Let $\Omega = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}$ be an outcome space. Let $X$ be a function defined on $\Omega$ given as $$X(\omega) = \begin{cases} 5 \quad \text{when $\omega = 1,8$} \\ \pi \quad \text{when $\omega = 2,3,4,5,6,7$} \end{cases} $$ Find the smallest $\sigma$-algebra $F$ that makes $X$ into a r...

Here's an exercise from an old Egyptian textbook published in 1828. I'll try to preserve the main idea while translating it into English. Let $k\geq2$ be a natural number.

In other words, if I put a bomb set for 2.2 microseconds and send it out at .99c, would it travel further than (.99c x 2.2 microseconds)? And if it does, like muons do, wouldn’t the bomb be able to tell that it has gone faster than light for the 2 microseconds it was alive?

In Chapter 19 of The Silmarillion, there is the following passage: Thus Beren came before King Finrod Felagund; and Felagund knew him, needing no ring to remind him of the kin of Bëor and of Barahir.

The Talmud in Megillah.9a describes the process of the translation of the OT to Greek, aka the Septuagint.

This datasheet for a Rohm SCT3017 silicon-carbide N-channel power MOSFET's Safe Operating Area only extends as fast as 100µs. Why no trace for 10µs?

I wonder whether there is any difference between a last call and a final call, in the context of boarding airplanes. E.g., does one of the term indicate a higher level of urgency?

Typically, induction is done by proving that $P(1)$ and $P(n) \implies P(n+1)$ for all $n$. Is it possible to instead prove $P(1)$ and $P(n+1) \implies P(n)$? Provided that $n$ is arbitrarily large, it seems that this should prove the statement for all $n$.

After many years of school, I recently started work. I learned about the different categories of health insurance: for an HMO I have to contact my PCP, PPO gives more flexibility, and POS is somewhere in between. More flexibility in choosing doctors should cost more. This is my extent of knowledg...

I'm trying to identify a British import on Canadian TV I remember watching around the 1980s.

Consider the following minimal example of my problem: eq = (a^2 + a == b^2) I would like to manipulate this equation to achieve: a == b^2 - a^2 First, note the obvious point that solving for a in this context is not appropriate as Solve[eq, a] solves the quadratic equation, which is not my goa...

I was trying to prove that any quadratic formula ($ax^2 + bx + c$) will not be injective, but I have a little problem. I started by assuming $f(x) = f(y)$. We can put x and y into the general form of quadratic function, and we get $ax^2 + bx + c = ay^2 + by + c$ Subtract c from both sides and org...

In a centrifuge, $a_c$ should be constant. If $m$ increases, the $r$ will increase in order to maintain a constant $a_c$. Constant centrieptal acceleration is given by $a_c={ v^2 \over r}$ and $a_c = \omega^2 * r$ But the conflict between these two equations arises when we increase $r$. In the ...

Two extended bodies are connected with a string and revolve around each other (that is, around the center of mass of this system). No gravity, no external forces.

Let $F$ be a real closed field. Let $X$ be a positive-dimensional algebraic variety over $F$. If $X$ finitely many $F$-points are they all singular?

I learned basics of the piano mostly from youtube, intervals, various chords formulas including sevenths, diminished but I try to very closely follow the best practices. I learn inversions and hand positions through some more complex pieces (complex to my current level). Everybody says it's super...

Assume that $f: \mathbb{R^3} \rightarrow \mathbb{R^3}$ is a function such that $$ f(a) \times f(b)=a \times b $$ for all $a,b \in \mathbb{R^3}$, where ''$\times$'' denotes the cross product in $\mathbb{R^3}$. Does $f$ have to be a linear mapping? Motivation: If $f$ is linear and satisfies the abo...

According to "Does the center hold?" by Donald D. Palmer, Socrates's main argument during his trial was that "he knew nothing". But Socrates discussed various topics with many people, he had knowledge in many areas. Can we then consider him a liar?
