You have arrived on this page because you are clearly curious about underlying fundamentals that you can incorporate into your thought process when designing.  According to many that came before us, there are key principles that can be considered when creating an effective design. In the following answers, you will find useful theories from a variety of respected sources.

Here is the exercise:     Let $A$ be a $5\times5$ complex matrix such that $(A-2)^3(A+2)^2=0$, where we define $A-\mu:=A-\mu I$ for scalar $\mu$. Assume that $\lambda=2$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ and its geometric multiplicity is at least $2$. What are the possibilities for the Jordan canonical form (JCF)?   What I know so far from the assumption is that    the minimal polynomial of $A$ is of the form $f(x)=(x-2)^i(x+2)^j$ where $1\leq i\leq 3$ and $0\leq j\leq 2$.  The number of blocks in the Jordan segment $J(2)$ is at least $2$.    One can write the possible minimal polynomial one by one, which gives the information of the size of the largest block in each Jordan segment, and use the possible geometric multiplicity of $\lambda=2$ to find JCF.   Here are my questions:   Is there an alternative approach?  Can we use the characteristic polynomial of $A$ here? Half doesn't or half don't? Number of monic irreducible polynomials of prime degree $p$ over finite fields Suppose $F$ is a field s.t $\left|F\right|=q$. Take $p$ to be some prime. How many monic irreducible polynomials of degree $p$ do exist over $F$?   Thanks! My Prof wrote that   $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} n(n-1)x^{(n-2)} = \frac{2}{(1-x)^3}$  when $-1&lt; x&lt;1$  I do not understand where the above formula comes from. Can someone please explain the steps or provide a hint?   Thanks! What determines SPECIAL inheritance in children? I am trying to animate in 2d. I do it with planes that have textures on them. I recently came up with the idea of having a plane with an image sequence of mouths because animating actual lip syncing by hand takes too long and isn't really necessary for what I'm trying to acomplish. However, when playing back the animation in textured viewport shading the animated texture stays at the last frame until the animation stops. I can use the arrow keys and it works fine as well as scrubbing through the timeline, just not when playing back the animation with alt+a. Can anyone help me with this problem? During the re-tagging of questions, tags sometimes become orphaned from existing questions.  Are these zombie tags ever removed from the ?  What if a tag is misspelled and needs to be removed? How do we get rid of it? There's something wrong with the vertical alignment on the :   (click to enlarge)  On the , which uses a similar list but without the Favorite column, the vertical alignment is correct.

Version: Ubuntu 16.04  I have used it some weeks, but now it gives me this message when I'm trying to install software and update or upgrade:  Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) /var/lib/apt/lists/ locked   followed by this:    .  and another error:  ** (appstreamcli:4560): WARNING **: Exception: Unable to get write lock on /var/cache/app-info/xapian/default: already locked   What should I do? Stochastic processes book suggestions. I would like to find a book that introduces me gently to the subject of stochastic processes without sacrificing mathematical rigor. It would be great if the book has lots of examples and that the book is designed for undergraduates. Just like how there are rigorous undergraduate abstract algebra books (I am thinking of GAllian's contemporary modern algebra here).   I already studied measure theory, and prob. theory.  Thank you. Does there exists an Isomorphism between $\mathbb{C}^* $ under multiplication with $\mathbb{C}$ under addition.  Attempt In my opinion It does not exists.  If there exists such an isomorphism say $\phi :\mathbb{C}^* \to \mathbb{C}$ then, from the fact that Isomorphism takes identity to identity we have $$\phi \left( 1 \right)=0$$  From the fact      Given $\phi:G \to H$ be an isomorphism, then For a fixed integer $k$ and a fixed group element $b$ in $G$, the   equation $x^k=b$ has the same number of solutions in $G$ as does   the equation $x^k=\phi\left(b\right)$ in $H$.   We have $x^4=1$ and $x^4=0$ must have same number of solutions, but the solutions to these equations are 4 and 1 only. This is an exercise from Chapter 3 of Golan's linear algebra book.  Problem: Show $\mathbb{Z}$ is not a vector space over a field.  Solution attempt:  Suppose there is a such a field and proceed by contradiction. I will write multiplication $FV$, where $F$ is in the field and $V$ is an element of $\mathbb{Z}$.   First we rule out the case where the field has characteristic 2. We would have   $$0=(1_F+1_F)1=1_F1+1_F1=2$$  a contradiction.  Now, consider the case where the field does not have characteristic 2. Then there is an element $2^{-1}_F$ in the field, and   $1=2_F(2^{-1}_F1)=2^{-1}_F1+2^{-1}_F1$  Now $2^{-1}_F1\in\mathbb{Z}$ as it is an element of the vector space, but there is no element $a\in\mathbb{Z}$ with $2a=1$, so we have a contradiction.  Is this correct? Sum of nilpotent and element is a unit in ring? I can't tell where I went wrong, am still a beginner.    Let N be a nilpotent in a commutive ring , let X be any element.   I'll will be showing X + N is a unit .   Assume Y(X+N) =1   Then YX(N^n-1) =  N^n-1   Multiplying both side by  X+N   We get X(N^n-1) =  X(N^n-1)  Thus nilpotent summed with any element gives unit. Why is "can I get" replacing "could I have"? I noticed the other day when serving the public that when asking for something, people were saying "Can I get an xyz, please". The previous time I had such a job it was "Could I have an xyz", or "May I have..." if they were being very polite.  Does anyone know when this trend started and what caused it? Is there a website or some other way to find out if I need a transit visa for a short stop in the UK on my way somewhere else? Ideally this should give me the answer for all nationalities, and take into account any other visas I may have. Why can't I define a static method in a Java interface?
