H: Inequality string for comparison of series I'd like to know if the following statement is a valid one. Specifically, I hope to use it in applying comparison tests for convergence/divergence of certain series. For sufficiently large n, $n, n^2, n^3, n^4, ... < 2^n, 3^n, 4^n, ... < n!$ The statement wasn't in my text...
H: Converging Integral question Is this integral convergent or divergent? $$ \int_1^{\infty} \sqrt{x}\, \ln\!\left(1+ \frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)\,\text {d}x$$ and $$ \int_1^{\infty} \sqrt{x}\, \ln\!\left(1+ \frac{\cos(x)}{x}\right)\,\text {d}x$$ You cannot use the convergence tests because the $\ln$ changes sign ($-$ ...
H: L'Hopital's rule conditions I have seen easy geometrical argument why L'Hopital's rule ($\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}$) works (local linearization). But, I still don't understand this: why is rule defined just when limit is in form $\frac{0}{0}$ or $\pm \frac{\infty}{\infty...
H: Why is it true that if the integral is finite then $\lim_{s\to\infty} \int_{s}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0$? I saw it whilst reading my lecture notes that Let $f(x)$ be integrable such that $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) dx<\infty$ then it means that $\lim_{s\to\infty} \int_{s}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0.$ I can't seem to understa...
H: Solvability by radicals I study the book "Introduction To Field Theory" by Iain Adamson (https://archive.org/details/IntroductionToFieldTheory), and struggle with the Theorem 26.5. on page 166: Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero. If the polynomial $f$ in $F[x]$ is solvable by radicals, then the Galois group ...
H: Fibonacci and tossing coins Consider the following scheme starting with a sequence $\sigma_0 = \langle 1,1,\dots,1\rangle$ of length $k$, successively followed by sequences $\sigma_i$ of the same length but shifted by one to the right, where the first entry $\sigma_{i0}$ equals the sum of all values above, and $\si...
H: Show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{i}{k(k+1)}$ converges. Find its sum. Show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{i}{k(k+1)}$ converges. Find its sum. The presence of the $i$ throws me off. Our professor taught us to find $a$ (the first term in the sequence) and $z$ (the multiplier to get the next term). Then find the mod...
H: Show $l^p$ is not complete with the $q$ norm I know the question has been asked here, but I do not understand the solution (Are $\ell_p$ spaces complete under the $q$-norm?) I came up with my own solution and was wondering if it is correct. Denote $l^p_q$ as $l^p$ with $q-$norm. Now if it is closed, then the identi...
H: Prove that every set and subset with the cofinite topology is compact Prove that every set with the cofinite topology is compact as well as every subset Solution. Let $X$ be a nonempty set with the cofinite topology and let $ \mathscr{U}$ be an open cover of $ X $. Let $ U \in \mathscr{U}$. Then $X\setminus U$ is f...

H: Calculate $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$ Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function. Suppose $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x} = 0$. Calculate $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)$. According to the answer key, $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0$. I see $f(x)=x^2$ satisfies both limits, but is there a way "construct" an argument to prove this? I ...
H: Contradicting the non-existence of a linear map $T: \Bbb R^5 \to \Bbb R^5$ and the Fundamental Theorem of Linear Algebra (from Axler Exercise 3.B(5)) I am asked to prove there does not exist a linear map $T:\Bbb R^5 \to \Bbb R^5$ such that $\operatorname{range}(T) = \operatorname{null}(T)$.

H: What does it really mean for a model to be pointwise definable? (Note: I'm only an amateur in logic, so I'm sorry for any weird terminology or notation, or excessive tedious details. Most of what I know is from Kunen's Foundations of Mathematics.) I'm trying to learn a little about pointwise definable models. I'm...
H: Show that there exists a metric $d$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $(\mathbb{R},d)$ is compact I've come across this problem here and I've been trying to solve it. I've tried metrics like $d(x,y) = \ln(1+\frac{|x-y|}{1+|x-y|})$ but these end up not working (I believe this one does not give a totally bounded set). My thi...
H: Simpler proof of van Kampen's theorem? I've been trying to understand the proof of van Kampen's theorem in Hatcher's Algebraic Topology, and I'm a bit confused why it's so long and complicated. Intuitively, the theorem seems obvious to me. Given a path $p$ in $A \cup B$, we can split it up into paths $p_1p_2...p_n$...
H: Triangle problem with a simpler solution Problem: In the triangle $\mathit{ABC}$ the angle $A$ is 60°. The “interior” circle has center $O$. If $|\mathit{OB}|=8$, $|\mathit{OC}|=7$, how long is $\mathit{OA}$? “Solution”: Let the radius be $R$. Since $A=60°$; $|\mathit{OA}|=2R$ and (see image below) $|\mathit{AD}|...
H: Lie Algebras of Covering of a Group is Isomorphic to the Lie Algebra of the Group. If $\tilde{G} \to G$ is a covering of the lie group $G$, why are the associated lie algebras isomorphic? I.e., why $Lie(\tilde{G}) \cong Lie( G)$? AI: There is natural identification of $T_eG\cong \mathfrak{g}$, and we know that a co...
H: $\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x) + g(x) = +\infty$. True or false? True or false? If true, justify. If false, give counterexample. If $f,g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ are functions such that $f$ is bounded and $\lim_{x \to +\infty} g(x) = +\infty$, then $\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x) + g(x) = +\infty$. I could not think o...

Show the sequence $f_n(x)=\frac{1}{n}\chi_{[0,n]}$ has no weakly convergent subsequence in $L^1[R]$. My observations: Assume $f_{n_k} \to f$ weakly, then: The sets where $f$ is positive or where it is negative have to ...

How would I go about computing the projection a new vector, $\vec{V} \in...
H: Area of a Sector of a Circle Question In the figure, $AB$ and $CD$ are two arcs subtended at center $O$. $r$ is the radius of the sector $AOB$. I was told to find the radius, $x$ (the angle), and the shaded area. I know $2\pi r\cdot\dfrac x{360} = 13$. And $\pi(r+4)^2 \cdot \frac{x}{360} - \pi r^2 \cdot \frac{x}{3...

I'm reading some notes on the derivation of the Friedmann equation from Newton's formulas The paper reads: The equation of motion for $R_s(t)$ can be obtained from the gravitational acceleration at the outer edge of the sphere: $$\frac{d^2R_s}{dt^2...
H: Contour Integration to Evaluate Improper Integral I am working on the problem above and have, for part a, that $D=\{z \in \mathbb{C} | 0< \Re(z) < 1\}$. What I'm working on now is part b.

H: How do smooth manifolds differ from manifolds embedded in $\mathbb{R}^n$? Instead of defining a smooth manifold to be a manifold whose gluing functions are smooth, what would happen if we defined it as an $n$-manifold $M$ which has an embedding into $\mathbb{R}^{n +1}$? A smooth map between manifolds $e_M : M \hook...
