I recently heard about it and kinda became interested in it because of how simple the original euler zeta function was. But I also found out it’s a meme... so it’s hard to get good resources from people.

This is a problem on my complex analysis class. Given a Riemann Surface W_0 and a compact subset K_0 such that the Riemann Surface W = W_0 \ K_0 there's a point in W say p_0 such that a local barrier exists. Show that Green's function exists.

I tried looking at the solution over the complex plane, Ahlfors creates these two functions that bound the supremum of harmonic functions (Lemma's 1 and 2 around page 240-250 3rd edition) but the problem is the corresponding class of harmonic functions over Riemann surfaces has this log(z(p)) part where z is a coordinate map so it's very difficult to bound. I think you'd have to use the fact K_0 is compact but I'm not sure how. Any anons have some tips?

If there is very little matter in the space, wouldnt the fact of "0 kelvin temperature" be irrelevant? In other words, wouldnt a body thrown into open space keep its internal temperature almost indefinitely, with no or very little particles to transfer heat to?

Gigastrength

same user as I study electrical engineering so I should be able to do this.

I'll keep it simple like they did in my school because I am not quantum physicist.

Current is ordered flow of electrons and it's unit is A or "Amp"
I'll use our favourite water analogy DC is just like water flow but with electrons.
AC is electron going back and forth the higher the frequency the faster they go back and forth.

voltage unit V or "volt"
To this day I can't imagine it so I'll give you an analogy. imagine spring between each electron the more compressed the spring is the higher repel force between the electrons.
I gave up on imagining voltage I look at it this way
You can't have current without voltage so in your wall socket there is voltage between the two holes. Let's say it's "energy" between those two points, the higher the energy the further the electrons can go.
Also the definition of voltage itself is difference between two points. You can't have voltage in one point you always measure two.
So let's say it's "pressure" between those two electrons. The higher it is the more they repel the further they go.
I am not going to start with speed that's a rabbit hole.

Resistance unit Ω or "ohm"
The definition they told me is "the flow of particles with opposite charges in opposite direction as current" Think about resistance as the measure of the difficulty to pass for current.
Everything has resistance even the cable itself.
Without resistance you can have current in closed circuit theoretically forever. This is done with extreme cold it's used in CT machines.
The heat electricity produces is resistance as well.

So which way does current flows? Another good question. The answer is both directions.
Because flow of positive charges is electricity as well. But we say from + to - because that's the flow of positive chargers - is the flow of electrons.
Another important thing:
Current wont flow if your circuit isn't closed. That's how switch works.

Retard here, trying to comprehend vectors
I'm supposed to calculate the distance between Q and the plain and realize that it's 0, meaing Q is on the plain

Besides what's on the drawing the task gives me the normal unit vector for the plain, called n
If I go Q - P0 to get the distance (I'll call it s, it's a vector) and scarlarly multiplay s with n the result is 0, so s and n are orthogonal

Is that proof of the distance between Q and the plain being 0?

There's an earlier example in my book where they calculate the shortest distance between the point and a line, the book says to look at that for help
In that task they calculate the distance s between the points Q and P0 like I did, but then they project it down onto the line, calculate another vector d from the tip of that projection back to Q, and the magnitude of that vector d is the shortest distance. Makes sense.
The difference here being that the point is away from the line and it's a line instead of a plain

Now if I try and project s down in my plain task the result is 0 because of orthogonal memery, meaning d is s, s has a magnitude meaning there would be a distance
I'm just supposed to get to where shit is orthogonal and quit, right?

I'm a total brainlet, with math I need someone to show me the exact task with different numbers so I can go "ah yes I understand what is being done here and why", I have massive trouble making any sort of connections on my own

No, that's what I have to work with. I didn't leave anything out
Only thing I maybe should have made clear is that P0, e1 and e2 is what makes the plain, the plain E is P0 + variable1 * e1 + variable2 * e2
They give me all those vectors, but P0 seems to be the only useful one outside of maybe calculating a normal vector for the plain but they gave me that

Is that proof of the distance between Q and the plain being 0?
Yes
Now if I try and project s down in my plain task the result is 0 because of orthogonal memery
s is parallel to the plane, so the component of s along the normal vector to the plane is 0.
s has a magnitude meaning there would be a distance
A non-zero distance between Q and P0, not between Q and the plane.

There's no standard term for this. You would just describe choosing two different paths of integration

eGremlin

It would cool by radiation only. For a warm-blooded creature (e.g. human), that's nowhere near enough to get rid of body heat, so without some form of active cooling you'd die from overheating.

The temperature of space refers to the equilibrium temperature for an inanimate object which isn't generating heat internally. I.e. the temperature at which absorbed radiation equals emitted radiation.

In this universe, it seems that things do not occur in isolation. Bacteria, religiotards, dog shit, planets, galaxies. Find one of anything and you will likely find millions.
It is reasonable to infer from this that the big bang is likely to be one of many. If so, we would be surrounded in all directions by other universes. The gravity of this huge surrounding mass would explain the accelerating rate of expansion of our universe.
No?

not necessarily

While it might be true, it would mean a non-uniform acceleration meaning we could see different expansion rates in different directions. We couldn't see uniform acceleration in your scenario because of the shell theorem.

I'm currently reading through several tough textbooks.

Would my time be best spent narrowing it down to one, and focusing strictly on that? Currently I bounce daily between, primarily, Spivak's Calculus, Knuth's Cocnrete Mathematics and Hoffman and Kunze's Linear Algebra. When I get BTFO and depressed by any or all, I often peruse easier works like Book of Proof / How to Prove It, or supplementary stuff like Tao's or Landau's work in analysis, MIT's Math for CS lecture notes, etc.

Is my strat shit or bretty gud? Anecdotally, I've noticed leaving and coming back with a fresh perspective is incredibly helpful. But perhaps it's more efficient to focus on one work at a time with monk like focus?

The o() means there's a function that goes to zero faster than $x-x_0$. Basically $\lim_{x\to x_0}\frac{f(x)}{x-x_0}=0\Leftrightarrow f(x)\in o(x-x_0)$. Let $g(x)=f(x)-f(x_0)-f'(x_0)(x-x_0)$, and the previous statement gives you $g(x)\in o(x-x_0)$. Denote $y=f(x),y_0=f(x_0)$ to get $y-y_0=f'(x_0)(x-x_0)+g(x)$. The $g$ is usually just denoted $o(x-x_0)$, since it's an insignificant function anyways. Same thing works backwards, so the definitions are equivalent.

I'm really stuck on Thevenin Equivalent circuits.

I know how to get the equivalent resistance; I simply short circuit voltage sources and "open" the circuit where I want to put the two terminals of my resulting circuit

What Im' really stuck on is doing the Thevenin-Equivalent voltage.

Here's my thought process for solving the circuit in pic related.
They ask me to use Thevenin to get the current going through the ten-ohm resistor.
To get the thevenin-equivalent voltage, I short-circuit the 6-volt source and have an open circuit at the ten-ohms.
Now, we have a 5,20 ohm resistors in parallel, giving us four ohms. We then have 4-5-15 resistors in series, so this gives us
$R_{th} = 24 \Omega$

Solving for the thevenin voltage, we open the circuit at the ten-ohm resistor and keep the 6V Source.
We have four volts going through the 20 Ohm and the 5-15Ohm branches, which means we have three ohms going through the 15-ohm resistor.
The 15-ohm and 10-ohm resistors are in parallel, so $V_{TH} = 3V$

Finding the current through the ten-ohm resistor is thus
$I = \frac{V_{TH}}{R_TH + 10} = \frac{3 } {34} = 0.088 A$

But when I look at the answer, I get that the result is 0.192 A. Where am I going wrong? I'm assuming it's the thevenin voltage expressions, but I'm not sure.

Stark_Naked

this is correct

We then have 4-5-15 resistors in series
this is wrong look at it again

the thevenin voltage was calculated correctly, but don't ever say that you have voltage through, say voltage across

Spamalot

Thanks!
I just saw another proof in a video that went like
$\cdots\Longleftrightarrow g(x)(x-x_0)=f(x)-f(x_0)-f'(x_0)(x-x_0)\text{ and } \lim\limits_{x\to x_0}g(x)=0\\ \Longleftrightarrow f(x)-f(x_0)=f'(x_0)(x-x_0)+g(x)(x-x_0)\text{ and } \lim\limits_{x\to x_0}g(x)=0\\ \Longleftrightarrow y-y_0=f'(x_0)(x-x_0)+\mathcal{o}(x-x_0)$
Though I guess they're both the same since, in a hand-wavy sort of way, if g(x) goes to zero faster than x-x0, then g(x)(x-x0) will too.

Symmetry’s easy. If a/b=2^k, with k in Z and a, b in N, then b/a=1/(a/b)=2^{-k}=2^k’, with k’ in Z and k’=-k. Hence, b~a. Transitivity isn’t much harder, basically start with a/c and show it’s of the form 2^k.

Having trouble with the follow up too. (Sorry, supreme-brainlet here)
A line $r$,
$a_1x_1+b_1y_2+c_1=0$ is parallel to line $s$ : $a_2x_2+b_2x_2+c_2=0$ if no pair $(x,y)$ satisfy both equations when plugged in.

I know there's such a line because from the axioms of affine space, for any two points P and Q there must be a line that passes through both.

Plugging in (0,1) and (1,0) into the general equation for a line implies that a_1 = b_1 = c_1, so my thinking is if I simply go through {1,2,3,4,5,6}

for (0,1) and a = 1, 1*0 + 1*1 + 1 = 2 != 0
for a = 2, 2*0+2*1+2=4 != 0
for a = 3, 3*0+3*1+3=6 != 0
for a = 4, 4*0+4*1+4=8=1 != 0
and so on, so no choice seems to make sense?

I know it's possible because my calculator can do it

And I'm pretty sure I need to use cos(x)^2+sin(x)^2=1 type of stuff
But I have absolutely no idea where to start, I've tried squaring one or both equations and adding or subtracting them, but all I got is pages full of nonsense

Why do you suppose this should always be possible?

Raving_Cute

oh I think my calculator is cheating by replacing sin(30) and cos(30) with b/2 and (sqrt(3)*b)/2
I'll try fucking around with that and report back, I think this might make it easier to subtract one equation from the other

Maybe it is not always possible, but is there a method to work it out for the set of functions it is possible for?

LuckyDusty

I did it!
With the aid of my trusty calculator, at one point I just had to type in what cos(20)*sqrt(3)-sin(20) was and divide some ridiculous numbers
Still wish I could do it without, but I'm not so sure that's possible anymore

[eqn]\pmatrix{\cos(20) & \sin(30) \\ \sin(20) & \cos(30)} \times \pmatrix{a \\ b} = \pmatrix{4 \\ 3}[/eqn]

So you need to find the inverse of $A = \pmatrix{\cos(20) & \sin(30) \\ \sin(20) & \cos(30)}$.

$A^{-1} = \pmatrix{a & b \\ c & d}^{-1} = \frac{1}{\det(A)}\pmatrix{d & -b \\ -c & a}$ where $\det(A) = ad-bc$.

Can anyone help me out here? For pic related I got A, but it says the answer is D.

Sec^2x == tan^2x+1, so I have tan^2x = 3, so I solve for tan x = +/- sqrt(3). Tangent is equal to sqrt(3) at pi/3,2pi/3,4pi/3, and 5pi/3.

Up to that point my answer agrees with the listed one, but I thought the period of tan was pi, right? So shouldn't it be place pi k, and not 2pi k?

S = v/t
t = s/v
12km / 30km/h = 0.4h

Boat expenses = 3.00 * 0.4

Bus expenses = 20 * 0.06

Total = bus expenses + boat expenses

If we assume that the destination point is on shore as well and lake is long enough to the south then we can use Pythagoras theorem about the length of hypotenuse in a straight-angle triangle:

c^2 = a^2+b^2
c = sqrt(12^+20^) ~ 23.3Km

Then we can theoretically travel by boat with 23.3*3

whereismyname

I actually did this, but this question is in a calculus assignment, so i assumed that it was more complex and I was missing something. But maybe I'm overthinking it, idk

Nojokur

What the last topic you've studied then? Should be relevant in context? Werent there any in-class/in-auditorium example questions?

Fried_Sushi

Assuming he drives the boat in a straight line, draw a plot of the paths he takes in the boat and bus. Use a variable for the boat distance, then write the bus distance as a function of the boat distance. Write the total cost as a function of these two distances, which is then a function of just boat distance.

Now that you have total cost as a function of boat distance, take the derivative and set it equal to 0 to find the minimum.

Thanks, I got to the same conclusion, I actually only needed the existence of identity/inverse to solve my problem, and just had to reformulate my proof of those to avoid closed-ness, but from those it follows.

Of course you do long division to change 50' into arc length, ie. 50'=2pi*50'/360'=pi/3,6~0,873
Then you take this value and put into the Taylor series for cos which is $\sum_n=0^\infty(-1)^n\frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}$ and take enough terms that the first digit stops changing... or you could tell your young relative to read the test or tell the school to get its shit together.

So I'm having some trouble understanding line integrals. When I try and solve a problem like $\oint_{\partial R}^{ } {y}^{2} dx + {x}^{2}y dy , R = \left \{ \left ( x,y \right ) \mid 0 \leq x \leq 5 , 0 \leq y \leq 4 \right \}$ using Green's Theorem, I get 120. But when I try and solve it by computing the line integrals of the 4 edges of the rectangle, I get 0 for each of them, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Like If I try to compute the line integral of the bottom edge, the parametric equation of the path would be $\mathbf{r}(t) = \left \langle 5t, 0\right \rangle, 0 \leq t \leq 1$, and its tangent vector would be ${\mathbf{r}}'(t) = \left \langle 5, 0\right \rangle$.

And so the line integral would be $\int_{0}^{1} \left \langle {\left ( 0 \right )}^{2}, {5t}^{2}\left ( 0 \right ) \right \rangle \cdot \left \langle 5, 0 \right \rangle dt = \int_{0}^{1} \left \langle 0, 0 \right \rangle \cdot \left \langle 5, 0 \right \rangle dt = \int_{0}^{1}0 dt = 0$.

Illusionz

The integral along the y=0 is obviously going to be 0. But the others shouldn't, so try including one of those as an example.

So I’m a molecular biology major who has been doing a minor in computer science. Well, it turns out that I’m starting to like my computer science classes much more than my biology major classes, even the higher-level stuff. If I switch majors, I would still be able to graduate on time.

Should I make the switch? I would like to go to graduate school and eventually work in data science or something similar, but I’m not sure about the job prospects. Is it a good idea to have a CS degree in Southern California, or would I be better off job-wise with a molecular biology one?

When you divide by 2 you either remove the 2 or divide 50 by 2, not both, because you've just divided by 4.

Retard question.
Like really retarded.

Why in

3+ 8 * (6-2) + 11 = 46

And not 55?

I thought you just do (6-2) which is 4
And then go back to the beginning

So 3+8 is 11 times 4 which is 44 + 11 =55

Why do we multiply 4 with 8 first?

Fuzzy_Logic

No
The order of execution
let's simplify:

3+8*4+11 = 46

The hard rules are: division and multiplication ALWAYS takes priority over addition and subtraction (exception - special cases and notations like parenthesis, etc).

Knowing that, we understand that first action is the multiplication, therefore:

3+(8*4)+11 = 46
3+32+11 = 46

Brainlet here: is there an intuitive approach to the concepts of divergence and curl? I have been studying electromagnetics for more than a year and I still can't understand.

Evil_kitten

alright i have to be a fucking idiot here
so in a capacitor, current I=c*dv/dt
and the current through a resistor is V/R, by ohms law

and the sum of currents going into a node is the sum of currents leaving that node, by KCL

so wouldn't it make sense for at node N1 (ignore the wire under N1, i had to draw it so i could get a node point), sum of currents entering = sum of currents leaving?
I1=V/R and I2=c*dv/dt, therefore V/R = c*dv/dt, right?

i know that $\displaystyle V=V_0 e^{\frac {-t} {RC}}$ implies dv/dt will always be negative (although that equation is derived from exactly this problem, it also makes logical sense), whereas V/R will always be positive

however if you do KVL, you get Q/C = I1R, which makes sense because I1=V/R which is always positive

if i switch the arrow for I1 i'll get c*dv/dt + V/R = 0 for KCL which is correct, and for KVL i'll get Q/C + I1R = 0, which is incorrect
but if i fucking switch both arrows to point like that then the whole thing makes no sense: what fucking direction is the current flowing

what in the FUCK am i doing wrong

Spazyfool

I1=I2, I1=V/R, and I2=c*dv/dt
yes i know the real equation is c*dv/dt + V/R but i'm not understanding why

Nude_Bikergirl

I haven't thought through the details, but be careful about the direction of the current and the potential GAIN of the capacitor and the potential LOSS of the resistor. If you are kissing a - sign, probably because of the difference of gain vs loss or from I being the rate of DISCHARGE of the capacitor being dq/dt and how this q is related to the Q on the capacitor.

Lunatick

You need to place V on an actual node and make the other one ground/0V. Don't just try to use the equations without relating them to the circuit diagram. Looking at and marking up the diagram helps you stay consistent.

Techpill

alright let's let N1 be V and imagine N2 being at the top at 0V
I2=(V-0)/R = V/R like we had before
I1=c*dv/dt assuming the capacitor has a positive potential difference from N2 to N1
we still end up with c*dv/dt = v/r

if it doesn't have a positive potential difference from N2 to N1 then that wouldn't make sense, because current flows from higher potential to lower potential

what am i not seeing

Evilember

0 to V
positive potential difference
fuck
yeah now i get it

So this is a weird question but why does water when mixed with limestone dust (either the calcium carbonate or calcium oxide) cause it to irritate skin worse than if no water was added?

Sharpcharm

An energy level is location of an electron relative to the nucleus. The more energy it has, the further away it is. Electrons aren't really in orbitals so much as clouds, but they're more probable to be along the orbitals you see in diagrams.
When a photon hits an electron, it transfers energy to the electron. This increase in energy moves the electron further away from the nucleus, putting it in the excited state. This excited state is not the most stable state, so the electron will emit a photon, lose energy, and return to the ground state.

Need some help with some equations for HS chemistry (I'm a senior, just never bothered to take this class). I'm garbage at conversion and I can't find anything helpful online, so my only hope is that someone here has sympathy for a borderline retard and helps me out.

Anyways the question is asking me to find the frequency of the light being emitted by a proton with a wavelength of 493 nm, which I think would be 3.000*10^17 nm/s / 4.93 x 10 ^ 2 nm = 6.085192698*10^14 s, but my answer seems retarded so I have a feeling I went wrong somewhere with the calculation. Part B asks for the energy so I'm assuming it's my previous answer times 6.626*10^-24 J*s to which I got 6.0851926978 x 10^17 s x 6.626 x 10^-34 = 4.0320486816 x 10^-16 j^-1.

For the last question it's pretty much the same as the previous one except it's asking to find the frequency of the light being emitted by a proton with energy of 2.500J and to also find the wave length.

Can someone tell me if I'm going in the right direction and/or solve the second problem? Thanks in advance

Lunatick

sorry if this is a incoherent mess as well, wrote this in a hurry + im tired as shit lol

Bidwell

speed of light is m/s
frequency is 1/s
wavelength is m
wavelength to frequency is m to 1/s which is just (m/s) / (m)
so 3e8 m/s / 493e-9 m = 6.08e14 1/s yes

WebTool

so 3e8 m/s / 493e-9 m = 6.08e14 1/s yes

Okay that's a relief. I'm so tired my brain is fucking lettuce right now, so it's taking me some time to do these. But anyways I went ahead and worked on the second one and got

2.500J/6.626*10^-34 J*S= 3.7730153939028 × 1033

and in order to find the wavelength you divide the speed of light by the frequency so

3.000 x 10^17 nm/s / 3.7730153939028 × 10^33 s = 79.512 × 10^-18 nm ?

"In 4 hours, motorboat, moving along the current, covers 10km less distance then in 6 hours against the current. Find the motorboat's own velocity if it is known that a raft on the same river within 15hrs covers the same distance as motorboat in 2hrs on a still lake"

How do you find the position of nodes and anti-nodes using resonant frequency? The lab book I'm using has no explanation on how to do it.

If you're given something like Lead (II) Sulfide, you assume that it's in the neutral state (no net charge).
If not they'd give you something like [Lead (II) Sulfide]+
Here you're given that it's lead (II) and comes first in the name, you know wit has a positive oxidation state, and its charge is 2, so +2 for lead.
Since the compound is neutral, the sulfide must be -2, to balance out the +2 from lead.

Usually with these you start out with what you know for sure, like lead (II) definitely is +2, then you assign the other one such that it balances out and you have a neutral charge. As you've seen, many elements have multiple oxidation states.

basically a differential equation is homogeneous if every term includes the dependent variable. In this case, you have two terms y' and sqrt(y)cos(t), which both have a y term. So the ODE is homogeneous.
I think maybe youre confusing what it means to be homogeneous with what it means to be linear. An ODE is linear if the only y terms are of the form y, y', y'',... (or each term is only raised to the first power). Your ODE is non-linear precisely because of the square rooted term

King_Martha

a differential equation is homogeneous if every term includes the dependent variable.
That isn't sufficient. For a differential equation to be homogeneous, the coefficients of the dependent variable and its derivatives have to be homogeneous functions, i.e. f(k*x)=k^n*f(x).

You'll have to have information about the boundary conditions of the waveform. What I mean is: are there nodes or antinodes at the end points? Also, you need to know the speed of the waves in question and the number of nodes.

If you want a sort of "Easy Mode" way to do this, just use a Lagrange Polynomial:

No, that can not work, at least it won't work until you add another arbitrary point.
They question is entirely ambiguous, there are an infinite number of polynomials with degree 5 for 5 points.

Lagrange polynomials will ALWAYS have degree <= (n-1) for n data points.

He should probably solve a least squares problem, or something like that.

Let |G| = pq. By Cauchy’s theorem, G has an element a of order p and an element
b of order q. If G is abelian then ab has order pq, so G is cyclic.
Can somebody fill the gap on the last bit? Abelian doesnt imply cyclic, and Cauchys group theorem is just "if p divides |G| then there is a group of order p in G"
Im not sure how that leads to cyclic

Just saw the word 'interpolation" and got 'Nam flashbacks to my scientific computing class.

Why aren't other animals as intelligent as us?

So
G is order pq
Cauchy's Theorem states there are then elements of order p and q in G
Lagrange's Theorem means there are q many elements order p, and p many order q
Abelian means we can take elements a order p and b order q to get ab
ab has order pq
G is order pq with element ab order pq and so G is cyclic order pq

I'm currently sitting in Calculus II feeling like a moron.
It's been 2 years since I took Calculus I and 6 years since I took collegiate algebra.

I remember most of the calc 1 stuff, since it was just basic derivatives and integrations, but I feel like I'm being fucked hard by the algebra.
I talked to my professor about it, and he agreed, saying "algebra is the hard part of calculus."

Any book recommendations for collegiate algebra?

Ring theory question:

Part (a) is obviously trivial but I am not really sure how to do (b). Prof glossed over indecomposible decompositions of rings very quickly in the lecture and I didn't quite understand. How does the partial fraction decomposition aid in doing this?

Every finitely-generated torsion module over a PID decomposes as $V \simeq \bigoplus_{k=1}^n R/(\delta_k)$ where $\delta_1, ..., \delta_k$ are prime powers in $R$. Hence the summands $R/(\delta_k)$ are indecomposable. Your module is annihilated by $x^3-3x-2$, so finding its decomposition is equivalent to finding the prime factors of $x^3-3x-2$.

How to live?

TreeEater

late af but here you go:
being a manifold is structure of its own, so if you want a manifold that is also a group then just equip the underlying set with both structures: take whatever manifold data you need, usually a Hausdorff + second countable + locally Euclidean topology $\tau\subseteq2^{2^M}$, and also take whatever group data you need, usually multiplication $({\cdot}):M^2\to M$ and inverse $({}^{-1}):M\to M$ and identity $1\in M$.
almost certainly you want these structures to be somehow compatible, too, so you also ask that e.g. the multiplication and inverse maps are continuous or smooth or whatever.
that's it, no magic

Is it weird to ask your math professor for academic advice? Or questions about his PhD research? I've decided to major in math and I'd like to talk to my professor first as opposed to an academic advisor who doesn't know shit about the major. He seems to like me since I am doing pretty well in the class. He's a young guy which gives the illusion of him being more approachable. My bad if this is a dumbass question I just don't like one on one meetings and I don't know if this would be appropriate.

farquit

Read the textbook. If you're still lost find some supplementary sources that do a better job of explaining things more intuitively. That's what I did.

Learn how to do proofs, then read a ton of proofs, then try to prove previously unseen theorems without reading the proof first until you get it.

Burnblaze

3Blue1Brown videos on the essence of calculus really good source.

SniperWish

Maybe my textbook is shit, but it doesn't explain the "why"; it just has bullet points for formulas and strategies for solving equations with particular attributes.

I have a basic understanding of formal proofs. I took a course on discrete math that I thoroughly enjoyed, and proofs were a component of it.

You're wrong. Math is, in it's purest form, how man tries to understand reality.
If there is one discipline able to answer that question, it would be Math

a+b = 6
ab = 9
a = 6-b
b(6-b) = 9
6b - b^2 = 9
$\sqrt{6b}-b=3$

I know that a and b = 3 but HOW

idontknow

If you take the square root of 6b - b^2 = 9 you get sqrt[6b - b^2]=3. you can't just solve the square root of 6b and - b^2 individually like that

RavySnake

What? Why? it is a simple linear equation. Consider this:

4a + 2b = 12 | /2
$\frac{4a}{2}+\frac{2b}{b} = \frac{12}{2}$
==
2a + b = 6

We divide each member of the equation by 2 to keep things equal

Same here:
6b - b^2 = 9
we square root every member therefore equation is balanced
$\sqrt{6b} - \sqrt{b^2} = \sqrt{9}$

RumChicken

there should be 2b/2, typo

anyway, I realized i fucked up :

9 - 2^2 = 5

fucking sqrts and power mess my head

anyway, even so, how do you fucking solve

$\sqrt{6b-b^2} = 3$?
b is 3 but fucking how

$1+1=2$
$\sqrt{1}+\sqrt{1}=1+1=2\ne\sqrt{2}$

clearly the puzzle was intended to be solved via intuition since square equations not part of the topic

No, that is not it. Since it's a subtraction you must do what is inside the square root first. If it was a multiplication it would be fine however.
