AI Thread Summary
The number of digits in \(2^{1000}\) can be calculated using the formula for the number of digits in a number, which is given by \( \lfloor \log_{10}(n) \rfloor + 1 \). With \( \log_{10}(2) \approx 0.301\), the calculation shows that \(2^{1000}\) contains 302 digits. Participants in the discussion confirmed this result and expressed satisfaction with the solution. The mathematical approach was appreciated for its clarity and efficiency. Overall, the challenge was successfully resolved with a straightforward calculation.

Thought this challenge was worth asking here :D

Using mathematics, how many digits does the number $$2^{1000} $$contain?

Because is $\log 2 \sim .301$, then $2^{1000}$ has 302 digits... Kind regards$\chi$ $\sigma$
 
Nice! I thought it would take a little longer to figure that out! Correct answer!:D
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
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 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
