  1. factorial - Why does 0! = 1? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Possible Duplicate: Prove 0! = 1 0! = 1 from first principles Why does 0! = 1 0! = 1? All I know of factorial is that x! x! is equal to the product of all the numbers that come before it. The product …

  2. power series - How can we know the answer to 1-1+1-1+1 ...

    The series does not converge, because as you observe, the partial sums $1,0,1,0,\ldots$ oscillate and do not approach a single limit. There are various ways to assign values to some divergent …

  3. General term formula of series 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 ... +1/n

    @coffeemath Debatable: you can write Hn = S2 n + 1 n! Where S denotes Stirling numbers of the first kind. But it may not be considered a "closed form", since Stirling numbers are not much …

  4. Why is $1/i$ equal to $-i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 11, 2015 · While 1/i = i−1 1 / i = i 1 is true (pretty much by definition), if we have a value c c such that c∗i = 1 c ∗ i = 1 then c= i−1 c = i 1. This is because we know that inverses in the …

  5. If $A A^{-1} = I$, does that automatically imply $A^{-1} A = I$?

    Mar 30, 2020 · 1 Short Answer Yes AA -1 = A -1 A = I when the Det (A) ≠ ≠ 0 and A is a square matrix. Long Answer A matrix is basically a linear transformation applied to some space. For …

  6. abstract algebra - Prove that 1+1=2 - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 15, 2013 · Possible Duplicate: How do I convince someone that $1+1=2$ may not necessarily be true? I once read that some mathematicians provided a very length proof of $1+1=2$. Can …

  7. What is the value of $1^i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 30, 2010 · There are infinitely many possible values for $1^i$, corresponding to different branches of the complex logarithm. The confusing point here is that the formula $1^x = 1$ is …

  8. Formal proof for $ (-1) \times (-1) = 1$ - Mathematics Stack …

    Jun 13, 2020 · Is there a formal proof for $(-1) \\times (-1) = 1$? It's a fundamental formula not only in arithmetic but also in the whole of math. Is there a proof for it or is it just assumed?

  9. What does $QAQ^ {-1}$ actually mean? - Mathematics Stack …

    Apr 28, 2020 · I'm self-learning Linear Algebra and have been trying to take a geometric approach to understand what matrices mean visually. I've noticed this matrix product pop up repeatedly …

  10. Proof that $(AA^{-1}=I) \\Rightarrow (AA^{-1} = A^{-1}A)$

    I'm trying to prove a pretty simple problem - commutativity of multiplication of matrix and its inverse. But I'm not sure, if my proof is correct, because I'm not very experienced. Could you, …
