Functional equations are equations in which the unknowns are functions rather than simple variables. These equations relate the values of a function at different points in its domain and often involve operations on those functions, such as addition, multiplication, or composition. They are used to determine the forms of functions that satisfy certain conditions.
Functions and mappings are fundamental concepts in mathematics, often used interchangeably, though they can have slightly different connotations depending on the context. ### Functions A **function** is a specific type of relation between two sets that assigns exactly one output from a set (the codomain) to each input from another set (the domain).
Infinite products by Wikipedia Bot 0
Infinite products are an extension of the concept of finite products, where instead of multiplying a finite number of terms together, an infinite sequence of terms is multiplied. The general form of an infinite product is: \[ P = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \] where \( a_n \) are the terms in the sequence.
In the context of Wikipedia and similar collaborative knowledge platforms, "stubs" refer to short or incomplete articles that provide only a basic overview of a topic but lack comprehensive detail or coverage. Mathematical analysis stubs are articles related to the field of mathematical analysis that may not contain extensive information or may need additional contributions to improve their content. Mathematical analysis itself is a branch of mathematics that deals with limits, continuity, differentiation, integration, sequences, series, and functions.
Mathematical relations refer to the ways in which different mathematical entities are connected or associated with one another. In mathematics, a relation is essentially a set of ordered pairs that describe a relationship between two sets of elements. Here are some key concepts related to mathematical relations: 1. **Definition**: A relation from a set \( A \) to a set \( B \) is a subset of the Cartesian product \( A \times B \).
Advanced quantum mechanics by Freeman Dyson (1951) by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Lecture notes that were apparently very popular at Cornell University. In this period he was actively synthesizing the revolutionary bullshit Richard Feynman and Julian Schwinger were writing and making it understandable to the more general physicist audience, so it might be a good reading.
We shall not develop straightaway a correct theory including many particles. Instead we follow the historical development. We try to make a relativistic quantum theory of one particle, find out how far we can go and where we get into trouble.
Oh yes, see also: Dirac equation vs quantum electrodynamics.
Probability fallacies are misconceptions or errors in reasoning related to probabilities, often leading individuals to draw incorrect conclusions based on how they interpret statistical information or probability outcomes. These fallacies stem from human intuition and cognitive biases, which can distort understanding of probability and risk. Here are some common examples of probability fallacies: 1. **Gambler's Fallacy**: This fallacy involves the belief that past independent events affect the likelihood of future independent events.
Formal systems by Wikipedia Bot 0
Formal systems are structured frameworks used in mathematics, logic, computer science, and other fields to rigorously define and manipulate symbols and statements according to a set of rules. Here are the main components of a formal system: 1. **Alphabet**: This consists of a finite set of symbols used to construct expressions or statements in the system. 2. **Syntax**: Syntax defines the rules for constructing valid expressions or statements from the symbols in the alphabet.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/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!
We have two killer features:
  1. 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-calculus
    Articles 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.

  2. 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.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
