AI Thread Summary
Higher dimensional mathematics explores concepts beyond the traditional three dimensions, including the application of Maxwell's equations in four-dimensional space. This area of study can be complex and challenging to understand, often requiring a solid foundation in advanced mathematics. Resources such as John A. Wheeler's books may provide insights into these four-dimensional arguments. Engaging with these texts can help clarify the principles and applications of higher dimensional mathematics. Understanding this topic can significantly enhance one's grasp of theoretical physics and advanced mathematical concepts.

Heigher dimensional Mathematics.

Hello,
Recently, i was reading a book and a new topic i was introdused to was Mathemaics of heigher dimensions (i don't know what exactly it is called it was written same). I n it the maxwell's equations were solved in 4-dimensions rather than the usuall 3-dimensions and more problems were treated it.
Also some equations were solved using it but i couldn't understand even a word of it. I'd like if anyone please tell or explain this topic to me.

Thanks

If you can find certain of John A. Wheeler's books, you will probably see the point of some of the 4-dimensional arguments.
 

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 '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 '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...
