Well the question may seem obvious but I can't really find a proper answer to this. Mathematics all seem kind of difficult to understand so please help. I believe it is a quantity. Thanks in advance.i am mainly confused about using numbers and using numbers with units.the second one makes sense but i cant understand the first one
We've just been learning about complex numbers in class, and I don't really see why they're called numbers.  Originally, a number used to be a means of counting (natural numbers).  Then we extend these numbers to instances of owing other people money for instance (integers).  After that, we consider fractions when we need to split things like 2 pizzas between three people.  We then (skipping the algebraic numbers for the purposes of practicality), we use the real numbers to describe any length; e.g. the length of a diagonal of a unit square.  But this is when our original definition of a number fails to make sense- when we consider complex numbers, which brings me to my main question: what is a rigorous definition of 'number'?  Wikipedia claims that "A number is a mathematical object used to count, label, and measure", but this definition fails to make sense after we extend $\mathbb{R}$.     Does anyone know of any definition of number that can be generalised to complex numbers as well (and even higher order number systems like the quaternions)?
Aside from the repetitive appearance of the black cat, I can't remember seeing any living animals, either inside the Matrix simulation or in Zion.  How come? Is there an in-universe explanation? How to create a separate subnet for wireless access? I need to configure my wireless router so all wireless devices are on a different subnet (192.168.2.1).  The wireless devices should be able to access the internet, but ideally not the workstations on the LAN.  Here is my network:    All suggestions welcome! How do I hide an element when printing a web page? I have a link on my webpage to print the webpage. However, the link is also visible in the printout itself.  Is there javascript or HTML code which would hide the link button when I click the print link?  Example:   "Good Evening"  Print (click Here To Print)   I want to hide this "Print" label when it prints the text "Good Evening". The "Print" label should not show on the printout itself.

What Did Lyanna Stark Say to Ned Stark? In the final episode of season 6 we see that Lyanna Stark is whispering something to Ned. What is she saying? Just looking for the difference between   2&gt;&amp;- 2&gt;/dev/null |&amp; &amp;&gt;/dev/null &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1   and their portability with non-Bourne shells like tcsh, mksh, etc. What is Java's answer to WPF? Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence of real numbers.  Prove that if there exists $x$ such that every subsequence $(x_{n_k})$ of $(x_n)$ has a convergent (sub-)subsequence $(x_{n_{k_l}})$ to $x$, then the original sequence $(x_n)$ itself converges to $x$ .              Thanks for any help. In classical logic, why is $(p\Rightarrow q)$ True if both $p$ and $q$ are False? I am studying entailment in classical first-order logic.  The Truth Table we have been presented with for the statement $(p \Rightarrow q)\;$ (a.k.a. '$p$ implies $q$') is: $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline p&amp;q&amp;p\Rightarrow q\\ \hline T&amp;T&amp;T\\ T&amp;F&amp;F\\ F&amp;T&amp;T\\ F&amp;F&amp;T\\\hline \end{array}$$  I 'get' lines 1, 2, and 3, but I do not understand line 4.      Why is the statement $(p \Rightarrow q)$ True if both p and q are False?  We have also been told that $(p \Rightarrow q)$ is logically equivalent to $(~p || q)$ (that is $\lnot p \lor q$).  Stemming from my lack of understanding of line 4 of the Truth Table, I do not understand why this equivalence is accurate.       Administrative note. You may experience being directed here even though your question was actually about line 3 of the truth table instead. In that case, see the companion question  And even if your original worry was about line 4, it might be useful to skim the other question anyway; many of the answers to either question attempt to explain both lines. Calibre stopped working recently. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

I tried installing via command line and the software installer/updater GUI. I'm on version Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I made sure that my software in general is up to date also. Suppose that $f$ is holomorphic on $\mathbb C$ and that $\Re(f(z))\ge 0$ for all $z$. Show that $f$ is constant. [Hint: consider $e^{−f(z)}$.]   My thoughts: If $\Re(f(z))\ge 0 $ holds, then $e^{−f(z)}$ is a bounded holomorphic function (do I need to prove this or is it obvious?) So then by Liouville's Theorem $e^{−f(z)}$ is constant.   But then I'm not sure how to rigorously go from this $\exp(−f(z))$ back to $f(z)$.   Could anyone help me piece this together please?  Thanks In Walter Rudin's Principles of mathematical analysis Exercise 5.21, it is proved that for any closed subset $E\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, there exists a smooth function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $E=\{x\in \mathbb{R}\mid f(x)=0\}$.   Since $E^c$ is open in $\mathbb{R}$, $E^c$ is a countable disjoint union of open intervals $(a_i,b_i)$. On an interval $(a,b)$, if we let $f(x)=\exp(\frac{1}{(x-a)(x-b)})$, $x\in(a,b)$; $f(x)=0$, $x\notin(a,b)$, ($f(x)=\exp(\frac{1}{(x-a)})$ or $f(x)=\exp(\frac{1}{(x-b)})$ on $(a,\infty)$ and $(-\infty,b)$ resp.), then $f$ is smooth. Hence we can get a smooth function on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $E$ is the zero point sets of $f$.  (1). How about a closed subset $E$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$? is it true that for any closed subset $E\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, there exists a smooth function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $E=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^n\mid f(x)=0\}$?  An open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ cannot be written as a disjoint union of countable open balls hence the proof above is not valid. The partition of unity only claims that for an  open set $U$, there exists open $V$ in $U$ such that $\bar V\subseteq U$ and a smooth function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $supp f\subseteq U$, $f|_V=1$.   (2). The taylor series of $f(x)=\exp(\frac{1}{(x-a)(x-b)})$ does not converge around points $a,b$ hence $f$ is not analytic at $a,b$. Is it true that for any closed subset $E\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, there exists an analytic function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$ such that $E=\{x\in \mathbb{R}\mid f(x)=0\}$? I am foreign graduate student in USA. I recently completed my undergrad (from USA) and have a bit of money saved up. I know that F1 students cannot work off campus and other business activities such stock trading etc are prohibited as well. I wanted to know if opening an account in an investment management firm like Charles Schwabb or Betterment is allowed. I would not be working but I will still be earning a small interest on my deposits. If that is not allowed, are there any good and legal ways for foreign students to earn a little interest on savings? Each site got a &quot;hot&quot; tab, where its contents are calculated based on . However take a look on the screenshots below and see for yourself that &quot;hot&quot; got nothing to do with many of the questions listed there. :    :    As you can see, there are questions with negative score, no answers, and even closed. I won't be surprised to see spam in there as well. This can't be any worse. What I suggest, instead of fixing the formula or patching it, simply have the hot tab show the same questions as the Hot Network Questions sidebar. (from the specific site only, of course.) Since the hot questions &quot;pool&quot; (as seen ) is limited to 100 for the whole network, either expand it or have the per-site list show questions with less hotness points - it would still be better than what we have now. How to make traces on an universal PCB? I hope this question won't be closed as too subjective. I'd like to know best practice - how to make traces on universal PCB's with individual holes without traces (like the following image). My idea is to bend the ends of discrete components and use them to make traces to other components. Is this approach acceptable, or nasty? Although this is called "prototype" PCB, I'd like to use it for my simple final circuits (low frequency, low current applications), because I hope it will save time. Entity Query field condition for Webform submissions I'm trying to query webform submissions based on a field value. The field is called "ticket_for".

Problem  I have various footnotes, which are hyperlinked from the text to the bottom of their respective pages. When I click on the hyperlinks (in the main text), they always take me to the first page of my document.

Edited MWE  After a lot of deletion, I have managed to reduce the document to the following lines.
