Mathematics is a <art>[beautiful game] played on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science[strings], which <mathematicians> call https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem["theorems"].

Here is a more understandable description of the semi-satire that follows: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/53969/what-does-formal-mean/3297537#3297537

You start with a very small list of:
* certain arbitrarily chosen initial strings, which mathematicians call "<axioms>"
* rules of how to obtain new strings from old strings, called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_inference["rules of inference"] Every transformation rule is very simple, and can be verified by a computer.

Using those rules, you choose a target string that you want to reach, and then try to reach it. Before the target string is reached, mathematicians call it a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjecture["conjecture"].

Mathematicians call the list of transformation rules used to reach a string a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof["proof"].

Since every step of the proof is very simple and can be verified by a computer automatically, the entire proof can also be automatically verified by a computer very easily.

Finding proofs however is undoubtedly an <computable problem>[uncomputable problem].

Most mathematicians can't code or deal with the real world in general however, so they haven't created the obviously necessary: <website front-end for a mathematical formal proof system>.

The fact that Mathematics happens to be the best way to describe <physics> and that humans can use physical intuition heuristics to reach the NP-hard proofs of mathematics is one of the great miracles of the universe.

Once we have mathematics formally modelled, one of the coolest results is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_theorems[Gödel's incompleteness theorems], which states that for any reasonable proof system, there are necessarily theorems that cannot be proven neither true nor false starting from any given set of axioms: those theorems are independent from those axioms. Therefore, there are three possible outcomes for any hypothesis: true, false or independent!

Some famous theorems have even been proven to be independent of some famous <axioms>. One of the most notable is that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_hypothesis[Continuum Hypothesis] is <independent (mathematical logic)> from <Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory>! Such independence proofs rely on modelling the proof system inside another proof system, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forcing_(mathematics)[forcing] is one of the main techniques used for this.

\Q[Does the website actually automatically check the formal proofs, or is this intended to be implemented at some point? And if yes, is it intended to allow proofs to depend on other proofs of the website (possibly by other people)]
Owner:
\Q[Hi Ciro, yes we will be releasing in-browser proof assistant environments/checkers (e.g. Lean). Our goal is not to replace the underlying open-source repos (e.g. Mathlib) so the main dependency will be on the current repos; then when statement formalizations and proofs come in and are certified they can be PR'd to the respective repos. So we will be the source of truth for the informal latex code but only a stepping stone and orchestration layer on the way to the respective formal libraries.]
So apparently there will be proof checking, but nodependencies between proofs, you still have to pull request everywhing back and face the pain.

E.g. the function:

could have:
* codomain $\R$
* image $\R_{+}$

Note that the definition of the codomain is somewhat arbitrary, e.g. $x^2$ could as well technically have codomain:
$$
\R \bigcup \R^2
$$
even though it will obviously never reach any value in $\R^2$.

The exact image is in general therefore harder to characterize.

= Definition of the exponential function
{parent=Exponential function}
{wiki=Characterizations_of_the_exponential_function}

= Taylor expansion definition of the exponential function
{c}
{parent=Definition of the exponential function}

The <Taylor series> expansion is the most direct definition of the expontial as it obviously satisfies the <exponential function differential equation>:
* the first constant term dies
* each other term gets converted to the one before
* because we have <infinite> many terms, we get what we started with!
$$
e^x = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!} = 1 + \frac{x}{1} + \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{2 \times 3} + \frac{x^4}{2 \times 3 \times 4} + \ldots
$$

= Product definition of the exponential function
{parent=Definition of the exponential function}

$$
e^x = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(1+\frac x n \right)^n
$$

The basic intuition for this is to start from the origin and make small changes to the function based on its known derivative at the origin.

More precisely, we know that for any base b, <exponentiation> satisfies:
* $b^{x + y} = b^x b^y$.
* $b^{0} = 1$.
And we also know that for $b = e$ in particular that we satisfy the <exponential function differential equation> and so:
$$
\dv{e^x}{x}(0) = 1
$$
One interesting fact is that the only thing we use from the <exponential function differential equation> is the value around $x = 0$, which is quite little information! This idea is basically what is behind the importance of the ralationship between <Lie group-Lie algebra correspondence> via the <exponential map>. In the more general settings of groups and <manifolds>, restricting ourselves to be near the origin is a huge advantage.

Now suppose that we want to calculate $e^1$. The idea is to start from $e^0$ and then then to use the first order of the <Taylor series> to extend the known value of $e^0$ to $e^1$.

E.g., if we split into 2 parts, we know that:
$$
e^1 = e^{1/2}e^{1/2}
$$
or in three parts:
$$
e^1 = e^{1/3}e^{1/3}e^{1/3}
$$
so we can just use arbitrarily many parts $e^{1/n}$ that are arbitrarily close to $x = 0$:
$$
e^1 = (e^{1/n})^n
$$
and more generally for any $x$ we have:
$$
e^x = (e^{x/n})^n
$$

Let's see what happens with the Taylor series. We have near $y = 0$ in <little-o notation>:
$$
e^y = 1 + y + o(y)
$$
Therefore, for $y = x/n$, which is near $y = 0$ for any fixed $x$:
$$
e^{x/n} = 1 + x/n + o(1/n)
$$
and therefore:
$$
e^x = (e^{x/n})^n = (1 + x/n + o(1/n))^n
$$
which is basically the formula tha we wanted. We just have to convince ourselves that at $\lim_{n \to \infty}$, the $o(1/n)$ disappears, i.e.:
$$
(1 + x/n + o(1/n))^n = (1 + x/n)^n
$$

To do that, let's multiply $e^y$ by itself once:
$$
e^y e^y = (1 + y + o(y))(1 + y + o(y)) = 1 + 2y + o(y)
$$
and multiplying a third time:
$$
e^y e^y e^y = (1 + 2y + o(y))(1 + y + o(y)) = 1 + 3y + o(y)
$$
TODO conclude.

The <Lie algebra exponential covering problem> can be seen as a generalized version of this problem, because
* <Lie algebra> of <GL(n)> is just the entire <M_n>
* we can immediately exclude non-invertible matrices from being the result of the exponential, because $e^{tM}$ has inverse $e^{-tM}$, so we already know that non-invertible matrices are not reachable
