      Just imagine that this kind of mathematics is like teaching about the dot product to high school students for you. Some of my teachers in grad school didn't even have to look at the book once, when proving giant theorems in functional analysis or C* algebras. We students just struggled with the definitions and they were just proving those big theorems like nothing. I still miss it a lot. Nothing like trying to wrap your head around mathematics that were developed by absolutely talented geniuses.@

      You taught highschool math... cool... you were humbled by this? Yet taught people....

      @xxneweraxx7422 10 місяців тому

      ​@@grayson8566 Such reflexion already is witness of your honest stupidity. Let's took a simple look at your beautiful reasoning and see what comes of it. After all, as you said, i'm just an insecure guy, surely I shouldn't be able to analyse simple stuff and will probably proceed to get mad and insult you over it, right?
      Anyways, you start your sentence with "I typed 5 words". And? I'd like to know exactly the connotation in which that plays a role, because I sure as hell don't see it here haha. Should i remind you that some of the biggest essays in human history literally came from simple questions of affirmations that are within that range of words? If I ask you the question "what is life", or if i type some pathetic attempt at explaining a concept in the wrongest way possible, what exactly is preventing you from typing an entire essay to answer it? Is it some kind of unwritten rule that I have to keep my answer short as hell simply due to you not wanting to elaborate more? I don't think so, so, that's out of the way, it honestly sounds stupid as hell.
      Now, obviously, comes the beautiful insult where you feel obligated to grace us everyone with your best interpretation of a useful enumeration. I apologize, mister, but calling me "bitter, insecure, and defensive" over stating how stupid your original point was honestly just sounds like a reflexion of someone who is very bratty pissed that I decided to answer to your original statement, which, i'll say again, is stupid as hell. Now, I won't even ask the link between me saying you sound stupid, and you saying I "dumped my life into one field", because that honestly makes no sense at all, we both know you are just resorting to random insults instead of actually stating why would my opinion be stupid, because that's the best you can do I guess.
      Now, your last sentence is even dumber. I could firstly perfectly ask you to describe what the fuck you mean by "conduct ourselves as men". What is the context, what is the scenario, what is the connexion? Now, obviously, your answer to that will be something among the lines of "being mature and not getting mad and insulting people over one opinion", or something like that, but, not only let me state again, your "opinion" is honestly dumb as hell on top of still not being in the slightest justified, but in that demonstration of lack of reasoning you provided me with, you also decided to throw in some free insults! So, exactly, what the hell are you trying to imply here if you can't even formulate proper sentences and must resort to "childish" insults, since apparently your definition of man must be something axed around that in this context.
      Not only that, but the statement in itself is pretty dumb, once again. Maths can and absolutely do help us conduct ourselves as "men" if that's the term you wanna employ. Indeed, any near-braindead idiot with a little bit of thinking can absolutely understand the concept that maths, through working and practicing, and through learning new things, will absolutely help us mature and transit from a "boy" to a "man". Now, if you wanna argue the definition of a "man" because you don't have anything better to actually say, sure, go ahead, I literally won't give a damn tho, because i'm just employing the term you decided to use to demonstrate how little of a point you can actually provide us with.
      So, there you have it, i'm providing my point of view based on analyzing your sentences. Now, will you be able to do the same? Viewing how you responded to the first comment, I doubt so, but the shot is still yours. But, i'll still go ahead and suggest my personal point of view : please do shut up, you make little to no sense and are just getting irritated over stupid stuff. Once again, "it's all just a concept" is a stupid opinion, because this concept translated into reality on a universal scale, considering maths gave us the ability to create and approximate pretty much everything we know today. So, once again, provide me with some actual thinking if you decide to come back, but in the meantime just shut up. (Oh and obviously, lastly, you can try to argue if you want that i'm just getting mad, but that'd just be the proof you don't even wanna try to elaborate an actual response because of how annoyed you'd be at me providing some simple reasoning. So far, you are the one out of us two that spat out the most insults.) Thanks!

    For #7, you should be motivated by the general principle that regularity decay of Fourier coefficients, and that the Fourier coefficients of a convolution are the products of the Fourier coefficients of the factors. The Holder condition implies a small but polynomial rate of decay (*), and so convolving sufficiently many times you can get an arbitrary polynomial rate of decay, in particular enough to satisfy the sufficient condition to lie in C^3.
    (*) For C^1 regularity, recall you can prove O(1/n) decay of Fourier coefficients by integrating by parts. For alpha-Holder regularity you can no longer do this but you can still manipulate difference quotients in a way inspired by integration by parts (in the sense that you can pass difference quotients from one factor of the integrand to the other). Doing this in a slightly clever way, you will get O(n^(-\alpha+\epsilon)) decay.

Before the quiz i didnt sleep 4-5 days, i lost time. Then it came the big quiz, professors look-after was there to gave us papers, as i have seen them i thought "oh, ok i can do this (maybe?)" , to my surprise i couldnt. i got 5 out of 50. Then the exam came, what a surprise it was worse. I did what i could. Then comes the part which is popular in russian universities (explain how did you do that!) i can say he was like: "now explain" - "ok you dont seem to understand this question you may leave!". Thats how everyone left. Some passed, some didnt. I was sent to retake with 15 days given to me to pass it (ps"if i dont pass ill be expelled by the university because it was a main class"). That was the hardest 15 days ive studied in my life, then i passed at retake by the favor of professor. I wish all our fellow mathematicians out there good luck. Its neither mentally or physically easy for us. Take care!

    • @PhDVlog777
      @PhDVlog777  11 місяців тому +202

      I've always been interested in STEM subjects but 8th grade was when I started to prefer mathematics. There are days that I get burned out but typically the next day I get back into it. Granted there are subfields of math I don't much care for.
      There's no real way of knowing if you will get burned out from doing math daily until you actually do it, which is unfortunate. But that is true for most things in life. My recommendation is to pick something you know you like (or at least tolerate) and fully commit to it. Michael Jordan probably had days where he hated playing basketball but still gave 100%. Not that we all have to be like Michael Jordan, but it is something I think about whenever I lose interest in math.

    • @dynamicdingus
      @dynamicdingus 9 місяців тому +7

      I've personally always been passionate about art, started drawing since I was like 4. However, I became a CS major 2 years ago after trying some basic coding online for a couple days. 3 reasons: 1. I found that I enjoyed it because I like the problem solving aspect of it. 2. I don't want to starve in the future as an artist because it is an oversaturated field of work. 3. I prefer to keep it as something I can do on my free time to relaxe and just let myself go into a piece of paper, or whatever medium I'm using. It is simply a fact that a job will be stressful at times, especially if it's a job that doesn't pay well and you end up struggling financially. I don't want that to happen to me with art. I do want to sell stuff on the side, but I don't want to depend on it to live because then it loses its "magic" ig u could say. Also, I find that when I spend a lot of time doing logic based stuff with math hw and coding projects, I end up craving to spend time creating art. And when I have lots of free time, I end up playing video games or doing anything other than what I want to make myself do, art. So just wanted to give my perspective on the matter. Some people have multiple interests and it's hard to rlly decide what to focus your time on and what to depend on for income. I also rlly like guitar but I haven't been able to learn much cus I have to prioritize school and art. It's also good to push yourself to explore other things. You'd be surprised what you can end up enjoying or being very good at. It happened to me with cs. For years, I dodged every opportunity to learn something about coding, simply cus I thought it looked very boring. When I finally tried it, I quickly realized that I actually found it enjoyable. So yeah, imma shut up now lol. Gl to everyone!

It is the perfect introduction to pure mathematics :D
      Dont stop when the problems get difficult, that's exactly the point when you start learning more and you expand your understanding of the subject. it might take an hour or two hours or even several days to do one exercise, but that's good! All that time you spent thinking isn't time wasted, I recommend watching a 3 minute snippet from an interview with Alaine Connes titled "How a mathematician works" that explains what mindset you need to approach pure mathematics with.

Recreational maybe? Is that the word I'm looking for? Like I'd assume these courses work toward some larger goal, but like what is the macro quest here for these?

      These types of courses might fall under the category, "can't see the forest for the trees." Fourier analysis has many wide reaching applications in signal processing, statistics, oceanography, digital image processing, and many other fields. But it is not at all apparent how these problems apply to these fields.
      My take away is that these problems serve more to help students develop tricks that can be used to solve hard problems later down the road.
