AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on finding the general solution to the Diophantine equation x(x-1)/(y(y-1)) = 1/2. Participants are asked for assistance in solving this equation, which involves integer solutions. The equation can be manipulated to explore relationships between x and y, leading to potential solutions. The thread emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in mathematics. Overall, the goal is to derive integer values for x and y that satisfy the given equation.

Hello!
I am trying to find the general solution of this equation, could you help me?
\dfrac{x(x-1)}{{y(y-1)}} =1/2

Thank you so much!

Thread 'Value of intuitionistic logic'

I'm taking a look at intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL). Basically it exclude Double Negation Elimination (DNE) from the set of axiom schemas replacing it with Ex falso quodlibet: ⊥ → p for any proposition p (including both atomic and composite propositions). In IPL, for instance, the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) p ∨ ¬p is no longer a theorem. My question: aside from the logic formal perspective, is IPL supposed to model/address some specific "kind of world" ? Thanks.

Thread 'Bell's Theorem looks like Monty Hall problem in reverse'

Hi, I want to discuss what and IF others have noted the comparison of the Monty Hall problem (or identical ones in different form) to Bell's Theorem because I understood that it was used to argue that quantum entanglement exists by showing no hidden factor yet the puzzle requires a hidden factor. ?

Thread 'Onto set mapping is the surjective set mapping, and into injective?'

The textbook is being fine. I asked the forum for some introduction to topology, and decided to start with Simmon`s. This naive question is due to ignorance of the words into and onto, which I don't distinguish in Spanish. A quick browsing sugests I'm right.
