@Silent yes, exactly

@Silent what would you say?

Hello, everyone. Looking for help, question, thanks
Jun 26, 2019 14:45
I'd like to show that operations on irrational numbers produce (most often) another irrational number. The approach I have in mind is to show that rational numbers make a cut $(A,B)$ and have $max(A)$ or $min(B)$, which is untrue for irrationals. And then from the bounds of these numbers reconsturct the resulting one. Is it worthwhile?

@user681391 I misread
Jun 24, 2019 15:51
@user681391 why is $(-1,1)\cap (1-\delta,1+\delta)=(1-\delta,1)$ and not $=(-1,1)$
Jun 24, 2019 15:42
Unless $\delta = 0$ which it can't be
Jun 24, 2019 15:42
No. $(1-\delta,1) \subset (1-\delta,1+\delta)$
Jun 24, 2019 15:39
It's an intersection of a point $(-1, 1)$ and range of length $> 2$
Jun 24, 2019 15:36
Set of all possible $\delta$s
Jun 24, 2019 15:35
Only if $\delta $ has an upper bond
Jun 24, 2019 15:34
That a neighbourhood of $1$ that doesn't intersect $(-1,1)$ surrounds a point that is outside of $(-1,1)$
Jun 24, 2019 15:32
So I am correct?
Jun 24, 2019 15:30
That would be a number outside the set
Jun 24, 2019 15:26
But just as any other number of that set, right?
Jun 24, 2019 15:25
Your definition is better
Jun 24, 2019 15:21
It has to be a limit point. But then again if it has to satisfy that"deleted $\delta$ neighborhood of $a$ contains points of $S$", then certainly "deleted neighborhood" implies that some point Is Not in $S$
Jun 24, 2019 15:13
@user681391 it is a limit point, for $\delta = 1$. However not the kind of point you asked for. Its neighbourhood will overlap with some other point in $(-1;1)$
Jun 24, 2019 15:10
Although, I would like to get back at my previous answer to your two examples. Perhaps there can be infinitely many neighbourhoods if we take arbitrary point of either set with arbitrary small $\delta$
Jun 24, 2019 15:08
@user681391 there is none
Jun 24, 2019 15:01
@user681391 neither of your examples has any discontinuities and therefore have no limit points.
Jun 24, 2019 14:50
I've seen something like that in Spivak. It's probably derrived in some way relying on the fact that $\sum_{i - odd}^{n}i=n^2$
Jun 24, 2019 14:45
If $B \subset A$ the $A-B$ is called complement of $B$ relative to $A$
Jun 24, 2019 14:40
A point $a \in S $ is called an accumulation point or limit point of $S$ if every deleted $\delta$ neighborhood of $a$ contains points of $S$.
Can we regarard these accumulation points $a$ as complements to $S$?
Jun 24, 2019 09:05
@flowian you can go from $[1; x^2+2]$ to $[-1; x^2]$ if you account for that in $t^2$, but I don't see how that would help you in any way

Guys, what can $C(a,b)^2$ mean?
Jun 20, 2019 14:26
He constructed $y$ in that way based on some reasoning. I ask if anyone has any clue on what that reasoning is
Jun 20, 2019 14:25
Equations don't just come into existance because they will support your further hypothesis
Jun 20, 2019 14:23
Okay
Jun 20, 2019 14:21
Yes, however, I hope you understand, his elaboration on the variables doesn't justify the costruction of $y=\frac{x(x^2+3D)}{ 3x^{2}+D }$
Jun 20, 2019 14:12
Variables $x$ and $y$ don't appear before that in the paper. And they are introduced in these equations (marked by arrows) that are not foreshadowed themselves. I suspect they have to do with the narrowing of the bounds around $D$ but can't connect the two together. So, my question is: "Where the hell did that come from?"
Jun 20, 2019 13:54
It's in section IV (creation of irrational numbers) of essays
on the theory of numbers by Richard Dedekind
Jun 20, 2019 13:48
It's bound by $$\lambda ^{2}< D<(\lambda+1) ^{2}$$

Number which square is to be 2 (for instance)

Where the hell did that come from?

Jun 20, 2019 13:07
Anyone familiar with Dedekind cuts?

The proof for R field in Rudin gives me chills, you must go through it
Nov 21, 2018 18:28
Thanks!

@CaptainAmerica16 do you perchance have a pdf?
Nov 21, 2018 18:12
Hope you'll enjoy them
Nov 21, 2018 18:11
I miss those times
