AI Thread Summary
Angel had five times the number of stickers as Kareem. After giving 36 stickers to Kareem, both ended up with an equal amount. The equations derived from the situation are a = 5k and a - 36 = k + 36. Solving these equations reveals that Angel originally had 180 stickers and Kareem had 36 stickers. Altogether, they had 216 stickers.

I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

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.

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...
