AI Thread Summary
To create a uniform random variable on the surface of a sphere from 1D uniform random variables, the method involves using two unified random variables, Y and theta. The function F(Y, theta) = (sqrt(r^2 - Y^2) * sin(theta), Y, sqrt(r^2 - Y^2) * cos(theta)) generates the desired spherical surface random variable. This approach effectively maps the 1D variables onto the 3D spherical surface. The solution provides a systematic way to achieve uniform distribution across the sphere. This method is significant for applications requiring random sampling on spherical surfaces.

Lets say we have as much as 1D uniform random variables we want.
How from these 1D uniform random variable, we can create a uniform random variable upon the shell of a sphere?

I have solved the problem.
To get a unified spherical surface random variable you need to do the following:
Given Y and teta are unified random variables each.
The random variable F(Y, teta) = (Sqrt(r^2-Y^2)*sin(teta), Y, Sqrt(r^2-Y^2)*cos(teta))
Gives a unified sphere surface random variable.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
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...
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...
