For her dinner, Ricky invited many persons to be seated around a round table. She prepared a lovely table plan but all of her guests arrived and took a seat so that everyone was sitting in front of somebody else’s place.

- All solutions will be posted June 5.

The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
