When you use a circular argument, but you are unable to see where exactly your logical error is.

That's really difficult to look at. It's so clearly a spiral, even once you've worked out it isn't.

abstract nonsense = category theory

This would be in another dictionary, because even most mathematicians see category theory as abstract nonsense.

Perfect! And I finally understood the co- / contravariant usage by physicist, because the proper usage in category theory ...

I would have changed the classical section a bit:

basic operations = commutative algebra
classical field theory = Galois theory
field = real or complex numbers
mathematical analysis = calculus
measure theory = analysis

I herewith propose this image (1st one) as fb ad for PF!

turbo button! ... After pushing the button and noting no differences, you pushed it again, wondering if it was working.
When the TURBO feature was discontinued, the cases used by the local builders still came with the button and display, so obviously they had to hook up the display, even though the button didn't do anything.

Just for the greenhorns: these numbers did not represent GHz.
Btw., do young people still know what a jumper is?

Nah, they just it's something you put on when it's cold outside.

In Oz and NZ it was for MHz of the CPU ... GHz processors were a very long way in the future :wink:

Well, you're real close, but not quite correct... . :oldwink:

In Montana, a jumper is...

The last pickup to leave the parking lot... . "when it's cold outside."
Lol... . :approve:

And man alive, it does get cold there. I saw the bank thermometer in Lolo, MT one evening showing -39. That's the "banana belt," as they call it around there, so called because it's warmer than, say, Havre, up on the Highline.

BTW, for our more cosmopolitan friends, -40 F = -40 C, so when it's -39 out, it doesn't matter much which scale you're measuring by ...

Chuck Norris can count real numbers.
Chuck Norris can shave all those and only those who don't shave themselves.
Chuck Norris can prove the Banach-Tarski theorem - by explicit construction.
Chuck Norris can prove his own consistency without being inconsistent.

Hope you got that XD

We have a bell button on the gate. We never had an actual bell, but we have a button anyway.
When somebody coming and there is no button, they tends to get nervous and start shouting inside if we are at home or not.
Since there is a button, they just push it a few times and then calmly go away.
So that button has a significant contribution to the overall calmness of the world.
