Re: Hi everyone
Hi nevinsmith;
Hmmmm, that is about what age I learned it too. Taught myself. We did not have forums or computers back then, or paper and pencil. Just a sandy beach ( which was clean back then but full of sharks ) to write on and some smooth stones to count with. You will be expected to do a lot better!
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.
