In this video I will show you a book that I just got. It's called Basic Mathematics and it was written by the legendary Serge Lang. I have wanted this book for a very long time and I finally got it:) I will also do a problem from the book in this video. We will find the inverse of a multivariable function. I did not expect to find a problem like that in this book:)

There is something very satisfying about constantly tackling new math topics, and applying the stuff that you have learned in previous math topics. The most familiar and traditional example of this would probably be applying arithmetic to algebra, and then you also of course have things like applying trigonometry to calculus, or the Fourier/Laplace transforms to partial differential equations.

I started the book a little skeptical. I started reading the first chapter thinking “damn, it is very basic stuff”. But when it came to prove stuff, I was like: wow, it is totally natural to use it, but I never stopped to work on the proof! I’m on my second day with it and finished the exercises of the first chapter. I have to say I’m VERY excited to go through the whole book, because I just realized that basic doesn’t mean easy! Sometimes I feel “wow, I didn’t know I was so rusty” 😂. Again, I’m glad I found your channel. It is making me regain a love for mathematics.

When I saw this question I first thought about just looking at the differential and use inverse function theorem, since then it would be everywhere invertible. But I guess there is a point to using only the elementary tools, as when I took phd comps, there was this question on differential forms that asked explicitly to use integration on manifold instead of others like kunneth formula or whatever, really got stuck but that taught me to always appreciate the more fundamentals.

Thank you for solving a problem. I just found it funny how you used 2 full pages to complete 1 question and then cut back to showing the book that is called Basic Mathematics xD I loved math when I was a kid, even throughout most of high school..... but I went through a tough time (depression due to a heart problem) in my last 2 years of high school. I stopped doing my homework and just didn't care about anything. My math teacher was one of few who noticed my grades slipping. I just passed it off as me just not paying attention but It was a real focusing problem that I just couldn't control. I passed the class with a D+, just did the bare minimum to not fail the class. I just vaguely remember always feeling distracted all the time, even got called by my teacher during class and didn't realize I had been called to answer the question on the board.... 3 times, but I'd always play it off as me thinking they were talking to the other person with the same name as me.... It was pretty bad (depression), I just never told anyone due to not wanting pity. Never went to college after graduating. Don't regret not going, especially me remembering how bad my focusing was during those times... but now I'm really wanting to start going to college. I never got help but I did get better on my own, It just felt like it was a very long "thought" that lasted for years. I don't regret not getting help, it wasn't even something I thought I could get. just felt hopeless and had no idea I could even get help. A bit ago, I started walking a mile a day, slowly turning it into, several miles a day, and now I'm walking 10 miles a day. I have made this daily a walk a necessary constant that I need in my life. My cousin had a kid and he introduced me to her and wow have I never been happier to be alive. Finally feels refreshing in my head to be able to focus again. I commented this because I've been watching your vids for quite some time and truly appreciate the effort you put into teaching. Thanks again for showing us how to improve on our math.

There is a trick if a softcover book doesn't lay flat and you don't want to break the spine. you can lay the book with it's spine flat on a table go to a few pages from the front and from the back of the book and press down. And then repeat this for the whole book. This will soften the spine and will make it a lot easier to read softcover books.

Since you are slowly turning into a unique channel for math, since the days you gave Google ads for your channel I am fan of your enthousiasm. What I would suggest is this, We need more typical problem from a class of problems and how to solve them..like your examples from basic math and induction proof for inequality..please do more problems in a systematic manner. Mainly.for advanced topics where abstract notions obscures the math, insights and the process of "bringing down the abstract" to concrete examples and the full display of the math. This way we will go all the way up again to Abstract level. So Whenever you show us how to come down from abstract to concrete, we will go from concrete to the abstract!! A real beatiful teaching cum learning cycle. I think this is what most self learners want from sorcerer like you!!

Hey Math Sorcerer, I have been spending a lot of time in the regression/modelling world and have found it difficult to find original publications for who developed these concepts e.g. linear mixed effect models, so I was wondering if you had any insight. Statistics seems to be a younger field than a lot of other areas of maths so I didn't think it would be so hard to find original papers and there are so many applied studies as well.

To show that f(x,y) has an inverse it is sufficient to show that the determinant of its matrix M M = (2 -1) (1 1) has non-zero determinant. Since the determinant is 2*1 - (-1)*1 = 2+1 = 3 the function f has an inverse. Buried n the above, of course, is the subtle point that f(x,y) has a matrix precisely because it is a linear transformation - an so all the tools of linear algebra can be brought to bear. If determinants aren't available in time for this problem, then the combination of demonstrating that f is linear, and maps the basis vectors (1,0) and (0,1) to non-collinear image vectors, is also sufficient to demon- strate that f(x,y) has an inverse.

Since f is a linear application, showing that Ker(f) = {0} is enough to show that f is bijective. And f(x, y) = 0 => x=y=0, so you get directly that f is bijective, and thus inversible. Of course it does not seem that at this point of the book, linear applications have been studied -- but that's interesting to see how simple arguments can do the job so fast!

Since it only asks for the existence of an inverse, you can simply show that. To show that a mapping has an inverse, we simply need to show it is an injective function. i.e. there do exist distinct points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) such that f(x1,y1) = f(x2,y2). To show it is true, proceed by contradiction. Basic properties of the real numbers allow you to conclude that f does indeed have an inverse mapping.

Part of the "Addison Wesley series in introductory mathematics" 2nd printing, June 1972. Seems to be the same book. Has Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 75-132055 but no ISBN can see.

Here are some alternatives: 1- Prove that f is linear, then prove that ker(f)=0, and from dimension theorem conclude that f is surjective, hence bijective, so it has an inverse. 2- In the same spirit of the linearity of f, notice that it can be associated with a matrix, calculate its determinant which is nonzero, hence f has an inverse. 3- Prove that f is injective by letting f(a)=f(b) and showing that this implies a=b, then show surjectivity by letting f(p)=q, and finding p in terms of q (which you already did in the video)

I usually look at expensive math books by getting a copy on Library Genesis, then if I like it I will try to find a used good copy. When I took Geometry in high school, from day one we were presented with theorems and axioms and taught how to do proofs. This geometry book has none of that which I could find. It was so watered down I wondered what value it had at all.

(i) , (ii) , (iii)...What are these symbols? Does it mean "then" ? Sorry for such a stupid question. I live in Brazil. I am aware of the fact that we don't have important scientific tradition here and I do avoid reading physics and chemistry local books. Then I use to buy and study nord american and European scientific books. ( I also lived in Italy many years and like very much history of science ) Anyway, believe me, here in Brazil we have some good mathematicians and didactic books. One of them is Fields medallists, Artur Avila. About Calculus books, I read a note from aother brazilian mathematician - Geraldo Avila- ( who has been a teacher in the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York University) : "All mothern calculus books are directly or indirectly inspired by Richard Courant's book Differential and Integral Calculus" [ something like that ]. Do you agree? I bought it but I find hard to study this book.

(i), (ii), (iii) is just a numbering convention, like 1, 2, 3. That's all. It's nice to have different types of numbers for organization. Yeah the Courant book is good but it is hard. It takes a lot of work.

Random question, but do you happen to know what ancient Greeks called tangent lines?

I just know "tangent" means "to touch" in latin according to the internet:)

@@TheMathSorcerer All I could find was that meaning is from the 16th century or something. Not really sure what that all means, but the basis of why I'm wondering this is that I'm curious about how the greek root for the tangent could differ in meaning from other cultures-- thusly demonstrating the base difference in their logic. i know from some of my textbooks (Calculus: Early Transcendentals 7th Ed) that the problem of determining the equation of a tangent line to a point in a circle has been considered since 300bc greece. So given that the latin word appeared around the 16th century ad, I'm just wondering what the greeks may have called it, lol..

You should definitely buy yourself a tablet. Samsung's S7+ is top notch and is fairly cheap. BUT... I guess you must be old school and prefer paper and pencil better. I do sometimes too, but the tablet had me changing sides xd Great video!!

Btw, you didn’t have to do the check g(f(x,y))=(x,y) since any inverse is an inverse from both sides
@lilellia
@lilellia Жыл бұрын
Not quite always. Take f(x) = x² and g(x) = √x, where f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = |x|. Or f(x) = sin(x) and g(x) = arcsin(x) where f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x only for x on [-π/2, π/2]. It's at least not immediately obvious to me by inspection that the function in the video f(x, y) = (2x-y, y+x) is one-to-one (...the showing of which, in fact, is the goal of the problem).

i joined a discord account that literally created for people who want to learn this book.That is because the book doesn't have solutions and some answers are errors.I have seen people (like me) who eventually give up. It would be a great help if you can make udemy lessons dedicated for this book,just help to explain some stuffs.I will definitely buy that and eventually buy your more adavance math topics!.Ive been wanting to tell you about this book but i just thought that it would be too easy and basic for you to consider.
