I have a matrix of the form $$\mathbb{A}_{i,j}(\omega) = \sum_n \frac{\sin(nx_i)\sin(nx_j)}{-\omega^2+C(n)}+\sum_{r_x}\sum_{r_y}\frac{\sin(r_xx_i)\sin(r_xx_j)\sin(r_y\alpha)}{-\omega^2+D(r_x,r_y)}.$$ In truth, the matrix formulation is much more complex that this, but I have tried to make things simpler by introduci...
For a much simpler verification, double count the angle sum. Consider all of the vertex angles of the triangles. What is their sum? - Each triangle has an angle sum of $180^\circ$. - The 1999 points each contribute $360^\circ$ (Why?). Add in the 4 corners which have total of $360^\circ$. - Hence, ther...
A [Maclaurin spheroid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclaurin_spheroid) can become a [Jacobi ellipsoid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobi_ellipsoid#Jacobi_formula) but I don't understand how this happens.

**Question** Given a sequence $a_n$ when it is possible to express such sequence as a recurrence relation? *i.e.* when $$ a_n= \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f_i(n) a_{i} + g(n) $$ where $f_i(n)$ are generic function of $n$ that does not depend from $a_i$.

Lets say I have $f$, $g$ both analytic functions on some domain (open and connected set) D.

In particular, g(z) may assume a zero value in that domain, bu...

In my introductory differential geometry class, we learnt that isometries preserve the torsion $\tau$ and curvature $\kappa$ of curves. I was wondering if the converse of this statement is true: if a map $F$ preserves $\kappa$ and $\tau$ for all curves, is $F$ an isometry? Thanks for any help.
Is a map that preserves torsion and curvature of all smooth curves an isometry?

**Disclaimer:** I know the Residue Theorem could be used for this, but we cannot use it as we have not proven it in class. In my complex analysis course, I am given a function $f(z)=\frac{1}{z^2-z}$ and a domain on which it is holomorphic $f(z)=\mathbb{C}\setminus\{-1,0,1 \}$. I am then tasked with `calculating' the...
How can i calculate limits of $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \to 0} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to + \infty } \cos \left( {a + i\varepsilon } \right)x = a$, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \to 0} \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - \infty } \sin \left( {a + i\varepsilon } \right)x = 1$, $\mathop {\lim }\limit...
I have recently been reading Werner Ballmann's Introduction to Geometry and Topology, and when I get to section 7 of chapter 3 (where the author wants to define the oriented integral), he says "Let $A \subset M$ be Lebesgue-measurable...", where $M$ is a smooth manifold. I have studied some basic measure theory, mainly...
