    Geometry Theory
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a geometry theory involving a semicircle and its relationship to a rectangle and a cone. The theory claims that the area of the semicircle EBIG equals the difference between the rectangle ACJD and the cutoff cone ACHF. However, skepticism is expressed regarding the validity of this theory, particularly in terms of area comparisons between the semicircle and a triangle. The visual representation raises doubts about the accuracy of the claims, suggesting that the semicircle has a larger area than the triangle. Overall, the theory's origins and validity remain unclear, prompting a request for more information.

ok the theory says something like...

the semicircle EBIG = the difference between the rectangle ACJD and the cutoff cone ACHF

not sure if this is some important thing or anything?

but if it is,

who made it and where can i get some info bout it?

But it looks false to me...Basically you're stating that half of the small semicircle cutoff equals one of the side triangles...but the height is equal...almoust, the base of half is a lot bigger, and a semicircle attracts more surface than a triangle...in the curve vs oblique line.

I see it as not true to be honest...but that's only by looknig at the picture.
 
ok thanks that is all. no more comment needed
 
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...
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'
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...
