    A question concerning matrix norms

    The matrix norm induced by a vector norm ||.||_a is defined by ||A||_a = \sup_{x \neq 0} \frac{||Ax||_a}{||x||_a}. In showing the equality of matrix norms under the condition I've posted last time, I don't know how to deal with the denominator appeared in the denominator inside the supremum as...

    A question concerning matrix norms

    I wonder given ||Ax||_{a} = ||Bx||_{b} for any x \in \mathbb{R}^n, is it true that ||A||_{a} = ||B||_{b}, where ||.||_{a}, ||.||_{b} are two vector norms and the matrix norms are induced by the corresponding vector norms? Thanks in advance.

    Self-Studying Physics: Recommended Books and the Role of Mathematics

    I agree that taking courses are the best choice in learning Physics. So perhaps I'll see if I can squeeze some credits and time to take some courses! Originally I'm thinking of minoring in Computer Science, which I'm also interested in. I understand it's hard to self-learn physics. Is it...

    Self-Studying Physics: Recommended Books and the Role of Mathematics

    I've once considered minoring in physics. However, the curriculum of physics minor in my university were so designed that it's quite difficult to take their elementary courses without time clash with my major courses. :cry: I know for physics it's better to take courses, but I just wonder if...

    Self-Studying Physics: Recommended Books and the Role of Mathematics

    I'm promoting to Year 2 under a 3-year undergraduate curriculum. The math courses I've taken includes Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, a first course in Mathematical Analysis and elementary Probability Theory. For Physics, I haven't taken any Physics course in university, and my Physics...

    Self-Studying Physics: Recommended Books and the Role of Mathematics

    I'm currently an undergraduate with major in Mathematics. Since I'm quite interested in Physics, I'd like to self-learn some topics in Physics, in particular Classical Mechanics and Relativity. What books do you recommend for a beginner in these topics? Do my study in Mathematics helps? And...
