Why does he need to run.

Edward Snowden is on the run. I wondered why? Because the president admitted his saying was correct. Why does he need to run?

The following is my thought simulation. You might find disturbing since in my simulation you don't find human factor. So I usually don't show it. But my motivation is I don't want to see him to be harmed.

``There is no worth to kill him.'' I thought. If someone or some organization kills him, what kind of effect is expected.

I found two types of organizations which can see the value to kill him.

One is the government, to avoid the domino effect. This government doesn't want to see other employee follows him. But this is obvious, if the government killed him, the world blame the government.

The other is the organization that against the government. People suspect the first motivation. If someone against the government, the one kills him, and claims ``The government did it. You see that the government is evil.''

Now his life's value becomes more and more important. Even I can imagine these, so, the government is again be a possible player. The government kills him and tell my second story and blame them.

I now understand why he must run. But, if he died, the government is suspicious now. I suggest to the government, you must protect him, keep him alive. Otherwise, any political opponent would take the advantage.

Why A^{T}A is invertible? (2) Linear Algebra

Why A^{T}A has the inverse Let me explain why A^{T}A has the inverse, if the columns of A are independent. First, if a matrix is n by n, and all the columns are independent, then this is a square full rank matrix. Therefore, there is the inverse. So, the problem is when A is a m by n, rectangle matrix. Strang's explanation is based on null space. Null space and column space are the fundamental of the linear algebra. This explanation is simple and clear. However, when I was a University student, I did not recall the explanation of the null space in my linear algebra class. Maybe I was careless. I regret that... Explanation based on null space This explanation is based on Strang's book. Column space and null space are the main characters. Let's start with this explanation. Assume x where x is in the null space of A . The matrices ( A^{T} A ) and A share the null space as the following: This means, if x is in the null space of A , x is also in the n...

Gauss's quote for positive, negative, and imaginary number

Recently I watched the following great videos about imaginary numbers by Welch Labs. https://youtu.be/T647CGsuOVU?list=PLiaHhY2iBX9g6KIvZ_703G3KJXapKkNaF I like this article about naming of math by Kalid Azad. https://betterexplained.com/articles/learning-tip-idea-name/ Both articles mentioned about Gauss, who suggested to use other names of positive, negative, and imaginary numbers. Gauss wrote these names are wrong and that is one of the reason people didn't get why negative times negative is positive, or, pure positive imaginary times pure positive imaginary is negative real number. I made a few videos about explaining why -1 * -1 = +1, too. Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by pattern https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 Explanation: why -1 * -1 = +1 by climbing a mountain https://youtu.be/uD7JRdAzKP8 But actually Gauss's insight is much powerful. The original is in the Gauß, Werke, Bd. 2, S. 178 . Hätte man +1, -1, √-1) nicht positiv, negative, imaginäre (oder gar um...

Why parallelogram area is |ad-bc|?

Here is my question. The area of parallelogram is the difference of these two rectangles (red rectangle - blue rectangle). This is not intuitive for me. If you also think it is not so intuitive, you might interested in my slides. I try to explain this for hight school students. Slides: A bit intuitive (for me) explanation of area of parallelogram (to my site, external link) .
