In this video, I find all functions f that satisfy f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y). Enjoy this amazing adventure through calculus, analysis, and linear algebra. Enjoy!

As soon as the y changes to h it's like "OHH here come the derivatives" lol

I had this problem in a math competition a while ago and I used the f(m/n) = m/n f(1) method, but I never thought to use derivatives!

When is a linear function not a linear function?
This video illustrates very nicely the two different meanings of the term linear function in Maths. Your final f is not linear in a functions sense but is linear in a linear algebra sense.
After a few moments of thinking about this problem I realised that without the assumption of continuity, one has to think of R as a vector space over Q, and then f can be any linear function (mapping R to R as vector spaces over Q). You can then choose any basis for R over Q (with a bit of help from the axiom of choice) and then assign any values to f on each basis element. This is essentially what you said, but I don't think you mentioned the axiom of choice.

I was hoping that you'll also talk about functions with discrete domain. for example, defined over natural numbers.

Just in synch with Socratica coming back to her Group Theory series with an episode on Homomorphisms.

In measure theory we showed that the image of any interval [a, b], a, b element R under an additive, but not linear function f is not bounded.
Which blew my mind

I always wondered why linearity was defined with both conditions! Thanks!

Beware of the anti-axiom of choice crowd. They don't take kindly to these sorts of shenanigans.

A ha! You've assumed that all vector spaces indeed *have* a basis! Very sneaky. Just kidding; pretty much everybody now accepts the Axiom of Choice. It's just too tempting to bring it up whenever it's used.

A ques appeared in my exam just days ago based on additive functions and I solved it just because I've seen this video

I'm here again to thank you !

This "Cauchy's equation" showed up in the IMO qualifier I was in... good old time.
I found the general solution by claiming there is a set of "basic" irrational numbers. Thus the word "basis" makes perfect sense to me.
Well I wasn't able to explain my answer LOL. Maybe that's how I got kicked out.

I found it really useful, thank you so much for making this videos

This almost feels like it’s leading to the concept of impulse functions and convolutions. A very important concept in signal processing.

Was very profound! If you multiply the Dirichlet-function with x you get also a function that is linear on both: rational and irrational numbers, but that is not linear on the real numbers.

12:00 we could have taken 1 instead of √2
So the function is 0 on irrational numbers and Cx on rationals

I really.... liked Galois Theory. Nice Video, greetings from Germany

You remind me of a guy I asked to work with. Except you're a dr. And good at math lol

Thanks a lot for making these videos, I'm currently studying for a test and this video helped me out a lot

Great work! 😀
Now solve the equation in the most general case, f is a function from V to W where V and W are vector spaces. 😁
