AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around proving the equation gcd(m·a, m·b) = m·gcd(a, b) for non-negative integers. The original poster struggles to find a straightforward proof and seeks clarification on notation, specifically the use of asterisks. Participants suggest that the notation may be a typographical error and recommend using LaTeX for clearer mathematical expressions. The conversation highlights the importance of precise notation in mathematical discussions. Ultimately, the need for clarity in communication is emphasized.

I wanted to prove thatIf*m*is a non-negative integer, then gcd(m·a,*m·b)*=*m·gcd(a,*b) and couldn't find an easy way to do it I know it's pretty straight forward but I couldn't do it in a simple way.

What are the *s supposed to be?
 
Just miss taped that
 
X(a^b) =xa^xb
 
You are still not making any sense. Try reading about using Latex on our forums.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. 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...
