To what extent are submodules of $R^n$, for a ring $R$, describable by systems of linear equations?
I've been struggling for a bit on this math problem from my homework. $$ \int_{0}^{1}\int_{1}^{3}(8x^3-36x^2y^2)dydx $$ From what I understand and have attempted, we'll integrate with respect to $x$ first, so something like: $$ (2x^4-12x^3y^2)\vert_{1}^{3}=160-312y^2 $$ and then another integration, thi...
Not an answer, but a progress into the understanding of the issue. It is clear that setting $y=2x$ in the implicit equation gives $0$. Therefore, it is not surprizing that the following graphical representation produced by GeoGebra has 2 branches : the straight line with equation $y=2x$ in blue and an hyperbola-look...
This problem is from the book "Inside Interesting Integrals" written by Prof. Paul J, Nahin, which is stated as follows, Imagine a circle (let’s call it $C_{1}$) that has radius $a$. We then chose at random (i.e., uniformly distributed) and independently, three points from the interior of that circle. These three po...
> In the $xy$-plane a function is given: $f(x,y)=x+y$.

I am having trouble understanding how to compute this integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{y} \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} e^{-x^2 - y^2} \, dx \, dy$$ My idea is to consider the whole plane xy plane instead of the half of the positive quadrant. Then the integral would look like this. $$\frac{1}{8} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int...
Consider the cutting stock problem where $L$ is the length of the stock and $n$ is the total number of patterns. If customer demands are any width between $1, 2, \ldots, L$, why is it the case that $n \geq 2^{\sqrt{L}-1}$?
The question is backwards. Not even non-finitists would argue that finite math is meaningless. The correct question is whether the non-finite is meaningful. Finitism and atheism are the positions that the posited entity, respectively infinity and god, makes no sense or does not exist. A finitist can no more prove infin...
Is it true that for any projective variety $X$ that $\dim X = \text{trdeg}_k k(X) = \dim \mathcal O_{X,x}$ for $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero?

A proof I know picks $s \in S \setminus f(S)$ and constructs function $g(n) = f^n(s)$ by recursion, and use replacement to obtain $\omega ...
I am reading the Manfred Stoll, Introduction to real analysis, proof of 9.5.8 theorem and stuck at some statement. > **9.5.8. THEOREM** Let $f$ be a continuous function on $[-\pi, \pi]$ with $f(-\pi)=f(\pi)$, and let $f'$ be piecewise continuous on $[-\pi,\pi]$. If $$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}a_0 + \Sigma_{n=1}^{\infty}(a_n...
I was studying Schrödinger's equation for a school paper and wanted to solve it in a bit broader context than the potential well. I wanted to use a potential function $$V(x,y,z) = \chi(x) + \gamma(y) + \zeta(z)$$ for continuous (maybe continuously differentiable, don't know if that will matter later) functions $\chi(x)...
