The vector produced by the dot product multiplication can be interpreted, somehow, as representing the "similarity" between the two vectors yielding it, whereas the vector produced by cross product multiplication can be interpreted as representing the "difference" between them? How and why?

Humans do this artificially via condoms to obvious benefit, so there's already a proof of concept. Females of various other species have folds which make insemination more difficult, which by the prior line, I assume is a matter of selection rather than mere coincidence. I haven't found a clear male case of this though. Does the fuck-and-run option they generally have prevent this? Has the impregnating-gender of any species besides humans ever been shown to deliberately avoid insemination? I figured territorial species might do this to save resource, but it seems like they tend to just slaughter the kids or something instead.

It's a modulation that can be used to digitalize information, but in this context is used to easily control how much power do you want to feed into the stove.The power is controlled by the duty cycle. If the stove has a 30% duty cycle, it means that it spends 30% of the time turned on and only spends 30% of the maximum power. The duty cycle can easily and digitally be changed. Futhermore, you can build a control system with a feedback loop to monitor the temperature and manipulate the duty cycle instantly on real time to maintain the temperature constant, and all this logic can fit inside a chip.To do this with AC and transformers is just a pain in the ass and it's too big and expensive. A fucking automatic variable responsive transformer? For a stovetop? Nope.

If I want to just roughtly know the pH of a solution to the 0.00 magnitude, should I buy some cheap pH meter or a bench pHmeter.I mean, the cheap pH meter should simply give the lecture as soon as I insert it into the solution. But the bench pH meter, while surely will offer more resolution it means that I have to use a buffer calibration solution, then adjust the pH to calibrate the sensor, then insert the desired solution(with a buffer) in the sensor and add a solution of a strong base or acid until I reach the desired pH.The thing is that they explained me the process but not the point to it or the difference between a cheap sensor and a bench one, and taking into account that is ten time more expensive I just want to know whats the point for homelab applications.
 >> Anonymous Mon Aug 10 07:12:37 2020 No.11993268 In Freyd's theorem that a category C with products of size up to Mor(C) is a preorder, how do we conclude from $f,g:A\to B$, $f\neq g$ that the homset $A\to \prod_{m: \mathrm{Mor}(C) }B$ contains at least $2^{ | \mathrm{Mor}(C) |}$ distinct arrows?
 >> Anonymous Mon Aug 10 07:34:02 2020 No.11993299 >>11993268Thinking it over a bit, I think the argument goes as follows: for each $m:Mor(C)$ we can choose one of f,g to precompose with the projection $\pi_m$, and the $2^{ \mathrm{Mor}(C) }$ cones thus formed are pairwise distinct, otherwise f,g would lift it non-uniquely to the product cone $\{\pi_m\}$. The theorem follows from the universal property of $\{\pi_m\}$, which ensures that a (distinct) lift in $A\to \prod_{m: \mathrm{Mor}(C) }B$ exists for every (distinct) cone.Is this right?

I assume hydroxylate and hydrate are synonymous here, I can't imagine either means anything different than "to affix an OH group."

Similar to how i^2=1 has 1 and -1 as its solutions. Except that 1 and -1 are distinguished by the fact that 1 is the multiplicative unit, i.e. 1*x=x, whereas -1 isn't. There is no such distinction for i vs -i, nor does it matter.

 >> Anonymous Wed Aug 12 05:31:40 2020 No.12000225 >>11991233The scalar product of two vectors measures the projection of one vector onto the other one. Since projection depends on the angle in Euclidean space, you can think about measuring the angle between the vectors. If they are 'similar' (= have similar direction), the projection will be large. If they are perpendicular to each other, projection is zero. The concept is very useful because 1) it allows to talk about angles (or projections, rather) in vector spaces other than Euclidean; 2) any scalar (or, rather, inner) product induces norm which induces metric - and so we can talk about distances between abstract vectors. One of the most useful examples is a vector space where vectors are functions (like cos(x)). As soon as you introduce an inner product, you can project one function onto another, and compute distances between functions. This allows us to perform analysis - convergence, Fourier series, functional derivatives, etc. A vector product, by definition, is a vector in a direction that is orthogonal to both of the original vectors, and has length equal to the area of the parallelogram spanned by the two vectors. Vector product is an analog of a much more general concept of an exterior product which is something that allows us to compute volumes. Tthe exterior product on a generic vector space can only be defined for forms and not vectors (form is something that eats vectors and gives you a number, and is linear). The result of an outer product is also a form and not a vector. In particular, a product of two forms is a 2-form which eats two vectors and gives oriented area of a parallelogram. This explains why vector product gives you area. To transform the product output (the 2-form) into a vector, you have to have some additional structure (like a scalar product). However, this only allows for assigning a vector to a 2-form in either a 3-dimensional or 7-dimensional space. Historically vector product appeared from Hamilton's quaternions.

I myself am an data science student, with a math minor. But I've always been interested in mathematics, and decided to use the free time coronavirus gave me to self learn the stuff I won't learn in school, like abstract algebra. However, I came across this essay, and it got me thinking of what it truly means to do math.I understand what it means to do coding/writing/data analysis: you have to make something. You can't learn coding only by reading books, you can't learn to write stories only by reading fantasy, and you can't analysis data only by seeing what others do: these are all steps of the process, not the process itself.But from what I understand, (again, from what I, a noob, understand) there's nothing like that for math. There's competitions, doing exercises in the textbook, or research, and competitions in my experience is just really intense exercises. Is self studying from a textbook, like how the wiki says, https://4chan-science.fandom.com/wiki/Mathematics says, enough to say you do mathematics?
 >> Anonymous Wed Aug 12 10:50:52 2020 No.12001044 I came up with an interesting-to-me problem that I'm having trouble conceptualizing an answer for.I'm trying to come up with something that, when given two other functions f(x) and g(x), outputs the function that always stays directly between the other two functions.A physical intuition I've come up with is that f(x) and g(x) both have a "pull" between them. The more one of the function pulls, the harder it would deflect the line between the two.I've noticed two properties for the thing. One, the output function should always pass between the points of intersection of the two functions. Two, if f(x) and g(x) are inverses, the output function would be the identity function y=xI don't know how to actually solve this though. "Pull" tips me off that it's going to deal with second order derivatives, but since this is supposed to take in any two functions, I don't think a regular second-order differential equation is sufficient.Would this be solved with the Calculus of Variations?

 >> Anonymous Wed Aug 12 14:45:17 2020 No.12001645 For an unbounded self-adjoint operator $A$, is there any alternative (but equivalent) way to understand $f(A)$ besides the spectral theorem? Of course in the bounded case you can talk about a series expansion if it converges etc. (e.g. Taylor series of $f = \exp$), but this doesn't work for the unbounded case.I'm most curious about whether such an alternative approach, if it exists, could be used for practical computations. For example, in linear PDEs involving the Laplacian you take formal solution as being something like $e^{-\Delta t}$ acting on the initial conditions, which you actually compute by diagonalizing $\Delta$ (by separation of variables, for instance). I wonder if there is approach that will still give me a workable representation of $e^{-\Delta t}$.

All I'm trying to do is describe the (dy) differential for a standard function of one variable, but I can't think of the most efficient way to word it. My first instinct was to call it the "difference in height" between the point on a line tangential to the given curve and another point along that line an arbitrary distance (dx) away" but to describe it as "height" completely misses the point. It's an interval of solutions or a solution set but even describing them as "solutions" implies that there was a problem that needed solving, which again is not relevant. How can I describe this interval of solutions in a way that doesn't miss the point? My mind is blank. Pic somewhat related.

Actually, I believe that this problem may be connected with the one related to the Fransén–Robinson constant $F$: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans%C3%A9n%E2%80%93Robinson_constant > It is however unknown whether F can be expressed in closed form in terms of other known constants.Numerically, however, we can see that this upper bound is very close to the value of the series. WolframAlpha gave me something like [eqn] \left\lvert \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\ln(k)}{k!} - \int_{1}^{\infty}\mathrm{d}\omega \hspace{2.8pt} \frac{\ln(\omega)}{\Gamma(\omega+1)} \right\rvert \approx 0.0809088 [/eqn]

I never took the class so sorry for being layman-ish.I have a plant that takes in 2 components and creates a widget outta em. I want to design a controller that will make the plant produce widgets at a certain rate. In summary I have a system that can take 2 inputs: the rates of change of the components, and has 1 output: the rate of change of widgets being produced. Assume I'm kind of more retarded than I actually am and I know nothing about how the plant actually works, I just want widgets flowing out. How do I design a controller to hit a quota of x widgets per second by controlling the inflow of components?Practical example: I'm playing Factorio producing green circuits and I want to dynamically adjust the inflow of iron and copper plating to my (infinitely many) assemblers such that I can reach a set amount of green circuits per second that I've chosen, without going to the wiki and crunching all the numbers by hand.

When I run it with a step size of 0.05 it looks smooth and normal.The graph is tracing the center of mass of the top.webm attached shows same simulation, step size 0.01 and 0.05.

 >> Anonymous Sat Aug 15 03:49:32 2020 No.12010229 >>12010124well, you made a lot of statements but then, on an unrelated note, you said that it was impossible that moving dk requires fewer than 2^(k-1) - 1 moves, without saying why it's impossible.I'll assume that it could be shown pretty easily with what you have if you just analyzed the recursive algorithm you're describing a little more, or maybe I'm just a brainlet.

 >> Anonymous Sat Aug 15 12:28:36 2020 No.12011231 >>12011117The roots of s^2+2.ω0.ζ.s+ω0^2=0 are s=-ω0.ζ±ω0√(ζ^2-1). In the time domain, x(t)=a1.e^(s1.t)+a2.e^(s2.t) where s1, s2 are the roots.If ζ=0 (undamped), then s=±i.ω0; in the time domain, this is a constant-amplitude sinusoidal oscillation.If |ζ|=1 (critically damped), then s=-ω0.ζ, a duplicate root which is real and negative. In the time domain, this is a.t.e^(-ω0.t).If |ζ|<1 (underdamped), √(ζ^2-1) is imaginary so the roots form a complex conjugate pair; in the time domain, you have (e^-ηt).cos(ωt+φ), i.e. an exponentially-decaying sinusoid.If |ζ|>1 (underdamped), √(ζ^2-1) is real and you have two distinct real roots, meaning exponential decay in the time domain.

 >> Anonymous Sat Aug 15 12:44:25 2020 No.12011263 >>12011241No, but you can do $\frac{a}{c} + b = \frac{d}{c}$.You shouldn't think of it as "passing to the other side", you should think of it as "dividing both sides by c".
