    Integrating an exponential function over [itex]|x|+|y| \leq 1[/itex]

    Which haves? Give me some more details please, I'm not looking for a full solution, only an explanation of how you're setting up the integral.

    Integrating an exponential function over [itex]|x|+|y| \leq 1[/itex]

    OK, I'm new to multi-variable calculus and I got this question in my exercises that asks me to integrate e^{-2(x+y)} over a diamond that is centered around the origin: \int\int_D e^{-2x-2y} dA where D=\{ (x,y): |x|+|y| \leq 1 \} I know that the region I'm integrating over is symmetric...

    How to find the number of elements with a particular order in a group?

    I'm preparing for an upcoming exam, and as I see one of the typical questions that is frequently asked in our exams is about finding the number of elements that have a particular order in a group like Sn. I searched on google and came up with some such problems with solutions. To be honest...

    How to think of uniform continuity intuitively?

    That is just restating the definition I believe. I'm looking for a more visual and intuitive picture of uniform continuity.

    Why do we need natural transformations?

    Few days ago, I was thinking about why we need to define V*=Hom(V,K) for a K-vector space when the dimension of V is finite because then V* and V both will have the same dimension and will be isomorphic. So, I couldn't understand why such a thing would be even called a dual vector space if it's...

    How to think of uniform continuity intuitively?

    I'm struggling with the concept of uniform continuity. I understand the definition of uniform continuity and the difference between uniform and ordinary continuity, but sometimes I confuse the use of quantifiers for the two. The other problem that I have is that intuitively I don't...
