    Symbolize Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

    Could the likes of Doxastic logic be usable here? I'm not really familiar with formal logic, just throwing this out.

    Diagrammatic Tensor Notation from the Beginning

    I really like these! UML might give you some ideas.

    Convergence of Rational Sequences in Subspaces

    Thanks Dick, Cauchy + Completeness clarified it. I noticed that the problems in this book reference things from all over the place. And many thanks Ivy for taking the time to set everything straight. Very appreciated!

    Convergence of Rational Sequences in Subspaces

    Homework Statement From Introduction to Topology by Bert Mendelson, Chapter 2.7, Exercise 8: Consider the subspace (Q, d_Q) (the rational numbers) of (R, d). Let a1, a2, ... be a sequence of rational numbers such that \lim_{n} a_n = \sqrt{2}. Does the sequence converge when considered...

    Resource/reference for particle interactions?

    Thanks! That's exactly the kind of resource I'm interested in.

    Resource/reference for particle interactions?

    Is there a collection somewhere of particle interaction descriptions? For example, if I'm wondering what an electron-positron interaction does, what website can I type "electron positron" into and get back a handful of Feynman diagrams of relevant interactions? If that's too idealistic, is...

    LaTeX Create Math Diagrams in LaTeX: Does TeX Have Diagram Package?

    Thanks for the recommendations. Is it possible to make an angled arrow? I think I'll stick to CorelDraw for the time being. I could probably make a simple SVG-to-picture converter program, but I'm not sure how much it's worth the trouble. Actually there are obviously LaTeX picture...

    LaTeX Create Math Diagrams in LaTeX: Does TeX Have Diagram Package?

    Does the TeX install here have a diagram package? For diagrams like commutative diagrams. It would be nice.

    Can Continuity Guarantee a Minimum Value on an Interval?

    Homework Statement From Introduction to Topology by Bert Mendelson, Chapter 2.4, Exercise 8: Let R be the real numbers and f: R -> R a continuous function. Suppose that for some number a \in R, f(a) > 0. Prove that there is a positive number k and a closed interval F = [a - \delta, a +...

    Neighborhood Proof for Distinct Points in a Metric Space

    That's hilarious. I was thinking that if we define an open ball of radius d(a,b)/2 about each point, then the neighborhoods wouldn't intersect. But I wasn't sure I could generalize this from R^2. Thanks. Here's an attempt at a proof: About each point a and b, define an open ball of radius...

    Neighborhood Proof for Distinct Points in a Metric Space

    Homework Statement From Introduction to Topology by Bert Mendelson, Chapter 2.4, Exercise 6: Let a and b be distinct points of a metric space X. Prove that there are neighborhoods N_a and N_b of a and b respectively such that N_a \cap N_b = \varnothing. 2. The attempt at a solution OK...

    MATLAB Creating a unit step function in Matlab

    I think recent versions of Matlab come with the function under the name heaviside (i.e. Heaviside step function.)

    Confusion with Continuity Definition

    O.k., so the epsilon is a "for all" variable? If so then that's what I misunderstood. Thanks.
