Re: Proof by Computer
Thanks for the link.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Hi ProvedAPointRIAI or MathGenius1 or MG1 or ARB...
What did you learn how to do now? You have to stick to the topic of the thread. Oh, and by the way, if you are going to pass me something make it money.
