Dedekind Cuts - Constructing the Real Numbers (Step 5 Part 2) #4.3.1.4f
Показать описание
Constructing the real numbers with Dedekind Cuts. Here we continue step five, beginning the proof of the multiplicative inverse.
At last we are going to prove that real numbers exist! Using Dedekind Cuts. In this video we begin the proof that every cut has a multiplicative inverse. We define the set we want to examine, and in this video verify that it is in fact a cut.
After constructing the real number field, we will move on to the climax of this mini-series, proving the uniqueness of the real number field. We will then lay the foundation of multivariable calculus before moving on to complex numbers.
It turns out Elliptic Curves over Complex Numbers are central to Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. With the first videos on this channel, we managed to keep the math very simple, almost exclusively nothing more advanced than algebra. Now, to complete our brief tour of elliptic curves, we have to take an ENORMOUS leap forward in the level of the mathematics involved.
I want to make sure we are all on the same page before we begin learning the more advanced stuff in earnest. I am going to assume we are all familiar with high school math and college math through first or second year calculus. I'm going to introduce complex numbers and complex integration in some detail with the next several videos. We need to examine multivariable calculus as well.
This series will culminate with the Weierstrass Equation, which is the thing that connects elliptic curves to complex numbers, and thus allows us to connect them to modular forms, which is what Wiles's proof is all about.
Here is the outline of this series on complex numbers:
0. Introduction
1. The Real Number System (We are here)
2. Complex Numbers
3. Complex Functions
4. Exponential and Trigonometric Functions
5. Complex Integration
6. Cauchy's Integral Theorem
7. Cauchy's Integral Formula
8. Laurent Series
9. Complex Residues
10. Lattices and Doubly Periodic Functions
11. Lattices and Tori and Groups
12. The Weierstrass p-Function
13. The Weierstrass Equation: Complex Functions and Elliptic Curves
