This question was completely restated to make it well-posed and understandable. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the algebra of random variables on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite expectation. By a random variable on $\mathbb{R}$ with finite expectation I mean a Lesbegue-measurable probability distribution $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}$, such...
Let $f(x)$ be a continuous strictly increasing smooth function on $[0,1]$ with $f(0)=0$ and $f(1)=1$. In addition, $F(t)=\int_0^t f(x)dx$ and $\phi>1$. Prove that the following function $h(t)$ is strictly increasing with respect to $t$ on $(0,1)$, where $$h(t)=\frac{1-t+F(t)+t(1-f(t))}{(\phi-t)(1-f(t))}-\frac{F(1)}{...
Let $P(n)$ be the largest prime factor of $n$, and let $\Psi(x,B) = |\{ n \mid n \leq x \wedge P(n) \leq B\}|$. (This is a well-studied function in analytic number theory.) Define $\Psi'(x,B) = | \{ n \mid n \leq x \wedge P(n) \leq B \wedge \mbox{$n$ odd}\}|$. The answer to [this post][1] shows how to prove that $\P...

I was looking for a simple explanation of why the Gaussian random variable can be the only distribution appearing in the Central limit theorem.

In the literature I've found two notions of "$\pi$-cocartesian morphism" in a category, and to my knowledge they're not equivalent.

So I was messing around and realized that the geometric series and exponential series are really similar when written as a power series. $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{(n!)^0}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty {x^n}=\frac{1}{1-x}$$ $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{(n!)^1}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}=e^x$$ By adding a simple ...

I'm reading Riehls' Category Theory in Context and came across the following confusion.

Perhaps a naive notation question. Let us say we have some PDE/function defined on $u(x, t)$ where $x \in [0, 1]$ and $t \in \mathbb{R}^+$ (positive reals).

To get a good initial idea, play with unbelievably simple examples. For example, maybe I'll look at $k = \mathbb{R}$, choose polynomials in $R = \mathbb{R}[X, Y]$, and look at resulting ideals.
