@@DanielJackson6742 this is unnecessary. The definition of a prime number is any number p that satisfies the implication p|ab => (p|a or p|b) The definition you gave, as far as I know, is equivalent. But generally it's good to avoid quantifiers like "for all" and "exists" when you can, since it leads to simpler and more operable definitions.

Excellen video. One remark though: Euler has had this insight (and many other insights) BEFORE Riemann constructed the analytic continuation. In a sense, you are talking about the Euler Zeta function, with domain positive real numbers greater than 1. There is absolutely no need for the extension of the domain to complex numbers or for analytic continuation.

TIL! It makes sense though because both infinite products and sums should be respected the same by derivates, and so analytic continuation on the sum formula Vs the product formula must produce the same result.

That case of "unnatural" numbers seems weird because, for example, addition in that system never works as a binary operation (no sum will be within unnatural numbers), and thus it's not a ring and multiplication has no real meaning as well. On the other hand, if you say that 1 + 11 = 21 in unnaturals, then it means that those numbers are just natural numbers in disguise and you may just re-label 11 as 2, 21 as 3, and so on, and the math works fine again. For illustrative purposes it's fine, but it's much worse than Z[sqrt(5)] for example which is a legit ring that shows how it can have non-unique factorization.
@andrewkarsten5268
2 ай бұрын
You’re right about the ring issue, and it would’ve been nice for him to be more explicit about that, however the idea is about factoring an element into a product. Since you are familiar with rings, I assume you are familiar with groups as well. You can define “multiplication” without defining “addition” in a group structure (though it’s not a group either, I think it’s a monoid?) and you can have irreducibles in groups as well. There’s an area called representation theory which focuses on group representations and breaking those down into irreducible representations, and it has a similar flavor.

Hey, thanks for the amazing video. I especially liked the examples. The only thing that i would have liked to be added eas explaining why the proof does not hold for the examples given. From what i can tell, the unnatural numbers are not closed under adition or substraction, so there goes part of the proof. While the Q✓5 numbers are not well ordered. So from what i can tell, the reason why it holds for natural numbers is because we have division with remainder. But i would love it if anyone has extra insight.

You mean checking if P divides N? As in if P/N is a whole number? An easy way would be to just run Euclidean algorithm to compute gcd(N, P) and check if it's == P. The most naive form of that algorithm only takes O(N/P) steps. There's probably much better ways though. I'd guess just calculating N mod P would also give you the answer pretty well, as would N/P and calculating the factional part out of it

@fullfungo
2 ай бұрын
The final expansion does not include x^∞ and here is why. The expression (1+x)•(1+x^2)•(1+x^4)•… is not a shorthand for an infinite expression with infinitely many brackets, because all well-formed formulas in most logical systems are limited to finite strings of text. Instead, this expression is a shorthand for a limit of the following finite expressions: (1+x) (1+x)•(1+x^2) (1+x)•(1+x^2)•(1+x^4) … Of course this can all be compacted into lim_{n->∞} Π_0^n (1+x^(2^n)) which is once again a finite formula. Either way, if we expand every step individually, we get: 1+x 1+x+x^2+x^3 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7 … So the resulting expression 1+x+x^2+… just means the limit of the expressions defined above. If we want, we can compact it into lim_{n->∞} Σ_0^n x^n which is a finite expression. In either case, the term x^∞ does not actually appear.
