Like Jimmy Wales, he used to work in finance and then quit. What is it with those successful e-learning people??

The more of their syntax gets merged into mainline Cascading Style Sheets, the better the world will be.

We can almost reach the Lie algebra of any isometry group in a single go. For every $X$ in the Lie algebra we must have:because $e^{tX}$ has to be in the isometry group by definition as shown at Section "Lie algebra of a matrix Lie group".

Then:so we reach:With this relation, we can easily determine the Lie algebra of common isometries:

For this sub-case, we can define the Lie algebra of a Lie group $G$ as the set of all matrices $M\in G$ such that for all $t\in \mathbb{R}$:If we fix a given $M$ and vary $t$, we obtain a subgroup of $G$. This type of subgroup is known as a one parameter subgroup.

The immediate question is then if every element of $G$ 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.

Examples:

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.

TODO there was one which was relly good, can't find it anymore. One day.

Subtle is the Lord by Abraham Pais (1982) chapter 4 "Entropy and Probability" mentions well how Boltzmann first thought that the second law was an actual base physical law of the universe while he was calculating numerical stuff for it, including as late as 1872.

But then he saw an argument by Johann Joseph Loschmidt that given the time reversibility of classical mechanics, and because they were thinking of atoms as classical balls as in the kinetic theory of gases, then there always exist a valid physical state where entropy decreases, by just reversing the direction of time and all particle speeds.

So from this he understood that the second law can only be probabilistic, and not a fundamental law of physics, which he published clearly in 1877.

The term is not very clear, as it could either mean:

We define it as a linear map where the domain is the same as the image, i.e. an endofunction.

Examples:

This is the standard model.

Example: llvm/hello.ll adapted from: llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#module-structure but without double newline.

To execute it as mentioned at github.com/dfellis/llvm-hello-world we can either use their crazy assembly interpreter, tested on Ubuntu 22.10:This seems to use puts from the C standard library.

Or we can Lower it to assembly of the local machine:which produces:and then we can assemble link and run with gcc:or with clang:hello.s uses the GNU GAS format, which clang is highly compatible with, so both should work in general.

Second quantization also appears to be useful not only for relativistic quantum mechanics, but also for condensed matter physics. The reason is that the basis idea is to use the number occupation basis. This basis is:
