Why implicit function is a function?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
https://mathhelpboards.com/calculus-10/implicit-function-24656.html are some answers to the same question.
Given such a quite broad question, many different answers are possible.
My personal (Pavlovian) reaction would probably mention the implicit function theorem, but I think the discussion is best continued in that other topic.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
