**The question** The natural numbers $a,b,c$ are considered non-zero and distinct two by two, so that $a^3+b^3+c^3=\frac{a^2b^2}{c}+\frac{a ^2c^2}{b}+\frac{b^2c^2}{a}$ a) It is possible that one of the numbers is equal to the gemometric average of the other two? b) Show that $a+b+c$ divides at least one of the...
Elementary example where a neighborhood basis exists but no countable neighborhood basis exists?
Imagine we have a function f(x,y). For simplicity, let's say: $$f(x, y) = \begin{cases} c & \text{if } 0 \leq x \leq 1 \text{ and } 0 \leq y \leq 1 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$ With so much imagination, think this is the function: [![enter image description here][1]][1] I know how to integrate with ...

We all agree that the provided answer is incorrect for the reasons you state and others. Then the fun starts. Here is how I see it: First, choose the leaders, eight out of 16 students C(16,8) ways.

Consider the family of functions $f_n$ and $(g_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where for each $n$ in $\mathbb{N}$: - $f_n: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f_n(x) = x^n \cos(x)$, - $g_n: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defined by $g_n(x) = x^n \sin(x)$. Additionally, let there be a function $f: \mathbb{R}...
In the derivation of the Bernoulli-Seki formula the first step is unfolding the exponential generating function of $S_n(k)=\sum_{a=1}^k a^n$ as $$ \sum_{n \geq 0} S_n(k) \frac{T^n}{n !}=\sum_{a=1}^k \sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{(a T)^n}{n !}=\sum_{a=1}^k e^{a T}=e^T \frac{e^{k T}-1}{e^T-1} $$ This part is clear.

Is there a bijective function from $\mathbb{N}$ to $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ and supports additivity? Namely if $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$ then: $$f(n)+f(m)=f(n+m)$$ If there isn't, how can one prove such a thing?
b) If 3 specific persons, among 6, insist on following each other, how many ways are possible? I understand that a) is just 6!, but apparently b) is 4! 3!. Can anyone explain where they got 4! from? I thought it was 3! 3!, since 3 people are following each other, and 3 aren't. Thank you.
In how many ways can 6 people be lined up to get on a bus?
I was thinking it to be true, as the inverse function theorem gives us contious differentiablity of the inverse locally at any point. With continous differntiablity being a local attribute of the function, the inverse should be continous differentibale right?

Assume that the function $f(x,y)$ is not symmetric in $x,y$. Consider the curve $f(x,y)=0$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Is it always true that $f(a,b)=f(b,a)=0$ only if $a=b$?

What's the natural metric/topology on infinite derivations?
Let $G$ be a finite group generated by permutations $g_1,\dots,g_s$ such that $g_1g_2\cdots g_s$ is the identity permutation. Can we relate the character of the permutation representation of $G$ on the cosets $G/\langle g_i\rangle$ to the number of cycles of $g_i$? The character of the permutation representation...
