vea's MUEP Math help thread

[vea]

Hi pro mathematicians, this is just a thread for any problems I may encounter during my undertaking of MTH1040

First question to start things off,

What is the significance of the Cauchy Swarz inequality? I know how to prove it but I don't know what it means...

Thanks in advanced.

lol wth I did NOT do that.

There have been a lot of changes to the MUEP Math course since last year... not as easy anymore

[VCEMan94]

how you finding the assignment?

[m@tty]

Have you looked at wikipedia? That serves as a good first port of call.

As iffets said, we didn't do it last year.

First thing that comes to mind is the triangle inequality. But essentially it can be applied to n-dimensional inner products, very useful for proofs, finding out the range and etc.

Oh, and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle (quantum physics) is derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
