# Mark's Handout Library
This is a collection of math circle handouts that I (and many others) have written. \
They are used regularly at the [ORMC].
For more information, visit [betalupi.com/handouts]. \
The latest version of each handout is available at that page.
## License
Unless otherwise stated, all documents in this repository are licensed under [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0]. \
Each document has its own authors. See `meta.toml` in each project directory for details.
By submitting or editing a handout in this repository, you agree to release it under this license.
## 🛠️ Contributing
If you want to use one of these handouts for a class, see [`betalupi.com/handouts`](https://betalupi.com/handouts). \
You only need to read this section if you want to edit these handouts.
Use git to clone this repository, then open the root folder in [vscode] or [vscodium]. \
We use the [latex-workshop] and [tinymist] extensions to write these handouts, install them before continuing. \
[`./vscode/settings.json`](./vscode/settings.json) will automatically configure them to work with this repository.
- All handouts are in [`./src`](./src) \
Every handout is stored in its own directory, even if it only consists of one file. \
Handouts are organized by group (see [betalupi.com/handouts] for details).
- Packages are stored in [`./lib`](./lib) \
You shouldn't need to modify any library files, but you may want to read them to see how they work. \
- [`./tools`](./tools) contains build scripts, [`./.github`](./.github) configures automation. \
You can ignore everything in these directories.
All handouts in this repository are based on `ormc_handout.cls` or `handout@0.1.0`. \
If you're using LaTeX, read [`docs-latex.md`](./docs-latex.md). \
If you're using Typst (preferred), read [`docs-typst.md`](./docs-typst.md)
### Metadata
Every handout directory should contain a file called `meta.toml` with the following contents:
```toml
# This is a sample `meta.toml`.
# A copy of this file should exist in every handout directory.
# All keys are required.
[metadata]
title = "title of this handout"
[publish]
# Should we publish this handout?
# If `false`, no part of this handout is published.
handout = true
# Should we publish an "instructor's" version of this handout?
# This key has no effect if `publish.handout` is false.
#
# If `true`, publish a second version of this handout with solutions.
# Set this to `false` if solutions haven't been written.
solutions = true
```
## 💾 Out-of-band compilation
If you want to compile these handouts _without_ this repository (e.g, on [Overleaf] or [Typst.app]), do the following: \
_(I do not recommend this. The default toolchain makes it easier to share improvements to these handouts.)_
### For LaTeX:
1. Get the handout's directory (i.e, download the whole repo as a zip and extract the folder you want.)
2. Download [`./resources/ormc_handout.cls`](./resources/ormc_handout.cls)
3. Put this `ormc_handout.cls` in the same directory as the handout.
4. Fix the include path at the top of `main.tex`:
You'll need to replace
```latex
\documentclass[
...
]{../../../lib/tex/ormc_handout}
```
with
```latex
\documentclass[
...
]{ormc_handout}
```
5. Make a new overleaf project with the resulting directory.
6. **Do not use pdflatex**, it misbehaves with `ormc_handout`. Tell Overleaf to use XeLaTeX.
### For Typst:
Out-of-band typst compilation isn't supported. Clone the repository and use vscode. \
This is because typst can't import packages from a relative path.
If you _really_ want it, standalone typst compilation _is_ possible. \
Follow the LaTeX instructions, but fix `handout@0.1.0` instead of `ormc_handout`. \
You'll figure it out.

# LaTeX documentation
All LaTeX handouts are based on [`ormc_handout.cls`](./lib/tex/ormc_handout.cls). \
This class is based on `article.cls`, and should work with most LaTeX packages.
The best way to start a new document is to make a copy of an existing one.
- [Advanced/Cryptography](./src/Advanced/Cryptography) is a good example of a simple handout.
- [Advanced/DFAs](./src/Advanced/DFAs) is a good example of a handout with graphs.
- [Advanced/Geometric Optimization](./src/Advanced/Geometric%20Optimization) is a good example of a handout with geometry.
## Notes
- Compile your handouts with XeLaTeX. \
`pdflatex` is known to misbehave with `ormc_handout.cls`. \
This will happen by default if you use vscode. \
If you use Overleaf, you'll have to configure it manually (see document settings).
## Document Options
Document options are passed to `\documentclass`, as follows:
```latex
\documentclass[
% Show solutions is `solutions` is provided,
% hide them if `nosolutions` is provided.
%
% You should set only ONE of these flags at a time.
% Solutions are shown by default.
% All handouts are stored with `solutions` enabled.
solutions,
nosolutions,
% Enable this option if you need more space on the handout's first page.
% We use a long warning by default.
shortwarning,
% If present, hide page numbers.
% This should only be used for single-page handouts
% (e.g, warm-ups)
nopagenumber
]{ormc_handout}
```
Use `geometry` to change margins and page dimensions. US letter is the default.
## Utilities
- `\say{text}`: Puts text in quotes, handling details like period spacing. Courtesy of `dirtytalk`.
- `\note[Type]{text}`: Makes a note.
- `\hint{text}`: Shorthand for `\note[Hint]{text}`
## Sections
The usual LaTeX title-customization techniques *WILL NOT WORK* with this class. \
Don't even try to load `titlesec`.
`ormc_handout.cls` supports two levels of sections:
- `\section`, for large parts of the handout
- `\definition`, `\theorem`, `\proposition`, `\example`, `\remark`, `\problem`, and `\problempart`
All these macros have the following syntax: `\problem{title}<label>`
- `title` is the problem's title, and may be empty.
- `label` is the problem's label. This is optional. \
If a label is provided, this section may be referenced with `\ref{label}`.
Examples:
- `\problem{}`
- `\problem{Bonus}`
- `\problem{}<gcd>`, which may be referenced with `\ref{gcd}`
Do **not** use `\begin{problem} ... \end{problem}`. \
Sections are macros, not environments.
## Environments:
- `\begin{solution}`: A fancy red for solutions to problems. \
This is hidden if the `nosolutions` is provided.
- `\begin{instrutornote}`: A fancy blue box for instructor notes. \
This is hidden if the `nosolutions` is provided.
- `\begin{examplesolution}`: A fancy gray for sample solutions. \
This is never hidden.
All the above environments break across pages and may safely be nested.
Each of these environments also provides the `\linehack` macro, which draws a line across the box. \
This is useful for, say, solutions to multipart problems.

# Typst documentation
See [typst.app/docs](https://typst.app/docs) for typst's documentation. \
All typst handouts are based on [`handout@0.1.0`](./lib/typst/local/handout/0.1.0).
The best way to start a new document is to make a copy of an existing one.
- [Advanced/Tropical Polynomials](./src/Advanced/Tropical%20Polynomials) is a good place to start.
- [Warm-Ups/Painting](./src/Warm-Ups/Painting) is a good example of tikz-like pictures.
## Notes
- Typst's equivalent of tikz is cetz ([homepage](https://cetz-package.github.io), [docs](https://cetz-package.github.io/docs/api))
- Typst handouts are always compiled with solutions. \
Handouts without solutions are automatically compiled and published at [betalupi.com/handouts](https://static.betalupi.com/ormc). \
If you'd like to compile a student handout manually, run the following command in a handout directory:
```bash
typst compile main.typ --package-path ../../../lib/typst --input show_solutions=false
```
Where `package_path` is a relative path to [./lib/typst](./lib/typst).
## Document Options
All typst handouts start with the following:
```typst
#show: handout.with(
// Should match `meta.toml`
title: [handout title],
// Authors
by: "Mark",
// Subtitle (optional)
subtitle: "Based on a handout by Bryant Mathews",
// Group (optional)
group: "Advanced 2",
)
```
## Notable commands
- `#v(1fr)`: Like LaTeX's `\vfill`. Creates whitespace that grows automatically. \
`fr` means "fraction". `#v(2fr)` will fill twice as much space as `#v(1fr)` on the same page.
## Utilities
- `#note([content], type: "Note type")`: Makes a note. `type` is optional.
- `#hint([content])`: Shorthand for `#note([content], type: "Hint")`
- `#solution([content])`: A pretty box for solutions. Hidden in student handouts.
- `#examplesolution([content])`: Like `#solution()`, but is never hidden.
- `#if_solutions([content])`: Shows content only if we are showing solutions.
- `#if_no_solutions([content])`: Shows content only if we **aren't** showing solutions.
## Sections
High-level sections are denoted with `=`. \
Subsections start with `==`, subsubsections with `===`, and so on. \
**`handout@0.1.0` is only designed to use `=`, subsections might be ugly.**
`handout@0.1.0` also provides the following commands:
- `problem`
- `definition`
- `theorem`
- `example`
- `remark`
These all have the same syntax: `#problem("title", label: "label")`
- `title` is the problem's title, and may be omitted.
- `label` is the problem's label. This is optional. \
If a label is provided, this problem can be referenced with `@label`
**Examples:**
- `#problem()`
- `#problem("Bonus")`
- `#problem(label: "gcd")`, which may be referenced with `@gcd`
### Complete example:
```typst
// Import definition(), problem(), etc.
// Must be at the top of each file.
#import "@local/handout:0.1.0": *
// Make a section called "Tropical Cubic Polynomials"
= Tropical Cubic Polynomials
// Make a problem with a label
#problem(label: "imaproblem")
Consider the polynomial $f(x) = x^3 + 1x^2 + 3x + 6$.
- sketch a graph of this polynomial
// Make an untitled problem that references `problem`.
#problem()
Recall @imaproblem.
- use this graph to find the roots of $f$
```

\section{Integers}
\definition{}
A \textit{bit string} is a string of binary digits. \par
In this handout, we'll denote bit strings with the prefix \texttt{0b}. \par
That is, $1010 =$ \say{one thousand and one,} while $\texttt{0b1001} = 2^3 + 2^0 = 9$
\vspace{2mm}
We will seperate long bit strings with underscores for readability. \par
Underscores have no meaning: $\texttt{0b1111\_0000} = \texttt{0b11110000}$.
\problem{}
What is the value of the following bit strings, if we interpret them as integers in base 2? \par
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{0b0001\_1010}
\item \texttt{0b0110\_0001}
\end{itemize}
\begin{solution}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\texttt{0b0001\_1010} = 2 + 8 + 16 = 26$
\item $\texttt{0b0110\_0001} = 1 + 32 + 64 = 95$
\end{itemize}
\end{solution}
\vfill
\pagebreak
\definition{}
We can interpret a bit string in any number of ways. \par
One such interpretation is the \textit{signed integer}, or \texttt{int} for short. \par
\texttt{ints} allow us to represent negative and positive integers using 32-bit strings.
\vspace{2mm}
The first bit of an \texttt{int} tells us its sign:
\begin{itemize}
\item if the first bit is \texttt{1}, the \textit{int} represents a negative number;
\item if the first bit is \texttt{0}, it represents a positive number.
\end{itemize}
We do not need negative numbers today, so we will assume that the first bit is always zero. \par
\note{If you'd like to know how negative integers are written, look up \say{two's complement} after class.}
\vspace{2mm}
The value of a positive signed \texttt{long} is simply the value of its binary digits:
\begin{itemize}
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000000\_00000000} = 0$
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000000\_00000011} = 3$
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000000\_00100000} = 32$
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000000\_10000010} = 130$
\end{itemize}
\problem{}
What is the largest number we can represent with a 32-bit \texttt{int}?
\begin{solution}
$\texttt{0b01111111\_11111111\_11111111\_11111111} = 2^{31}$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\problem{}
What is the smallest possible number we can represented with a 32-bit \texttt{int}? \par
\hint{
You do not need to know \textit{how} negative numbers are represented. \par
Assume that we do not skip any integers, and don't forget about zero.
}
\begin{solution}
There are $2^{64}$ possible 32-bit patterns,
of which 1 represents zero and $2^{31}$ represent positive numbers.
We therefore have access to $2^{64} - 1 - 2^{31}$ negative numbers,
giving us a minimum representable value of $-2^{31} + 1$.
\end{solution}
\vfill
\problem{}
Find the value of each of the following 32-bit \texttt{int}s:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000101\_00111001}
\item \texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000001\_00101100}
\item \texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000100\_10110000}
\end{itemize}
\hint{The third conversion is easy---look carefully at the second.}
\begin{solution}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000101\_00111001} = 1337$
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000001\_00101100} = 300$
\item $\texttt{0b00000000\_00000000\_00000010\_01011000} = 1200$
\end{itemize}
Notice that the third long is the second shifted left twice (i.e, multiplied by 4)

\section{Floats}
\definition{}
\textit{Binary decimals}\footnotemark{} are very similar to base-10 decimals. \par
In base 10, we interpret place value as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item $0.1 = 10^{-1}$
\item $0.03 = 3 \ \times 10^{-2}$
\item $0.0208 = 2 \times 10^{-2} + 8 \times 10^{-4}$
\end{itemize}
\footnotetext{\say{decimal} is a misnomer, but that's ok.}
\vspace{5mm}
We can do the same in base 2:
\begin{itemize}
\item $\texttt{0.1} = 2^{-1} = 0.5$
\item $\texttt{0.011} = 2^{-2} + 2^{-3} = 0.375$
\item $\texttt{101.01} = 5.125$
\end{itemize}
\vspace{5mm}
\problem{}
Rewrite the following binary decimals in base 10: \par
\note{You may leave your answer as a fraction.}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\texttt{1011.101}$
\item $\texttt{110.1101}$
\end{itemize}
\vfill
\pagebreak
\definition{}
Another way we can interpret a bit string is as a \textit{signed floating-point decimal}, or a \texttt{float} for short. \par
Floats represent a subset of the real numbers, and are interpreted as follows: \par
\note{The following only applies to floats that consist of 32 bits. We won't encounter any others today.}

\item The first bit denotes the sign of the float's value. We'll label it $s$. \par
If $s = \texttt{1}$, this float is negative; if $s = \texttt{0}$, it is positive.
\item The next eight bits represent the \textit{exponent} of this float. \note{(we'll see what that means soon)}\par
We'll call the value of this eight-bit binary integer $E$. \par
Naturally, $0 \leq E \leq 255$ \note{(since $E$ consist of eight bits.)}
\item The remaining 23 bits represent the \textit{fraction} of this float, which we'll call $F$. \par
These 23 bits are interpreted as the fractional part of a binary decimal. \par
For example, the bits \texttt{0b1010000\_00000000\_00000000} represents $0.5 + 0.125 = 0.625$.
\end{itemize}
\problem{}<floata>
Consider \texttt{0b01000001\_10101000\_00000000\_00000000}. \par
Find the $s$, $E$, and $F$ we get if we interpret this bit string as a \texttt{float}. \par

$s = 0$ \par
$E = 258$ \par

The final value of a float with sign $s$, exponent $E$, and fraction $F$ is
\begin{equation*}
(-1)^s ~\times~ 2^{E - 127} ~\times~ \left(1 + \frac{F}{2^{23}}\right)

Notice that this is very similar to decimal scientific notation, which is written as
\begin{equation*}
(-1)^s ~\times~ 10^{e} ~\times~ (f)

\problem{}
Consider \texttt{0b01000001\_10101000\_00000000\_00000000}. \par
This is the same bit string we used in \ref{floata}. \par

What value do we get if we interpret this bit string as a float? \par

2^{131} \times \biggl(1 + \frac{2^{21} + 2^{19}}{2^{23}}\biggr)

Say we have a bit string $x$. \par
We'll let $x_f$ denote the value we get if we interpret $x$ as a float, \par

\section{Integers and Floats}
\generic{Observation:}
For small values of $a$, $\log_2(1 + a)$ is approximately equal to $a$. \par
Note that this equality is exact for $a = 0$ and $a = 1$, since $\log_2(1) = 0$ and $\log_2(2) = 1$.
\vspace{2mm}
We'll add a \say{correction term} $\varepsilon$ to this approximation, so that $\log_2(1 + a) \approx a + \varepsilon$.
TODO: why? Graphs.
\problem{}<convert>
Use the fact that $\log_2(1 + a) \approx a + \varepsilon$ to approximate $\log_2(x_f)$ in terms of $x_i$. \par
\vspace{5mm}
Namely, show that
\begin{equation*}
\log_2(x_f) ~=~ \frac{x_i}{2^{23}} - 127 + \varepsilon
\end{equation*}
for some correction term term $\varepsilon$ \par
\note{
In other words, we're finding an expression for $x$ as a float
in terms of $x$ as an int.
}
\begin{solution}
Let $E$ and $F$ be the exponent and float bits of $x_f$. \par
We then have:
\begin{align*}
\log_2(x_f)

\section{The Fast Inverse Square Root}
The following code is present in \textit{Quake III Arena} (1999):
\lstset{
breaklines=false,
numbersep=5pt,
xrightmargin=0in
}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=C]
float Q_rsqrt( float number ) {
long i = * ( long * ) &number;
i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
return * ( float * ) &i;
}
\end{lstlisting}
This code defines a function \texttt{Q\_rsqrt} that consumes a float named
\texttt{number} and approximates its inverse square root (in other words, \texttt{Q\_rsqrt} computes $1/\sqrt{\texttt{number}}$).
\vspace{2mm}
If we rewrite this using notation we're familiar with, we get the following:
\begin{equation*}
\texttt{Q\_sqrt}(n_f) = 6240089 - (n_i \div 2) \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_f}}
\end{equation*}
\note{
\texttt{0x5f3759df} is $6240089$ in hexadecimal. \par
It is a magic number hard-coded into \texttt{Q\_sqrt}.
}
\vspace{2mm}
Our goal in this section is to understand why this works: \par
\begin{itemize}
\item How does Quake approximate $\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}$ by simply subtracting and dividing by two?
\item What's special about $6240089$?
\end{itemize}
\problem{}
Using basic log rules, rewrite $\log_2(1 / \sqrt{x})$ in terms of $\log_2(x)$.
\begin{solution}
\begin{equation*}
\log_2(1 / \sqrt{x}) = \frac{-1}{2}\log_2(x)
\end{equation*}
\end{solution}
\vfill
\pagebreak
\generic{Setup:}
We are now ready to show that $\texttt{Q\_sqrt} \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_f}}$. \par
For convenience, let's call the bit string of the inverse square root $r$. \par
In other words,
\begin{equation*}
r_f := \frac{1}{\sqrt{n_f}}
\end{equation*}
This is the value we want to approximate.
\problem{}<finala>
Find an approximation for $\log_2(r_f)$ in terms of $n_i$ and $\varepsilon$ \par
\note{Remember, $\varepsilon$ is the correction constant in our approximation of $\log_2(1 + a)$.}
\begin{solution}
\begin{equation*}
\log_2(r_f)
~=~ \log_2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{n_f}})
~=~ \frac{-1}{2}\log_2(n_f)
~\approx~ \frac{-1}{2}\left( \frac{n_i}{2^{23}} + \varepsilon - 127 \right)
\end{equation*}
\end{solution}
\vfill
\problem{}<finalb>
Let's call the \say{magic number} in the code above $\kappa$, so that
\begin{equation*}
\texttt{Q\_sqrt}(n_f) = \kappa - (n_i \div 2)
\end{equation*}
Use problems \ref{num:convert} and \ref{num:finala} to show that $\texttt{Q\_sqrt}(n_f) \approx r_i$. \par
\begin{solution}
From \ref{convert}, we know that
\begin{equation*}
\log_2(r_f) \approx \frac{r_i}{2^{23}} + \varepsilon - 127
\end{equation*}
\note{
Our approximation of $\log_2(1+a)$ uses a fixed correction constant, \par
so the $\varepsilon$ here is equivalent to the $\varepsilon$ in \ref{finala}.
}
Combining this with the result from \ref{finala}, we get:
\begin{align*}
\frac{r_i}{2^{23}} + \varepsilon - 127
&~\approx~\frac{-1}{2}\left( \frac{n_i}{2^{23}} + \varepsilon - 127 \right) \\
\frac{r_i}{2^{23}}
&~\approx~\frac{-1}{2}\left( \frac{n_i}{2^{23}} \right) + \frac{3}{2}(\varepsilon - 127) \\
r_i
&~\approx~\frac{-1}{2}\left(n_i \right) + 2^{23}\frac{3}{2}(\varepsilon - 127)
~=~ 2^{23}\frac{3}{2}(\varepsilon - 127) - \frac{n_i}{2}
\end{align*}
\vspace{2mm}
This is exactly what we need! If we set $\kappa$ to $\frac{2^{24}}{3}(\varepsilon - 127)$, then
\begin{equation*}
r_i ~\approx~ \kappa - (n_i \div 2) ~=~ \texttt{Q\_sqrt}(n_f)
\end{equation*}
\end{solution}
\vfill
\problem{}
What is the exact value of $\kappa$ in terms of $\varepsilon$? \par
\hint{Look at \ref{finalb}. We already found it!}
\begin{solution}
This problem makes sure our students see that
$\kappa = \frac{2^{24}}{3}(\varepsilon - 127)$. \par
See the soluton to \ref{finalb}.

\section{Spacetime Diagrams}
We are going to derive the principles and consequences of special relativity using basic geometry. \\
o help with our visualization, we will be using spacetime diagrams (called {\em Minkowski diagrams}).
To make our models simpler, we will only be considering {\em one spatial dimension}.
We plot space, which we denote by $x$, as the horizontal axis, and time, which we denote by $t$ as the vertical axis. For a given object, we can then plot its position at any given time. \\
This will give a (potentially curvy) line that we call the object's {\em world line}.
\example{}
Suppose that at time $t = 0$, you are standing still with your cat at your feet.
Your cat walks away from you at speed $1$. We can represent this with a spacetime diagram:

\problem{}<pets scatter>
Suppose that you are standing still at time $t = 0$ and your many pets lie at your feet.
\begin{itemize}
\item Your cat, unhappy that she is not fed, begins walking away to your right at speed $2$.
\item Your dog, distracted by a squirrel, walks away to your left at speed $1$.
\item Your hamster, just wanting to feel included, waits a second and then follows the dog at speed $2$.
After reaching your dog, your hamster turns around and sprints after the cat at speed $3$.

Draw this situation in the provided spacetime diagram.

\section{Galilean Relativity}
Much like you can watch your pets scatter from the perspective of a train, we can watch the world from anyone's perspective. When we shift perspective like this, just using our normal intuition, we call this {\em Galilean relativity}.
\example{}
Consider the situation of Example $1$ again, but now from the perspective of your cat.
From your cat's perspective, she's the one staying still and you're the one walking away,
only now you're walking away at speed $1$ to the left. We'll denote our new spatial variable with $x'$.

\definition{Reference Frame}
When we view the world from the perspective of different objects,
we say that we are working in different {\em reference frames}.
The original Example 1, where you are stationary, is your reference frame.
The new plot in Example 5, where your cat is stationary, is your cat's reference frame.
If we want to compare what is happening in multiple reference frames at once, we can graph
multiple spacetime grids on one plot. If we overlay the cat's reference frame onto your reference frame,
we can visualize everything in Example 1 as:

\section{Special Relativity}
Galilean relativity is nice until we start going really, {\em really} fast.
Since most of us are terribly slow, we can use it without any issues.
However, in reality, things are much weirder. In particular, there is a maximum speed: the speed of light,
$$c = 299,792,458 \tfrac{m}{s}.$$
Nothing can move faster than the speed of light and {\bf in every reference frame, light will move at this speed}.
Let's see if this is consistent with Galilean relativity.
We are going to making things easier for ourselves now and change units. Instead of measuring time $t$, we are now going to measure $ct$.

Suppose you are sitting still and you send one photon to your right. Draw this photon on a spacetime diagram, with horizontal axis $x$ and vertical axis $ct$.

Clearly, Galilean relativity and the absolute speed of light do not mix well together. Having noticed this, you are now in the same boat as early 20th century physicists.
Can you brainstorm any ways to fix Galilean relativity to account for this absolute speed of light?
{\em Hint 1}: Try different methods of drawing the axes of your reference frame that would maintain the speed of light in both the rest frame and in your reference frame.
{\em Hint 2}: The photon worldline always bisects the angle between the space and time axes. \\ Is there a way that you can make that happen in your reference frame?

\definition{Lorentz Boost}
Looking at our spacetime diagram from \ref{photon diagram}, we see that the photon worldline bisects the angle between the $ct$ axis and $x$ axis. So if we want to maintain this speed in all reference frames, we just need to make sure that photons bisect our new time axis $ct'$ and our new space axis $x'$.
In order to do this, we're going to to rotate our space axis $x'$ by the same angle that our $ct'$ axis is rotated. Rotating both axes like this is called a {\em Lorentz boost} and is best visualized in the following diagram:

As before, the slanted (red) axes are your reference frame as you're moving. \\
Note that you (and anything moving the same speed as you) are stationary in this reference frame.
\remark{}
In this diagram, we've not only rotated your space axis ($x'$), we've also adjusted the scale of $ct'$ and $x'$ relative to the rest frame. This scaling comes from physical experiments which we will conduct later.
\problem{}
Please verify that in the diagram above, if you shoot a photon behind you, it still moves at speed $c$ in both your reference frame and the ground's reference frame. You can do this by drawing directly on the diagram.

This follows by just extending the boosted axes to the second quadrant and drawing the photon's worldline.

A caveat to Lorentz boosts is that we cannot boost to reference frames which are at the speed of light or
faster. Based on the diagram given, why can't we do that? \\
{\em "If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits $c$, you're gonna see some serious stuff."}
\begin{solution}
If boosted to $c$, our axes would overlap, compressing time and space into one.
If we boosted past $c$, our axes would flip, making the past the future and the future the past.

This diagram implies some strange things. We'll spend the next sections discussing
some consequences of this, but take a minute to note anything weird that you notice.
In particular, look at a unit of time (or a unit of length) in your frame vs the rest frame.
Which is longer, one unit of time in your reference frame or in the rest frame?
Which is longer, one unit of distance in your reference frame or in the rest frame?
Consider the implications of a slanted space line.
What does it mean if two events both lie on this line?

(We'll assume that sound propagates instantly, so if a sound occurs at $ct' = 3.5$ then Bob hears it instantly at $ct' = 3.5$.)
\begin{solution}
The snaps will be out of time in Bob's reference frame.
He will hear Alice's right hand first and then her left hand after.
\end{solution}
\vfill
\problem{}<Bob overreacted>
Bob is deeply annoyed at Alice because she {keeps}.~{\em snapping}.~{\em out}.~{\bf\em of}.~{\bf\em TIME}.
In a fit of frustration he starts running faster and faster to the right.
Eventually, he notices that the snaps are changing.
What happens to the timing of the snaps? Do the snaps ever come back into time?
At what speed is Bob running if they do?
\begin{solution}
We can line up new sets of snaps with lines of slope $1/2$.
So if Bob is running at speed $c/2$then he will hear the snaps in time again.

Done with music, Alice and Bob decide to have a race and they agree to race from $x = 0$ to $x = 2$.

\begin{solution}
Bob finishes at $(2, 8)$ and Alice finishes at $(10,4)$.

This weirdness with simultaneity might make us question what the past, present, and future are.
To make sense of this, suppose that we want to define the {\em present} to be every event which is simultaneous to you, right here, right now --- a.k.a.~the spacetime point $(0,0)$ --- in at least one reference frame.
On the given spacetime diagram, draw the region which represents the present.
Draw a region which represents the future: events that are later in time in every reference frame.
Draw a region which represents the past: events that are earlier in time in every reference frame.

Another way to think of this is thinking of causality. In a reference frame, the {\em future} is every event that can be affected by an event at $(0,0)$. The {\em past} is every event that could have affected an event at $(0,0)$. The {\em present} is every event that is causally independent of $(0,0)$.

\problem{Bell's Spaceship Paradox}
Suppose that we have two spaceships, distance $L$ apart, tied together with floss of length $L$. The floss is so weak that any stretching at all will cause it to disintegrate.
The spaceships are at rest and then simultaneously accelerate to speed $c/2$.
Draw the spacetime diagram for this situation. Include the reference frame of the spaceships {\em after} they start moving (i.e. the reference frame moving at speed $c/2$).\\
What happens to the floss in the boosted frame? Does it break? Why?

\vfill
\problem{Bell's Spaceship Paradox (continued)}
The same outcome has to occur in all reference frames, so we know that the floss breaks in the stationary reference frame. However, in the stationary reference frame, the two spaceships accelerate at the same time, so our explanation no longer seems accurate.
Can you come up with a hypothesis for why the floss breaks in the stationary reference frame?
{\em Hint: The floss breaks if the ships are farther apart than the length of the floss.}
\begin{solution}
The floss will break as soon as the spaceships accelerate. \par
In the boosted frame, the spaceship on the right accelerates first,
stretching the floss, causing it to break. \par
In the rest frame, this paradox motivates length contraction.
Either the ships get farther apart (doesn't happen) or the floss gets shorter.
This implies that the length of moving objects must get smaller.

\section{Proper Time and Proper Length}
We mentioned that the space and time axes also get rescaled during a Lorentz boost. Let's figure out by how much! To do this, we're going to use the only consistent tool at our disposal, the speed of light.
\problem{Time dilation}
Suppose that Alice remains stationary.
In her reference frame, Bob moves to the right at speed $v$.
Every quantity in Alice's reference frame will be denoted normally,
i.e.~$x,t$. Every quantity in Bob's reference frame will be given a prime, i.e.~$x',t'$.
Bob holds onto a very special clock.
The clock consists of a light bulb, a mirror distance $L$ away from the light
(perpendicular to the direction Bob is moving) and a photosensor.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Draw the experimental setup.
Note again that the light bulb and mirror are separated in the $y$ direction, not the $x$.
\vfill
\item In Bob's reference frame (where the clock isn't moving), how long does it take the light to be emitted, travel to the mirror, bounce back, and be reabsorbed? Write this as $t'$.
\begin{solution}
$ct' = 2L \implies t' = 2L/c$
\end{solution}
\vfill\pagebreak
\item In Alice's reference frame, she still sees the light move, reflect off the mirror, then come back. How long does this take?
{\em Note: The mirror and photosensor are moving at speed $v$ during this process. Also, the light is now moving at an angle, but it still moves at $c$.}
\begin{solution}
Pythagorean theorem:
$$(ct)^2 = (vt)^2 + 4L^2 \implies t^2 = \frac{4L^2}{c^2 - v^2} \implies t = \frac{2L}{\sqrt{c^2 - v^2}}$$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item Combine these two formulas to find a relationship between $t$ and $t'$.
If one unit of time elapses in Bob's reference frame, does more or less time elapse in Alice's reference frame? Who ages faster?
\begin{solution}
$$ct' = \sqrt{c^2 - v^2}t \implies t' = \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2} t$$
Since $v < c$, $0 \leq v^2/c^2 <1$. Then $t' < t$.
Alice ages faster. The time that Bob experiences is less than Alice.
\end{solution}
\end{enumerate}
\vfill
\pagebreak
\problem{Space dilation}
Since the speed of light is always constant, we can use time dilation to see what happens to our notion of distance. Suppose that a photon is emitted from one location and absorbed in another.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Suppose that in Alice's reference frame, the photon takes time $t$ to be emitted and absorbed. In this time, what distance $x$ does the photon travel?
\begin{solution}
$x = ct$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item Suppose that Bob is traveling at speed $v$ relative to Alice. Using time dilation, how long does the photon take to be emitted and absorbed in Bob's reference frame? What distance $x'$ does the photon travel in that time?
{\em This will give you a formula relating distance $x'$ in Bob's reference frame to distance $x$ in Alice's reference frame.}
\begin{solution}
$x' = ct' = ct \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2} = x \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\end{enumerate}
\vfill \pagebreak
\remark{}
Switching back and forth between reference frames gets confusing quickly,
especially when you are consideration time and space dilation. To avoid this,
we will define a new notion of time and space that doesn't care about which reference frame we're in.
Since this will be universal, we'll call these {\em proper time}, denoted by $\tau$, and {\em proper distance},
denoted by $\chi$.
Recall our notion of past and future from earlier:

\problem{Proper Time}
For any event $(x,ct)$ in the past or future, we can choose a reference frame to make it occur at $x' = 0$.
\begin{enumerate}
\item What velocity do we need to boost to so that the event $(x,ct)$ now occurs at $x' = 0$?
\begin{solution}
We need to boost to $v = x/t$.
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item After boosting to this reference frame, what time $ct'$ does the event occur at? \\
This will be our proper time $c\tau$.
\begin{solution}
Using time dilation, the event now occurs at $$c\tau = ct' = ct\sqrt{1 - x^2/c^2 t^2} = \sqrt{c^2 t^2 - x^2}$$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\end{enumerate}
\pagebreak
\problem{Proper Distance}
Similarly, for any event $(x,ct)$ in the present, we can choose a reference frame to make it occur at $t' = 0$.
\begin{enumerate}
\item What velocity do we need to boost to so that the event $(x,ct)$ now occurs at $t' = 0$?
\begin{solution}
We need to boost to $v = c^2t/x$.
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item After boosting to that velocity, what spatial position $x'$ does the event occur at? This will be our proper distance $\chi$.
\begin{solution}
Using space dilation, the event now occurs at $$\chi = x' = x\sqrt{1 - c^2t^2/x^2} = \sqrt{x^2 - c^2t^2}$$.
\end{solution}
\end{enumerate}
\vfill
Defined in this way, proper time and proper distance give a quick formula to
figure out how old an object is, or how far an object traveled, in its own reference frame!
We'll now use this proper time and proper space to quickly solve one of
the most famous paradoxes in special relativity.

\problem{Twin paradox}
Suppose that you have two twins, Mark and Lucas, born at the exact same instant and location. \\
One day, Mark sends Lucas off in a spaceship traveling at $c/2$ to a planet that is one lightyear away ($c*(\text{1 year})$). Upon reaching the planet, Lucas realizes that he's all alone! Saddened, he turns around immediately, traveling back at speed $c/2$.
The question is: Which twin is older? We'll break this down step by step.
\begin{enumerate}
\item From Mark's perspective, what time does Lucas reach the planet? What time does he return?
\begin{solution}
Lucas reaches the planet at $t = 2$ years.
Lucas reaches home at $t = 4$ years.
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item From Lucas' perspective, how long does it take him to reach the planet? Hint: use proper time.
\begin{solution}
The proper time of Lucas arriving at the planet is $$c\tau = \sqrt{4 - 1}\text{ lightyears} \implies \tau = \sqrt{3}\text{ years}.$$
\end{solution}

\item How long does it take him to return?

To help answer this, draw a spacetime diagram of this situation. In Lucas' reference frames (one for going out to the planet and one for coming back), draw lines of constant time. What happens to Mark from Lucas' perspective?\\

\section{Length Contraction}
With proper time and distance done, we can now tackle length contraction easily! Length contraction is weird because different parts of our object will now be experiencing different times.
\problem{}
Suppose that you (at rest) see a rod of length $L$ moving at speed $v$.
\makeatletter

\makeatother
\begin{enumerate}
\item Using the provided grid, draw a spacetime diagram where the left side of the rod is at $x = 0$ at $t = 0$.
\item When we switch to the rod's reference frame, space gets rotated. Draw a line in the rod's reference frame which represents the rod at time $t' = 0$, when the left side is at $x' = 0$. Call the right side of the rod at this time $P$.
\item Switching back to your reference frame, what are the spacetime coordinates $(ct,x)$ of $P$?
\vfill
\item Use the formula for proper distance to compute the length $L'$ of the rod in its own reference frame.
\vfill
\item Which is larger, $L'$ or $L$? Do moving objects shrink?

We want to calculate the spacetime position of the right side side of the rod when the left side is at the origin.
In the rest frame, the equation for the right edge of the rod is $x = vt + L$.
The equation for the spatial axis of the rod's rest frame is $c^2t = vx$.
This implies that they intersect at $ct = \frac{cvL}{c^2 - v^2}$ and $x = \frac{L}{1-v^2/c^2}$.
Calculating the proper length between the left and right side of the rod, we find that
\begin{align*}
L' = \chi = \sqrt{\frac{c^4L^2}{(c^2 - v^2)^2} - \frac{c^2 v^2 L^2}{(c^2 - v^2)}}
= L\sqrt{\frac{c^2(c^2 - v^2)}{(c^2 - v^2)^2}}
= \frac{L}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}
\end{align*}
We note that this implies $L' > L$. i.e., moving objects get shorter
\end{solution}
\pagebreak
\problem{Ladder paradox}
Aiden and Matt have a ladder of length $2L$ that they are trying to squeeze into a barn of length $L$. Suppose that the barn has a front door and back door which can be open/closed simultaneously.
Now, Aiden is particular smart, so he gives Matt the ladder and has Matt run at the barn at speed $v = \sqrt{3}c/2$. Does the ladder fit in the barn? We'll analyze this in the new few questions.
\begin{enumerate}
\item
What is the length of the ladder from Aiden's perspective when Matt is running? Does the ladder fit in the barn?
\begin{solution}
$L$
\end{solution}
\vfill
\item As soon as Matt and the ladder are inside the barn, Aiden quickly closes and opens the doors of the barn. Success!
However, consider this from Matt's perspective. From Matt's perspective, he's holding a ladder of length $2L$ and a barn is flying at him at speed $v = \sqrt{3}c/2$. By length contraction, what is the length of the barn?
\begin{solution}
$L/2$
\end{solution}
\vfill\pagebreak
\item Despite the barn being too short, we know that the ladder has to fit! Using the provided grid, draw a spacetime diagram of the situation. Include Matt's reference frame on your diagram.

\if@solutions\else

\vfill
\item From Matt's perspective, why don't the doors of the barn crush the ladder?
\end{enumerate}
\begin{solution}
In short, from Matt's perspective, the barn doors do not close at the same time. The back door closes right when the front of the ladder reaches it, then opens again. Later, the front door closes right when the back of the ladder passes it, then opens again.

\section{Relative Velocity}
The first weirdness occurs if we consider multiple people running in multiple directions and speeds. Let's explore this.
You shouldn't have to do any math here besides thinking about angles.

\end{solution}
\problem{}
What if Alice runs to the left at speed $v$, Bob stays still, and Charlie runs to the right at speed $v$?
From Charlie's reference frame, is Alice running away at speed $2v$? Why or why not?
{\em Think about the consequences.}
\begin{solution}
If $v > c/2$, then this poses an immediate problem. Alice has to move at a speed below $2v$. So velocities do not just add.

\maketitle
We have large tic-tac-toe grid, each cell of which contains another.
On each turn, one player puts their glyph into a cell of a small grid. When the next player goes,
they must make their move in the small grid in the same position as the previous player's move.
\begin{itemize}
\item The first player to move may pick any small grid to start in.
\item If a player is directed to a grid that is \textit{full}, that player may go anywhere. \par
A sub-grid that is \say{won} but not full may still be played in.
\end{itemize}
\vspace{2mm}
The first player to complete a line of three \say{won} subgrids wins the game.

\problem{}
A standard Mario Kart cup consists of 12 players and four races. \par
Each race is scored as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item 15 points are awarded for first place;
\item 12 for second;
\item and $(13 - \text{place})$ otherwise.
\end{itemize}
In any one race, no players may tie.
A player's score at the end of a cup is the sum of their scores for each of the four races.

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\problem{}
Take any positive integer $n$. \par
Now, write it as sum of smaller positive integers: $n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_k$ \par
Maximize the product $a_1 \times a_2 \times ... \times a_k$
\begin{solution}
\textbf{Interesting Solution:}
Of course, all $a_i$ should be greater than $1$. \par
Also, all $a_i$ should be smaller than four, since $x \leq x(x-2)$ if $x \geq 4$. \par
Thus, we're left with sequences that only contain 2 and 3. \par
\note{Note that two twos are the same as one four, but we exclude fours for simplicity.}
\vspace{2mm}
Finally, we see that $3^2 > 2^3$, so any three twos are better repackaged as two threes. \par
The best sequence $a_i$ thus consists of a maximal number of threes followed by 0, 1, or 2 twos.
\linehack{}
\textbf{Calculus Solution:}
First, solve this problem for equal, non-integer $a_i$:
\vspace{2mm}
We know $n = \prod{a_i}$, thus $\ln(n) = \sum{\ln(a_i)}$. \par
If all $a_i$ are equal, we get $\ln(n) = k \times \ln(n / k)$. \par
Derive wrt $k$ and set to zero to get $\ln(n / k) = 1$ \par
So $k = n / e$ and $n / k = e \approx 2.7$
\vspace{2mm}
If we try to approximate this with integers, we get the same solution as above.

\title{The Regex Warm-Up}
\uptitler{\smallurl{}}
\subtitle{Prepared by Mark on \today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Last time, we discussed Deterministic Finite Automata. One interesting application of these mathematical objects is found in computer science: Regular Expressions. \par
This is often abbreviated \say{regex}, which is pronounced like \say{gif.}
\vspace{2mm}
Regex is a language used to specify patterns in a string. You can think of it as a concise way to define a DFA, using text instead of a huge graph. \par
Often enough, a clever regex pattern can do the work of a few hundred lines of code.
\vspace{2mm}
Like the DFAs we've studied, a regex pattern \textit{accepts} or \textit{rejects} a string. However, we don't usually use this terminology with regex, and instead say that a string \textit{matches} or \textit{doesn't match} a pattern.
\vspace{5mm}
Regex strings consist of characters, quantifiers, sets, and groups.
\vspace{5mm}
\textbf{Quantifiers} \par
Quantifiers specify how many of a character to match. \par
There are four of these: \htexttt{+}, \htexttt{*}, \htexttt{?}, and \htexttt{\{ \}}
\vspace{2mm}
\htexttt{+} means \say{match one or more of the preceding token} \par
\htexttt{*} means \say{match zero or more of the preceding token}
For example, the pattern \htexttt{ca+t} will match the following strings:
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{cat}
\item \texttt{caat}
\item \texttt{caaaaaaaat}
\end{itemize}
\htexttt{ca+t} will \textbf{not} match the string \texttt{ct}. \par
The pattern \htexttt{ca*t} will match all the strings above, including \texttt{ct}.
\vspace{2mm}
\htexttt{?} means \say{match one or none of the preceding token} \par
The pattern \htexttt{linea?r} will match only \texttt{linear} and \texttt{liner}.
\vspace{2mm}
Brackets \htexttt{\{min, max\}} are the most flexible quantifier. \par
They specify exactly how many tokens to match: \par
\htexttt{ab\{2\}a} will match only \texttt{abba}. \par
\htexttt{ab\{1,3\}a} will match only \texttt{aba}, \texttt{abba}, and \texttt{abbba}. \par
% spell:off
\htexttt{ab\{2,\}a} will match any \texttt{ab...ba} with at least two \texttt{b}s.
% spell:on
\vspace{5mm}
\problem{}
Write the patterns \htexttt{a*} and \htexttt{a+} using only \htexttt{\{ \}}.
\vfill
\problem{}
Draw a DFA equivalent to the regex pattern \htexttt{01*0}.
\vfill
\pagebreak
\textbf{Characters, Sets, and Groups} \par
In the previous section, we saw how we can specify characters literally: \par
\texttt{a+} means \say{one or more \texttt{a} character}
\vspace{2mm}
There are, of course, other ways we can specify characters.
\vspace{2mm}
The first such way is the \textit{set}, denoted \htexttt{[ ]}. A set can pretend to be any character inside it. \par
For example, \htexttt{m[aoy]th} will match \texttt{math}, \texttt{moth}, or \texttt{myth}. \par
\htexttt{a[01]+b} will match \texttt{a0b}, \texttt{a111b}, \texttt{a1100110b}, and any other similar string. \par
You may negate a set with a \htexttt{\textasciicircum}. \par
\htexttt{[\textasciicircum abc]} will match any character except \texttt{a}, \texttt{b}, or \texttt{c}, including symbols and spaces.
\vspace{2mm}
If we want to keep characters together, we can use the \textit{group}, denoted \htexttt{( )}. \par
Groups work exactly as you'd expect, representing an atomic\footnotemark{} group of characters. \par
\htexttt{a(01)+b} will match \texttt{a01b} and \texttt{a010101b}, but will \textbf{not} match \texttt{a0b}, \texttt{a1b}, or \texttt{a1100110b}.
\footnotetext{In other words, \say{unbreakable}}
\problem{}<regex>
You are now familiar with most of the tools regex has to offer. \par
Write patterns that match the following strings:
\begin{enumerate}[itemsep=1mm]
\item An ISO-8601 date, like \texttt{2022-10-29}. \par
\hint{Invalid dates like \texttt{2022-13-29} should also be matched.}
\item An email address. \par
\hint{Don't forget about subdomains, like \texttt{math.ucla.edu}.}
\item A UCLA room number, like \texttt{MS 5118} or \texttt{Kinsey 1220B}.
\item Any ISBN-10 of the form \texttt{0-316-00395-7}. \par
\hint{Remember that the check digit may be an \texttt{X}. Dashes are optional.}
\item A word of even length. \par
\hint{The set \texttt{[A-z]} contains every english letter, capitalized and lowercase. \\
\texttt{[a-z]} will only match lowercase letters.}
\item A word with exactly 3 vowels. \par
\hint{The special token \texttt{\textbackslash w} will match any word character. It is equivalent to \texttt{[A-z0-9\_]} \\ \texttt{\_} stands for a literal underscore.}
\item A word that has even length and exactly 3 vowels.
\item A sentence that does not start with a capital letter.
\end{enumerate}
\vfill
\problem{}

I especially encourage you to look into this if you are interested in computer science.

Last time, we discussed Deterministic Finite Automata. One interesting application of these mathematical objects is found in computer science: Regular Expressions. \
This is often abbreviated "regex," which is pronounced like "gif."
#v(2mm)
Regex is a language used to specify patterns in a string. You can think of it as a concise way to define a DFA, using text instead of a huge graph. \
Often enough, a clever regex pattern can do the work of a few hundred lines of code.
#v(2mm)
Like the DFAs we've studied, a regex pattern _accepts_ or _rejects_ a string. However, we don't usually use this terminology with regex, and instead say that a string _matches_ or _doesn't match_ a pattern.
#v(5mm)
Regex strings consist of characters, quantifiers, sets, and groups.
#v(5mm)
*Quantifiers* \
Quantifiers specify how many of a character to match. \
There are four of these: `+`, `*`, `?`, and `{ }`.
#v(4mm)
`+` means "match one or more of the preceding token" \
`*` means "match zero or more of the preceding token"
For example, the pattern `ca+t` will match the following strings:
- `cat`
- `caat`
- `caaaaaaaat`
`ca+t` will *not* match the string `ct`. \
The pattern `ca*t` will match all the strings above, including `ct`.
#v(4mm)
`?` means "match one or none of the preceding token" \
The pattern `linea?r` will match only `linear` and `liner`.
#v(4mm)
Brackets `{min, max}` are the most flexible quantifier. \
They specify exactly how many tokens to match: \
`ab{2}a` will match only `abba`. \
`ab{1,3}a` will match only `aba`, `abba`, and `abbba`. \
`ab{2,}a` will match any `ab...ba` with at least two `b`s. // spell:disable-line
#problem()
Write the patterns `a*` and `a+` using only `{ }`.
#v(1fr)
#problem()
Draw a DFA equivalent to the regex pattern `01*0`.
#v(1fr)

`a[01]+b` will match `a0b`, `a111b`, `a1100110b`, and any other similar string. \
#v(4mm)
We can negate a set with a `^`. \
`[^abc]` will match any single character except `a`, `b`, or `c`, including symbols and spaces.
#v(4mm)
If we want to keep characters together, we can use the _group_, denoted `( )`. \
Groups work exactly as you'd expect, representing an atomic#footnote([In other words, "unbreakable"]) group of characters. \
`a(01)+b` will match `a01b` and `a010101b`, but will *not* match `a0b`, `a1b`, or `a1100110b`.

It is equivalent to `[A-z0-9_]`. `_` represents a literal underscore.

title: [Somewhat Random Numbers],
by: "Mark",
)
#problem()
Alice generates 100 random numbers uniformly from $[0,1]$. \
Bob generates 101 random numbers from $[0, 1]$, but deletes the lowest result.
#v(2mm)
Say we have both of the resulting arrays, but do not know who generated each one. \
We would like to guess which of the two was generated by Bob. \
What is the optimal strategy, and what is its probability of guessing correctly?
#solution([
Looking at the mean seems like a good idea, but there's a better way: \
Assign the array with the smaller _minimum_ to Alice.
#v(3mm)
To compute the probability, generate 201 numbers. \
Assign the first 100 to Alice and the rest to Bob. \
Look at the lowest two numbers (of these 201, *before* Bob drops his lowest).
#v(8mm)
We'll use the following notation: \
`AB` means the lowest was owned by Alice, and the second-lowest, by Bob.
#v(2mm)
Probabilities are as follows: \
- `AA`: $100\/201 times 99\/200 approx 0.246$
- `AB`: $100\/201 times 101\/200 approx 0.251$
- `BA`: $101\/201 times 100\/200 approx 0.251$ // spell:disable-line
- `BB`: $101\/201 times 100\/200 approx 0.251$
#v(4mm)
Now, Bob drops his lowest number. \
We'll cross out the number he drops and box the new lowest number (i.e, the one we observe):
- #{
(
box(`A`, stroke: ored, inset: 1pt)
+ box(`A`, inset: 1pt)
+ box([: $approx 0.246$], inset: (top: 1pt, bottom: 1pt))
)
}
- #{
(
box(`A`, stroke: ored, inset: 1pt)
+ box(strike(`B`), inset: 1pt)
+ box([: $approx 0.251$], inset: (top: 1pt, bottom: 1pt))
)
}
- #{
(
box(strike(`B`), inset: 1pt)
+ box(`A`, stroke: ored, inset: 1pt)
+ box([: $approx 0.251$], inset: (top: 1pt, bottom: 1pt))
)
}
- #{
(
box(strike(`B`), inset: 1pt)
+ box(`B`, stroke: ored, inset: 1pt)
+ box([: $approx 0.251$], inset: (top: 1pt, bottom: 1pt))
)
}
#v(8mm)
Alice has the smallest number in 3 of 4 cases, which have a total probability of $approx 0.749$.

Most of you have seen a hard drive. Many have touched one, and a lucky few have poked around inside one. These devices have two interesting properties:
\begin{enumerate}
\item They hold valuable data
\item They eventually fail
\end{enumerate}
Needless to say, this is a problem. \par
We need to design a system that allows hard drives to fail without data loss.
\definition{}
You can think of a hard drive as a long string of bits. \par

\maketitle
\problem{}
Four travellers are on a plane, each moving along a straight line at an arbitrary constant speed. \par
No two of their paths are parallel, and no three intersect at the same point. \par

\begin{solution}
When a body travels at a constant speed, its graph with respect to time is a straight line. \par
So, we add time axis in the third dimension, perpendicular to our plane. \par
Naturally, the projection of each of these onto the plane corresponds to a road.
Now, note that two intersecting lines define a plane and use the conditions in the problem to show that no two lines are parallel.
