AI Thread Summary
Comprehensive problem sets for the books "0387949348" and "0486409163" are sought to enhance understanding of advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate topics. Users suggest exploring old qualifying exams from various math departments as potential resources. The focus is on exercises that improve mathematical ability rather than preparing for exams. Specific interest is expressed in problem sets aligned with the first 16 chapters of the second book. Recommendations for multiple sources may be necessary to find suitable materials.

Almost every math department has old quals online on their website. Or is this not what you're looking for?
 
I don't want to do exercises to learn for any exams...I want to do them to improve my ability, preferable on those topics in the http://web.doverpublications.com/cgi-bin/toc.pl/0486409163" (But only the first 16 chapter). And preferably on a level of an advance undergrad/ or beginning grad student. This may require more than one source I suppose. Any help is appreciated!

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

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...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
