A system of ordinary differential equations can produce three qualitatively different long-term behaviors—trajectories that never repeat,...
Hilbert Spaces 5 | Proof of Jordan-von Neumann Theorem [dark version]
A normed space becomes a genuine Hilbert space exactly when its norm obeys the parallelogram law. That criterion—Jordan–von Neumann’s theorem—turns a...
Fourier Transform 18 | Dirichlet Kernel [dark version]
Dirichlet kernel D_n sits at the heart of Fourier series: it turns a partial Fourier sum into an integral (or convolution/inner product) built from...
Basic Topology 3 | Closed Sets and Closure
Closed sets in topology are defined purely through complements: a subset B of a topological space X is closed exactly when X \ B is open. That...
Manifolds 40 | Integral Over A Chart Is Well-Defined [dark version]
A manifold integral built from a volume form doesn’t depend on which coordinate chart is used—as long as all charts preserve orientation. The key...

Diagonalizable matrices are exactly the square matrices that admit a full set of eigenvectors—enough to rebuild every vector in the space—so the...
Abstract Linear Algebra 34 | Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors for Linear Maps
Eigenvectors and eigenvalues for a linear map are defined by a simple “scaling” condition: a nonzero vector X is an eigenvector of L if L(X) lands in...
