Hi, after surfing this forum i understood that i don't know anything about math. Can someone recommend me some services/resources that can help me?
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
I have deleted the link you posted, as that website is diametrically opposed to the philosophy of Math Help Boards, and even, in my opinion, utterly unethical. May that website die a thousand deaths. That website will not help you understand math in any way. If you want to understand math, then you've come to the right place! What we do here is quite different. You post problems, at most two per thread, and you show us the progress you've made on them, as well as explaining exactly where you're stuck. Then we come along and help you get unstuck, just at that one place. We do not hand out answers to you, because that won't help you understand. Math simply isn't a spectator sport. You have to pull the weight yourself.

You'll realize this once you come to test-time, and you don't have the resources of the other website at your disposal. Our way is slower, admittedly (so make sure you're asking questions well in advance! We're all volunteers here.), but it will help you understand far better.
 
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...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
