Assistant Professor at the University of Saskatchewan. Firm believer that "they also serve who only stand and wait". Mainly working these days on abstract harmonic analysis, but always liable to fall off the wagon and into the cohomology of Banach algebras. Other interests currently include: homological perspectives on functional analysis; probabilistic methods; convolution operators arising from group actions. |

Taylor Series and Fourier Series Hmm, I am not sure (yet) that this needs to be rapidly shunted over to MSE. There is something lurking in the background about representation of differential operators on certain function spaces with respect to certain bases... although perhaps I am reading more into the question than the OP intended |

Banach Algebra Counterexample @Owen: it is not obvious that you can't embed the group algebra into B(H) via some homomorphism that isn't a star-map. (Something like the failure of von Neumann's inequality works in the case of A(T), the example Cedric gave; this is explained in the book of Diestel, Jarchow and Tonge) |

Status of Beal, Granville, Tijdeman-Zagier Conjecture I just reverted Halfdan Faber's change of the title. I think anyone looking for the conjecture with only Beal's name attached to it will not be confused by finding the extra names. Whereas omitting those names is tacitly taking Beal's side of the story, and I am not sure we should do that. |

Is a free alternative to MathSciNet possible? I don't think this is intended to have the same functionality that MathSciNet currently has. Often it isn't the reviews themselves that have proved useful in short-term searching, but being able to crawl up and down the citation tree. |

inner product of two gaussian random vectors? Something which might simplify the calculations slightly (apologies if you already know this): by the rotational invariance of the standard multivariate Gaussian distribution, you can WLOG assume (since you only care about distribution) that Y=(R, 0, ... , 0) where R is the square root of a chi-squared on n degrees of freedom. Then the random variable you care about has the same distribution as RZ where Z is a standard Gaussian independent of R. |

Nearly all math classes are lecture+problem set based; this seems particularly true at the graduate level. What are some concrete examples of techniques other than the “standard math class” used at the *Graduate* level? [deleted earlier comment, which was based on a misreading of the OP] |

Fourier series representing a continuous function? Reading through Katznelson's Intro to Harmonic Analysis will give lots of circumstantial evidence that the answer to your question is "not really, and probably not ever". Certainly it is not enough to look at the sequence $(|a_n|)$ |

Why is TopGrp the category of topological groups and continous homomorphisms protomodular? +1 for the "pedestrian version" (not that there's anything inherently wrong with the more abstract version, but it is good to see both for Brains of Little Bear like myself) |
