Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

well in this case setting 0! to 0 just makes a useless branch of mathematics. the fork just isnt interesting
Any particular reason it was that one?
More like Linear Algebra
some form of that (without the labels) would be a classy way to do it
only smart people would get it
If you're going to go that route do a cool proof. We had presidents that thought this shit up during congressional hearings and had discussions about it.
How many congressman we have now do you think could understand this:
One of the good things that my teacher does is use the complicated solutions to stuff like 0! = 1, even if only a few people in the class get it. A lot better than teaching to the slowest students like most teachers at my high school do and ignoring the other end of the class. I'm not trying to blow my own trumpet here, being better at maths than the people at my school is really nothing.

I was at a physics bowl once in high school, and at the end, our team was in a three-way tie for 1st. They asked us about six tie-breaker questions, which all three teams kept getting right, when the moderator finally threw up his hands and said "Whoever knows the most digits of pi wins!"
I won $40 for everyone on my team.
Also, I submit that knot theory is the sexiest math.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
Only one of them that I recall has actually gotten it, and it took them a good whole lunch period to figure it out.
On review, it appears I swapped a few digits
whoops
I've always wondered how accurate these lists were. Is there like a notepad file somewhere that has the actual listing of the numbers or what?
Hahaha, the last bit I know is ...327950, just barely enough to correct you.
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them

"How many digits of Pi should you know?
3.14 - Enough for common man.
3.141591 - Enough for Scientists.
3.141592653........ - You're an asshole.
Yeah
I originally memorized it in syllabicly pleasing blocks, of three at first (six-two-six four-three-three eight-three-two seven-nine-five, etc)
832 795 1497 0288 169 39937 510 582
I swapped the positions of the 0288 and 1497 blocks, and 1497 should actually be 4197
hurray, wasted hours in math class

x^2 - x^2 = x^2 - x^2
x ( x - x ) = (x + x) ( x - x)
x = 2x
I hope I didn't fuck it up
What is wrong with it :
Please explain as you would to a child or dog.

I was in there once. We picked up a couple of eigenvalues and went to see The Matrix.

what is up, sir

I told a mathematician about the plot of PI once and boy did he laugh his ass off.
His simple reply was, "No."
Humans have quite a habit of looking for patterns in everything though, like that rock on mars that looked like a face and then NASA took another picture at a different time of day from a different angle and it looked like nothing.

I liked the part where they said they were looking for a 216-digit number and that they'd tried them all.

I remember once the conversation had turned to big numbers and he threw out something and I just came right back with either g_64 or A(g_64,g_64), I can't remember which, but he was just like "Damn, you don't fuck around, do you?"
(I do not.)
But yeah, I get the feeling we're in about the same boat, finding really it fascinating but not being very good at actually working through it all.

Sometimes I think Graham brought attention to that number just to spite the future. Seems to be the growing trend. Another 500 years from now, math and sadism will be considered the same fetish.
At what point in the future does math become a fetish?
