Our knowledge of the world begins not with matter, but with perception. There are no physical quantities independent of the observer. All physical quantities used to describe Nature refer to the observer. Moreover, different observers can take into account the same sequence of events in different ways. Consequently, each observer assumes a “stay” in his physical world, which is determined by the context of his own observations.
If mathematics and physics, which describe the surrounding reality, are effective human creations, then we must consider the relationship between human consciousness and reality. Undoubtedly, the existing unprecedented scientific and technological progress will continue. However, if there is a limit to this progress, the rate of discovery will slow down. This remark is especially important for artificial intelligence, which seeks to create a truly super intelligent machine.

Dear Boris Menin ,
Golden ratio is a geometric mean or average . it could be apply to every aspect of life even in which amount we have to inhale and exhale to getting the perfectness that also explain by the meditation. The perfectness can achieve by the meditation that reflects in many Indian temples architecture those follow the Fibonacci series pattern in the temple architecture without knowledge of the series but due the devotion towards the god temple construction they constructed temple with meditation. There are also the statue of Gautam Buddha in which we found the golden ratio without knowledge of golden ration . So some where you can see the golden ration and meditation and devotion are the synonyms .

I am interested in the practical uses of mathematical minimal surfaces in engineering design (such as gyroids, Schwarz surfaces, etc.). Can anyone provide good examples, particularly in art and design (or nature-based design)? I am particularly interested in examples that have been physically created and used for some practical purpose or as art. However, I am having a hard time finding published work on this topic that is not purely computational.
If anyone has published work in this area, please consider sharing it in this thread so we can get a good discussion going.

Hello Ana-Lyn,
You could try:
1. Using released items from NAEP for the high school level (https://nces.ed.gov/NationsReportCard/nqt/help/NQT_Help/!SSL!/WebHelp_Pro/NQT_Help.htm);
2. Using previous versions of PISA items (https://www.oecd.org/pisa/pisaproducts/pisa-test-questions.htm)
3. Using previous versions of TIMMS items (https://nces.ed.gov/timss/released-questions.asp), though these are generally only for as high as grade 8.
Some combination of these sources would likely serve to give you a good starting point for assessing teachers' command of a specific discipline, at least at a level commensurate with that of high school training. Of course, if the teachers you assess are very strong in the discipline (and good at test-taking!), then you may end up with a lot of very high scores (so-called "ceiling effect").
Short of that, you could obviously assemble a group of subject-matter experts, a test-development expert, and attempt to: (a) define the relevant domain of skills that you believe a teacher should possess; and (b) develop and try out items designed to measure whether a given examinee sufficiently possesses each given skill.
Good luck with your work.

Math relates numbers to other numbers. But this is insufficient for physics. Physics models which include a cause-and-effect are more useful and result in bettter human understanding. For example, current models are time reversable. If cause-and-effect is part of the calculation, the model would not be time reversable without another equation showing how energy (entropy) is expended. Further, any proposed model that was only mathematical manupliation would not be considered physics.
Relevant answer
Answer
You are correct. Causality and the arrow of time are being consistently ignored as both Quantum probabilities and General relativity seem to develop math models at the expense of little regard for causality. Then there are the many complex papers on how to determine causality after the models have made liberal use of probability and shifting parameters from one side to the other of equations with only the number relations of math as a justification. This is the reason for the question.
The FQXi site seems to be devoting more to causality, sometimes called correlation.

In this link shifted functions are defined as r*(x-o)/100 (where r is the original range)to keep the range between 100. But for optimizing the functions should I generate the values of X between [-100,100] or between [o-100,o+100]? If the function is shifted by o vector then the respective ranges should also change. Because if for 0<-100 or o>100, the global optimum won't fall in the range. And even if I generate the o values between [-100,100] then the function would be shifted in the range rather than being in the range where it is well defined.

Yes, you must shift all the conditions. All the problem has to be changed: The bounds, the conditions. Finally, you must come back the first problem: the first condition and the first bounds. To interpret the results, you need to return.

This is my very first encounter with functional equation of this kind, and methods of series solution and differential equations are of not much help. The solution to this problem, or at least the mathematical prerequisites to understand solution to this problem is asked.
This function is asymptotically zero at both +_ infinity, positive otherwise, and has a peak near zero.
If I am correct, then this is the frequency distribution of numbers fed to the sequence xn+1=a ln (xn2) as long as the sequence generated is chaotic and sufficiently large in number (value of a is usually limited to 0.2 to 1.3, Positive and negative signs of a are essentially immaterial except for the sequence is negated after first term) .The sequence is initiated or seeded with number roughly as the same order of magnitude of 1 in both positive and negative side, except for the values that eventually lead to zero or infinity in the sequence. The sequence is allowed to proceed, and frequency distribution of numbers in the sequence are noted, from which a continuous probability distribution may be numerically guessed but not analytically found. The expression to find out formula of the continuous probability distribution comes to me from the following reasoning
  • Suppose, the probability distribution is given by y=f(x). Now, if I consider a "dx" (infinitesimally) thin strip around x, then I come up with f(x) dx fraction of all points required to construct the probability distribution. When this fraction of all points are passed through yet another sequence of transformation through the recurrence xn+1 =a ln (xn)2 , the fraction of points involved must be unchanged. That is, when x is substituted with a ln x2 , the infinitesimal strip area, which changes to f( a ln x^2) d (a ln x^2), must be numerically equal to f(x) dx, thus the functional equation is postulated
  • I am not entirely sure about this reasoning, and experts are welcome to point out my fault of reasoning and show the correct equation , if I am mistaken.
Relevant answer
Answer
The operator f{*} is defined as follows
f{g(x)}=1/g(x)\ (the reciprocal of the derivative)
f{x}=1/1
f{x2}=1/2x
f{sinx}=1/cosx
etc,..
We find that this operator works as a solution for the given equation.
You can see
f(a ln x2)/f(x)= (1/2a(1/x))/(1)= x/2a.
You can also replace x with any other function, and the relationship works.
Here f is considered as an operator.

For a function, usually sign of second derivative (and if it is zero, even/odd index of higher order derivative whose numerical value is zero) is enough to detect whether the extreme point is maximum/minimum/saddle point, if first derivative is zero. For a functional (NOT A FUNCTION), Euler-Lagrange equation plays the role of first "derivative" of Functional. However, it the RHS of Euler-Lagrange equation is set to zero and the resultant differential equation is solved, then how to find whether this function (as solution to differential equation) corresponds to minimum, maximum or saddle "point" of functional?
Unfortunately, the nature of extremum of a functional is usually declared to be "beyond the scope" of most preliminary/introductory functional analysis resources (I have not checked all). How difficult is that mathematics and what are the prerequisites to understand the mathematics involved in finding the nature of functional extremum?
Please note my knowledge on variational calculus, integral equations and transformations as well as group theory and advanced differential geometry is rudimentary.
Relevant answer
Answer
Actually, the idea in the case of a functional is the same as in the ordinary calculus: you have to resort to the second variation of the functional, and then to study several conditions depending on the weak or strong character of the critical point (Jacobi condition for weak extrema, Weierstrass condition for strong ones). You can find a readable treatment in the classic book "Calculus of Variations", by Gelfand and Fomin (Dover's edition is very affordable), chapters 5 and 6.

I have calculated EVI2 using landsat 7 surface reflectance images and I am getting values above 1.25 (mathematical maximum for EVI2 based on the formula) in my study area (heavily vegetated). I get a range between 0.2 and 1.8. Many publications stipulate -1 to 1, especially based on MODIS data. I also did a check with Landsat 7 TOA images, and I get ranges from -1 to 1, as the publications say. Does this mean something is wrong with the Landsat 7 surface reflectance images, or should values above 1.25 still be okay?
Relevant answer
Answer
It is absolutely fine and fair to get values above 1.25 as you are using a surface reflectance imagery and sine you mentioned that the area is heavily vegetated, the values reflect the colour composite and type of strata so the number and the work is acceptable.

Mathematical programming is the best optimization tool with many years of strong theoretical background. Also, it is demonstrated that it can solve complex optimization problems on the scale of one million design variables, efficiently. Also, the methods are so reliable! Besides, there is mathematical proof for the existence of the solution and the globality of the optimum.
However, in some cases in which there are discontinuities in the objective function, there would be some problems due to non-differentiable problem. Some methods such as sub-gradients are proposed to solve such problems. However, I cannot find many papers in the state-of-the-art of engineering optimization of discontinuous optimization using mathematical programming. Engineers mostly use metaheuristics for such cases.
Can all problems with discontinuities be solved with mathematical programming? Is it easy to implement sub-gradients for large scale industrial problems? Do they work in non-convex problems?
A simple simple example of such a function is attached here.
Relevant answer
Answer
It may be useful to make a distinction between 'global' optimisation (where one is given an explicit, non-convex objective function) and 'black-box' optimisation (where the function is not given explicitly). The methods for them are very different.

Problem: 5 minutes of play are worth more than an hour of study
Knowing that: G = Game S = Gtudy 1 hour = 60 min
The mathematical formula that defines the statement is: 5 x G> 60 x S The quantitative ratio of the minutes expressed in the mathematical formula can be simplified: 60: 5 = 12, therefore the simplified mathematical formula is: G> 12 x S
So, 1 minute of play is worth more than 12 minutes of study Or it can be said that: game G is worth more than 12 times than study S.
Therefore, the quantitative value of physical objects (or of spatial and / or temporal quantities) must be calculated differently from the qualitative value of human life experiences.

In several discussions, I have often come across a question on the 'mathematical meaning of the various signal processing techniques' such as Fourier transform, short-term fourier transform, stockwell transform, wavelet transform, etc. - as to what is the real reason for choosing one technique over the other for certain applications.
Apparently, the ability of these techniques to overcome the shortcomings of each other in terms of time-frequency resolution, noise immunity, etc. is not the perfect answer.
I would like to know the opinion of experts in this field.
Relevant answer
Answer
Utkarsh Singh There is an esthetic reason in why a mathematical method is of interest in signal processing:
-a beautiful algorithm is well articulated, says what it does in few instructions, and does it in a stable and reliable manner
-this hints to the underlying algebra
With powerful and minimal computation, we go deep into algebra structures: group, rings, fields (see references on Evariste Galois as the inventor of "group" as we know it)
-Fourier transform is an interesting invention: it allows to decompose a signal into resonating modes (as for piano music: you produce a sound at frequency F, but also its harmonic NxF...). Naturally there is the aliasing question and the Nyquist theorem for reconstruction
There are many more time-frequency representations: Fourier, Laplace, discrete or continuous, cosine transform, wavelet transform, etc.
The interesting feature of discrete algorithms for those transforms is that you can implement a butterfly structure.
The key idea is to replace a very large number of multiplications (in brute force "non-esthetic" programming) by a smaller number of additions.
This idea worked for me for developing a codec system using underlying GF(n) properties.
See this patent:
The regularity in the processing and the efficiency of the representation go hand in hand.
Let me go back to a very basic mathematical method: the Gram-Schmidt decomposition: take a sequence of n vectors v(1),..., v(n), and the matrix of cross-products m(i,j)=<v((i),v(j)>. The Gram-Schmidt method diagonalises this matrix. It extracts eigenvalues, and eigen vectors. In frequency terms, it extracts modes (resonating modes present in the signal).
This algorithm highlights the efficiency side of the representation: it's projecting the signal onto something found "in itself", call it principal components if you want.
There are only two reasons for choosing a technique in engineering:
-(i) it addresses the problem completely
-(ii)it's economically implementable.
Both criteria are equally important and a good way to find these is to look for elegant, esthetic solutions (minimal and complete at the same time).
Does it help?

Question

In recent years, many new heuristic algorithms are proposed in the community. However, it seems that they are already following a similar concept and they have similar benefits and drawbacks. Also, for large scale problems, with higher computational cost (real-world problems), it would be inefficient to use an evolutionary algorithm. These algorithms present different designs in single runs. So they look to be unreliable. Besides, heuristics have no mathematical background.
I think that the hybridization of mathematical algorithms and heuristics will help to handle real-world problems. They may be effective in cases in which the analytical gradient is unavailable and the finite difference is the only way to take the gradients (the gradient information may contain noise due to simulation error). So we can benefit from gradient information, while having a global search in the design domain.
There are some hybrid papers in the state-of-the-art. However, some people think that hybridization is the loss of the benefits of both methods. What do you think? Can it be beneficial? Should we improve heuristics with mathematics?
Relevant answer
Answer
I am surprised that a known scholar with a long experience in the transportation domain maintains such a hard stance on heuristic search. Obviously, we live in a world where extreme opinions are those which are the most echoed. Truth is, assuming that all practical optimization problems can be solved to optimality (or with approximation guarantees) is essentially wishful thinking. Given this state of art, better integration of exact and heuristic algorithms can largely benefit the research community. At the risk of repeating myself, here are some important remarks to consider:
• CPLEX and Gurobi (the current state of the art solvers for mixed integer programming optimization) rely on an army of internal heuristics for cut selection, branching, diving, polishing, etc... Without these heuristic components, optimal solutions could not be found for many problems of interest. CPLEX has even recently made a new release permitting a stronger heuristic emphasis (https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datascience/blogs/xavier-nodet1/2020/11/23/better-solutions-earlier-with-cplex-201). MIP solvers also heavily depend on the availability of good (heuristic) initial solutions to perform well. For many problems, cut separation is also done with heuristics. In the vehicle routing domain, we have a saying: heuristics are the methods that find the solutions, exact methods are those that finally permit to confirm that the heuristics were right (sometimes many decades later, and only for relatively small problems with a few hundred nodes despite over 60 years of research on mathematical models)...
• The machine learning domain is quickly taking over many applications that were previously done with optimization. Among the most popular methods, deep learning applies a form of stochastic gradient descent and does not guarantee convergence to optimal parameters. Neural networks currently face the same scrutiny and issues as the heuristic community, but progress in this area has still brought many notable breakthroughs. Decision-tree construction and random forests are also largely based on greedy algorithms, same for K-means (local improvement method) and many other popular learning algorithms.
• Even parameter tuning by the way is heuristic... I'm sorry to say that, but most design choices, even in the scientific domain, are heuristic and only qualify as good options through experimentation.

This paper studies the proof of Collatz conjecture for some set of sequence of odd numbers with infinite number of elements. These set generalized to the set which contains all positive odd integers. This extension assumed to be the proof of the full conjecture, using the concept of mathematical induction.

The first 11 theorems in your article provide a limit family of numbers that obey the Collatz conjecture and the number of steps needed to reach 1.
Unfortunately, in theorem (12), you have assumed that Collatz conjecture is true!!
In fact, your assumptions of the existence of b1 , b2 , ....bk-1 where k is finite
is exactly the Collatz conjecture, and the rest is an elementary computation of the number of steps to reach 1.
Can you prove that k is finite?
Obviously, if one assumes k is finite, then he assumes that Collatz conjecture is true.
Anyway, you have determined a nice family of numbers that satisfy the Collatz conjecture.
I wish you good luck to show k is finite.

Physically, it does make sense that we have a near-shore case and on the boundary, there is no flow in the normal direction. How to mathematical explain it using the continuity equation in the case when there is a steady flow? The continuity equation suggests that $\partial h / \partial t + u. \partial h/ partial x = 0$. If we take steady flow then it is clear to me to get zero normal flux condition. But what if the first term is not zero? or do we say that at the boundary the flow is always steady?

If we are given that (x-2)(x-3)=0 and 0.0=0, then we can conclude that both x=2 and x=3 simultaneously. This is because x-2=0 and x-3=0, simultaneously, is consistent with 0.0=0. However, this leads to a contradiction, namely, x=2=3. So, generally we exclude this option while finding roots of an equation and consider that only one of the factors can be zero at a time i.e. all the roots are mutually exclusive. In other words, we consider 0.0 to be not equal to 0.
Now, if we are given that x=0 and asked to find out what x^2 is, then certainly we conclude that x^2=0. It is trivial to observe that this conclusion is made through the following process: x^2=x.x=0.0=0. That is, we need to consider 0.0=0 to make this simple conclusion.
Therefore, while in the first case we have to consider 0.0 not equal to 0 to avoid contradiction, in the second case we have to consider 0.0=0 to reach the conclusion. So, the question arises whether 0.0 is equal to 0 or not. As far as I know, mathematical truths are considered to be universal. However, in the present discussion it appears to me that whether 0.0 is 0 or not, is used as par requirement. Is that legitimate in mathematics?

@Pedro, I don't understand why the word or is emphasised .

Any decision-making problem when precisely formulated within the framework of mathematics is posed as an optimization problem. There are so many ways, in fact, I think infinitely many ways one can partition the set of all possible optimization problems into classes of problems.
1. I often hear people label meta-heuristic and heuristic algorithms as general algorithms (I understand what they mean) but I'm thinking about some things, can we apply these algorithms to any arbitrary optimization problems from any class or more precisely can we adjust/re-model any optimization problem in a way that permits us to attack those problems by the algorithms in question?
2. Then I thought well if we assumed that the answer to 1 is yes then by extending the argument I think also we can re-formulate any given problem to be attacked by any algorithm we desire (of-course with a cost) then it is just a useless tautology.

Let's assume that there is a given line or a given arbitrary function defined on a z=0 plane. Now I twist the plane into a non-linear 3D surface that can be represented by any given continuous and differentiable equations. How could I represent this line or function in analytical equations now.
You could think this like "a straight line on a waving flag".
Much appreciated if you have any idea or suggested publications.
Thanks.

NO. No one on Earth can claim to "own the truth" -- not even the natural sciences. And mathematics has no anchor on Nature.
With physics, the elusive truth becomes the object itself, which physics trusts using the scientific method, as fairly as humanly possible and as objectively (friend and foe) as possible.
With mathematics, on the other hand, one must trust using only logic, and the most amazing thing has been how much the Nature as seen by physics (the Wirklichkeit) follows the logic as seen by mathematics (without necessarily using Wirklichkeit) -- and vice-versa. This implies that something is true in Wirklichkeit iff (if and only if) it is logical.
Also, any true rebuffing of a "fake controversy" (i.e., fake because it was created by the reader willingly or not, and not in the data itself) risks coming across as sharply negative. Thus, rebuffing of truth-deniers leads to ...affirming truth-deniers. The semantic principle is: before facing the night, one should not counter the darkness but create light. When faced with a "stone thrown by an enemy" one should see it as a construction stone offered by a colleague.
But everyone helps. The noise defines the signal. The signal is what the noise is not. To further put the question in perspective, in terms of fault-tolerant design and CS, consensus (aka,"Byzantine agreement") is a design protocol to bring processors to agreement on a bit despite a fraction of bad processors behaving to disrupt the outcome. The disruption is modeled as noise and can come from any source --- attackers or faults, even hardware faults.
Arguing, in turn, would risk creating a fat target for bad-faith or for just misleading references, exaggerations, and pseudo-works. As we see rampant on RG, even on porous publications cited as if they were valid.
Finally, arguing may bring in the ego, which is not rational and may tend to strengthen the position of a truth-denier. Following Pascal, people tend to be convinced better by their own-found arguments, from the angle that they see (and there are many angles to every question). Pascal thought that the best way to defeat the erroneous views of others was not by facing it but by slipping in through the backdoor of their beliefs. And trust is higher as self-trust -- everyone tends to trust themselves better and faster, than to trust someone else.
What is your qualified opinion? This question considered various options and offers a NO as the best answer. Here, to be clear, "truth-denial" is to be understood as one's own "truth" -- which can be another's "falsity", or not. An impasse is created, how to best solve it?

"Only dead fish swim with the current implies that those who swim against the current are those who wish to invoke change; who want to control, manipulate, and improve their environment. People who swim upstream make things happen. They are the movers and shakers; the innovators and inventors; the disruptors of the world. There is nothing new downstream; only that which is old and boring, ancient history, the past, the been there and done that... the tried and true. One must swim upstream to find and explore new territory; learn new stuff, have new experiences. To create; fly; soar."
But those who try, find it hard to not "go with the flow." The solution maybe to swim like a salmon, making the least waves. With the same principle, it works on a swimming pool, trying to improve personal "best times" -- and tells one why a deeper pool is faster.

Mathematical modeling is the process of a problem solving by the mathematical expression of real life event or a problem. This process enables learners to relate mathematics to real life and to learn it more meaningfully and permanently.
Realistic Mathematics Education – RME – is a domain-specific instruction theory for mathematics, which has been developed in the Netherlands. Characteristic of RME is that rich, “realistic” situations are given a prominent position in the learning process.

Dear Friends,
Kindly allow me to ask you a very basic important question. What is the basic difference between (i) scientific disciplines (e.g. physics, chemistry, botany or zoology etc.) and (ii) disciplines for branches of mathematics (e.g. caliculus, trigonometry, algebra and geometry etc.)?
I feel, that objective knowledge of basic or primary difference between science and math is useful to impart perfect and objective knowledge for science, and math (and their role in technological inventions & expansion)?
Let me give my answer to start this debate:
Each branch of Mathematics invents and uses complementary, harmonious and/or interdepend set of valid axioms as core first-principles in foundation for evolving and/or expanding internally consistent paradigm for each of its branches (e.g. calculous, algebra, or geometry etc.). If the foundation comprises of few inharmonious or invalid axioms in any branch, such invalid axioms create internal inconsistences in the discipline (i.e. branch of math). Internal consistency can be restored by fine tuning of inharmonious axioms or by inventing new valid axioms for replacing invalid axioms.
Each of the Scientific disciplines must discover new falsifiable basic facts and prove the new falsifiable scientific facts and use such proven scientific facts as first-principles in its foundation, where a scientific fact implies a falsifiable discovery that cannot be falsified by vigorous efforts to disprove the fact. We know what happened when one of the first principles (i.e. the Earth is static at the centre) was flawed.
Example for basic proven scientific facts include, the Sun is at the centre, Newton’s 3 laws or motion, there exists a force of attraction between any two bodies having mass, the force of attraction decreases if the distance between the bodies increase, and increasing the mass of the bodies increases the force of attraction. Notices that I intentionally didn’t mention directly and/or indirectly proportional.
This kind of first principles provide foundation for expanding the BoK (Body of Knowledge) for each of the disciplines. The purpose of research in any discipline is adding more and more new first-principles and also adding more and more theoretical knowledge (by relying on the first-principles) such as new theories, concepts, methods and other facts for expanding the BoK for the prevailing paradigm of the discipline.
I want to find answer to this question, because software researchers insist that computer science is a branch of mathematics, so they have been insisting that it is okay to blatantly violating scientific principles for acquiring scientific knowledge (i.e. knowledge that falls under the realm of science) that is essential for addressing technological problems for software such as software crisis and human like computer intelligence.
If researchers of computer science insist that it is a branch of mathematics, I wanted to propose a compromise: The nature and properties of components for software and anatomy of CBE (Component-based engineering) for software were defined as Axioms. Since the axioms are invalid, it resulted in internally inconsistent paradigm for software engineering. I invented new set of valid axioms by gaining valid scientific knowledge about components and CBE without violating scientific principles.
Even maths requires finding, testing, and replacing invalid Axioms. I hope this compromise satisfy computer science scientists, who insist that software is a branch of maths? It appears that software or computer science is a strange new kind of hybrid between science and maths, which I want to understand more (e.g. may be useful for solving other problems such as human-like artificial intelligence).

In fact, it is the fundamental defects in the work of “quantitative cognition to infinite things” that have been troubling people for thousands of years. But I am going on a different way from many people.
1, I analysis and study the defects in existing classical infinite theory system disclosed by the suspended "infinite paradox symptom clusters" in analysis and set theory from different perspectives with different conclusion: to abandon the unscientific (mistaken) "potential infinite and actual infinite" concepts in existing classical infinite theory system and discover the new concepts of "abstract infinite and the carriers of abstract infinite", especially to replace the unscientific (mistaken) "actual infinite" concept in existing classical infinite theory by the new concept of “carriers of abstract infinite" and develop a new infinite theory system with “mathematical carriers of abstract infinite and their related quantitative cognizing operation theory system ". From now on, human beings are no longer entangled in "potential infinite -- actual infinite", but can spare no effort to develop "infinite carrier theory", and develop comprehensive and scientific cognition of various contents related to "mathematical carrier of abstract infinite concept".
2, Abstract concept - abstract concept carrier theory, new infinite theory system, carrier theory, infinite mathematical carrier gene, infinite mathematical carrier scale,...The development of basic theory determines the construction of "quantum mathematics" based on the new infinite theory system.
3, I have up loaded 《On the Quantitative Cognitions to “Infinite Things” (IX) ------- "The Infinite Carrier Gene”, "The Infinite Carrier Measure" And "Quantum Mathematics”》2 days ago onto RG introducing " Quantum Mathematics". My work is not fixing here and there for those tiny defects (such as the CH theory above) but carrying out quantitative cognitions to all kinds of infinite mathematical things with "quantum mathematics" basing on new infinite theory system.
According to my studies (have been presented in some of my papers), Harmonic Series is a vivid modern example of Zeno's Paradox. It is really an important case in the researches of infinite related paradoxes syndrome in present set theory and analysis basing on unscientific classical infinite theory system.
All the existing (suspending) infinite related paradoxes in present set theory and analysis are typical logical contradictions.
The revolution in the foundation of infinite theory system determines the construction of "Quantum Mathematics" based on the new contents discovered in new infinite theory system: infinite mathematical carrier, infinite mathematical carrier gene, infinite mathematical carrier measure,... in new infinite carrier theory. So, the "Quantum Mathematics" mentioned in my paper is different from Quantum Logic and Quantum Algebras;
According to my studies (have been presented in some of my papers), “Non-Standard Analysis and Transfinite numbers” is all the infinite related things in unscientific classical infinite theory system based on the trouble making "potential infinite and actual infinite" --------- Non-Standard Analysis is equivalence with Standard Analysis while Transfinite is an odd idea of “more infinite, more more infinite, more more more infinite, more more more more infinite,…”).

Relevant answer
Answer
It is not very difficult, but some algebra needs to be involved.
The workflow is the following:
1. Knowing relative humidity at T=T0 (as an input), calculate the partial pressure of vapor at this temperature.
2. Calculate water vapor concentration rho_0 using the ideal gas equation.
3. Calculate saturated vapor pressure at T=T1 from tables or the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
4. Calculate corresponding saturated vapor density rho_1 at T=T1 using the ideal gas equation.
5. If rho_1 < rho_0, there will be no condensation, otherwise the mass of water condensed in volume V will be V(rho_1 -rho_0).

A question related to our cultural indebtedness to our mathematical forbears.
Relevant answer
Answer
Interesting question. However, the foundations that allowed calculus to evolve started long before Newton and Leibniz. The foundation is not calculus but the concept of the limit. Archimedes (287-212 BC) was probably the first to recognize what became the concept of the limit in is estimation pi and the area of the circle by taking inscribed and circumscribed polygons bounding the circle and using the simple fact that one approaches pi from below while the other from above. Of each sequence defines a Cauchy sequence - concept unknown at that time and the completion of the reals (also unknown at that time) show the limit of each sequence is the same and equal a the number pi. In reality the concept of infinitesimal - goes back to Archimedes although the formal concept of "infinity" was not accepted until long afterwards.
Roll backwards to the Greeks when faced with the proposition of an infinite number of prime number, was a problem as they believed the universe was finite. Infinity was not something the Greeks wanted to accept and Aristotle (385-348 BC). But Archimedes had just shown that infinity and infinitesimals had a role in mathematics - in fact a central role. It was not to the 1600's that mathematicians attack the problem of infinity to try to understand what it mean as they developed the concept of numbers that are used today.
As we better understood our real number system, the concept of point set or general topology was defined to abstract and better understand the structure. In general topology concepts like nets (generalizations of sequences required to define integrals for example), convergence, close to, in a neighborhood and limits are all defined through the concept of open sets which are used to define a topology on a set which now allows for the definition and study of the concept of limits and continuity and handle infinity. While the formulations of general topology came along after the "birth of the calculus" and known as Analysis Situs a term coined by Henri Poincaré through the work of Poincaré , Euler, Cantor, Lefschetz, Courant, Hilbert, etc., a firm foundation was laid not only to the real number system, but to limits, continuity all the foundations of what we now know as 'calculus."
Topology is so important to the foundations of calculus and the concept of a limit that in his classic text, "General Topology," John Kelley writes in the first paragraph of the preface he writes, "...I have, with difficulty, been prevented by my friends from labeling it: What Every Young Analyst Should Know." No truer words have been spoken or written as the foundations of topology has allowed the concept of calculus to be expanded far beyond its original intent.

Quantum computing is the field that focuses on quantum computation/information processing, the mathematical and physical theory for which as well as the engineering required to realize different circuits and algorithms into hardware performance, as well as other contingent issues such as the whole “compute chain” (from software engineering to quantum machine code and then further on to the physical architecture) and device/hardware issues such as thermal, electrooptical and nanoengineering.
My question is how quantum computing is related to artificial intelligence?
Relevant answer
Answer
Quantum computing (QC) is the enabling technology for efficiently processing huge quantities of (quantum) information, in many cases outperforming "classical" computing (i.e. binary logic based). It provide you the "muscles" for data crunching, provided you feed it with quantum-coded information (qubits) and you get probabilistic results (with high likelihood if well designed).
Artificial Intelligence (and Machine Learning more specifically) is a discipline focused in performing data analysis with the objective of simulating human reasoning for achieving a certain goal. It can then definitively take advantages by a super fast computing capability provided by QC, both for speeding up "classical" algorithms or for running QC native ones, which are expected to open the door to a next level of AI capabilities beyond our current imagination.
Just be patient for few more years and wait for a working universal QC becoming available (at competitive price).

Hello all,
I am looking for an method / algorithm/ or logic which can help to figure out numerically whether the function is differentiable at a given point.
To give a more clear perspective, let's say while solving a fluid flow problem using CFD, I obtain some scalar field along some line with graph similar to y = |x|, ( assume x axis to be the line along which scalar field is drawn and origin is grid point, say P)
So I know that at grid point P, the function is not differentiable. But how can I check it using numeric. I thought of using directional derivative but couldn't get along which direction to compare ( the line given in example is just for explaining).
Ideally when surrounded by 8 grid points , i may be differentiable along certain direction and may not be along other. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
The answer to a question about the numerical algorithms for resolving the issue of differentiability of a function is typically provided by the textbooks on experimental mathematics.
I recommend in particular: Chapter 5: “Exploring Strange Functions on the Computer” in the book: “Experimental Mathematic in Action”.
For the review please see
You can also get a copy of the text in a form of a preprint from
Judging by the quote placed in the beginning of Chapter 5, the issue of investigation of the “strange functions” was equally challenging i 1850s as it is 170 years later:
“It appears to me that the Metaphysics of Weierstrass’s function
still hides many riddles and I cannot help thinking that enter-
ing deeper into the matter will finally lead us to a limit of our
intellect, similar to the bound drawn by the concepts of force
and matter in Mechanics. These functions seem to me, to say
it briefly, to impose separations, not, like the rational numbers”
(Paul du Bois-Reymond, [129], 1875)
The situation described in your question is even more complicated because the function is represented only by a few values on a rectangular grid and it is additionally assumed that the function is not differentiable at a certain point. In this situation I can suggest to use the techniques employed in the theory of generalized functions (distributions).
For a very practical example you can consult a blog: “How to differentiate a non-differentiable function”:
In order to answer your question completely I would like to know what is the equation, boundary conditions and the numerical scheme used to obtain a set of the grid point values mentioned in the question.

Electromagnetic (EM) waves have invoked a lot of interest among scientists and engineers over centuries. And this interest seems to be on the rise, in view of new applications of EM waves being explored and developed, particularly at newer and higher frequencies.
Propagation characteristics of EM wave depend on its frequency (or wavelength), to a large extent. And when an EM wave interacts with an object/material, it undergoes reflection, refraction, scattering, attenuation, diffraction, and/or absorption. Each of these effects are dependent on the frequency of the EM wave(s) because the size of wavelength (relative to the object/material) assumes great significance.
And due to the huge range of frequencies of EM waves employed in various applications these days, they undergo a variety of different effects. This confuses the scientific community sometimes as it is often unclear as to which effect is more dominant at what frequency.
Thus a single mathematical formula (or a small set of formulae) would/could be of great help if different effects (as listed above) and their relative weights can be known at different frequencies. This may be of great boon to young scientists and engineers as it would simplify things particularly for those who are mathematically minded.

Not all these phenomena can be summarized in the permittivity of the material. For a start there is the permeability, which is as basic as the permittivity, then whole areas that these two do not cover at all, such as fluorescence, ionisation, photo-electricity, Rayleigh and Raman scattering, interaction with (other) fundamental particles, interaction with gravity/space-time, and more.

By dynamical systems, I mean systems that can be modeled by ODEs.
For linear ODEs, we can investigate the stability by eigenvalues, and for nonlinear systems as well as linear systems we can use the Lyapunov stability theory.
I want to know is there any other method to investigate the stability of dynamical systems?
Relevant answer
Answer
An alternative method of demonstrating stability is given by Vasile Mihai POPOV, a great scientist of Romanian origin, who settled in the USA.
The theory of hyperstability (it has been renamed the theory of stability for positive systems) belongs exclusively to him ... (1965).
See Yakubovic-Kalman-Popov theorem, Popov-Belevitch-Hautus criterion, etc.
If the Liapunov (1892) method involves "guessing the optimal construction" of the Liapunov function to obtain a domain close to the maximum stability domain, Popov's stability criterion provides the maximum stability domain for nonlinearity parameters in the system (see Hurwitz , Aizerman hypothesis, etc.).

Answer
Are you trying to play chess in 3D?
Your idea is a good one, but your assumptions are not.
You need to give a clear definition of paths, so I suggest for you to start in one 3D box, it includes 8 points. I prefer to give each point the following notation
P(i, j, k), so the locations of the 8 points are at
(0,0,0) (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1), (1,1,0), (1,0,1),(0,1,1) and (1,1,1).
Study this cube carefully, define each Delanoy edge (axioms of the path), and then add another box, which means 12 points, etc.
If you find the closed formula that allows you to calculate all possible paths from the starting point at the origin to the farthest point at the upper corner of the rectangular box, then you are on the right track.
I wish you good luck.

I am currently studying the effect of atrophy of a muscle on the clinical outcome of joint injury. There is actually another muscle that was previously well established to have an effect on clinical outcome, and both these 2 muscles are closely related. The aim of the study was to shed some light on the previously ignored muscle to see if there is anything that can be done to help improve clinical outcomes in that aspect.
While doing univariate analysis, i wasnt sure if i should include the previously established muscle as well and when i included it into the multi-linear regression model, the initially significant primary variable became insignificant. I was thinking if this could be due to co-linearity but the VIF value was not high enough to show significant co-linearity in the two variables. (GVIF ^(1/(2*Df))=1.359987)
My question is, should these 2 variables be included in the same model if they are both highly correlated (clinically and mathematically) but was not determined to have co-linearity, or should these 2 variables be evaluated separately?

Answer
Bryan Soh, your question is a good one. I think it's necessary to be familiar with the nature of your variables (which it seems you are). Unfortunately, I'm not, but might I suggest that you conduct your analyses both ways, look at the results, then think carefully about which results are likely to be most valid.
I also think it is a good idea to present both sets of results if that's permissible. As you are obviously aware, the world of research isn't black and white, and making other researchers, and consumers of research, aware of that could well be helpful. About 20 years ago, I read an article in a top psychological journal in which the author analysed her data in more than one way (from memory, it was more than only two ways), and she discussed the ins and outs intelligently and with insight. It was, for me, much more enlightening that the run-of-the-mill articles that seem to report clean-cut results but leave the reader wondering how much cleaning up and manipulation, and obscuring, occurred to obtain those results.
Every good wish as you plough on!

Charles Sanders Peirce regarded mathematics as “the only one of the sciences which does not concern itself to inquire what the actual facts are, but studies hypotheses exclusively” (RLT, 114). Since, by contrast, “[w]e must begin with all the prejudices which we actually have when we enter upon the study of philosophy” (CP 5.265), the presuppositionless status of mathematics makes it more primitive than anything found in philosophy. Given that phenomenology falls under philosophy (CP 1.280), we get the result that mathematics is prior to phenomenology.
Yet, Peirce also held that “every deductive inference is performed, and can only be performed, by imagining an instance in which the premises are true and observing by contemplation of the image that the conclusion is true” (NEM III/2, 968).
We thus have two conflicting arguments:
On the one hand, one could argue that mathematics is prior to phenomenology because mathematics makes even less presuppositions than phenomenology.
On the other hand, one could argue that phenomenology is prior to mathematics because whatever happens during mathematical inquiry must perforce appear before (some)one.
Peirce's pronouncements notwithstanding, it is not obvious to me why the first argument should trump the second. In fact, I find considerations about the inevitability of appearing in mathematics to be decisive.
What do you think?

I am currently reading Edmund Husserls "Ding und Raum". The book is a complete lecture series about how spatiality and things are constituted. It is heavily descriptive. Husserl used for his analysis the most basic operations I can imagine (e.g. the operation of identity and the operation of distiction) . The level of primitivness seems to me the like of mathematics.
But first we have to clearify, what we want to compare? I see 2 different understandings here: (1) A discipline can be prior to another in regards to its methodological approach. Here Husserl demonstrates that phenomenology operates on an equal level of primitivness. (2) On the other hand a discipline can be seen prior in regards to the nature of its epistemical interests and outcomes. Philosophy loves to ask "why is stuff the way it is?" This kind of questioning and the corresponding anwers can be seen as fundamental.
I think Marc's second conflicting argument entails the second understanding as a hidden component. To say "... phenomenology is prior to mathematics because whatever happens during mathematical inquiry must perforce appear before (some)one." is in fact a consequence of phenomenological insights. But, we have to be careful here: The validity of this argument derives from what it wants to point out.
II think Louis Brassard is right. Mathematics reached a point of high abstraction long before any human started to reflect about whats going on in our mind and why all this stuff is even possible. Now Phenomenology reinvents the wheel again. But this time with an interest into the nature and the origin of transcendental principiles.
So yes. Mathematics is prior to philosophy. This is true only because philosophy is more than just phenomenology. But in some cases philosophy can be as "prior" as mathematics.

why we plot absorbance vs wavelength although there is no direct formula between them and I also want to know that their is any direct or indirect relation between molar extinction coefficient and wavelength. I am trying to generate a theoretical plot between absorbance vs wavelength of single layer MoS2 by using python program,so I need mathematical formula for calculation .
Relevant answer
Very interesting discussion and proposals to solve for calculating the absorbance of a single layer of MoS2 .
The absorbance is important to optically characterize the materials. The absorbance is the absorbed fraction of the incident light with a specific wavelength on a material with a given thickness. It is required for optical filters and for photodetectors and solar cells.
The dependence on the incident light wave length stems from the energy band structure of the material such that it is dependent on the probability of transferring of an electron from the valence band to the conduction band by the incident photons. Specifically it depends on the absorption coefficient as a function of the wavelength.
The key point for the solution is to calculate the energy band structure of the two dimensional material and from it you can get the absorption coefficient as a function of lambda. Then you can calculate the absorbance. As you have here a single layer the absorption coefficient will be equal to the absorbance.

The literature on public (and some school students') understanding of science and mathematics shows many have problems decoding relatively simple information, concepts and data such as from graphs. In the UK, and many other countries, the public have been exposed to unprecedented amounts of information, ideas, scientific findings, formulae, graphs and so on that purport to provide understanding of the global COVID-19 pandemic, so as to presumably advise on risk and guide personal decisions and influence behaviour. But what are the implications of this massive shift in communication for public understanding in general and for future science and mathematics education in schools?

Answer
Thank you for sharing your paper Martin. I found it insightful - particularly your interpretation of graphs and your case for building 'critical STEM literacy'. From recent exploration, I notice that these graphs with data from the pandemic, present interesting outliers and multiple trend-lines which are ignored or cherry-picked in the final interpretation. Inferential stats while allowing decisive conclusions lead us to overlook these interesting data points. Critical graphicacy practices if nurtured from school will create this informed public, who will then find it difficult to simply accept the text interpretation, isn't it?

Hello fellow scientists,
I wish to determine the Dissociation Constant (KD) of a DNA polymerase binding dsDNA. I won't disclose what the DNA polymerase is because it is unpublished work. I have done some binding assays in Agarose gels, but due to the poor sensitivity of the available dyes I had to visualize the relative binding stoichiometrically, and I could not simply just set the protein or DNA concentration around the expected KD.
Previous work in our lab has determined a KD = 20 nm for our DNA polymerase binding a 33mer locked double stranded DNA hairpin.The purpose of using something so complicated was for kinetics assays.
However, I am using a 13-mer dsDNA construct because my goal is to crystallize the DNA complex and a 33-mer is just way too large! My supervisor has advised that I don't believe that my KD is actually 20 nM for my small dsDNA construct.
I am interested in using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry mainly to calculate the KD of my protein to binding this 13mer dsDNA construct. I would titrate my dsDNA into a fixed concentration of protein. I could guess that the KD is 20 nM, but I actually don't know for sure.
I have heard that when you determine the KD you have to have some estimate of the KD and then scan ligand concentrations above and below the KD, measure the response to get a curve of response vs ligand concentration and the KD is mathematically fit or basically it is just the inflection point of the binding curve.
However that advice doesn't tell me if the KD is say 20 nM, what should fixed concentration of my protein be? (I have appreciable amounts of 100 µM protein because I am a crystallographer so excessive protein isn't an issue.). What is the max and min range that I should scan the ligand concentrations? What if the KD is way worse than we predicted and it is actually 1 µM? What fixed concentration of protein should I use and what min and max concentrations of ligand should I use?
Is there a way that I can measure the KD with a certain fixed concentration of protein, and a huge range of ligand concentrations regardless of if the KD is 20 nM or 1 µM? Is that possible?
Relevant answer
Answer
  • For statistically valid results and hyperbolic binding curves, the final ligand concentration should cover the range of 0.1 to at least 5, better 10 times Kd (if solubility permits), you need at least 12 ligand concentrations, which should be equal spaced (doi:10.1006/jtbi.1996.0023).
  • For method with reasonable sensitivity, the constant concentration of the macromolecule should be around Kd for best precision. For insensitive detection methods like ITC, you may need a higher macromolecule concentration for a well-detected signal.
  • If your binding curve is not hyperbolic, you'll need a wider ligand concentration range, in that case it may be worthwhile to space the data points logarithmically (1.0, 1.6, 2.5, 4.0, 6.3, 10, 16,...). From these guidelines it follows that you need to do an initial search study for rough determination of Kd. "Rough" means the order of magnitude.
  • Btw, the use of linearisation (say, Lineweaver-Burk or Scatchard plots) for the determination of Kd is outdated, although these methods still have use for data presentation. Use non-linear regression for determination instead, the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm (doi:10.1093/comjnl/7.4.308) is more stable than Marquardt-Levenberg (doi: 10.1137/0111030), but requires bootstrapping for determination of error margins.
  • You may also wish to think about the detection method you use, ITC requires relatively large amounts of both macromolecule and ligand. Perhaps, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) would be a better choice. After all, you'll need lots of material for crystallisation later ;-)

I have a query regarding data transformation if anyone can provide any guidance please?
I was wondering if, generally, it is possible to transform a variable's raw data twice, using 2 different methods, for the purpose of 2 different tests? I will provide you with a little background to my study first. I have a variable for 'Adverse Childhood Experiences' containing 1 score per participant. N = 113; however, 65 of these are 0 values and 3 are missing data - which I believe is disrupting my data considerably. I understand that it is not advised to simply remove the cases that read 0 just because there are many (however, if you recommend otherwise please let me know if so and why).
Useful to note here is that this variable has a skewness of 1.943, and because of this, I have made the decision to transform it.  
I am carrying out a path analysis with 1 IV, one DV and 2 mediators. In the first instance I am carrying out a t-test (IV - gender, DV - ACE score) and then in the second instance I am carrying out a linear regression (IV age, DV - ACE score), to understand whether age and gender need to be included in my path analysis as covariates. In order to meet the assumptions of the t-test (namely, normal distribution across both levels of the IV: male and female) I have transformed the raw ACE data this using Tukey's formula, which brought the skewness to < 1 for each IV level - great. But then when I go to carry out the linear regression, and aim to meet the assumption of approx. normal distribution of residuals, the assumption is not met on the Tukey transformed ACE data. I have carried out a number of other transformations on the raw ACE data and the only one where the residuals are normally distributed for the regression is through a Log10 transformation. 
My question is this: am I able to carry out the t-test with the Tukey transformed variable data, and then the linear regression with the Log10 transformed data? Or is it the case that I need to use the same transformed data for each stage of the analysis (ie. both Tukey or both Log10 for t-test and linear regression and then the same onward path analyses?) 
If it is the case that I will need to use the Log10 ACE data to go back and carry out the gender t-test, it is useful to note here that I have done this already and when inspecting the Log10 transformed ACE data across the gender variable descriptives table the results come out very strange - for example, N for males goes down from 15 to 6, and N for females goes down from 115 to 59, and there are outliers, where there were none in the Tukey transformed data descriptives, so it is confusing me a little. 
Any guidance welcome!
Thank you

I assume your data are count values (i.e., the number of adverse childhood experiences). If so, then use a count model (negative binomial is usually a good choice). Transfroming your data is not required at all. If excess zeros are a problem, consider a zero-inflated negative binomial model.

Hi all,
I am dealing with data with sevaral features and many of them are highly correlated with each other as well as with dependent variable.
In my research on this topics, I found that multicolinearity is harmful for regression problem and may not end up with good model. I got some suggestion that if the features are highly correlated then we have to remove them using VIF criterion.
But, logically when I think of removing correlated features from my analysis how can expect better model as I am not considering all the available information.
Is there any logical explaination or mathematical explaination is available for the above question?
Also, I am thinking that each features are somehow related to any of the other (May be nonlinearly) in that case, do we have problem of multicolinearity ?
Relevant answer
Answer
The "mathematicaL" explanation is to examine the formula for the partial regression coefficient. It contains the covariance between the two independent variables, and if this is quite high, it will dominate the estimation of the coefficient. At the most extreme case, the two independent variables are identical, so neither one can make a separate contribution.
In my opinion, the best approach is to choose the most theoretically relevant variable from each set of highly correlated variables and use that one. This may well not cost you as much as you might think, because once you enter one of the variables, adding any of the other variables will amount to putting "the same thing" into the equation, so you R-sq is unlikely to increase.

If anyone could please point me to a good theorical reference or literature examples, I will be very thankful
Stay all safe
Relevant answer
Answer
The simplest way is to pick a specific time point as the point at which to calculate % inhibition. This is purely phenomenological. No theory.
If you have an enzyme reaction that shows a time lag before reaching maximal rate, you should investigate the reason for it. Maybe the enzyme autoactivates in the presence of its substrate, like an autophosphorylating kinase, or the substrate may slowly displace a competitive inhibitor. You may be able to preactivate the enzyme so as to get Michaelis-Menten behavior.
Time lags can also occur in coupled enzyme reactions if the concentration of the 2nd enzyme in the sequence is not high enough.
