- Why is $1 i$ equal to $-i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
11 There are multiple ways of writing out a given complex number, or a number in general Usually we reduce things to the "simplest" terms for display -- saying $0$ is a lot cleaner than saying $1-1$ for example The complex numbers are a field This means that every non-$0$ element has a multiplicative inverse, and that inverse is unique

Possible Duplicate: How do I convince someone that $1+1=2$ may not necessarily be true? I once read that some mathematicians provided a very length proof of $1+1=2$ Can you think of some way to
- What is the value of $1^i$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
There are infinitely many possible values for $1^i$, corresponding to different branches of the complex logarithm The confusing point here is that the formula $1^x = 1$ is not part of the definition of complex exponentiation, although it is an immediate consequence of the definition of natural number exponentiation
- If $A A^{-1} = I$, does that automatically imply $A^{-1} A = I$?
This is same as AA -1 It means that we first apply the A -1 transformation which will take as to some plane having different basis vectors If we think what is the inverse of A -1 ? We are basically asking that what transformation is required to get back to the Identity transformation whose basis vectors are i ^ (1,0) and j ^ (0,1)
- factorial - Why does 0! = 1? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Intending on marking as accepted, because I'm no mathematician and this response makes sense to a commoner However, I'm still curious why there is 1 way to permute 0 things, instead of 0 ways
- Why is $1^ {\infty}$ considered to be an indeterminate form
The reason why $1^\infty$ is indeterminate, is because what it really means intuitively is an approximation of the type $ (\sim 1)^ {\rm large \, number}$ And while $1$ to a large power is 1, a number very close to 1 to a large power can be anything
- General term formula of series 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 3 . . . +1 n
This sum is called $H_n$ the $n$th"harmonic number" and has no known closed form
- Arithmetic pattern $1 + 2 = 3$, $4 + 5 + 6 = 7 + 8$, and so on
The other interesting thing here is that 1,2,3, etc appear in order in the list And you have 2,3,4, etc terms on the left, 1,2,3, etc terms on the right This should let you determine a formula like the one you want Then prove it by induction
