    Generalisation of Parseval's Theorem via Convolution Theorem

    Thanks for the automated response. I posted the same question on MathSE, and was told that the manipulation is correct as long as everything converges, although one should note that the convolution is on \mathbb{Z} rather than on \mathbb{R}. The only question I have left is whether that means I...

    Generalisation of Parseval's Theorem via Convolution Theorem

    Homework Statement [/B] Suppose we have a 2\pi-periodic, integrable function f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{C} whose Fourier coefficients are known. Parseval's theorem tells us that: \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty}|\widehat{f(n)}|^2 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|f(x)|^{2}dx, where...

    My first exercise on Group Theory

    Almost. Are you sure the inverse of 6 is 1? Can two elements have the same inverse?

    My first exercise on Group Theory

    I don't agree with the bolded. Is the product of 1 and 6 the identity element? Correct. Such an element is called a generator of G.

    Are Finite Families of Closed Sets Closed?

    This is easiest to do if you instead try showing that, if E_i are open sets, where 1 \leqslant i \leqslant n, then \bigcap_{i=1}^{n} E_{i} is open, which pretty much follows from the definition of an open set. You can then take complements and you're done.

    Agreed, those options are wrong (and your solution is correct). There's probably a typo in either B or C.

    What to do about the inevitable "Freshers' Flu"

    Thanks for all of your replies. I've bought one of those alcohol-based sanitisers as someone suggested, and I'm getting into the habit of washing my hands more frequently, and trying to get into the habit of a more regular sleeping pattern and better exercise. I've decided to go to the...
