AI Thread Summary
The floor function, denoted as $$\lfloor x \rfloor$$, represents the largest integer that is not greater than a given value $x$. This function is also referred to as the integral part or integer part of $x$. It can be formally defined using a set equation that identifies the maximum integer $m$ such that $m$ is less than or equal to $x$. Understanding the floor function is essential in various mathematical applications, particularly in discrete mathematics and computer science. The floor function plays a crucial role in rounding down real numbers to their nearest integers.

That is one way to denote the floor function, more commonly given as $$\lfloor x \rfloor$$, which means the largest integer not greater than $x$. Its value at $x$ is called the integral part or integer part of $x$. The fllor function may be defined by the set equation:

$$\lfloor x \rfloor=\max\{m\in\mathbb{Z}\,|\,m\le x\}$$
 

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...
