I need to find how distant the center of an orthogonal rectangle is from the center of a circle, given a specific angle. The dimensions of the rectangle are proportional to the circle radius, so they use a 0-1 range, where 1 is the radius of the circle. The objective is to get the position of the center of that rect...
I recently came across [this][1] paper by Friedgut that shows low sensitivity boolean functions are close to juntas.

Is a hamiltonian isotopy real-valued of manifold-valued?
I'm reading about holomorphic functions in section 1.2 of *Complex Analysis* by Stein and Shakarchi, and I am pretty confused about the derivative notation that the authors employ.

It is common for books on physics to contain something along these lines: "We have $X$ parameters and $Y$ conditions, hence, the number of free parameters is $X-Y$" or "we have $X$ components of a field, and the local gauge invariance group is $Y$-dimensional, so we can fix arbitrary $Y$ parameters". For instance, cosi...

When introducing $p$-adics, Kurt Hensel produced an incorrect proof of the transcendence of $e$: see https://mathoverflow.net/q/416296 for more details. The problem is that the proof relies on the "universality" of series, that is, the assumption that the series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{p^n}{n!},$$ which converges in...
If A is a normal matrix, then $AA^H = A^HA$. I have observed that normal matrices tend to have good conditioning. I was wondering if this was always the case? Are there any bounds on what the condition number could be?

What is the empty tensor product of vector spaces?
Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an edge measure, and function $f$ be edgewise linear, i.e., it is continuous and its restriction to edge interior is a linear function. Then, at the bottom of the page 7 of [this handout][1], the author claims that, for an edge $e=(u,v)$, we have $$\int_{e}f\mathrm{d}\mathcal{E} = [f(u)+f(v)]\fr...
I got a question below with answer from the professor, although I think the answer may be wrong, but is there something I missed? 1. Determine the form of a particular solution to the ODE below. Do not solve for the coefficient. $y'' + 4y' + 5y = e^{2t} + t^2 \sin(t) - e^{2t} \cos(t)$ I know the solution for t...
