Hi, If we contract a (n-1)d hyperplane with a n-simplex, then what is maximum number of intersection points with the egdes of the simplex and the hyperplane ? For, if we draw a line within a 2-simplex (there are 3 edges), it will have a intersection of maximum two edges. For 3-simplex, any...

Find the points of intersection of $\rho=\cos\left({2\theta}\right)$ and $\rho=\cos\left({\theta}\right)$ By setting $\cos\left({2\theta}\right)=\cos\left({\theta}\right)$, we get the solutions $\theta=0,\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{4\pi}{3}$. My question is how come that doesn't give us all the...

Definition/Summary A conic section (or conic) is any curve which results from a plane slicing through an upright circular cone. If the slope of the plane is zero, it cuts only one half of the cone, and the conic is a circle (or a point, if the plane goes through the apex of the cone). If the...

In a previous thread, I asked a question different from that I actually intended to ask. Since this question is licit and was answered by micromass, I open this new thread. The right question is in fact: If R is an integral domain, and R' is INTEGRAL over R, then the function f which assigns...

Hello, Thanks to the help of micromass in a previous thread, I am now able to prove the following theorem (which can be seen as a (somewhat improved) version of the "going up" and "going down" theorems): If R is an integral domain, and R' is integrally closed over R, then the function f...
