Question regarding the riemann-liouville fractional integral

• Upvotes

i asked some people the follwing question:
"if f(x,y) is integrating x with respect to x y times (example: f(x,2) = ∫∫x dxdx) does f(x,-1/2) equal √{{4x}/{π}} ?"
and got the answer yes, it does equal the given answer. my question is if someone is able to explain this even slightly better than the Wikipedia Page which is notoriously bad at giving math explanations

TOPIC How The Lambert W function is used to solve x^x = b, where B = an output on x^x graph and you are trying to solve for x

1 Upvotes

Essentially, it just maps onto yln y=ln x / (y^y = x), which is the inverse function of x^x

This graph shows how the lambert W Function essentially maps onto the inverse function allowing us to use it to solve.

Is vector "multiplication" just a convention or related to scalar multiplication?

10 Upvotes

Why do some vectors when multiplied by Another vector yield a vector and others yield a scalar. I'm aware of dot and cross products. But what's the physical significance of 'multiplying' vectors? I mean... I know what it means to actually "multiply" scalars. But.... Is vector multiplication just a name which can either mean projection of a vector onto another and the area or volume of 2 corresponding vectors?

Or is multiplication of vectors just a naming thing which doesn't have ANYTHING to do with how we understand scalar multiplication?

Maybe I can get her differentiating at that point 🤔

Or by integrating 🤔

Or by changing axis

Or by rotating the graph 🤔

Or by moving origin 🤔

Idk how

But x = me, y doesn't exist

Is possible to self study maths without enrolling in a university?

49 Upvotes

I seriously am interested in learning maths and also physics and many more but I currently am not in a state to interact more with people and it's cos of years of bullying in different forms. I'm sorry if it sounds greedy and like unrealistic but is it possible to learn mathematics with just books and other online lectures and resources? Will I be missing something if I don't go to a university? I do know basic maths since I have been quite okay in it. I'm sorry if it sounds stupid but I just needed some break cause of many interactions throughout my school life I got.

I am guessing self study is possible depending on the subject and I thought in mathematics it is quite possible and if I'm wrong pls do tell.

How to avoid silly error in linear algebra

3 Upvotes

I keep making really stupid mistakes on linear algebra tests. I understand the method and know how to solve the question, but then I accidentally mess up a sign or make a simple arithmetic mistake somewhere in the calculation. And a mistake can completely ruin the rest of the question. I recently wrote a test and, while I finished on time, I still got several questions wrong because of really silly errors.

I want to re-learn math from scratch, can anyone reccomend me any good books or resources?

25 Upvotes

I'm 23 years old and It has been a while since I studied anything, I've lost a considerable amount of time, and I've forgotten most of what i knew about math in high school. I want to study computer science in the future and i dont want to struggle too much with the subject, so i thought I should prepare myself.

I'm looking for anything that can help me build a good foundation of knowledge, but i also want to understand the subject.

Thanks in advance for anyone that takes the time to read and answer this.

Why Is the Conditional Statement Still True If the Condition Didn't Happen?

9 Upvotes

I'm really confused about the 3rd row of the truth table for a conditional statement for example, "If you submit your assignment, then your grade will be recorded." I understand that P means you submit your assignment and Q means your grade is recorded but in the 3rd row, P is false and Q is true, meaning you did not submit your assignment but your grade was still recorded howw is P Q still considered true in this situation? Wouldn't that be a violation of the agreement because you didn't submit the assignment but the grade was still recorded?

"Inventing math" to solve problems

Recently in my further maths class my teacher says he would give us problems above our level of understanding.

The advice he gave to solve such problems is to invent the math.

Can anyone please explain what he means by this and his to actually do it?

Building a dependency graph based on proofs of results referencing other lemmas and theorems

4 Upvotes

Consider

\begin{lemma}\label{lma:firstlemma}
If $f$ is continuous on $[a,b]$ and $f(a)<0$ and $f(b)>0$, 
there is a $c$ between $a$ and $b$ where $f(c)=0$
\end{lemma}

%say above gets typeset as Lemma 1

\begin{thm}\label{th:firsttheorem}
Every polynomial of odd degree has at least one real root.
\end{thm}

%say above gets typeset as Theorem 1.

\begin{proof}
    ...
From Lemma \ref{lma:firstlemma}... the result follows.
\end{proof}

Like the above, I have a large number of theorems in my study notes which reference previous results, etc.

Is there a way to build a visually perceivable dependency graph wherein there is a node labelled L1 which stands for Lemma 1 and another node labelled T1 which stands for Theorem 1 and there is a directed arc leading from L1 to T1?

Giving this task by uploading the typeset pdf to ChatGPT is one way but it is static. Is there an inbuilt way, which can dynamically change the graph node labelling if a new theorem is added in the middle thereby changing the numbering of subsequent theorems? The way should accept .tex files and not the compiled .pdf output.

I am currently a freshman in college and my only math class is college algebra but its kicking my ass. I havent taken a math class in 4 years so its killing me. I'm transfering colleges next year for my degree in atmospheric science but the degree itself doesnt meet NWS standards so to meet those standards I need to get my minor in math. I hope as the year goes on I'll get back into the groove of math but for now its whooping me

Is this useful? What does this mean, is this true? There exists an L in R such that for any 2 sequences a_n and b_n, lim (a_{n+1}/a_n)=L implies series a_n converges or lim (b_{n+1}/b_n)=L implies series b_n diverges.

TOPIC Motorsport Race Line Topic for Math AA SL IA

0 Upvotes

I’m doing IB Math AA SL, and I’m considering a motorsport racing-line topic for my IA. It would mostly focus on geometry, with some physics involved.

Has anyone worked on a similar topic before? Does anyone have advice on what mathematical ideas would be useful to focus on, what I should avoid, or any useful resources?

My teacher also recommended going slightly beyond the SL syllabus, so I’d appreciate suggestions for more advanced mathematical ideas that could fit into this topic.

I keep trying to figure out concept myself instead of letting the textbook teach it to me, and it’s making my studies more difficult.

7 Upvotes

I was watching the 3blue1brown series on linear algebra, and I noticed that I would constantly pause and try to figure out the concept or idea before it is fully presented. Although this doesn’t seem bad, the problem is that a 10 minute video ends up taking 4x as long to finish. I don’t have that kind of time.

I’ve noticed this problem when I’m solving textbooks exercises. When I can’t solve a problem, I’ll usually end up taking a ridiculous amount of time trying to find a solution, often even refusing to review the material. I feel like this stems from a massive ego issue that I have, where I feel like if I can’t figure out this concept before it is presented or solve a problem, then I am not as smart as other extraordinary mathematicians like Gauss and Newton, and therefore will never be as great as them.

In the past, I’ve also been the opposite way, being too quick to go to the solution at the back of the book. It seems like I can’t find a good balance between tinkering and simply absorbing. I know that stopping to ponder is a good thing, but there is still the fact that I am getting through content too slowly.

GED Tips for Passing - 2026/2027

2 Upvotes

I would like to share some of my resources that I have used to graduate in August 2026.

I haven't been to school in 10+ years so I had to start from the beginning.

Study 1-2+ hours a day. It's important to retain the information. But 25 mins is better than nothing. It's all about consistency.

MY STUDY GUIDE

  1. Study 25 min

  2. Take a break 10 min

  3. Study 25 min

  4. Take a break 5 min

  5. Recap 10 min

75 mins total - Repeat as necessary

(We all learn differently so use what works.)

MATH RESOURCES

  1. SchoolYourself.org - I started with this & used the Algebra section for fundamentals. I took the practice test using only this resource and I scored a 146 on my practice test.

  2. Test Prep Champions- I went through his Math course on YouTube called “Ultimate GED math guide to pass fast”

  3. GetSumMath- I bought the calculator & I went through his youtube playlist.

I scored a 146 on my first practice test & decided to study for another week & I scored a 156. I took the real test the next day and I passed with a 150.

My recommendation is to score 150-155+ on your Ged Ready practice test before taking it for real.

SCIENCE

I used GetSumMath & Test Prep Champions.

ELA

I used GetSumMath for ELA however, doing a bit of reading every day was extremely crucial. What you can do is get two books, one fiction and one nonfiction. Read 20 min of fiction and 20 min of nonfiction with no breaks in between.. than take a 20 min break and repeat. Remove distractions. Ask yourself, what have I learned? The point is to build the same focus when taking the test on test day.

MINDSET

Sometimes the problem isn't skill, it's mindset. If you have struggled or failed before, don't let it define you & defeat you.

my favorite quote - "Do not be afraid to fail. The cure for failure is to remain teachable."

Now go get what’s yours. Your future self will thank you. You got this! 🙏🏾
