I figured the notational confusion between the Hermitian transpose and the complex conjugate is kind of intentional, since moving from one side to the other of an inner product both conjugates scalars and is the adjoint of matrices, plus AA

No, Hermitian matrices can be over p-adics too. You just need an inner product so you can define a matrix to be self-adjoint, and you can define that inner product over p-adics. And the result is kind of funny, because although the statemen

I believe "speed up" in this sense is really akin to how Cramer's rule lets you write down a relatively neat formula for the solution of a linear system, not that it would actually help with performing the calculation numeric

You use \equiv for definitions instead of :=, ^* for complex conjugation instead of \overline, you refer to the Hermitian transpose as the adjoint, and you implicitly assume all matrices are over the complex numbers. There are also other li

Pretty cool. So if the eigenvalues aren't repeated, you get a formula for the eigenvectors of a matrix in term of its eigenvalues and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. It doesn't seem computationally useful, but its theoretical

Okay, thanks. Mathematics Wikipedia is sometimes very biased towards certain points of view (usually more undergraddy, as evidenced by its insistence with the "abstract algebra" term), so I think it's being a bit too pushy wi

Okay, given this, I'm going to rewrite Wikipedia to say "in universal algebra", to disambiguate the context in which it's quoting Cohn.

I would expect an algebra to be at least a ring, i.e. an algebra over a field, a vector space with a bilinear product. If you just say plain algebra, I think matrices and vectors or similar. Most of the structures called algebras (e.g. bool

But you added extra structure: associativity. Cohn's definition doesn't. It just says "set with operations" (well, finitary operations, but that's kind of always implicit in the definition of "operation").

I think Wikipedia is wrong here. I never knew that anyone referred to any generic set with operations as an "algebra". That's a magma! An algebra has much more structure than any generic set with operations. Does this really

Fourier series and plasticity are very broad fields. They're almost top-level classifications in the MSC subject index. Remak's article mentions topics that are much more specific. Although to the uninitiated it may sound just as

Let's not fall into denialism here. There's absolutely no doubt that being a Jewish woman mathematician in the 1930s was doubly difficult than being a male Jewish mathematician -- double the discrimination. Calling Geiringer'

While I don't doubt that Geiringer did a lot of important work, I'm a little frustrated with how difficult it is to read about that work itself. Look at a Wikipedia article about a relatively obscure mathematician, say, Robert Rem

Git is horrible to use. Few people like it, most only tolerate it. Regardless of how you feel about git, there's plenty of literature regarding how awful the git user experience is. Mercurial's greater modularity also has made it
