I am not sure what sigma ($\Sigma$ or $\sigma$) means in your problem. Perhaps you can use the formula editor to the right of the edit box to enter the formula exactly as it appears in the problem statement, as well as the complete problem statement itself. LaTeX symbol codes (they start with a backslash) should be enclosed in the $$...$$ tags.

Hi Vi Nguyen! Welcome to MHB! ;)

The only sigma function I know, is the sum-of-divisors function. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor_function .

In that case we have:
$$\sigma(210)=576$$
 

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...
