Re: A number problem.
Yes, hopefully millions of digits.
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.

I do not think it will be that monstrous.

Re: A number problem.
I am sure you know better than to give a problem which nobody is capable of solving even with the help of a CAS. There is just no point to it.

Re: A number problem.
Well there was a guy who calculated the first 50 digits of that 206 thousand digit number. He did it with pencil and paper.

Re: A number problem.
Because if he were around today he would run over the wimps that call themselves computational mathematicians of today. gAr and I were discussing this and both agreed. What would Euler or Newton have done if they had Mathematica or Sage or the internet?

They probably wouldn't do anything until they went out of the shock from seing a computer for the first time.

Re: A number problem.
Then they would have proceeded with blowing the doors off of today's math types. Anyone who can do the first 50 digits of that number is too good for me.

Not on the cattle of the sun problem! Not without a computer! This guy did it by hand in the 1880's.

You see there is an equation:

Re: A number problem.
Doesn't that mean that there is a limit to how much we can progress with technology?

Re: A number problem.
Nope, technology is unlimited. What it means is that as tecnology goes up the other factor goes down.

So, either my intelligence will soon begin decreasing or there won't be much progress in technology any time soon.
