    How Can You Memorize Efficiently Like Benoit Mandelbrot?

    As the title said, how do you memorize efficiently? For example, knowledge on your interested fields.

    Other Books for Geometry, Real Analysis and EM

    Hi, all. I would like to read books about the topics - Geometry, Real Analysis and Electricity and Magnetism. And I find the followings. Are they decent and rigorous? Geometry The Real Numbers and Real Analysis Introduction to Electrodynamics Classical Electricity and Magnetism Electricity...

    Linear Algebra with Proof by Contradiction

    For the proof by contradiction about ##\sqrt 2## is a irrational number, we conclude that it is true once we find the contradiction. In this case, why can't I conclude that ##u + v \in W## is true? Is ##not (u + v \in U) = u + v \in W## wrong?

    Linear Algebra with Proof by Contradiction

    This is a linear algebra question which I am confused. 1. Homework Statement Prove that "if the union of two subspaces of ##V## is a subspace of ##V##, then one of the subspaces is contained in the other". The Attempt at a Solution Suppose ##U##, ##W## are subspaces of ##V##. ##U \cup W##...

    Contradiction Method: Proving Statements Through Contradiction and Supposition

    Proof by contradiction starts by supposing a statement, and then shows the contradiction. 1. Homework Statement Now, there is a statement ##A##. Suppose ##A## is false. It leads to contradiction. So ##A## is true. My question: There are two statements ##A## and ##B##. Suppose ##A## is true...

    I Differentiation is Exact or Approximation

    By chain rule, ##\begin{align} \frac {d\sin(\theta/2)} {d(\theta /2)}\frac {d(\theta / 2)} {d\theta} & = \frac {1} {2} \cos\frac {\theta} {2} \frac {d\theta} {dt} \nonumber \\ |\frac {d\mathbf A} {dt} | & = A\cos\frac {\theta} {2} \frac {d\theta} {dt} \nonumber \end{align}## It seems they are...

    I Differentiation is Exact or Approximation

    Is Differentiation exact or just an approximation? I am wonder whether this question is meaningful or not. Slope is expressed as "it is approaching to a value as x is approaching 0" so it is inappropriate to ask such question. But when I deal with uniform circular motion, it is very confusing...

    I What Are the Key Properties of Scalar Product and the Law of Cosines?

    So if we have to define something, we have to calculate these laws before applying using the basic arithmetic rules.

    I What Are the Key Properties of Scalar Product and the Law of Cosines?

    Now it is defined as the angle between ##\mathbf A## and ##\mathbf B## where ##\theta## is smaller than or equal to ##\pi## and it is commutative. How do you find out that it is not distributive? Um... How are these two examples related to the derivation?

    I Family of Circles through Two Points: Exists Any Circle Beyond?

    Is k served as a parameter to choose the center points of the circle passing through those two points, for k != -1?

    I Coordinate System: Understanding Polar Vectors

    So in Cartesian Coordinates System and Polar Coordinates System, the "rules" to express same vector is different. It is not appropriate to interpret the vector in Polar form as one in Cartesian. How do we define mathematical operations in Polar form, for example, differentiation? Is it by...

    I What Are the Key Properties of Scalar Product and the Law of Cosines?

    Scalar Product is defined as ##\mathbf A \cdot \mathbf B = | \vec A | | \vec B | \cos \theta##. With the construct of a triangle, the Law of Cosines is proved. ##\mathbf A## points to the tail of ##\mathbf B##. Well, ##\mathbf C## starts from the tail of ##\mathbf A## and points to somewhere...
