πŸ’‘ The Liberal Achievement

The 19th century saw unprecedented progress in freedom, prosperity, and knowledge. This was not despite liberalism but because of itβ€”yet we have forgotten what made it possible.

πŸ’‘ The Principle of Competition

Competition is the only method by which complex economic activities can be adjusted to changing circumstances without coercive or arbitrary intervention. It dispenses with the need for "conscious social control" and gives individuals a chance to decide whether their prospects are sufficient.

πŸ“ Euler

If $\\gcd(a, n) = 1$, then $a^{\\varphi(n)} \\equiv 1 \\pmod{n}$.

Proof: **Proof Sketch:**

1. Let $\\{r_1, r_2, \\ldots, r_{\\varphi(n)}\\}$ be the reduced residue system mod $n$ (all integers coprime to $n$ in $[1, n-1]$).

2. Since $\\gcd(a, n) = 1$, the set $\\{a \\cdot r_1, a \\cdot r_2, \\ldots, a \\cdot r_{\\varphi(n)}\\}$ is also a reduced residue system mod $...

πŸ“ Spectral Theorem (Real Symmetric Matrices)

Every real symmetric matrix is orthogonally diagonalizable: $A = QDQ^T$ where $Q$ is orthogonal and $D$ is diagonal.

Proof: **Step 1: Eigenvalues are real.** If $Av = \\lambda v$ with $v \\neq 0$:

$$\\bar{\\lambda} \\bar{v}^T v = \\bar{v}^T \\bar{\\lambda} v = \\bar{v}^T A v = (A^T \\bar{v})^T v = (A\\bar{v})^T v = \\lambda \\bar{v}^T v$$

Since $\\bar{v}^T v = \\|v\\|^2 > 0$, we have $\\bar{\\lambda} = \\lambda$.

πŸ“ Eigenvalues as Roots

$\\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ if and only if $\\lambda$ is a root of the characteristic polynomial.

Proof: $\\lambda$ is an eigenvalue $\\iff$ $(A - \\lambda I)v = 0$ has a nonzero solution

$\\iff$ $A - \\lambda I$ is not invertible

$\\iff$ $\\det(A - \\lambda I) = 0$

$\\iff$ $\\det(\\lambda I - A) = 0$

$\\iff$ $\\lambda$ is a root of the characteristic polynomial.

πŸ“ Homogeneous System Solutions

The solution set of a homogeneous system $Ax = \\mathbf{0}$ is a subspace of $F^n$, called the null space of $A$.

Proof: Let $N = \\{x \\in F^n : Ax = \\mathbf{0}\\}$.

- $A \\cdot \\mathbf{0} = \\mathbf{0}$, so $\\mathbf{0} \\in N$.

- If $x, y \\in N$, then $A(x + y) = Ax + Ay = \\mathbf{0} + \\mathbf{0} = \\mathbf{0}$.

- If $x \\in N$ and $c \\in F$, then $A(cx) = c(Ax) = c \\cdot \\mathbf{0} = \\mathbf{0}$.

πŸ“ Sample Theorem

If $A \\subseteq B$ and $B \\subseteq A$, then $A = B$

Proof: Let $x \\in A$. Since $A \\subseteq B$, we have $x \\in B$ by definition of subset.

Therefore, every element of $A$ is in $B$.

Now, let $y \\in B$. Since $B \\subseteq A$, we have $y \\in A$ by definition.

Therefore, every element of $B$ is in $A$.
