AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a parametric equation for a specific graph, with the horizontal axis represented by (i hat) and the vertical axis by (j hat). The proposed function is g(n) = sin(n*pi/31)*(i hat) + (sin(2*pi*n/31)+n/10)*(j hat). Participants explore the characteristics of this equation and its implications for the graph's shape. The focus is on the mathematical formulation and its potential applications. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding parametric equations in graphing functions.

Let the horizontal axis be denoted by (i hat) and the vertical axis be (j hat) and call the function g(n). The function would be something like:

g(n) = sin(n*pi/31)*(i hat) + (sin(2*pi*n/31)+n/10)*(j hat)
 

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...

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...
