AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a palindromic number A, which is the product of two palindromic primes B and C, within the range of 1000 to 2000. It is clarified that while A must be a palindrome, it cannot be a prime number since it is a product of B and C. B is specified to be a two-digit palindromic prime, while C is a three-digit palindromic prime. The participants engage in resolving the conditions for A, emphasizing the constraints on B and C. The conversation highlights the mathematical properties of palindromic numbers and primes.

[sp]If A is the product of B and C how can A be prime?[/sp]

sorry! A is a palindrome but not a prime
 
only 2 digit palinodromic prime is B = 11
A < 2000 and is of the form 1aa1
from this and C is palinodrom and prime we have C < 2000/11 and C >=100 hence C = 101 or 131 or 151 or 181
giving A = 1111, 1441, 1661, 1881

so we have following combinations (1111 = 1 1 * 101, 1441 = 11 * 131, 1661 = 11 * 151, 1991 = 11 * 181
 
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...
