We Use Math (Video)We Use Math: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYIv4jggQJc "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #2 2011-05-21 18:17:09
Re: We Use Math (Video)Hi MIF;
No comment.
There is a large super computer there that in addition to needing liquid nitrogen to cool it also requires that huge amounts of river water be pumped in for additional cooling. It does nothing else but compute probabilities for nuclear weapons...
Great mathematician but a little bit confused. I guess he meant the Borweins when he said anyone. 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. #3 2011-07-20 14:47:20
Re: We Use Math (Video)Love the video, but indeed a bit confusing. Math in English Math should be a game, shouldn't it? |
