    MHB Proof that Ha=Hb: Element y in Hb Proven True for Ha

    i was given that if y is an element in Hb then it is an element in Ha. that is Ha=Hb proof I said: since y in Hb then then y= h(1)b for h(1) in H to show that Ha=Hb let x be an elt in Ha hence x=h(2)a for some h(2) in H. now i am stuck

    Small mass element for laminar (moment of inertia)

    Hi, I was just going over the moment of inertia for a 2D lamina, I've been happy with writing the small mass element dM as dM = ρdxdy where ρ is the area density, but for some reason decided on doing it like this, M(x,y) = ρxy so dM = \frac{∂M}{∂x}dx + \frac{∂M}{∂y}dy = ρ(ydx +...

    Area element vector for parametric surface integrals

    When doing surface integrals of surfaces described parametrically, we use the area element dA = ndS = (rv x rw)dvdw Where dS is the surface area element and v and w are the parameters. I'm fine with the derivation of this (I think) but I don't understand why it's necessary to have n and dS...

    What is the difference between sets and classes in set theory?

    Question 2 (a) how is it possible? B is a set (since A is a set), how can a set be an element of another set? Rather than saying: B is an element of C I thought it would be better to say: B is a subset of C. Also, can someone explain question 2 (d) to me? thanks

    Least k Such that a^k=1 in Finite Ring R

    Is there a term for the least k such that a^k = 1 in some ring R (if it exists, specifically in a finite ring)? Is there a way to get an upper bound in general? I know that it's hard to get even in say F_p, but I'm just looking for some conditions that would help me understand what it looks like.
