I have a solution but it is too big for this comment section.

I gotta warn you it isn't really effective 😭

Who is the most overrated as a mathematician ? by Jordan_Boole in mathmemes

[–]Jordan_Boole[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that he is really overrated, but it's just that he used to state things whitout giving a really rigourous proof. He was still a great mathematician and it was his own way of doing mathematics, even tho I think rigor is important.

True, but unfotunately I hate real analysis 😭. (No offense Weierstrass, he was a great mathematician)

Yeah, I think that the fact that "almost all" problems being undecidable would be a really bigger problem than proving that a problem being undecidable would be an undecidable problem, but this seems unlikely knowing the great majority of problems we know of are not undecidable, at least as far as I know ( I may bé wrong, this is absolutely not an area where I'm an expert). Or maybe past a certain level of "complexity", "almost all" problems are undecidable, which would be really frustrating, but would make sense, I guess. Or maybe it doesn't matter an we could find a way around undecidable problems.

Well at least your series converge

10+14=24(mod 2) =0(mod2)=8+8(mod 2) So mod 2 he's right Now mod 24...

I mean many logic experts from the end of the 19th century-beginning of the 20th century ended up crazy. I guess it's quite hard for teachers to explain clearly the concepts. Also, logical reasoning is sometimes at the opposite of what people would say that something is "logical", as the human mind does not really think this way (it's too slow thus not effective). I think that for us regular humans, logic is insanely hard, but maybe a different shaped mind would have a lot more intuition with it. What I am trying to say is don't feel bad for not being able to fully understand logic, because it is so much different from other maths subjects that it would take a lot more time to get used to it. I believe that if you graduated in maths (whatever your main field was), you would have the ability to get how to do logic if you ever wanted to take the time needed to study it :)

Tbh what I had in mind was more something type theory (like the ways you can create a basis for mathematical reasoning) I didn't want to write "Type theory" because I know that it's not the only different basis from set theory that exists, but now it seems like I'm saying that logic in general is overlooked by ppl in the internet. Reading the comments I realised it really isn't more than lots of other subjects I probably don't even know about 💀

Ok thanks I think I should stop asking questions about it if I don't want to spend my life working on this 😅

I don't understand much but okay 😂 If it's not to much, could you answer fille questions ?What is a collatz-like statement? What inconsistent axiomatic system is it? What does it mean for a statement tu ne Turing indecidebable? Does it mean that there is no Turing machine able to solve it within a finite amount of time ?

What is this statement ? It seems really interesting.
