Ordinal numbers | Paradoxes of naive set theory

Burali-Forti paradox

In set theory, a field of mathematics, the Burali-Forti paradox demonstrates that constructing "the set of all ordinal numbers" leads to a contradiction and therefore shows an antinomy in a system that allows its construction. It is named after Cesare Burali-Forti, who, in 1897, published a paper proving a theorem which, unknown to him, contradicted a previously proved result by Cantor. Bertrand Russell subsequently noticed the contradiction, and when he published it in his 1903 book Principles of Mathematics, he stated that it had been suggested to him by Burali-Forti's paper, with the result that it came to be known by Burali-Forti's name.

Beltrami Identity Derivation

The Beltrami Identity is a necessary condition for the Euler-Lagrange equation (so if it solves the E-L equation, it solves the Beltrami identity). Here it is derived from the total derivative of the integrand (e.g. Lagrangian).

The Euler Mascheroni Constant

I define one of the most important constants in mathematics, the Euler-Mascheroni constant. It intuitively measures how far off the harmonic series 1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/n is from ln(n). In this video, I show that the constant must exist. It is an open problem to figure out if the constant is

The golden ratio | Lecture 3 | Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio

The classical definition of the golden ratio. Two positive numbers are said to be in the golden ratio if the ratio between the larger number and the smaller number is the same as the ratio between their sum and the larger number. Phi=(1+sqrt(5))/2 approx 1.618. Join me on Coursera: http

A problem with Bohmian Mechanics? Contextuality

'Contextuality' might mean that there are no alternatives to Quantum mechanics that are sensible. Given Quantum isn't sensible either, there may just not be any sensible theories at all. RUSSIAN SUBS AVAILABLE. Thank you to my amazing friend Daniel who offered his time to do this!

Math for Liberal Studies - Lecture 2.7.2 Hamilton's Method and Apportionment Paradoxes

This is the second video lecture for Math for Liberal Studies Section 2.7: Apportionment. In this video, we learn how to use Hamilton's Method to assign a whole number of seats to each state based on their population. We also discuss several "paradoxes" that result from this method.
