Need help with convexity/probability proof 
  Claim: if the rejection regions for a statistical test are defined as sets of test values for which the ratio of the rate of growth of Type I errors to the rate of growth in power is bounded above by a parameter, then the curve of power vs Type I error is concave. (A more careful wording of this claim is given below.)... more »

---- ---- ---- congruence 
  Consider the following two unrelated equations. x^k + (1/4)y^k = 0mod(k^2) (1) x^k + (1/4)y^(2k) = 0 mod(k^2) (2) Conditions:x, y are relatively prime integers, y is even, k is prime > 3, k is prime to xy. Assertion: If (1) has solutions then (2) has no solutions. Any helpful comments about the correctness of the assertion will be... more »

Source of term "multiplication" in matrix multiplication 
  Recently, the question was asked in comp.lang.c why matrix multiplication (a rather complex operation not obviously related to ordinary mulitplication) is known as multiplication. Hypotheses have included the fact that matrix multiplication of nxn matriices corresponds to the "multiplication" operation in the... more »

Can you use the word "assigning" to mean "mapping"? 
  Dear NG, Recently my supervisor got annoyed when I wrote : let f:A-->B be a monomorphism assigning each x in A to f(x) in B blablabla. He said I should replace the word "assigning" to "mapping".. though I personally don't think this is something that results into confusion. I think one can use the word "assigning" every now and then to mean... more »

Is Shannon's Entropy invariant to the mean value!! 
  Hi, Assuming any pdf p(X; mu, sigma) and an entropy function "entropy"; Does entropy(p(X, mu, sigma))==entropy(p(X, mu+a, sigma))?? if so what are the characteristics of shannon's entropy regarding scaling, and offsetting mu and sigma!? Regards.

Laurent series question 
  Let f be analytic in C\{-1,3}, and -1, 3 are simple poles of f. can sum{n = - oo, n = -1} a_n (z-2)^n be a Laurent series of f in 1<|z-2|<3 ? (probably the answer should be "no")

I Think Therefore I Am - rebuttal 
  Descartes said "I Think Therefore I Am", and if you are like me then you too may have questioned this as a basis for "establishing existence by means of physical experiment". That is what Descartes did. He used a physical experiment, the process of thought itself, and he observes that he thinks, and his conclusion... more »

RELATIVITY INCOMPATIBLE WITH QUANTUM MECHANICS OR WITH ITSELF? 
  From 1907 on Einstein claims that, in a gravitational field, the speed of light is VARIABLE, not constant (nowadays most Einsteinians claim the opposite - nobody sees the contradiction and nobody cares). In 1911 Einstein is explicitly using Newton's emission theory of light in order to show how the speed of light varies with the gravitational... more »
