AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the distance from point (b,0) to the final destination (10,0) after a person has walked from (0,0) to (10,0). The individual stopped between points (a,0) and (b,0), with a distance of 2m separating these two points. To find the distance from (10,0) to (b,0), the formula used is 10 - b. This calculation is essential for understanding the remaining distance to the final destination. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precise distance measurements in this context.

A person walked a distance of 10m from (0,0) to (10,0) - final distnation; prior to reaching final distancetion he stopped betwen 2 points (a,0) and (b,0). The distance between (a,0) and (b,0) is 2m. I need to know the distance between (10,0) and (b,0) Please check graph attached

Distance between (10,0) and (b,0) is 10-b
 

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...
