I was made aware of this by my doctor when we talked about whole milk vs 2% milk. Whole milk is made mostly of water, its ingredients are what determines its caloric content. Marketing makes the consumer believe that 2% milk has only 2% fat ss compered to whole milk. But the reality is 2%...

But the point of the video is to teach us how to use the lambert function to solve a problem not how to intelligently guess the answer. In the case of the original expression here, students might guess similarly setting a=b and yet miss 2^4-4^2 solution.

Deep fakes are here. AI can now animate people long since gone making us believe they said something they didn’t. My favorites are the recent glut of “lost” Bruce Lee videos where has a match with this opponent or another. These videos drive clicks on social media. But sadly they are all fake...

The Lambert function comes up in a lot of math videos. Here's one such video:

My high school friend in the 1960s played with this problem for a long time. I never understood what he was trying to determine. He was an MAA champion and was on the team that went to England to compete with the English and Russians. The US team came in last because they were used to...

So it seems like the music producers were concerned about copyright issues. There's some other stuff in the Wikipedia article about some stations banning the song because they were unsure of the lyrics and that the song was actually describing an American Bison.

Interesting proof: my old teacher, not as old as Euclid, showed flaws in geometric intersections—arcs and lines often nearly intersect but form tiny triangles, invalidating proofs. Some angles are trisectable, but not all. It was proven in 1837 by Wantzel that a compass and straightedge were...

I had always heard it as "Here there be Dragons!" It kind of sounded like the classic pirate captain Long John Silver played by Robert Newton in Treasure Island. He set the standard for pirate speech.

One could argue that theres nothing under the Sun and yet every living thing is unique. An aside: If you were born in the year 1952 after the lunar new year and into 1953 before the lunar new year then you be a water dragon like me.

That blogger skillfully dodged a plagiarism lawsuit.

Congratulations! It’s hard work writing and writing and rewriting a book. I’m went through that for a couple years and needed to shelve the project to get some rest. Your book reminds me of a 1950s classic called Strangely Enough by CB Colby. I got my copy in third grade via the Scholastic...

Thanks, @wrobel, for posting these problem sets. How do these problems compare to Goldstein, Marion, or Taylor's books? Are they undergraduate or graduate level? This could help other posters decide whether to attempt them. Is there one problem that really stands out? When I was an...

Hi David, Sadly Zenodo is not a peer-reviewed reputable journal. I encourage you to read our global guidelines (url is in my signature below) to learn more about PF. We have this stipulation for a reason. Too many times, we get posters wanting to push their personal theory of everything and...

Hi @DavidMartin, I read your paper and was surprised by its topic and how well you laid out your reasoning. I hope you're trying to get it published. Sadly, at PF we cannot review any unpublished papers or personal theories. Consequently, I've had to remove the link to your paper. Please take...
