    I believe the last math class I took was a statistics class in freshman year of undergrad… I definitely do not understand a thing about this test or any of these problems, but your passion for the subject keeps me watching! It comes out in how you speak about it - you love this stuff. Good for you, man.

    This is amazing, I’m currently in my Civil Engineering curriculum taking courses such as CE Statics and Mechanics of Deformable Bodies. I only took math through calc 3, and then differential equations and linear algebra.
    Just watching your videos is insane to me, and I can tell you put so much time into studying and broadening your intelligence towards these topics , congrats! I can’t ever imagine learning what you’re learning!

    For 3, I would take compact neighborhoods (closed balls) of all the rational points in U, their union is U. The image of each compact is compact, and then f(U) is a countable union of compact sets so it is a Borel set.

    For 2. b): Assuming that a_k -> 0 (otherwise just set f_k = a_k) a typewriter-like sequence should do it, i.e. in the first iteration pick some n s.t. sum_{k = 1}^{n} a_k >= 1 and set f_1 = 1_[0, a_1], f_2 = [a_1, a_1 + a_2], ..., f_n = 1_[...] * 1_[0, 1]. Continue in this fashion so that f_k(x) fails to converge for any x. Just like a typewriter, the indicator function wanders from left to right along the interval over and over again.

    • @AshKetchumAllNow

      I don't agree with what you wrote but I think you have the correct idea. Let S_1 be the first time the partial sum is greater than 1 (so it is for the n you found). Then, the trick you did works until then: define f_1 = 1_[0,a_1], and f_k = 1_[summation until k_1, summation until k] (so that the interval length is a_k). For f_n, we can do the same thing, and notice that since summation k=1 to n goes outside [0,1], the interval is smaller than a_n, so the integral still holds. For f_(n+1), we should continue as before, but make sure to subtract S_1 (to map back into [0,1]. Eventually, we will go above 1 again, and have to subtract S_2, etc. There's no need to multiply by 1_[0,1] since the f_ks are defined only for that interval anyway.

    Let $\{K_n \mid n\in\mathbb{N} \}$ be a countable collection of compact sets
    such that K_n \subseteq U and U = union of these compact sets.
    Then f(U) = \cup_n f(K_n), which is a F_\sigma set and hence it is Borel.
    I have not worked out the details for the construction of {K_n}.

    I tried to solve the third question for the case when n=m=1. If f is a real valued continuous fn. on R, prove that f(U) is Borel. Since U is an open set, we can write it as a countable union of disjoint open intervals, and since f is continuous it will map an open interval to some sort of an interval (maybe open, close, half-open, all of them are Borel that's what we care about). Therefore the image of U under f will be a countable union of intervals OR a countable union of Borel sets. Which is a again a Borel set. Is this the right approach?? How did you do it for general n and m??

    • @robertschumann6977
      @robertschumann6977 Рік тому +3

      Yes, that's correct for the 1D case (the rigorous argument would be that an open interval is connected and connectedness is preserved under continuous transformations, hence also its image will be connected and thus an interval). For the general case you want to argue by means of compact sets since compactness is preserved under continuous transformations. This means all you have to do is to show that an open subset of R^n can be written as the countable union of compact sets (e.g. dyadic decomposition).

      I think working through math books and daily practice.
      You can't really skip to much when talking about the fundamentals but after that all of math opens up for you. (pre-)Algebra -> Trig -> (pre-)Calc -> complex numbers.
      For analysis you need to know logic, sets and proof writing. Which is basically building math up from logic to proof the stuff you use in Calculus.
      There are many more subjects in mathematics but basically if you're doing Real Analysis and you understand the way of thinking then you are well equipped to tackle any other subject.
