In 2005, at age 33, Chau received the title of professor in Vietnam, becoming the country's youngest-ever professor. [12] Since 2007, Châu has worked at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, as well as the Hanoi Institute of Mathematics. [15] He joined the mathematics faculty at the University of Chicago on
In mathematics, specifically set theory, the continuum hypothesis (abbreviated CH) is a hypothesis about the possible sizes of infinite sets. It states: It states: There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers .
The Indian Olympiad Qualifier in Mathematics (IOQM) is a national exam for students in grades 8-12. It's used to shortlist students for HBCSE's Mathematical Olympiad program. Students must be under 20 years old by June 30 of the IMO year and cannot have passed Class 12.
[1] Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science, and the social sciences. Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent of any scientific experimentation.
In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector (sometimes called a geometric vector [1] or spatial vector [2]) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Euclidean vectors can be added and scaled to form a vector space.
The definition of ℵ 1 implies (in ZF, Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory without the axiom of choice) that no cardinal number is between ℵ 0 and ℵ 1. If the axiom of choice is used, it can be further proved that the class of cardinal numbers is totally ordered , and thus ℵ 1 is the second-smallest infinite cardinal number.
In mathematics, a metric space is a set where a notion of distance (called a metric) between elements of the set is defined. Much of analysis happens in some metric space; the most commonly used are the real line , the complex plane , Euclidean space , other vector spaces , and the integers .
An orientation on V is an assignment of +1 to one equivalence class and −1 to the other. [1] Every ordered basis lives in one equivalence class or another. Thus any choice of a privileged ordered basis for V determines an orientation: the orientation class of the privileged basis is declared to be positive.
