Limit

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around evaluating two limits, where one participant initially calculated e^3/0, mistakenly interpreting it as e^(infinity). They later corrected their error, confirming that the first limit should yield e^3, while the second limit correctly results in e^(-5/2) as verified by Wolfram Alpha. The conversation highlights the importance of accurate calculations in limit evaluations. The participant expresses gratitude for the clarification regarding their mistake. Overall, the thread emphasizes the significance of double-checking mathematical results.

Can some one check results I got e^3/0 which is e^(infitnity) and for second I got e^(-5/2)

According to wolfram alpha you should get $e^3$ for the first limit and indeed $e^{\frac{-5}{2}}$ for the second one.

Oh yes it is 3 I made mistake with dividing, ty

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 '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...
