Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

Okay, I saw that in the other thread too. A good thing is I do not have 20,000 lifetime points

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

But I cannot recommend deleting the threads. They have some good math and discussions in it.

1. I am not harming myself.
2. I am not harming the MIF community.
3. I am not harming them since I've not requested any point-exchange from them.

Please tell me if I am doing a morally unethical thing:
If yes, I am sorry.
If no, I do not care about points

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

I am not judging you. I did not know that you did not care. I was only warning you in case it mattered. I have removed my responses, I do not want to be the cause of it if he comes in here. Google has it on top so if he googles he is sure find it.

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

I know but please judge me.

Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

Your conduct in these matters is for you to judge and not me. I am old fashioned. In my day, you would be considered an adult, a man. It is your judgement now that counts.

For one thing, I do not know what you did.

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

I shared something from brilliant on this website? Is it ethically wrong?

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

Okay, have you noticed that brilliant claims that all these problems can be solved without a computer?

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

I solve more than 40% of it by programming

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

As you know I solve more than that using anything I can.

Someone should tell them that so can every multiplication problem be done eventually with pencil and paper. But why would I want to!

Okay, I think I solve 80% f it with a computer

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

Good for you! Me and my pal work on them. My pal is dumb beyond belief but he is a great mathematician when asked to sum series, integrate, differentiate, plot, solve equations, plot recurrences, solve recurrences, do Markov chains, generating functions...

So all I basically do is rework every problem I see into one of those forms and then he takes over. "The Teakettle Principle!"

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

Because he is no smarter than a cricket? Actually the cricket is smarter. He can not do any mathematics other than what I mentioned above. He needs me to phrase it so he can understand it. We work together and do better than either of us could alone.

Re: Somebody please tell how to do these factorisation

There are different versions of that joke though.

A patient of asthma went to the doctor and asked for treatment. The doctor asked him to pour 3 buckets of ice-cold water on a chilly night. The patient inquired how that would help. To this the doctor replied that he would catch Pneumonia. The patient was astonished and the doctor cleared his doubt, "I can treat pneumonia a lot more efficiently"
