Math

Dirac delta functionThe thing I love about math is its abstract nature. For example, let’s take a look at the Dirac’s delta function. It’s the function that has the value zero, everywhere except at x=0, where it has infinitely large value. And it has a property that its total integral (area beneath the function) is 1. So, to think a bit about it, it an infinitesimally thin peak, which has infinite height. And the area beneath it is 1. Something like 0 \times \infty =1… Ain’t that amazing :)?

And on the opposite, less abstract side, 1 \times 1=1… Or to put it in a more descriptive way :)…

Powers of one

Mind-expanding :)…
