Me: In 150 words or less, prove that a quadrilateral with a right angle is a square.

ChatGPT:
If a quadrilateral has a right angle, consider the diagonals and opposite angles. Let ABCD be the quadrilateral with a right angle at, say, angle ABC. The opposite angles, like ABC and ADC, are supplementary due to the right angle. Now, examine the diagonals AC and BD. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles, forming congruent triangles ADC and ABC by Side-Angle-Side. This implies that AD is congruent to BC. In a quadrilateral with right angles and congruent diagonals, it must be a rectangle. But since AD is congruent to BC, the opposite sides of the rectangle are also congruent. Therefore, ABCD is not just a rectangle; it's a rectangle with all sides congruent, meeting the criteria of a square.

We can generalize the "use n propositions to split into 2^n lemmas" even further. We can split on infinitely many propositions at once!

Let I be a set with an element representing each proposition (i.e. it's an index set) and T⊆I represent the set of true propositions. Generally, I will be simple (such as the set of natural numbers) but we don't know how to nor do we need to calculate T (since they are unknown propositions).

Let's say you want to use the trick to prove A⇒B.

Here's what you need to prove:

> Let S denote an arbitrary subset of I.
> Assume A and that S⊆T (i.e. that S is a set of true propositions).
> Prove that ((exists x. x∈T\S) or B).

This represents our "2^n lemmas", if we count each S as a separate lemma!

The intuition is that we start with S=∅, and use the lemma to keep adding true propositions to it everytime we hit the first case. Eventually we either hit the second case of the lemma result, or we eventually build up to S=T (and then we must hit the second case).

Proof of A⇒B using the lemma

The actual proof is much simpler though and doesn't use any kind of recursion. Just let S=T in the lemma! (We could've actually done that to start with, but the intuition works better if we think of S as being any subset of I.) We have A and that S⊆T, so we can use the lemma. There are two cases:

- exists x. x∈T\S: Since, T\S=T\T=∅, we have a contradiction. By the principle of explosion, conclude B.
- B: We conclude B.

Therefore B.

#constructive #math tip

Often in a proof using classical math, you might take a related proposition X and split into cases "X" and "not X". Some examples in number theory: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis#Excluded_middle>.

We can't do this in constrictive math, but there is a trick that is equivalent (and more elegant)!

X is any kind of proposition, such as:

- a conjecture, like the Riemann hypothesis
- a statement with free variables, like "n > k" or "G is finite" or any instance of "x has property P"
- a statement independent of your axioms, like the continuum hypothesis or the axiom K

In many cases you might be able to prove excluded middle (EM) for your specific X, but here's an alternative that works for any X.

**The trick**

If you are trying to prove A⇒B, prove the following two lemmas first:

- A⇒(X or B)
- (A and X)⇒B

Classically this is equivalent to splitting on "X or not X" (the first lemma is the "not X" case since "A⇒(X or B)" is equivalent to "(A and not X)⇒B" if EM holds for X), but it's still a theorem constructively that those two lemmas imply A⇒B!

Proof

Assume A. By the first lemma we conclude X or B. There are two cases:

- X: By the second lemma conclude B.
- B: We conclude B.

Therefore B.
∎

If you are just trying to prove C, then use the above trick on "1=1⇒C". If you are trying to refute C, use the above trick on "C⇒0=1". For proof by induction, A can include the induction hypothesis.

Moreover, if you have n propositions of interest, you can split into 2^n lemmas. Adding more propositions never hurts since you can ignore any unneeded propositions when proving any of the lemmas! Many of the lemmas may be trivial or redundant if you already know some relationships between the propositions.

There is a neat visual proof of this generalized means' inequality using radii, diameter, chords of a specifically constructed circle. In that case, it is visually clear that the inequality holds. However, the fact that specific line segments correspond to the means is hidden behind a few applications of Pythagoras theorem and/or similar triangles.

These "few application of Pythagoras/similar triangles" will result in the exact same formulation as above (and is in fact the inspiration for the above reformulation).
This can be found here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MathematicalMeans.svg

Another visual proof, in which the inequality is obvious since the line segments are all on the same line is present here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MathematicalMeans.svg

I like the first proof *slightly* more because the second requires separate coloring/notation to show where each means' line segment starts and ends which the first does not. Although, if that is not an issue and the figure can be produced with enough clarity, then the immediately obvious inequality relationships are a point in favor of the second proof.

Making salsa from n-dimensional tomatoes

===

I was making salsa the other day and got to thinking about the relationship between how many cuts you make and how many pieces you end up with. It's interesting, right? If I make two cuts through a slice of tomato and the cuts are parallel, I get three pieces but if the cuts are perpendicular, I get four. Same number of cuts different outcome. What's going on? It turns out that it has to do with the dimensionality of tomatoes. 1/x #math #mathstodon

The 16th century French lawyer and mathematician François Viète [1] was the first person to discover an infinite product formula for π. Viète's formula, which was the first identity to express π as a limit, was published 1593.

Viète's beautiful formula involves just a single number: 2

There is a nice explanation of how Viète's formula works here: https://steemit.com/mathematics/@nenio/vietes-formula-for-pi.

U.S. students' #math scores plunge in global education assessment 👇 ✖️ ➗ 🤪

What I do with the students struggling with #math is help them.

I don't usually bother with the #writing unless I cannot understand what they are trying to communicate. There are a lot of students with poor spelling. I think they really have not been exposed to much vocabulary. A lot of students think rain is "percipitation".

We do always see a few students who write libido when they mean albedo. I correct that one.

Imagine you had the chance to buy a new blackboard for your office - what would you choose and why?
a) an actual blackboard (with chalk and everything)
b) a glassboard with good markers (tell me your favorite brand)

(please don't tell me how awful whiteboards are. Will not buy one of those anyway)

Analytic geometry is a fantastic area of mathematics which is populated by all kinds of crazy objects. Being that it is Christmastime (and therefore Christmas math time) please check out the paradoxical object shown on the left. This object is sometimes known as the Infinite Gift. A related object is known as Gabriel's Wedding Cake [7].

In the Infinite Gift the length of the side of the nth box is 1/√n, so the area of one side of the nth box equals (1/√n)² = 1/n. Since a box has 6 sides the surface area of the nth box is 6·(1/n). Then what you find is that in the limit as n → ∞ the Infinite Gift has infinite surface area but finite volume!

Here's an interesting aside: In the limit the area of the Infinite Gift equals 6 times the harmonic series (which we know diverges [8]).

The continuous version of this object is known as Gabriel’s Horn (aka Torricelli’s Trumpet) and is shown in the figure on the right [1,2]. Gabriel's Horn is the surface of revolution of the function y = 1/x about the x-axis for x ≥ 1. As we can see in image, in the limit Gabriel’s Horn has volume = π and area = ∞. These properties lead to an interesting situation known as the Painter’s Paradox [3,4].

This is the Painter's Paradox: Somehow even though you can fill Gabriel’s Horn with paint (its volume is finite), you still won’t have enough paint to cover its inside surface (its area is infinite)!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Why do you think that the set of reals has a different size from the set of squared reals?
#maths #math #infinity #yawn

Simple proof that infinities come in different sizes:

lim x->∞ x = ∞(1)
lim x->∞ x² = ∞(2)
∞(2) - ∞(1) = lim x->∞ x² - x = ∞ > 0

It's #CategoryTheory #Caturday again and I'm still stuck on L&S Session 15 Exercise 7! This week I break down my Python code from last week to "solve" Exercise 8, but am still just brainstorming possible solutions for 7. Alphonse is still helping, this time by sitting on the tan cushion which is now back in "ottoman"-form. It seems like a fitting metaphor for my hypothesis about my missing maps somehow. #math #cats https://rruff82.github.io/LS-Categories/session15-p5.html
