👍 That’s beautifully an example of using Physics to prove Math.
金庸武术的道理 和学数学一样:
1)华山正邪二派 : 气宗 (正) vs 剑宗 (邪)
数学:数学理论 vs 刷题技巧
2)虚竹 :忘掉以前的少林功夫才能学 消遥派
数学: 忘掉A-level 前的思维 (concrete) ,才能学好大学抽象(Abstract ) 数学.
3) 少林寺僧好高鹜远:还没学精本派“一阳指”,就想去换 印度鸠摩罗的功夫。
数学: 先打好 大学基础数学 (Epsilon-Delta, Abstract Algebraic Structures) ,才去学其他的高深东西 (Category, Differential Geometry, Algebraic Topology,… )

理查德·费曼非常聪明的求导 differentiate 技巧
Feymann (Nobel Physicist) has many funny speedy Math tricks for Calculus eg. Differentiate an Integral (Applied Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) , and this one below.
This is a free video lecture series of the Princeton Math Textbook 《Calculus Lifesaver》(link Amazon.com) for university non-math majors.
He explains the “funny” but smart Calculus basics : First & 2nd Fundamental Theorems of Calculus (by Newton’s co-inventor Leibniz), some how never taught in the 1970s GCE A level (now also ? ) bcos not Newton’s Anglo-saxxon invention. Neither the French textbooks teach so (bcos Leibniz was German ?). They only appear in pure American/German Calculus books.
“Funny” bcos by “1st Theorem” you could ‘d/dx’ any intergral to get the anti-derivative . Richard Feymann self-learnt this trick in High school to solve complex integrations.
Also why the “Coset” (+ C) is explained by the 2nd Theorem in this video.
群论的原本是Galois 发明,没有现在这么抽象的Axiom-based, 是100年后 Noether 在 WW2 归纳的抽象化。Galois 只发明 左/右陪集 Left /Right Coset (l’ensemble à gauche / à droite),当 左陪集=右陪集,就是Normal subgroup (正规子群,l’invariant), 破解300年的数学难题:5次方程以上(Quintic equations & above ) 无根式 (radical root) 解, 从而诞生Group Theory, 开辟抽象代数Abstract Algebra / New Math.
这位中国年轻老师 教得很棒, 证明严谨rigorous, 很好的方法:eg. Test “well-defined”, necessary & sufficient condition (Set Prove Technique : ⊂ left inclusion, ⊃ right inclusion, then equal =), Bijection 双射 (Surjective 满射 trivial + Injective proof).
他的习题答案:
|Z : nZ|Index is easy ?
意思:
把 Z 用coset 分类 (partitioned) 为
0Z,1Z, 2Z,… (n-1)Z 个陪集,
Total = n个
|Z : nZ|= n
Note: Coset in Calculus ( Indefinite Integration) :
Integral Solution “+ C” 就是 Right Coset = solution的右陪集:意思所有 “+C” 都是solution Set 的 右陪伴。

【函数概念并不难,理解“函”字是关键——函数概念如何理解】
https://m.toutiaocdn.com/group/6714162037842248205/?app=news_article_lite×tamp=1563301386&req_id=201907170223060101520450386849493&group_id=6714162037842248205&tt_from=android_share&utm_medium=toutiao_android&utm_campaign=client_share
清. 李善兰 翻译 Function 为函数。函,信也。只能有一个收信人,所以 只有一个 f(x) 值。
…
The unique 1 single output of a function becomes very important for subsequent development in Math & IT:
functions are composable, associative, identify function,etc (distributive,… ) => it can be treated like vector => structure of a Vector Space “Vect”
Extended to..
“Vect” is a bigger structure “Category” in which “function of functions” is a
“Functor” (函子)F:F(f)
Example : F(f) = fmap (in Haskell)
fmap (+1) {2,7,6,3}
=> {3,8,7,4}
here F = fmap, f = +1
The Math branch in the study of functions is called “functional” 泛函。
IT : Functional Programming in Lisp, Haskell, Scala, ensure safety of guaranteed output by math function property. Any unexpected exception (side effects: IO, errors) is handled by a special function called “Monad” (endo-Functor).

Baccalaureate Scientifique Math 2019 (Analyse).
Yet to see the Baccalaureate (S) Paper 1 “Algèbre” which is tougher on Abstract Algebra (Group, Ring, Field, Vector Space / Linear Algebra,…)
The integration is meaningless if
$latex displaystyle {int x^{x} dx}&fg=00aa00&s=3$
unless specifying the domain of defintion, eg. interval [0,1] :
$latex displaystyle {int_{0}^{1} x^{x} dx = frac {pi^{2}}{12} }&fg=aa0000&s=3$
Note: Gamma function proof by Feynman trick : differentiate under integral.
DEMO:
$latex boxed{a = a^{a^{a^ {{…}^{a}}}}}&fg=aa0000&s=3$ $latex text {…. [A] } $
$latex text {Let } a = sqrt {2} $

Modern Math Foundation : Set + Logic (Equivalence Relation).
A level (H2 level) / International Baccalauréat Math should study the big red square box (Number System, Set Theory, Logic).
All STEM university Year 1 & 2 study these 3 Math foundations : Algebra, Analysis & Vector Space.
The Math major university Year 3&4 study more : real /complex analysis, Topology, Galois Theory, graph theory, etc…
This “Modern Math” Introductory Course is based on the French Baccalaureate “Modern Math” for 16+ years old, simplified & customized for local students in Chinese.
(1)集合: 等价关系 Equivalence Relation
(2)集合与集合的关系:映射 Mapping
(3) 新数 历史: Bourbaki 学派
(4)由外向内看代数结构 : 域Field,环 Ring,群 Group,向量空间 Vector Space
(5) 域 Field : 足球场
Please explain the Number Theory behind this trick :$latex boxed{frac {a } {b}= frac {frac {a}{b-a}}{frac {b}{b-a}}} &fg=aa0000&s=4$
Example: $latex 246 – 205 = 41$
$latex boxed {frac {205} {246}= frac {frac {205}{41}}{frac {246}{41}}=frac{5}{6}&fg=0000aa&s=3}$
…
Example:
27759 – 10227 = 17532 = 2 x 8766 = 2 x (2 x 4383) = 2 x 2 x (3 x 1461) = 2 x 2 x 3 x (3 x 487 )
$latex boxed {frac {10227} {27759}= frac {frac {10227}{1461}}{frac {27759}{1461}}=frac{7}{19}&fg=00aa00&s=3}$

This young Chinese Math student is quite rigorous :
Given f(x) CONTINOUS function,
Is it wrong to f'(x) right away?
Differential Theorem
If f differentiable at point a => f continuous at point a
Converse not true !
‘Differentiability’ stronger than ‘Continuity’
Are all Continuous functions Differentiable ? False!
Counter-example (by Weierstrass):
$Latex f(x)=Sigma{b^n}cos(a^npi x)$ n ∈[0,8], a= odd number, b∈[0,1], ab > 1+3Π/2
f(x) Continuous everywhere (cosine), but non-differentiable everywhere!
Note: Weierstrass Function is the first known fractal. (e.g. Snowflake Koch’s curve).

Note: What it means a curve (function) is :
1. Continuous = not broken curve
2. Differentiable = no pointed ‘V‘ or ‘W‘ shape curve

Complete Free COUSERA Course 《Galois Theory》 (French) from Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS 巴黎师范) , the university which kicked out Galois as a student in1830, but apologized to him 150 years later.
Today ENS ranked top 3 globally (after Harvard, Princeton IAS) in Math research & education, producing 1/3 of the world’s Fields Medalists by a single university.

He uses the Chinese “drill” style + American “think” style to beat China IMO Team last few years.

To really appreciate music, you must understand this Math & history :
5 notes to 7 notes to 12 notes.
& fractions: 3/2, 3/4, 2/1 (octave)
Music = Math + History
1. Ancient China 600 BC 管仲 (5 notes 宫商角徵zhǐ羽)
2. Pythagoras 450 BC (7 notes, Chords 和弦)
3. Modern Music: 十二平均律 (明朝 1600 AD 朱载堉- > Bach 1700 AD)
Pythagoras did not believe in Irrational numbers (sqroot 2) , so only 7 integer notes.
17CE Chinese 明朝 Prince invented 12 notes music, using a giant 81-row Abacus to compute the12th root of 2 (picture below) :

Historical Background:
Ideal (理想) was a by-product by mathematicians in the 350-year proof of the 17CE Fermat’s Last Theorem, wherein they found a violation of the existing “Fundemental Law of Arithmetic” (Unique Prime Factorization) . Since it is a Law, there must be an alternative ideal number to satisfy it, hence the birth of the “Ideal”.
Read here: the raison d’être of Ideal : What is an Ideal ?
Note:
Why Integer (Z) is called “Ring” (Dedekind coined it using the German word “Der Ring”) ? because
{1, 2, … , 11, 12 = 0} is clock number “Z/12Z” like a Ring-shaped Clock 🕜
Application:
The ancient “Chinese Remainder Theorem” (aka 韩信点兵 ) since 200 BCE is explained by 19CE Ideal Theory.

This “Simple Car Parking” is the Decision Making Strategy demonstrated in our daily life, even in the micro-cell biological level in nature.
In the current USA-China Trade War, China Xi is taking the Prudent (中庸) approach of a partial 80% deal, while Trump is too Optimistic (or gung-ho) , insisting to accept either a “Full 100%” deal or None. Math tells you the smartest man’s approach is China Xi “Prudent” strategy.

Meek : 1/5 score = ‘Kiasu’ (怕输 )
Prudent : 3/5 score = (中庸 )
