Re: Small letters after tagsYes, I may have mentioned that. One must be like Edison if you are to truly make progress. 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. #127 2012-07-14 11:36:20
Re: Small letters after tagsAre you more than 50 years old? The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. “It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!” ― Richard Feynman “A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón #128 2012-07-14 11:41:00
Re: Small letters after tagsThere are some who believe I am that old or that young. They are mistaken. I recently had a photo sent to me by a poster here with the comment,"I have found you! Now you will pay dearly. I will drain the mathematics from your melon like head." 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. #129 2012-07-14 11:44:00
Re: Small letters after tagsBut you have given me many information aboit your age.

Re: Small letters after tagsFor one thing you are not the only person reading these posts. People I know are in here under false names and as guests, watching. It is surprising to me that you claim to read those Japanese short novels. You have spoken to the person who introduced you to them. Have you learned nothing from that? In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Small letters after tagsThat is what e-mail is for.

Re: Small letters after tagsIs that secure on both ends? Can you really trust anyone today? In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Small letters after tagsNot really, but I do not see how you can tell anyone anything about yourself, which you have done.

Re: Small letters after tags
What is the meaning of GiB?
They are not illegible characters They are 1337 speak Search the wikipedia for it
What is that? and what was I recently pulling as bobbym said in #56?
Not exactly, but it makes me feel smart 'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.' 'God exists because Mathematics is consistent, and the devil exists because we cannot prove it' 'The whole person changes, why can't a habit?' -65 #135 2012-07-14 15:39:31

Whom are you talking about?? 'And fun? If maths is fun, then getting a tooth extraction is fun. A viral infection is fun. Rabies shots are fun.'

Re: Small letters after tags
Yes, but that was between you and I. Agnishom was asking for some clarification. I gave him some without going any deeper than the posts did. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Small letters after tags
I've popped in from time to time but mainly just to catch up on the latest posts. Bob recently solved one of my puzzles (the "More or Less" cross-number) and I posted then...but that was the last time, I think.
