Re: Important Math Question
Do you know anything about calculus? What limits and derivatives are?

Re: Important Math Question
well, i know what they are if your not talking about math. but math terms tend to have their own reality.

Re: Important Math Question
That are strictly based on "normal" reality, and vice versa... try googling for some intro to calculus site if you want to learn more.

Re: Important Math Question
This thread has an "astronomical" number of many weird incorrect statements in it.
What kind of new math is this?

Dude, 0 + 1 = 1.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't notice this had been pointed out so many times before. There are a bunch of similar logic leaps earier, but uff, I should be programming.

Ok, math and logic are failing me. I must resort to poetry.

Hot enough for you?

Re: Important Math Question
I saw a show Last night on PBS. It was on Strings, SuperStrings and "M" theory. First I heard of M, but it sounded interesting. Our universe (or the one MOST of us are from) is modeled as a slice of bread. It was on a string construct called a "brane".
Anybody heard of this before?
