Two functors $F: →$ and $G: →$ are _adjoint_ iff there is a family of isomorphisms \begin{align} η_{X, A}: (FX, A)\tilde{\to} (X, GA) \end{align} which is natural in $X$ and $A$ (i.e., $(F\_, \_)≅(\_, G\_)$ as bifunctors). In my mind, this definition is “clearly useful”, because I've known it for years and I...
Suppose we have an underwater robot that can travel at a fixed velocity, v, if there is no current. This robot needs to travel a fixed distance, d. While in the water, the current acts on the robot affecting its velocity. The current varies over time. How do we determine how long it takes for the robot to travel d? Tha...

We can express it as $(x-a)\frac{d}{dx}f(x)$ by transforming the function $f(x)$ into a Taylor series, and then ...

Let $ P = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^d:Ax \leq b\}$ be a polyhedron, where $A = \begin{bmatrix} a_1^T\\a_2^T\\...\end{bmatrix}$, then the cone hull of $(a_1,a_2,\cdots)$ is $\mathbb{R}^d$. How to prove this statement? I think the intuition is pretty clear, but I don't know how to express them in math notations and give a st...
I am trying to solve the following problem from a book on mathematical statistics: >Suppose $\mathcal{P}=\{f(x|\theta_1,\theta_2)|\theta=(\theta_1,\theta_2)\in\Theta_1\times\Theta_2\}$ is a family of non-vanishing pdfs on $\mathbb{R}^d$, meaning that $f(x|\theta)\neq0$ for any $x\in\mathbb{R}^d,\theta\in\Theta_1\tim...
How to show that $\mu(\liminf_{n\to\infty} E_n)=0$?
Yesterday night I watched the [video][1] on youtube and tried my chance :) I was able to rule out some small number of cases. > If $b^{2a}-4a^b$ is a perfect square, then any $a>1$ must be even. *Proof.* We use the already proven fact that $b^{2a}-4a^b$ is a perfect square iff there are positive integers $c,d...
I am an engineering and applied math undergraduate and I like reading up on the pure math behind what I study in my nonexistent free time. I’m taking probability soon and would like to supplement it by starting to read some set theory. From scouring previous posts, it seems that two names that pop up repeatedly are H...
$\lim_{n \to \infty}\prod_{k=1}^{n}{\left ( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2^{k} } } \right )} $ let$ a_n={\left ( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2^{k} } } \right )} $ , $ \left( 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \right) a_n=\left( 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \right) \left( 1+\frac{1}{2^2} \right) \cdots \left( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2n}} \right) = 1-\frac{1}{2^{2n+1}}$ $a_n=\f...
A limit question?
I have a real signal $f(t) $that is periodic on $[0,1]$. I sampled it uniformly $64$ times and computed FFT (in python). I was asked to find the central frequency, namely the frequency with the largest magnitude. I found the index $i$ of the largest value in the transformed signal. How do I find the frequency (in he...
Approximately 80,000 marriages took place in the state of New York last year. Estimate the probability that for at least one of these couples, (a) both partners were born on April 30 I understand how to find the answer (~.45) but on an exam, what language gives away that this question would be asking for a Poisson ...
Why do we use a Poisson distribution here rather than Binomial?
I am trying to verify that $\text{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$ is a group under matrix multiplication. The only property I am not certain on is closure under inverses. Given $A \in \text{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$, I know that $A^{-1}$ exist (it has non-zero determinant). I need to show that $A^{-1}$ has determinant $1$ and intege...
Recently while studying Elliptic Integrals and related topics I have come across various Interesting Trigonometric Substitutions, examples given below 1. $$\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2(\sin t)^4}}\ dt=\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x-2x(\sin v)^2}}\ dv$$ which uses the substitution $$v=\arctan(\sqr...
$\lim_{n \to \infty}\prod_{k=1}^{n}{\left ( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2^{k} } } \right )} $ let$ a_n={\left ( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2^{k} } } \right )} $ , $ \left( 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \right) a_n=\left( 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \right) \left( 1+\frac{1}{2^2} \right) \cdots \left( 1+\frac{1}{2^{2n}} \right) = 1-\frac{1}{2^{2n+1}}$ $a_n=\f...
