Exponential Definition and 1000 Threads

The exponential of a complex number is a complex number. Does this extent to the quaternions and the octonions? Does the exponential of a quaternion give a quaternion? Does the exponential of an octonion give an octonion? Thanks.

I’ve read about the exponential map that for Lie groups the exponential map is actually the exponential function. But the exponential map is based on the geodesic ODE, so you need Christoffel symbols and thus the metric. But usually nobody gives you a metric with a Lie group. So how can I get...

How to Integrate it::: ∫e^(ax²+bx+c)dx Or in general e raised to quadratic or any polynomial. I am trying hard to recall but I couldn't recall this integration. I tried using By-parts but the integration goes on and on.

Homework Statement In my book, there is a formula that gives the amount (in grams) of Radium in a jar after t years (100 grams were initially stored): R = 100⋅e-0.00043⋅t The book asks me to sketch the graph of the equation. I decided to find a point where the time elapsed equals the...

Hello,I was wondering. Is the exponential function, the only function where ##y'=y##. I know we can write an infinite amount of functions just by multiplying ##e^{x}## by a constant. This is not my point. Lets say in general, is there another function other than ##y(x)=ae^{x}## (##a## is a...

This is not a physics question. Each time a ball bounces it will bounce to, let's say 75% of its previous height. (I am not interested in the time, energy or velocity, of the ball.) So if we drop it from 100 cm it will bounce back up to 75 cm, and on the next bounce it goes up to 56.25 cm and...
