Again the series converges absolutely. has the Cantor distribution. Every particular digit sequence has probability zero, so it has no atoms; its support is the Cantor set, which has Lebesgue measure zero, so it cannot have a Lebesgue density.

For separable Banach , the closed unit ball of is weak-star compact. Embed it in the product of compact discs by evaluations on a countable dense subset; diagonal subsequences converge on that subset, boundedness extends the limit to all , and the limit functional remains in the ball. Metrizability of the bounded weak-star topology turns sequential compactness into compactness. Scaling gives the general Banach-Alaoglu theorem.

Dedekind's criterion factors according to the factorization of modulo (the monogenic assumption removes the index obstruction). With ,Minkowski's bound is below 11, so classes are generated by prime ideals over . Relations from the displayed factorizations and principal ideals reduce them to with principal. Part (a) shows is not principal, so .

The left side is the norm form for . Reducing a hypothetical equation modulo 7 and then descending through the forced divisibilities of gives an infinite descent, so only the zero solution exists. If , clearing denominators minimally and applying the norm equation would produce a forbidden nonzero integer solution; hence no such exists.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
