    B Onto set mapping is the surjective set mapping, and into injective?

    Yes. Simmons is being precise. Into means inyective. That's accurate, indeed. Thanks, @fresh_42 !

    B Onto set mapping is the surjective set mapping, and into injective?

    The textbook is being fine. I asked the forum for some introduction to topology, and decided to start with Simmon`s. This naive question is due to ignorance of the words into and onto, which I don't distinguish in Spanish. A quick browsing sugests I'm right.

    B Is this the right set mapping notation for a limit in two variables?

    In fact, the cartesian coordinates are continous, and sine function too; this means the value of the limit at any points ##(x,\,y)## will be the same as the function's value. In this case: $$\displaystyle\lim_{(x,\,y)\rightarrow{(a,\,b)}}{f(x,\,y)g(x,\,y)}=LM$$ ##L## and ##M## being the values...

    It is going to be hard work for me, but the link is very revealing. Simmons' "Introduction to topology and modern analysis" is the textbook I was looking for. Thank you, @mathwonk

    My background is calculus, but I feel that, in calculus (my textbook is Calculus, by Robert Adams), I study limits, continuity, differentiation, integrals, etc, but, I realize that if we want cool things to happen in calculus, we need some basic topological concepts: I've taken a look at metric...

    In defense of the philosophy of physics

    Now I understand the work of those who think and work about the essence of physics. Thank you, @fresh_42

    In defense of the philosophy of physics

    I still don`t understand: which is the philosophy behind Newton`s second law of motion ##\vec{F}=m\vec{a}##, for example?. I can´t even provide any attempt. Yes, I can google it, but I find nothing new: mathematical empiricism, absolute space and time, forces as the cause of motion, etc.

    In defense of the philosophy of physics

    I don't understand what is the difference between a physician and a philosopher on physics.

    What is the deepest/most impactful statement that you have ever seen?

    "The hell of the living is not something that will be. If there is one, it is what is already here, the hell we live in every day, that we make by being together. There are two ways to scape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the hell, and become such a part of it that you can no...

    B Is this the right set mapping notation for a limit in two variables?

    $$\displaystyle\int_{(x,\,y)\rightarrow{(\pi/3,\,2)}}{y\sin\bigg(\cfrac{x}{y}\bigg)}=1$$ means that $$\forall{\epsilon>0},\,\exists{\delta>0}$$ such that whenever $$0<\sqrt{(x-\pi/3)^2+(y-2)}<\delta$$ then $$\bigg | y\sin\bigg(\cfrac{x}{y}\bigg)-1\bigg |<\epsilon$$ Proof Given ##\epsilon>0##, we...

    B Is this the right set mapping notation for a limit in two variables?

    I'm working on an ##\epsilon/\delta## proof of the limit of ##f(x,\,y)=y\sin\bigg (\cfrac{x}{y}\bigg)##. It will take me a while just to arrange an attempt. Yes. No preview

    B Is this the right set mapping notation for a limit in two variables?

    $$\displaystyle\lim_{(x,\,y)\rightarrow{(\pi/3,\,2)}}{y\sin\bigg(\cfrac{x}{y}\bigg)}=2\sin\bigg(\cfrac{\pi}{6}\bigg)=1$$ Set mapping notation I've attempted: $$\mathbb{R}^2\,\,\,\longrightarrow{\quad{\mathbb{R}}}$$ $$f(x,y)\,\longrightarrow{1}$$ No preview.

    Came across this puzzle for an 8 year old

    No idea @sbrothy, but IMO, PF should not accept those who don't respect PF clear and easy rules, ie, statement of the question, attempt to solve, a little bit of LaTeX... In a single word : effort.

    I want to know if the sketch I've drawn of the catenary suits the exercise

    Everything gets fixed, I mean well defined, if we set the proper function that suits the correct diagram, ie, ##f(x)=82.42\cosh{\cfrac{x}{82.42}}##. Provided a cientific calculator, ##x_A=29.37##, and ##x_B=84.44##; so we conclude...

    The diagram is twisted to the right in the original post. It should have been like this:
