Is there a way to declare that subscripted letters are not functions of the letter? By default, this happens: In[5]:= D[Subscript[t, 0], t] Out[5]= (Subscript^(1,0))[t,0] which I can understand but is slightly eye-roll-inducing. Mathematical practice would like this t_0 to be constant.

I like to spend my life with mathematics. I think it is the best thing I can do in my life. However, I have great difficulty explaining what I am doing to non-mathematicians, even educated ones. For example, my mom and dad know nothing about what I am doing even if I try to explain the philosophy...

Disclosure: I do not live in the USA and so am only picking up bits of American news from various places.

Given a string \$X\$ we will say two strings, \$a\$ and \$b\$, are building blocks of \$X\$ if \$X\$ can be made by concatenating some \$n\$ \$a\$s with \$m\$ \$b\$s in any order. For example the string tomato has building blocks to and ma: to ++ ma ++ to We will say that the fineness of a set o...

As a glider pilot, we learn that Best L/D airspeed does not change with altitude. That is, the Indicated Airspeed (IAS) to fly in order to achieve Best L/D is the same no matter the altitude or air density. Additionally, that Best L/D does not change either. Best L/D is calculated from the polar ...

So, I was asking myself the question: if something will exist in the future, with almost absolute certainty, but has not come to existence yet, can one claim that it exists? And, can one claim that it is real? To me, those are two different questions. For instance, imagine you are building a légo...

Reading about the Common Travel Area, it looks like I, as a British citizen, can live and work in Ireland without restrictions. What I can't see is whether this can eventually lead to naturalisation in Ireland, or whether there are any restrictions in this area?

I'm trying to measure a differential voltage in LTSpice using the following structure: The simulation results are correct, the voltage at the output is very similar to the differential input voltage.

Let's assume that we have two vectors in $\mathbb R ^3$, $v_1$ and $v_2$, such that $v_1 \perp v_2$ and $|v_1|=|v_2|=1$. Since the two vectors emerge from the origin, they can define a circle in $\mathbb R^3$ that includes both vectors and is perpendicular to their cross product. Now, the questio...

Let $S_i \in \{0,1\}$, $i=1,\dots,N$ be $N$ random binary variables, each taking the value 1 with probability $0 \le p_i \le 1$ (and the value 0 with probability $1-p_i$). I am interested in the sum, $$X = \sum_{i=1}^N S_i$$ Because the $p_i$ can be different, the distribution of $X$ can be compl...

This is a follow up to a couple of questions on Deutsch's foundational paper on quantum Turing machines. In it, he determines $f(0)\oplus f(1)$ with a single query by measuring a state prepared as $\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}|0,f(0)\rangle+\frac{1}{\sqrt 2}|1,f(1)\rangle$. But as explained by John Watrous...

There is the proposition that if evil exists in the world then how could an omnipotent, omnipresent God allow that evil to happen.
