jedishrfu replied to the thread Is mathematics invented or discovered?.@Hill I think that’s very insightful. It’s like we create/invent a game with rules on how to play it and then we discover strategies on... -
jedishrfu replied to the thread Is mathematics invented or discovered?.Why not pick simpler examples like ##\pi## or e? These constants have interesting properties and appear in unexpected places. -
jedishrfu replied to the thread Is mathematics invented or discovered?.The magic of math is that we can use it to make predictions in many fields. When you say math hides what's going on in physics, it's... -

jedishrfu replied to the thread Undergrad "Alien objects", Stillwell's "Reverse Mathematics".I guess it's a matter of perspective. Historically, we discovered real numbers first and derived the others by deleting an axiom. But... -
jedishrfu replied to the thread Undergrad Computable sequence of rationals with a noncomputable limit.You are summing to n not to infinity. Convergence doesn't come into play. A finite expansion will have a finite number of terms and in... -
jedishrfu replied to the thread Undergrad "Alien objects", Stillwell's "Reverse Mathematics".My understanding is that adding or strengthening an axiom produces these objects. They are in a sense odd edge cases that pop up when... -
jedishrfu replied to the thread Undergrad Computable sequence of rationals with a noncomputable limit.Doesn't this come from the series being finite binary expansion? Being finite it will sum to a finite number. -
