    High School Can physics deal with the existence of Pi?

    It is not, are geometric considerations expressed in the language of maths, it is about the physical universe, all our formulae where Pi appears mean "Pi is a constant 3,14... in Euclidean space"

    High School Can physics deal with the existence of Pi?

    Yes, but if you do that you are using geometric considerations, "Pi" like "e" are derived from geometry and geometry is affected by the stress-energy tensor in GRT, except if you define you are living in a manifold and locally you see "flatland" and in flatland (yes) Pi = 3.14.., and all our...

    What Scientific Concept Was the Hardest For You to Comprehend?

    It is hard to say :sorry:, but that number Pi is not a geometrical constant … being still the same number we observe affecting our lives (equations): Fourier Series, Fourier Transforms, Leibniz Pi Series, Euler Identity, Gauss Law, Buffon’s Needle problem, Madhava-Leibniz series for Pi...

    Graduate What Do These Famous Quotes Reveal About the Minds of Great Scientists?

    "...I won't insist on any formal definition of 'cause' and will even admit that I have never seen anything in the life sciences that resembles the 'necessary and sufficient' conditions for causation that are so beloved of logicians..." Bill Shipley (Cause and Correlation in Biology, Cambridge...

    Graduate What Do These Famous Quotes Reveal About the Minds of Great Scientists?

    Y You are right, it could be traced to the proceedings of a 1994 conference in Adelaide, Australia, but I couldn't find its publication in a journal

    High School Is Radioactive Decay Uncaused/Causeless?

    Few days ago, I read an article "Half-life" in the page askamathematician.com. An extremely simple explanation of the phenomena Please tell me if I am proceeding in a wrong way giving the link ... Daniel

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    @pbuk The whole diagram is allowed (green) but it is not posible, since A is a subset of B, so A determines B value

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    Yes, you are right, it doesn't appear represented in the diagram 3 (A implies B) In the diagram 4 (A implies B) each line in the truth table has its own representation

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    Thanks pbuk, I tried to identify for both cases the accomplishing or not for the related rows in the truth table "A ⇒ B" Diagram #1 : (1, 2 , nothing, nothing) ⇒ OK Diagram #2 : (1, 2, 3, 4) ⇒ OK Diagram #3 : (1, not 2, 3, 4) ⇒ Not according with the truth table !? Diagram #4 : (1, 2, 3, 4) ⇒...

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    Thanks Justin, I'll watch the videos @fresh_42 Well, you can say that: if A(1) ⇒B(1) is also certain that B(0) ⇒ A(0) I understand your example Please, look at the "if and only if" image, specifically the diagram #2 (green parts are according to boolean expression), I can't assert that x ∈ A...

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    Thanks fresh_42, In the case of "A implies B" Boolean expression "-A + B" includes Venn diagrams 1, 3 and 5, Why those diagrams do not accomplish the truth table? Is that the Boolean expression is not equivalent to "A implies B"?

    Undergrad Implication, Boolean Expression and Venn Diagrams

    Hello, I’m having difficulties understanding logical relations “A implies B” and “A if and only if” using Boolean expressions and Venn diagrams, there is something where I’m wrong, but I could not find it out. Please, be benevolent and tell me where I’m wrong. Thanks Note : Obviously I’m...

    Graduate What Do These Famous Quotes Reveal About the Minds of Great Scientists?

    Fritz Zwicky were once inviting some graduate students for dinner. As the group was ringing the door bell, Zwicki's wife Dorothea opened and called into the house without intending to joke: "Fritz, the bastards are here!".
