Dual spaces 2001-11-26
From Hoda:
In the book "Linear Functional Analysis" from Epstein there is a proof (page 116) of the following theorem:

The dual space of Lp is equal to Lq.

Later, it is stated as a theorem without proof that

for 1 <= p < +infinite, The dual space of lp is equal to lq.

Commas in numbers 2001-09-06
From Mike:
When did the Ontario Education system drop the use of commas in large numbers and replace with a space? Why?
Answered by Walter Whiteley.
Why the change from commas between every 3rd digit, to spaces instead? 2001-01-03
From Clarende Duby:
Why the change from commas between every 3rd digit, to spaces instead? For example: Three million three hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three written like: 3 333 333 instead of 3,333,333? Does it have something to do with standardizing mathematical notation worldwide?

Networks of satellites and linear spaces 2000-12-08
From David:
Let us suppose some companies have collaborated to place several satellites in orbit. Let us call the set of all satellites that a given company helped place in orbit a network. Finally let us assume the following 4 rules.
  1. There are at least two distinct satellites.


  2. For each pair of satellites there is exactly one network containing them.


  3. Each network contains at least two distinct satellites.


  4. For each network, there is a satellite not in it.

What is the least number of satellites.

what is the least number of networks?
