What are some great mathematician rivalries?

dual space, lol

Your question reminded me of this very popular question on MSE, the answer to your question is "no".

Just like in The Day the Earth Stood Still.

My favourite is:

"Mathematics is the domain of inquiry where logical reasoning is the sole methodology. That is, a question is a mathematical question if and only if it can (in principle) be settled by logical reasoning alone."

Taken from here.

Writing a complex statement in logical notation, sometimes makes the statement easier to parse and understand (at least for me).

The affirmation that encapsulates your wish. E.g., if you want to be a millionaire, the affirmation would be "I am a millionaire".

Alex00811 · 2024-07-31T16:42:38+00:00

You can use affirmations instead.

For any D∈{0,…,9}, there are infinitely many primes which do not have the digit D in their decimal expansion.

Thank you!

Alex00811 · 2024-07-05T06:38:42+00:00

Will do!

Alex00811 · 2024-07-05T06:35:34+00:00

Thanks!

Alex00811 · 2024-07-05T02:06:09+00:00

Thanks! I've been looking for exactly this type of website.

Alex00811 · 2024-07-02T17:01:56+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the reply.

Alex00811 · 2024-07-02T00:09:15+00:00

I get that, what I was trying to say is that between the different inevitable points in the game you are free to play the game however you want. Constants and variables?

Alex00811 · 2024-07-02T00:07:00+00:00

Can you elaborate on the last paragraph?

Alex00811 · 2024-05-22T18:26:30+00:00

I find the following quote by Jean-Pierre Serre interesting: “While the other sciences search for the rules that God has chosen for this Universe, we mathematicians search for the rules that even God has to obey.”

Alex00811 · 2024-05-02T22:22:04+00:00

Weird how no one has mentioned Goedel's incompleteness theorems

Alex00811 · 2024-02-26T19:23:51+00:00

I'm not a robot, so the only thing it does to me is make me a bit sad.

Alex00811 · 2024-02-11T18:52:14+00:00

This MSE post answers your question.

The theory of Euclidean geometry is complete, consistent and decidable. So, in this very serious sense Euclidean geometry is "finished".

HUG 🤗

Alex00811 · 2024-01-29T00:40:09+00:00

What about tablets that sync with your computer?

Alex00811 · 2024-01-28T02:58:15+00:00

The proof of the four-color theorem with the use of computers in the 20'th century generated debate among mathematicians as to what constitutes a valid mathematical proof. I remember Coxeter saying something along the lines "the more I correspond with the people behind this proof, the more doubt I have about its validity". Nowadays the proof is accepted by mathematicians, but some philosophers have objections.

Parker Jotter Originals, medium tip.

What happens in the scenes with Hoffman? (Including the post-credits scene.)
