For this sub-case, we can define the Lie algebra of a Lie group as the set of all matrices such that for all :If we fix a given and vary , we obtain a subgroup of . This type of subgroup is known as a one parameter subgroup.
The immediate question is then if every element of can be reached in a unique way (i.e. is the exponential map a bijection). By looking at the matrix logarithm however we conclude that this is not the case for real matrices, but it is for complex matrices.
TODO example it can be seen that the Lie algebra is not closed matrix multiplication, even though the corresponding group is by definition. But it is closed under the Lie bracket operation.
I wonder where the spray painted sign went: twitter.com/profgalloway/status/1229952158667288576/photo/1. As mentioned at officechai.com/startups/amazon-first-office/ and elsewhere, Jeff did all he could to save money, e.g. he made the desks himself from pieces of wood. Mentioned e.g. at youtu.be/J2xGBlT0cqY?t=345 from Video 4. "Jeff Bezos presentation at MIT (2002)".

Mathematical symbols are characters or notations used to represent mathematical concepts, operations, relationships, and quantities. They serve as a universal language that allows mathematicians and scientists to communicate ideas clearly and concisely.
"Arbitrarily large" is a term often used in mathematics and related fields to describe a quantity that can be made larger than any specific bound you might have in mind. This concept typically appears in discussions involving limits, infinite sets, or asymptotic analysis. For example, if we say that \( n \) can be arbitrarily large, we mean that \( n \) can take on any positive integer value, no matter how high, and there is no upper limit.
The Canon Palmtronic LE-80M is a handheld calculator that was popular in its time for its compact design and functionality. It features a basic set of arithmetic operations, which makes it suitable for simple calculations. The "Palmtronic" name suggests that it's designed for portability, allowing users to easily carry it with them. The LE-80M typically includes a clear display, basic memory functions, and possibly a few additional features like a percent key or square root functionality.
The wedge symbol (∧) is commonly used in mathematics and logic, particularly in the context of operations and expressions. Here are a few of its common uses: 1. **Logic**: In propositional logic, the wedge symbol represents the logical conjunction operation, which is equivalent to the word "and.
Aristotelian realist philosophy of mathematics refers to a perspective on the nature of mathematical entities and their existence, heavily influenced by the ideas of Aristotle and his metaphysical framework. This point of view stands in contrast to other philosophical positions such as Platonism, nominalism, and formalism.
SNARK, which stands for "Succinct Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge," is a cryptographic proof system that allows one party (the prover) to convince another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without disclosing any additional information regarding the statement itself. This is particularly useful in contexts where privacy and efficiency are critical.
"Logical harmony" isn't a widely recognized term in established academic or philosophical discourse, but it can be interpreted in a couple of broad contexts: 1. **Philosophical Context**: In philosophy, logical harmony might refer to the consistency and coherence of logical arguments or systems of thought. It's the idea that different premises, conclusions, and propositions should work together without contradiction. This aligns with classical logic principles, where a valid argument should not have conflicting premises.
Psychologism is a philosophical position that asserts that psychological processes and experiences are foundational to understanding knowledge, logic, and mathematics. This view suggests that the principles of logic or mathematics are rooted in the way human beings think and perceive the world, rather than being purely abstract or objective truths independent of human cognition.
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.
