Re: Look Around You - Maths
Hi MathsisFun;
For the introductory problem:
I have heard of the controversy surrounding 45 000 000 000. I want you to know I do not favor the extremists who believe there is an integer larger than it.
I don't know about you but the problem before number 2, n^2 + 9 + 9 is amazing. That's a great toaster too,
I got a different answer to problem 3 but sorry that 8 pence answer totally beat me.
Excellent video!
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
