Thread, Over 1/4 century ago, I was reading about base 256 and the book stated that if you used all the english letters and numbers, and borrowed characters from other languages you would still not have 256 identifiable characters, and nobody was about to come up with such a character set...so I took that as a challenge and came up with 256 unique and sensible characters. I wrote a basic program on my Commodore 64 Executive that printed them all out. I sent it in to the patent office, but they said you couldn't patent a number system, but I might be able to copyright the characters. I told various people about the system over the years, and entertained various ide…

If numbers have a beginning witch is one they necessarily have an ending If they don't ..... Is the problem in the way we address or write numbers ? Let say numbers are a circle 1 is a rayon in a circle 2 is a diameter 3 is 3 rayon dividing the circle in equal surfaces 4 is 4 rayon ..... etc In the end we are going to draw a disk But when? When are the surfaces between rayons are going to be equal to 0? One day for sure Conclusion : Infinity doesn't exist and numbers begin with 0 which is a centre in the circle And the infinity? well its calculable but how much exacly? Is it Allah (1665) that the Muslims..etc worship? And what is the obvious way to get…

Q1. You have 2 number and they are both number 2, so what are the 2 numbers equal to. Q2 same question instead of having both numbers 2 you have one 8 and one 9. Have fun answering

Hello guys! I have two quaternions with norm equal to 1. Both are represented in the angle-phase form, i.e, I have q=exp(i*\phi)exp(k*\psi)exp(j*\theta) and p=exp(i*\phi')exp(k*\psi')exp(j*\theta'). Let \alpha be the angle between q and p. I need to write \alpha in function of \phi-\phi', \psi-\psi' and \theta-\theta' in a simple way. Could anyone give me some idea?

Title says it all. I've been challenged by my teacher to do this. I am currently doing it out by hand, it it is extremely tedious and annoying. Are there other more efficient ways to do this? Thanks in advance. (P.S. I know I can put it into wolfram, I do have the answer. I just need to figure it out by hand)

I thought of a probabilistic primality test a while back and have looked online trying to find if this method has been used or described anywhere before, but so far haven't seen it anywhere. The basic idea is as follows: Define f(x, y) as the number of times “temp = y”, “y = x modulo y” and “x = temp” can be preformed before y is equal to 1 For example, f(25, 7) = 3 because 25 modulo 7 = 4 step 1 7 modulo 4 = 3 step 2 4 modulo 3 = 1 step 3 In general, using prime numbers as either x or y will result in a higher answer when compared to non prime…

hello dear scientists I am new member in this website.and apologise if there already exist answers before questioning. as you see I want to be research/teaching asistant ,international especialy I wish it to be in usa ,canada ,or australya how possible is. and before of my questions I want to give my features. ** firstly I am 26 years old ,and now MSc (thesis based) student (new) (interest : functional analysis).(it is not new this state,but because of lots of difficulties to be academician in this part of science in turkey, Ihave had a break for a while) ** in personality , I can say that I am very very social, I love almost all humans,and can communi…

Technically, there is no such thing as an odd number. The reason why is because, you can split numbers. This might seem to break the rules of Mathematics, but however it doesn't. In real life, which is what Math is for, you are able to split items. In example, You find 1 cookie, and your brother wants a cookie too, so you split it, 0.5 and 0.5.

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate some advice. For my college project, I'm researching the impacts that microplastics have upon Artemia salina, and one of the things we will be assessing is the LC50 (the lethal concentration that will kill 50% of the test population) value of the microplastics over a 96 hour test period. A lot of research has gone into this project to get it going, but one sticking point I'm having is understanding the idea of working out the concentrations of microplastics. I like the idea of measuring out the plastics in either micrograms or microlitres per millilitres, but according to researchers and the microplastic distributors, it is much…

Is there a way to provide coordinates such that the arc length between two lines, red and purple for instance, can be said to remain at a fixed value for where they intersect both circles?

Blueprint for a E-PI-COMPUTER That is better than a quantum computer any day. I have made the theory and code public. I have also shared it with legends like Sir Stephen Hawking, feedback awaited.

A while back I read that Mochizuki may have solved the abc conjecture but apparently the proof was so complicated that it was challenging for mathematicians to actually understand it. It is probably a bit of a long shot, but has anyone heard more about it from a professional side (i.e. from the actual community rather than blogs)? As a whole I found the whole issue quite an interesting in context of both, cutting edge science and science communication.

I am wondering if something like this N/β=0 , N≠0 has any function? This beta would help us get rid of any left over numbers as in x^2=1 we would have x^2/β(1) The β(1) only tells us what used to be there.

Please help. My attempt to rotate the volume about the x-axis of y=x^2, first by disk method, then by shell method produces two answers - where obviously it should be the same answer. The limits are from 1 to 0. 1. V=Pi int(x^2)^2 dx = Pi int(y^4)dx = Pi/5 = 0.62631 ft cbd. (Disk method using f(x) where y=x^2). 2. V=2Pi int y.(sqrt y) dy = 4xPi/5 = 2.51327 ft cbd. (Shell method using g(y) where x=sq rt y). Couldn't be simpler? I've spent hours trying to see what's wrong.

i have few more dumb questions about some basic stuffs ... is it always possible to plot the graphs of algebraic expressions and equations on the graph ??? i always had these doubts about variables ...how they were going to look like in a graph ?? about expressions , equations ... and how they are represented in the graph ... are they only going to look like simply points on the graph ??? or you can call it a region ? or something like that ??? i have been trying to stare into books at free times... trying to fill the missing parts ... its a bit exhaustive .. sometimes i want to look into the books ... then i get double exhausted after staring into …

I'm doing some PDE exercices and I'm having a rough time finding out on which variable my problem depends on. For example, if I have to solve the Laplace equation (or any homogeneous PDE) over a cylinder (or sphere) with Dirichlet (or Neumann or Robin) boundary conditions that depends on z and r, how I know if the solution depends on the angular coordinate? What I'm doing actually is set the separation of variables and notice that for the angular part I have not any boundary conditions so I can't find a unique solution. Is that a right way to do that? I know that for the cylinder I have periodical conditions psi(0)=psi(2pi) but it isn't enough right? Anyway, is there a…

I'm going to say the conjecture is wrong on the basis that the last three largest prime numbers have an over fifty thousand line gap each with 100 numbers in each therefore there is no way for the largest prime - 1 to be found as the sum of two primes.

From wiki: "ZFC does not assume that, for every property, there is a set of all things satisfying that property. Rather, it asserts that given any set X, any subset of X definable using first-order logic exists. The object R discussed above cannot be constructed in this fashion, and is therefore not a ZFC set. In some extensions of ZFC, objects like R are called proper classes." I was running through possible sets without subsets and started to think of sets containing only explicitly unique objects. The definition of an explicitly unique object being an object which does not share the same value of its properties with any other object. I then thought about quant…

i have this few doubts about taking an initial guess ... i am not sure how to do that when it comes to certain equations for solving them with numerical methods ...i dont know how to do that you are supposed to take an initial guess when it comes to certain equations ... is it about re arranging equations to fit certain formulas ... ??? do i have to take an initial guess of something in the equations when methods like these are involved ... ??? few simple examples .. might look like this ... that is fixed point iteration on a quadratic equation ... they start by re arranging equations to apply the fixed point iteration ... what is the initial gue…

Hi, I am a senior in High school. In only 4 months I have managed to self teach (from paperback books, PDF files and online courses uploaded to various platforms such as youtube)the following during my free time: Calculus 1,2,3, Differential Equations Linear Algebra Abstract Algebra Discrete Mathematics Analysis 1,2 Calculus of Variations (Optimization Calculus) Elementary Number theory Concise Introduction to Mathematical Logic It is clear to me that I am gifted. I can only imagine once I dedicate myself full time to the study of math. I am not clear what exactly to study. I am interested in Complexity Theory, Number Theory and Artificial Intelligence. I…

It appears that the calculoation of the amount of bending of light passing the sun uses the same calculation that is used for a comet passing the sun.. If that is the case there is a problem. The comet accelerates then decelerates while the light maintians a constant velocity. That means it takes longer for the light to pass the sun than it would if it could be accelerated in the forward direction. By allowing for the constant velocity of light the result should match the Special Relativity calculation. Does this reaoning make sense?

This is not as frivolous as the title suggests, but since this subforum seems to have gone into hibernation, try this 1. Take any number at all with more than 1 digit and add the digits. 2. If the result has more than one digit, add again 3. Now subtract this single-digit number from your starting number (not added) 4. Add the resulting digits again. 5. I bet it will be the number 9 Can you see why? Once you do, you will see that the restriction in (1) to more than a single digit is not required. PS If anyone here asks "what is the point of this thread, do I have a question?", the question is already posed, and the "point" is to illustra…

this is a noob question to most of you .. but i would like to have some clarity ... since i am still following computer oriented numerical methods .... last time , i opened up a thread about polynomials and numerical methods ... some of the things got clearer ... and some of the things got lost in the confusion of discussions ... the last thread was mostly a lot of basic questions about linear and non linear polynomial equations ... some of the things got clearer ... some not that clear .... anyway back to the question ... what are simultaneous equation ? what are systems of linear equations ? is it simply a bunch of polynomia…
