AI Thread Summary
The zeta function is a complex function that plays a crucial role in number theory, particularly in understanding the distribution of prime numbers. The Riemann Hypothesis posits that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on a specific line in the complex plane, which has significant implications for mathematics. The discussion emphasizes the historical importance and ongoing relevance of these concepts in mathematical research. Resources are provided for further exploration of the zeta function and the Riemann Hypothesis. Understanding these topics is essential for grasping advanced mathematical theories.

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 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
