In the abstract index notation of Penrose, indicies serve as placeholders to indicate the type of a tensor field. For example, $X^i$ denotes a vector field.

Given the quotient ring $R:=\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]/(xy-z^2)$, I've to check whether it's a field or an integral domain. I'd say that $R$ is a field and an integral domain because $(xy-z^²)$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]$ (Eisenstein with $x \in \mathbb{C}[x,y][z]$). However I know that $R$...

The rule for addition is stated in the Peano axioms as: $a + 0 = a$ $a + succ(b) = succ(a + b)$ But why couldn't we define it as $a + 0 = a$ $a + succ(b) = succ(a) + b$ for example $3 + 4 = 4 + 3 = 5 + 2 = 6 + 1 = 7 + 0 = 7$ What makes the usual definition the preferred one?

She frees herself, finds quarantine curtains around the bed of a guy in the room with no memory, and a dead guard in a room...

I've been playing around with elliptic integrals lately and I came across Legendre's relation, relating the complete integrals of the first and second kind, $K(k)$ and $E(k)$ respectively: $E(k)K(\sqrt{1-k^{2}})+E(\sqrt{1-k^{2}})K(k)-K(k)K(\sqrt{1-k^2})=\frac{\pi}{2}$. To verify this, I tried p...
