Pyramid (exponential) Power (2)

Here is the answer of my math question.

A1. 

Assume the 3rd and 4th levels are complete, Hitoshi can get the money: 40^2 * 1000 * 0.25 * 0.9 - 1000 = 359000 Euro. Hitoshi is rich!

A2.

Daniel is the same. Wait, Daniel needs the 6th level of the pyramid. To complete the 6th level, we need:

    1+ 40 + 40^2 + 40^3 + 40^4 + 40^5 = 105025641 (around 100 million)> 2.5 million

There is not enough people in Berlin for Daniel. He lost his 1000 Euro every month. and Hitoshi lost Daniel as a friend. ;_;  Actually German population is around 80 million, so, even if all the German people joined this, Daniel can not get the expected full payment. Actually next answer shows Daniel has absolutely no chance to get any Euro.

A3. 

Hitoshi needs total 5 levels.

    1+ 40 + 40^2 + 40^3 + 40^4 = 2625641 > 2.5 million

So Hitoshi's level needs a bit more than the people in Berlin. But if everyone is convinced in Berlin, even babies and children pay 1000 Euro every month, Hitoshi can be rich. (Which is basically impossible.) This also means Daniel has no chance to get any money.

A pyramid system is basically a Monarchy system. The king can get money and it is true someone is the king. So you can see the proof of someone gets the money. But I think the question is ``you'' can be a king or not. Well, good luck for that. I think if Hitoshi saw more than 30 people related with this system, Hitoshi has basically no chance in Berlin, Hitoshi is in the slave level in this case.

Essay question: Why do some pyramid systems try to expand to the foreign countries?

Geometric Multiplicity: eignvectors (2)

If eigenvectors of a matrix A are independent, it is a happy property. Because the matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix S that column vectors are eigenvectors of A . For example, Why this is a happy property of A? Because I can find A's power easily. A^{10} is not a big deal. Because Λ is a diagonal matrix and power of a diagonal matrix is quite simple. A^{10} = SΛ^{10} S^{-1} Then, why if I want to compute power of A ? That is the same reason to find eigenvectors. Eigenvectors are a basis of a matrix. A matrix can be represented by a single scalar. I repeat this again. This is the happy point, a matrix becomes a scalar. What can be simpler than a scalar value. But, this is only possible when the matrix S's columns are independent. Because S^{-1} must be exist. Now I come back to my first question. Is the λ's multiplicity related with the number of eigenvectors? This time I found this has the name. Geometric multiplicity (GM): the number of in...

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...

Tezuka Osamu's Black Jack, "Shrinking"

I like several novel authors. My first favorite author is probably Teduka, Osamu. I still love him. The list grows by adding Hoshi, Shinichi, Agatha Christie, Hermann Hesse, and so forth. My first favorite article of Tezuka was Atom as most of the (boy's) Tezuka fans did. But my favorite is Black Jack. I try to summarize one story, it is still quite vivid in my memory. I first read this story when I was 13 - 15 years old. I re-read it at least several times since Black Jack is composed of many short episodes. The title should be "ちぢむ (SHRINKING)" or it might be "縮む(Shrinking)". (It is not so convenient to translate this to English, since English does not have a system to say the exact same word in several ways. So I just simulate it with capital letters.) Black Jack is a genius surgeon, but he does not have the license. In short, his medical activity is illegal. His skill is top level in the world, but, the fee is also out-of-law expensive. In the story ...
