Delayed erasure (Kim experiment)
Delayed erasure experiment
$x^{p-1} + ... + x^2 + x + 1$ is irreducible using Eisenstein's criterion? Eisenstein's criterion says that for a prime $p$ if the following conditions are satisfied for a primitive polynomial, $f(x)$, then that polynomial is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$  $p \mid a_0, a_0, ..., a_{n-1}$   $p \not\mid a_n$  $p^2 \not\mid a_0^2$  Now I am almost certain I read somewhere that this lemma can be used to prove that the polynomial $x^{p-1} + x^{p-2} + ... + x^2 + x + 1$ is irreducible.  All coefficients are $1$ though and we have have an awkward amount of terms, $p - 1$ terms as opposed to $p$ terms - so how can Eisenstein's criterion be applied here? Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier Rerender funnel highcharts with new data Atiyah-Macdonald, Exercise 5.4 I was having some trouble with the following exercise from Atiyah-Macdonald.     Let $A$ be a subring of $B$ such that $B$ is integral over $A$. Let $\mathfrak{n}$ be a maximal ideal of $B$ and let $\mathfrak{m}=\mathfrak{n} \cap A$ be the corresponding maximal ideal of $A$. Is $B_{\mathfrak{n}}$ integral over $A_{\mathfrak{m}}$?   The book gives a hint which serves as a counter-example. Consider the subring $k[x^{2}-1]$ of $k[x]$ where $k$ is a field, and let $\mathfrak{n}=(x-1)$. I am trying to show that $1/(x+1)$ could not be integral over $k[x^{2}-1]_{\mathfrak{n}^{c}}$.  I have understood why this situation serves as a counterexample. But I am essentially stuck at trying to draw a contradiction. A hint or any help would be great. I'm trying to use arcpy to save an .mxd and am having an issue.  It doesn't matter if I use mxd.save or mxd.saveACopy I get the same error.  I know it doesn't look like I am doing anything w/ it here, but it's just a portion of my code:  import arcpy import arcpy.mapping as map arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True  env.workspace = r"C:\MGIS\FinalProject2.gdb     mxd = map.MapDocument(r"C:\MGIS\Finalproject2.mxd") df = map.ListDataFrames(mxd)[0]  for df in map.ListDataFrames(mxd): df.scale = 2000000  #Add layers into map document addLayer = map.Layer(OKXcounties) addLayer1 = map.Layer(contourLabelText) addLayer2 = map.Layer(contoursClipLyr) addLayer3 = map.Layer(clipOKXLyr) map.AddLayer(df, addLayer, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer1, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer2, "AUTO_ARRANGE") map.AddLayer(df, addLayer3, "AUTO_ARRANGE")  # Add contour Labels for lyr in map.ListLayers(mxd):     if lyr.name == "contourLabelText":         lyr.showLabels = True     if lyr.name == "Contour Features":         lyr.transparency = 100  mxd.saveACopy(mxd)   I get the following error:   Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 312, in RunScript     exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__   File "C:\MGIS\geog485\FinalProject2\mxdtest.py", line 7, in &lt;module&gt;     mxd.saveACopy(mxd)   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 181, in fn_     return fn(*args, **kw)   File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy\arcpy\_mapping.py", line 668, in saveACopy     self._arc_object.saveACopy(file_name) AttributeError: MapDocObject: Unable to save.  Check to make sure you have write access to the specified file and that there is enough space on the storage device to hold your document.   Space is not the issue, I have 60 GB of free space and I've checked the windows properties of the .mxd file.  Read-only box is unchecked and I've "allowed" all permissions for all groups:    Does anyone have any idea how if this is a bug or how I can fix this?  I'm using ArcInfo 10.0 SP4.

Annuity notation in LaTeX How do you write this in LaTeX: Proving a limit of a trigonometric function: $\lim_{x \to 2/\pi}\lfloor \sin \frac{1}{x} \rfloor=0$ systemd gives us the systemctl commands suite which is mostly used to enable services to start at boot time. We can also start, stop, reload, restart and check status of services with the help of systemctl.  We can do, for example, sudo systemctl enable service_name, and service_name will automatically start at boot time. We can also disable services not to start at boot time.  Is the only difference between the service and systemctl commands that systemctl can be used to enable the start of services at run time? Can we use systemctl on any service? What other significant differences are there? I'm training a neural network for regression. The input vector consists of $140$ entries.   For each feature vector entry, I calculate both min and max over the training set. The difference max-min of some entries are smaller than 1e-5. I understand I can normalize such feature entries by say MinMaxScalar. However, if the difference max-min is this small, can I discard such entries since they seem to be so insensitive? A generic list of anonymous class Windows wildcards with files having more than 3 characters extensions On Windows 7, I have a directory containing the following four files:   xxx.txt xxx.txt2 xxx2.txt xxx2.txt2   With the file have more than 3 character as a file extension, the behavior of the wildcard * seems odd:  dir *.txt  10/13/2014  04:14 PM                 6 xxx.txt 10/13/2014  04:17 PM                 6 xxx2.txt 10/13/2014  04:17 PM                 6 xxx2.txt2 10/13/2014  04:14 PM                 6 xxx.txt2            4 File(s)             24 bytes            0 Dir(s)   6,660,980,736 bytes free   I would expect to see only the two files with txt extension and not the ones with txt2 (like it would on a Linux machine). Does MS-DOS ignore the truncate the file extension to 3 characters or does it add automatically another wildcard at the end? If I want to delete only the files with txt extension and not the one with txt2, which command should I use? Thanks Force floats to be typeset after their occurrence in the source text?

Let $f:[0;1]\to\mathbb R$ be continiously differentiable What Is the Real Name of the #? I used to say "sharp sign" to refer to the # sign.   Today a friend told me that the correct term is number sign or hash sign or even just hash.  What is the difference between these options and what's the correct usage of the names for this sign? Ubuntu 18.10: visual artifacts (black bar) in dock if extend-height is disabled I am using the default Ubuntu dock with bottom placement and org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock extend-height set to false. With Ubuntu 18.10 this produces a noticeable visual glitch, note the black empty spaces at the edges of the dock:    I am getting this both on an upgraded system and on a clean install inside a VM. This was working fine in Ubuntu 18.04. Also happens if the theme is set to something else than Yaru (the default theme in Ubuntu 18.10). Reboot does not help. Dock looks OK if extend-height is enabled.  Any ideas on how to fix this? Why is my total reputation less than my monthly reputation? When I went to the  to see my ranking in the reputation league, I saw this. Is this an error? My total reputation is less than my monthly reputation.
