In House of Memories by Panic! At the Disco, there's an interesting rhythmic effect at the 2 minute mark (link is 15s before it happens). It feels like the music is unraveling. I feel like there's a time signature change, but every time I try to count it, I lose track of the beat for about 10s,...

Mathematically, its possible to see that the Survival Function must always reduce with time (regardless of the underlying probability distribution). Define $F(t)$ as the cumulative distribution function of the time-to-event variable $T$, then the survival function $S(t)$ is defined as: $$S(t) = ...

I have a background in mathematics and have been interested in trading for some time.

A large spaceship captures a smaller one. The larger ship is inhabited by crab-like creatures that are impervious to regular bullets but can be harmed by armor-piercing rounds. These creatures are unable to sit, which influences their way of thinking. The smaller ship's crew consists of humans wh...

When a bjt is operated in the saturation mode then the further increase in base current will not increase collector current. That's what I often read in books.

I’m a big believer of Chesterton’s fence: don’t change something without understanding why it was done that way in the first place.

Given a positive integer \$n\$, a partition of \$n\$ is an ascending sequence of numbers that sum to \$n\$. Given two partitions \$a\$ and \$b\$, \$a\$ is a refinement of \$b\$ iff \$b\$ can be created by combining elements of \$a\$. (The elements do not need to be adjacent.) For example 1+2+3+4+...

This is a question I've often had, why exactly a non-Catholic is prohibited from taking the eucharist, if they believe the correct things about the eucharist, and are following Jesus teachings.

For some reason, no matter how much maths I study, I always get stuck on some trivial issue. For example, suppose that I have the matrix $$A = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 5 & 8 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & h\end{bmatrix},$$ and I'm supposed to find the value $h$ which makes this matrix singular.

Parseval's Theorem states that the integral of a signal squared is equal to the integral of the transformed signal squared.

To my understanding—from this paper for example (arXiv)—given a state $\frac{1}{\| w\| } \sum_x w(x) |x\rangle$ and given an algorithm that produces $k$ copies of the state $|u\rangle$, we can estimate the dot product $$ \Bigl( \frac{1}{\| w\| } \sum_x w(x) \langle x| \Bigr) |u\rangle $$ up to so...

Each white square should be filled with a digit or one of these operators: +, -, ×, ÷. The numbers in the gray triangles indicate the result of evaluating their corresponding expressions.

I don't know much about non-euclidean or differential geometry but I think this question makes sense. If space has positive curvature, it is a closed universe.

Obviously one of the advantages of smaller leaves on Earth is that they're easy to drop and replace at a large scale, and seasons are the primary reason for this.

I notice that the direction of implication in word problems is sometimes ambiguous, due to the unclear English phrasing.

If a Trinitarian says that Jesus is both God and man, that is 100% God and 100% man, doesn't that necessarily mean that Jesus is both 100% uncreated and 100% created, since being uncreated is a property of someone who is 100% God and being created is a property of someone who is 100% man.

I’m not a physics student. I'm just trying to understand if there are gases making up our atmosphere, what makes up the “container” preventing all the gases diffusing into the galaxy or universe?

While researching to implement Shor's algorithm, I came across the following curcuit diagram (diagram 1). And while researching for how to implement the U operator, I came across the following circuit diagram (diagram 2). The circuit in diagram 2 gives 'mod' outputs for $7^x\mod 15$ as follows:...

I am used to seeing $M: \tau$ as a notation for "the term $M$ has type $\tau$". This seems to be ubiquitous nowadays, finding its way across niche programming languages and even into type annotations for JavaScript (proposal based on TypeScript) and Python. Voevodski's works use colons, as do boo...

The World of Darkness is big and old and so full of lore, that it can get hard for an experienced player to explain the five big main splats (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Changeling, Wraith) in a short fashion without pretty much throwing the book at the player or going into detail diatribes about wh...

Firstly while trying to solve it I was actually confused if I should start with seating boys or girls, so I did try both but both give different answers and I do not have the answer. Let's place girls first in 4! And now I choose 5 particular boys to seat them first I can do it in 5! Ways now the...
