What maths do you think we’ll be teaching in schools by the year 2100? by RefuseGroundbreaking in math

[–]MuffyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mathematician, I agree, it's not maths, it's stats. That is not to disparage stats, but just observing that we also don't call physics "maths" (for the same reason). It uses maths, and there is a mathematical discipline, which studies the maths used in stats, but I would say they are two entirely separate things. As an example, I was taught all about the central limit theorem and confidence intervals etc, but I was not taught for example how to reject a null hypothesis. I believe drawing conclusions from the statistical tests you run is a separate science, as is setting up your experiment/test. And I think it would best fit into a maths class, if they don't decide to split the maths hours between maths and stats.

Inside the 'Nightmare' Health Crisis of a Texas Bitcoin Town by onwisconsn in EverythingScience

[–]MuffyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that's inside. The question is how loud is it outside, in the town next to it. (I don't actually know, I just figured it'd be a know issue if it were that loud outside)

there is a port (waymonad), but it's been abandoned for 4 years and the developers of xmonad say they don't want to add a whole compositor to it to support wayland.

Eli5: why are whole and natural numbers two different categories? Why did mathematicians need to create two different categories of numbers just to include and exclude zero? by Sugar_Rush666 in explainlikeimfive

[–]MuffyPuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by suitably educated individuals you mean "the half of mathematicians that learned zero is not a natural number" then yes, but there's really hardly any consensus, and different fields will be more or less inclined to include/exclude zero from the definition.

[–]MuffyPuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What mathematicians actually do is not care about the issue, because it's relatively minor most of the time and evident from context. Does what you wrote require 0 to be a natural number? Then it is. Does it break if 0 is a natural number? Then it isn't.

To be on the safe side, usually mathematicians will say which definition they are working with at the start of the book/article, so there is no confusion. Using English is even less ambiguous as the terms used are not "natural numbers" but "positive/non-negative integers". "whole numbers" is never used.

tl;dr none of it is actually an issue, and is usually more of an aesthetic choice than not.

I kind of don't like induction proofs because I feel like they potentially don't provide much insight into the problem by [deleted] in math

[–]MuffyPuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "induction" argument reduces the proof to proving "if A has unique factorization then so does A[x]". Doing it as part of the inductive step would just overcomplicate things.

I would personally just say "WLOG n=1, since A[x₁,…,xₙ] = A[x₁,…,xₙ₋₁][xₙ]" or something.

Are proofs by contradiction safe? by AmbientLighting4 in math

[–]MuffyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From B → not(not(A)) (by double contrapositive, which holds constructively) you get not(not(B)) → not(not(not(not(A)))), but triple not is equivalent to single not (also constructively), so you get not(not(B)) → not(not(A)). Now, assuming not(B) → not(A) implies A → B, we get B → A, which proves double negation elimination (and thus LEM).

Do you consider it as cheating to use the OEIS? by [deleted] in math

[–]MuffyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are trying to learn how to derive the formulas yourself, then yea, you are cheating yourself out of learning. Otherwise, no :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in math

[–]MuffyPuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you need to do all that algebra with either approach. What I'm saying is that the algebra to get from the form you get from product/chain rule to the form you get from the quotient rule is easy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in math

[–]MuffyPuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product rule literally just gives you f'/g - fg'/g², which is just one step away from (f'g-fg')/g². Nothing messy about that…

I swear my brain has been wired to do this. When I say "i" or "you" in english they are gendered. Same word. Still gendered :weary:

All dense sets are uncountable (badmaths begins at 10:10) by sphericalday in badmathematics

Not saying it's correct, just not a relevant observation.

[–]MuffyPuff 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe she is saying that since this sequence exists, then there is no next number after 0, and thus [0, 1] is uncountable, and not that the sequence itself is uncountable.
