Usefulness of Euler line in triangles?

AI Thread Summary
The Euler line in triangles connects key concurrency points, including the intersections of perpendicular bisectors, medians, and altitudes, but not angle bisectors. While it presents interesting geometric properties, its practical applications in real life are limited. Many discussions suggest that the Euler line is primarily of theoretical interest rather than practical use. The consensus leans towards viewing it as an intriguing mathematical concept rather than a tool for real-world applications. Overall, the Euler line is more about exploration in geometry than functional utility.

Is the Euler line in triangles USEFUL for anything in real life? This is the line which contains the concurrency points for the intersections of the triangle perpendicular bisectors, the medians, the altitudes, but not the angle bisectors. Interesting stuff, but are these points which occur on the Euler line useful in any applications?

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...
