
If you would like some structure/motivation for your learning, I'm sure you've got plenty of us who, depending on the topic(s) you want to cover of summer, You've got us to help keep you on track!! After all, you have entered and frequented this Realm...
SBM
SBM
14:37
I'm more worried about how do I get into a good college and not let anything stop me from my motives, all the time, taking care that I continue becoming better both in the academics as well as or rather more importantly become a better person
Thank you
You've all helped me learn so much
From about supremum and partial derivatives to Real and Complex analysis
@SBM We'll be here for you this summer, too!!
SBM
SBM
Summer's about to get over
i'll be here for the summer too
Need more close votes (two more!) here math.stackexchange.com/questions/2294652/…
@SBM What? Summer hasn't even started yet!

It was about 44 degree celsius today
@SBM No one here is going anywhere any time soon.... we'll be here, in some form or another, in fall and winter etc too.
I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm wondering if I can ask about the Marshal Problem on this site?
The Marshal Problem is a problem (I think I've come up with but who knows) where I'd like to know how many days it would take me to reach 100 flags, if I start at 10, can only use all my flags once a day and get a new flag every 10 flags I use.
would that be ok to ask?
I asked in the other place, but mr 'dir sent me here
SBM
SBM
oh
@SBM You've got a vast resource at your disposal. Literally just start reading and working through stuff you find interesting. Start now while you have lots of free time.

@Edlothiad @Ixrec Hello and welcome to my realm!
It's getting crowded in here @_@
that's what happens when someone links this room in another active chatroom
@shredalert yeah
@Ixrec yeah
@Gallifreyan Hello and welcome to my realm!
So anyone going to let me know whether my question is ok?
(and the welcomes start, and the question is ignored :P)
SBM
SBM
14:56
I'm going to go and eat a few mangoes now
@Edlothiad I believe you could ask that problem, though it sounds quite trivial
SBM
SBM
brb
@SimplyBeautifulArt You can tell me the answer if it's trivial
I mean I could count it out, but I want some fancy way of doing it
like what if I get n for every 10? How long would it take?
14:57
@SimplyBeautifulArt Blame @Mithrandir :D I'm just hovering, don't mind me.
@Edlothiad do you get a new flag each day?
@SimplyBeautifulArt I get a new flag for every 10 I've done
I don't quite understand how you get more flags other than one flag every ten flags
That's the only way
@Edlothiad but you'll run out of flags too quickly, won't you?
14:59
@SimplyBeautifulArt What do you mean?
that's just comment flags, Edlo will still have the post flags available
Wait, can you reuse flags?
@SimplyBeautifulArt No.
Flags get refreshed, i.e. he has 10 flags today, 11 flags tomorrow...
So Day 1 I have 10, day 2 I have 11, Day 3 I have 12, day 4 I have 13... Day x I'll have 20, Day x+1 I'll have 21
14:59
Ah, okay
Was slightly confused at first xD
Actually Day 1 I have 11 because of the 10 I'd just used.
That means i only need 9 of the 11 in day 2 to get another flag. so I'll be 3 on the way to the next 10 on day 3 and only need 7
then day 4 I'll only need 4, so I'll actually go up to 16 on day 5
and skip 15.
But to find a way of doing it without writing it all out is beyond my abilities
@Edlothiad try spotting the pattern...
Is there one?
15:04
Each day you get 11 flags
@SimplyBeautifulArt No?
So I think it should take 10 days
@Edlothiad 10 flags + 1 for using all 10
For the first 3 days I get 1 flag, then on the 4th I get 2 flags
Yeah but not how long it takes me to flag 100 times. But how long it'll take me to be able to flag 100 things
@Edlothiad how do you get 2 flags on the 4th day? I can't see how you've got that many flags to use by then
@Edlothiad just to check I'm understanding this:

total_on_day(1) = 0
quota_on_day(1) = 10
total_on_day(n+1) = total_on_day(n) + quota_on_day(n)
quota_on_day(n+1) = floor(total_on_day(n) / 10)

right?
15:13
Wait till I use my awesome Matlab skills

Matlab contest?
Mathematical?
@Ixrec I'm lost?
@Ixrec Hmm maybe I need more trials
that was my attempt at a simple formalization of your "Mashal problem" to check I understood it
No that's not right
Because on the day I have 14 flags to use I only gain 1 flag when I should gain 2
Let me try to write it out
15:28
wow, didn't realize the rules were that complicated
Total_flags_available_day(1) = 10
Total_flags_used_day(1) = 11 (I used 10 so gained 1, so had one more to use)
Total_flags_available_day(2) = 11
Total_flags_used_day(2) = 12
Total_flags_available_day(3) = 12 (I gained another from the 1 on day one and 9 on day 2. I then had 3 added to the 10 required for my next gained flag)
Total_flags_used_day(3) = 13 (I used 7 to gain a flag, I use 6 more before the end
Total_flags_available_day(4) = 13 (I use 4 to gain a flag. I then use 10 and gain a second
Total_flags_used_day(4) = 15
Total_flags_available_day(5) = 15
Total_flags_used_day(5) = 16 (I gain 1 flag for 10 used and get 6 closer to the next)
SBM
SBM
if it proceeds like that
Total_flags_available_day(6) = 16
Total_flags_used_day(6) = 18 (I use 5 and get a new flag, I then use 10 and get a second new flag, I use 3 more and I'm now three closer to my new flag)
And on day n I reach 100 and can't continue gaining flags
SBM
SBM
oh
9 days?
that can't be right.
15:33
No not at all
by day 9 I'd have around 27
@AlexKChen please don't spam me in the middle of the night.
Sleep well @TheGreatDuck
wat
the post I'm referring to was made 9 hours ago...
@SBM, what happens if it continues like that?
@SimplyBeautifulArt, I'm guessing it's not that trivial that it's ok to ask?
15:58
@SimplyBeautifulArt Invasion of the Realm (or, perhaps, vacationers at the Realm ;-))
SBM
SBM
invasion?
This is number heist. Give me all of your countable numbers!
@SBM I gave the alternative, too: influx of vacationers! (who doesn't want to escape the chatrooms or sites we frequent, once in a while?)
SBM
SBM
oh
@SBM The two comments I posted, immediately prior to this comment, were simply in fun! No worries.

oh
@TheGreatDuck I shalt not! Under any circumstances, I will not reveal the "last" countable number!

@SBM I shot amwhy and took his last number.
SBM
SBM
16:07
his last number?
the one he refused to reveal
@TheGreatDuck Alas, so The Great Duck thinketh, but I was prepared, in armor with a fake "last number", and so, I keepeth my secret!!
What a good book title: "The Last Number: ..."
@amWhy "crises in countably infinite number sets"
if you get the reference good for you. I hate that junk.
@TheGreatDuck I came up with the title off the top of my head.... meant more or less to propose such a title ....
i know i know
i was just being funny cause your title gives the image of "where did all the other numbers go"
16:22
@TheGreatDuck Now that's a clever title, if I've ever seen one!! ;-)
that wasn't a title...
but ok
I like it
@TheGreatDuck That was partly my projection (calling it a title... and not necessarily a title of a book, but the title of a song, as in the spirit of Peter, Paul, and Mary's "Where have all the flowers gone?"
Where have all, the numbers gone, long time passing... See: youtube.com/…

I think, now that I've been listening to classics, like "Blowin' in the Wind", I might take the liberty of answering a poorly asked question: "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind"

@Edlothiad I just don't fully understand what's going on
@SimplyBeautifulArt This is number heist. Give me all of your countable numbers!
@tuskiomi oh hey
@TheGreatDuck too late! All I have are transfinite ordinals!
cocks shotgun
@SimplyBeautifulArt Have you seen the question? It might be clearer?
you sure about that?
17:18
@Edlothiad I have not yet seen
@TheGreatDuck I am. My ordinals are too much for you :P
ba-bang! @SimplyBeautifulArt
XP
I hath been shot!
I'll be taking those transfinite ordinals
kra-kang! @SimplyBeautifulArt
XD you could've just asked for them
but I'm a robber and I have to shoot someone to advance the meaningless plot
17:20
Ah, okay
@Mithrandir hey? What's up? :-)
SBM
SBM
good night
Well, g'night @SBM
night night ;-)
@TheGreatDuck Sky still hasn't fallen yet?
17:22
ba-bang! @SBM
alright, I'm done.
@SBM night!
@Mithrandir the sky is always falling. It's just so light that we don't notice. It is constantly putting weight on us. So when chicken little screamed "the sky is falling", the proper response should've been: "Yeah, so? Tell us something we didn't already know."
17:40
but if you apply the hairy ball, that means some parts of the sky are also rising!!
@tuskiomi no. The sky is steadily condensing into bedrock and will eventually vanish from the earth.
What about helium pockets, meteorites, and thermal rising fronts?
government lies
O. even the helium?
elements are a lie
wanna know a secret?
just start saying random numbers and watch what happens
17:45
12 34 56
78 90...
12 34 56
78 90
woah
we got the same list!
Proof that the government lies!
no it's proof we're all machines
cannot generate proper random numbers
XD
can't machines generate random numbers?

but they are never truly random
17:47
Via compression algorithms, they can reach random sets
no they cannot
also watch this
post something
well we are all using the same one
that's why we always give the same list
anyways

I came up with the attribution to "ty" as meaning "teen yodeling" off the top of my head...and interestingly, found a "pop artist" yodeling, and an on-the-verge-of-teenhood yodeler who is pretty amazing. Never listened to this much yodeling as I have this past hour.!
