$(y+zq)^2=z^2(1+p^2+q^2)$. How to find the complete integral of the given pde by using Charpit's equations ? Charpit's equations are: $$ \frac{dx}{2pz^2}=\frac{dy}{2qz^2-2z(y+zq)}=\frac{dz}{2p^2z^2-2qz(y+zq)}=\frac{dp}{-2pz(1+p^2+q^2)}=\frac{dq}{2(y+zq)-2qz(1+p^2+q^2)} $$
I understand that this is a consequence of a related, more general theorem for non-unital $C^*$-algebras, where we can find approximants of a unit, but for the simple case of a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}$ , what is the simple argument that implies that positive linear functionals $\varphi:\mathscr{A} \rightarrow...
I am studying Manifold theory and it is essential for me to know vector bundles.The usual definition of vector bundles as given in the standard texts is a follows: Suppose $M$ is a topological manifold and $E$ is another topological manifold with a surjective continuous map $\pi:E\to M$.Then we say $E$ is a vector ...

I know that the sum of powers of $2$ is $2^{n+1}-1$, and I know the mathematical induction proof. But does anyone know how $2^{n+1}-1$ comes up in the first place.

Let T be a torus (namely, topology homeomorphic to quotient topology $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$).

Let X be the number of people needed to obtain a birthday match, i.e., before person X arrives there are no two people with the same birthday, but when person X arrives there i...
There are n! permutations that can be inserted into an initially empty binary tree, but only Catalan(n) different binary trees. A possible method (surely very ineffective, but I'm an old FORTRAN guy, meaning that I automatically hate classes and recursion) to weed out duplicates would be the following: If a left child ...
This is not an answer... Just to give a simple example why it is not always solvable. Imagine a function $\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$. Let us prescribe any non-closed (importante!) contour of gradient orthogonal to the direction of the contour with $\nabla g = \|\nabla g\|\hat n$. Now let every other point in the pl...

In p.76 of this book, an example 4 says "Take a strictly decreasing sequence $F_1 \supset F_2 \supset \cdots $ of closed sets in $X$ ". [Atiyah-Macdonald, Introduction to commutative algebra, p.76][1] I don't understand if there exists such the sequence. I think the following statement may be true in general top...

I am given the following hint: Express $ q $ as a quotient of integers $ m/n $ where $ m,n $ are mutually prime, and show that $ m^2 = 2n^2 $ leads to a contradiction. Proof solution: $2$ divides the right-hand side of this equation, hence $2\vert m^2$ ($2$ divides $m^2$). Since $2$ is prime, we must have $2\vert ...

For an $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix $M$, why does $Tr(M)^2/Tr(M^2)>n-1$ imply that M is positive or negative definite?
