| | This post is devoted to few convex and compact sets of matrices that I like. The set \( {\mathcal{C}_n} \) of correlation matrices. A real \( {n\times n} \) matrix \( {C} \) is a correlation matrix when \( {C} \) is symmetric, semidefinite positive, with unit diagonal. This means that \[ C_{ii}=1, \quad C_{ji}=C_{ji},\quad \left\geq0 \] for every \(...

| In my last blog post, I discussed a simple proof of the fact that pi is irrational. That pi is in fact transcendental was first proved in 1882 by Ferdinand von Lindemann, who showed that if $latex \alpha$ is a nonzero complex number and $latex e^\alpha$ is algebraic, then $latex \alpha$ must be transcendental. Since...
