Before taking an advanced mathematical logic course, I would have said that pure math should be studied for its own sake. Now I'm not so sure.horrors, does pure math have a point?
Yes. Modern topology was founded by Poincare and Brouwer in their study of the behavior of solutions of ordinary differential equations. Theorems of topology have unbelievably powerful applications in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. Ie., the Brouwer fixed point theorem, the Poincare index theorem, the generalized Jordan curve theorem/Mazur's theorem, the Hopf fibration, knot theory, the study of cohomology and the discovery of category theory. As in many areas of pure mathematics, the results far outweigh the initial seed of studying ordinary differential equations.Sorry for the novice-ness, but what realm of mathematics is that? It is topology?
A concept in pure maths can have a use that is not apparent until several decades after it's been discovered.horrors, does pure math have a point?
the cartesian plane has points?Does anything have a point?
Euclidean geometry has points. Are you calling Euclid a liar?Does anything have a point?
Points are undefined elements in Euclidean geometry. :tongue: Similar to the direction of this thread.Euclidean geometry has points. Are you calling Euclid a liar?
In the spirit of an engineer and physicist, the mathematics has to be created before we can apply it. It might now currently have an application but perhaps in the future it could.ok
MY QUESTION IS... ok...
they figure out how to turn that sphere inside out...
WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL USE OF THIS...or there isn't any and matematicians are just doing their research for the sake of nothing...
Does that help other sciences to create some assumptions or models for something that can be practical or bring improvements to something not so developed...
i don't get it....
and furthermore...they set conditions to whatever they want to do...
what if that matter can be bended SHARPLY or be creased - and the surface can't go thru itself... what would then happen...... idk..
they prove something that it is impossible in practice and even it is impossible in its abstract version if they do not set the needed conditions and rules in this abstract world :)... why do they do that then?
Simple: the sphere we are talking about is not solidI have a question: How does a sphere pass through itself, if it is supposed to be a solid object?
are you serious dude? did you seriously try to steal my joke?Euclidean geometry has points. Are you calling Euclid a liar?
