| | As an undergraduate the proofs I saw of the Sylow theorems seemed very complicated and I was totally unable to remember them. The goal of this post is to explain proofs of the Sylow theorems which I am actually able to remember, several of which use our old friend The $latex p$-group fixed point theorem...

| | Test your intuition: is the following true or false? Assertion 1: If $latex A$ is a square matrix over a commutative ring $latex R$, the rows of $latex A$ are linearly independent over $latex R$ if and only if the columns of $latex A$ are linearly independent over $latex R$. (All rings in this post...

| To visualize quaternions in the fanciest way, visit Ben eater, Quaternion. Euler angles suffer from a problem of gimbal lock. When rotating around a 3-perpendicular axis in euclidean space, if either two of these axes align i.e becomes parallel, it causes gimbal lock. Once the object is locked, the object will lose one degree of freedom for rotation. This video provides an intuitive explanation of the problem. Pitfalls When converting the Euler angle to a quaternion, it will lose some information.
