Description:
As Benjamin Peirce said, Mathematics is "the science that draws necessary conclusions"
Gauss called it "the queen of sciences"
And as Einstein once said: "as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
What the hell? :)

chanceOf($godExists > $conceptOfi) ( 1 replies )
Let me just start by saying I do not believe god exists its just something to chew over. Math is basis of which we base all factual law on. Physics (the law of the universe) is governed my math. In math there is a concept: I being the square route of -1. Now we all know the the sqrt of -1 is illogical because its not NON (not a number (it\'s a concept)). So the probability of god existing (as an entity not a concept) is greater than the sqrt of -1 ex...Click Here | By james.vince

Mathematical Proverb ( 1 replies )
"If it quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. Now suppose you are aware that there is only one duck in the world, and you have just found an animal that quacks. Then, by golly, you have found the duck!" I quoted that from a very nice book called A Transition to Abstract Mathematics by Randall B. Maddox. I'm only into the second chapter, and this book already has the potential to be one of my favorites. Logically equivalent statements: If it quacks like a duck, ...Click Here | By Jeffrey

mathematical puzzle ( 1 replies )
Two perfect logicians, S and P, are told that integers x and y have been chosen such that 1 < x < y and x+y < 100. S is given the value x+y and P is given the value xy. They then have the following conversation. P: I cannot determine the two numbers. S: I knew that. P: Now I can determine them. S: So can I. Given that the above statements are true, what are the two numbers?...Click Here | By sourab.bose

i demand real LaTeX ( 3 replies )
the latex implementation on shuzak is partial at best, and misrepresentative at worst... it's not jawad's fault, it's a built in encoder if i understand correctly. the point is that it doesn't listen to the same commands that latex does, which makes it very confusing for any users that are used to real latex (esp. tetex). i think it would be great to have an actual latex interface, so that you could type latex into a post and it would render it correctly. i also have n...Click Here | By jared.nance
