Re: ExpectationIt is kinda nice. The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. “It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!” ― Richard Feynman “A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón #202 2013-03-21 00:05:11
Re: ExpectationWhat would that be? 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. #203 2013-03-21 00:07:55
Re: ExpectationLast Saturday was the Serbian Republic competition in mathematics. I got a third place award and I am going to the Serbian Mathematical Olympiad.

Re: ExpectationCongratulations! I am glad to hear that, you will do well. 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. #205 2013-03-21 00:12:04

Re: ExpectationWhat do you feel your strongest field is? In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: ExpectationI think combinatorics. And then number theory.

Re: ExpectationThey are related in an obscure way. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: ExpectationWell, in competitive mathematics, they are not related at all...

Re: ExpectationWhat type of number theory do you like best? 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. #211 2013-03-21 00:53:41
Re: ExpectationI don't like it much. I just get ideas faster than in other 3 topics that are included in the competition.

Re: ExpectationWhat are the other 3 topics? 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. #213 2013-03-21 01:05:19
Re: ExpectationActually, sorry. I get ideas slower in the 2 other topics, analysis and geometry.
