Oh, no, Bob, it is also certain that a genooine understanding of trig, calculus, counting numbers, engineering and computer science will require a foundational knowledge of infinity, for example, why 1+2+3+4+ ... = -1/12 ;-) Hardy saw this in the notes of Ramanujan (“The Man Who Knew Inf

The only thing that is certain about infinity is that it will remain a theoretical abstract forever. ;-) Bob S On May 23, 2016, at 01:35 , Ali Lloyd mailto:ali.ll...@livecode.com>> wrote: Having fairly recently done a PhD in set theory, I can confirm that the independence of the continuum hyp

(Try again, apologies for accidentally sending) ... typo When you said " 2^AJ=A(J+1)" I wonder if you meant "2^AJ >= A(J+1)" To many that may seem like nit-picking, but it is a NIT. However, if you MEANT what you wrote, then it is a YUGE NIT. It would mean that someone (Halmos?) found an e

Doc Hawk, I'm envious that you took a course from Halmos, but I question what is probably a typo. "Dr. Hawkins" wrote: Well, which infinity? aleph-naught (A0) is the count of the integers/wholes/natural A1=2^A0, the count of the reals. For that mater 2^AJ=A(J+1) A1-A0=A1 Aj^n=Aj A0 is als
