For the beginning I want to clarify the quantifiers (I am assuming that we are always working in $\mathbb{Z}$): Let's take a look at $\forall x. A$.

So I know that if all of your moduli are relatively prime to each other, you can simply apply the Chinese remainder theorem. However, what do you do if the moduli are not relatively prime?

The latter example also appears in a slightly different form in [these old lecture notes of M. Wolf][1] (Example 8.1). However, in my opinion, this specific result is rather difficult to find if you're not already ...
> I mean, why $b/M$ ensures that the solution stays inside the rectangle? Hint: **if** the solution exists: $$\dot x(t) = F(t,x(t))\implies |\dot x(t)|\le M \implies -M\le\dot x(t)\le M.$$ Integrating: $$-M(t - t_0)\le x(t) - x(t_0)\le M(t - t_0).$$ Can you continue?
This is a bit of a soft question, but I was just wondering, in the real analysis epsilon-delta definitions of limits and continuity, can epsilon be a very big positive number, like a googol, or a googolplex? And if it can be, why don't textbooks restrict epsilon to be a small positive real number, like, "For any positi...
Can epsilon be a big positive number?
The Cramér random model for the primes is a random subset ${{\mathcal P}}$ of the natural numbers with ${1 \not \in {\mathcal P}}, {2 \in {\mathcal P}}$, and the events ${n \in {\mathcal P}}$ for ${n=3,4,\dots}$ being jointly independent with ${{\bf P}(n \in {\mathcal P}) = \frac{1}{\log n}}$ (the restriction to ${n \g...
