AI Thread Summary
Log^3(n) signifies the third power of the logarithm of n, meaning log^3(n) is equivalent to (log(n))^3. This notation is similar to how sin^3(x) represents (sin(x))^3. The discussion clarifies that log^3(n) does not alter the fundamental shape of the logarithmic function. Understanding this notation is essential for interpreting mathematical expressions accurately. Overall, log^3(n) is simply a matter of notation indicating exponentiation of the logarithm.

I was wondering what does log^3(n) mean (yes its log^3 (n) not log (n)^3)?

What do you mean with :" what does log^3n mean? It is simply the third power of the log. Or are u asking how will that change the basic shape of the log function?

Does that mean log^3 n = (logn)^3?
 
Yes.

Just like

\sin^3x = (\sin x)^3
 
It's just notation.
 

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

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 '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...
