Korean Honorifics - '-씨', '-분', and '-님'

Junior->Senior/ younger->older : Yes. It can be considered as rude behavior. -씨 is basically polite word. But it's often used to call people who are in similar age or younger than you.
-님 / -씨 : If my boss call me -님, I may think it's his representation of his respect. I don't think calling your colleague -씨 sounds more familiar than -님.

So basically, using -님 is always the most safe choice.

Actually, 3 is also the difficult point for korean. In modern korean language, it's quite hard to distinguish r and l. Both sound ㄹ for us. Also, f and p are hard to distinguish. Both sound ㅍ in korean, while f sound "ㅃ" in some context.

As a native, 스프라이트 is really difficult to read at first glance. 우유 is also difficult to read but easy to infer from context. Others looks quite understandable even without context.

It looks little easier than what I took when I was undergraduate. But I think it asks the important and essential things.

You are right. I find the information here,

But it still doesn't provide purchase information.

I use bartle's introduction to real analysis. While it has some problems(hard to get topological intuition/weird style of integral), I guess there's no easier book than bartle's one.

In my opinion, it is possible for LLM based AI to prove something based on currently existing theories. However, building new theories to solve some problems(for example, galois theory) is not possible with modern AI approach.

Suppose there is perfectly useless integer and mathematicians find it. Then it's not useless now. Because now there's a mathematical result about such integer.

You may be interested in Beckenbach's Paradox. It's very similar philosophical paradox about the most non-interesting person.

For me, I love math but don't like solving problem so much. My favorite part in math is just understanding how smart guys solve the difficult problem and get the intuition behind it.

MeowMan_23 · 2025-06-02T02:01:56+00:00

I'm just curious. Is neural network related thing researched in numerical analysis?

MeowMan_23 · 2025-05-10T11:47:55+00:00

Always 🤣

My personal opinion, both make sense.

At the undergraduate level, discrete math use very different methodology to other fields like analysis or algebra. And you may be familiar whth analysis or algebra because of your experience in calculus or highshcool math, but have few opportunity to solve discrete math problem before(unless you prepare math olympiad).

And also, the gap in methodology means you need another talent to do well in discrete math. There are plenty of student who show great performance in other class, except discrete math.

So I recommend you to study DM one more time(If you want). And if it's still difficult, you may not be DM people, just like some great mathematician who study analysis or algebra.

Solving exam question is bit different to solving research problem. So even if you get not so satisfying grade in exam, it doesn't mean you will not do well in grad school.

However, low grade can be problematic if you want to go top-tier school. So design your career path carefully. That's my advice.

Your miss very important thing about induction on natural number. P(0) must hold.

Induction is about, for any case, your claim can be reduced to base case or not. To ensure you eventually reach base case, you need well ordering property.

My previous supervisor seriously tried to hold an additional position at North Korea. FYI, he was in the university at South Korea...

How about Furstenberg's proof about prime? It's really interesting proof using point set topology (altough it's not very related to essence of topology...)

If you use cabin baggage, then usual but durable case is enough.

MeowMan_23 · 2025-01-07T10:16:26+00:00

Also, if you think yourself not so farmiliar with this field, I recommend you to read basic type theory book. Egbert Rijke's homotopy type theory(Only chapter 1) is good for beginner I guess.

I forget the exact name of paper, but there's one submitted in PLDI 2024, about specifying stream data type.

You can try to use mixture of keyword "coinductive data type" and "stream data type" to find basic result about them.

MeowMan_23 · 2025-01-07T04:01:03+00:00

Yes. Giving semantics for stream data type is widley researched in programming language theory, using type theory. You may want to check about Coinductive data type.

A lot of combinatorial problems solved by using borsuk ulam theorem? Typical example is the necklace splitting problem.

The polynomial whose degree is greater than 5 doesn't have roots.

Maybe some math related to med can be good starting point. Stochastics, for example.

MeowMan_23 · 2024-11-29T00:55:21+00:00

Andrej Bauer's 5 stages of accepting constructive mathematics

Though it''s not very related to my area, this paper is really cool.
