AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating the sum of odd powers, specifically the series 1^m + 3^m + 5^m + ... + (2n+1)^m. It highlights the relationship between this sum and the normal sum of integers raised to the power m, noting the involvement of Bernoulli Polynomials. Participants suggest starting the evaluation by expressing (2k+1)^m as a binomial expansion. The conversation emphasizes the importance of breaking down the series into manageable components for calculation. Overall, the evaluation of this sum involves advanced mathematical concepts and techniques.

how can i evaluate the sum $$
1^m+3^m+5^m+ ....................(2n+1)^{m} $$



for the case of the normal sum $$ 1^m +2^m +........................+n^, $$ for positive 'm' i know they are related to the Bernoulli Polynomials

You want to calculate ##\sum_{k=0}^m(2k+1)^m.## Next, ##(2k+1)^m=\sum_{j=0}^m \binom{m}{j}(2k)^j.## I would start with that.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
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 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
