    Series Summation
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a symbol for a vector of observations that avoids implying multiplication or summation, specifically for expressing inequalities among means of genotypes. The user seeks clarification on whether the symbol Pi is appropriate for this purpose. There is a suggestion that the notation could be represented as a series of inequalities between different genotype means. Additionally, guidance is provided on how to format mathematical expressions using LaTeX. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in representing statistical relationships without ambiguity.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but I was trying to find the symbol used for a vector of observations that doesn't implicitly infre multiplication or summation. I'm trying to express an inequality at the simple and general levels so that

\muAa \ne \muAA, \muaa

The idea is that this inequality should apply to means for factors (genotypes) at a single effect (a gene in this case), and more generally to the system of all means for all factors at all effects. Is that Pi that I should be using? I can't remember and can't find it.

I don't quite understand you. Are you simply trying to say that one vector of observations does not equal another?
In that case, it would be
Can you elaborate a little more on what you need?
Also, to type $\LaTeX$, use and $ symbols or $$[\MATH] tags.
 
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation has no solutions with positive integers if It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
