HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

...really creative of you to think of something like that
What is it, specifically, that you've found to be "really creative"? (I'm curious.)

Along with the OP, I'm also anxious to see what you come up with AAA!

:)

hmmm..I think just the idea of coming up with something like that. Like creating a math equation from a story.. ?
 
Pure math may say nothing about love, but applied math, such as counting …

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the breadth and depth and height
My soul can reach, when flying out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

The answer is my friend blowing in the wind - not in Fast Fourier Transform!

Fair enough, but are you thinking about valid mathematical equations demonstrating the proof that Math Loser is trying to write, or is it some other kind of "math" that you intend to create?

You'd told Subhotosh earlier that he can mathematically express the truthfulness of a statement regarding a mother's love for her children. Were you thinking about a whimsical type of mathy thing?

:)

A mathematician named Dodson invented that kind of math. It is mimsy in its borogroves. Whimsy is a common error.

I remember - he wrote a "Treatise on Trigonomey" and sent a signed copy of the first edition to queen Victoria, because she asked for the first copy of the next publication after "Through the looking glass".

That is funny.

lol who said math says anything about love...

the poem is amazing..I love poetry..

no I dont think I'll call it "valid" math equations because its not valid..maybe its just a math I intense to create ?. Actually how do we even know that mathematics itself is valid?

And about mathematically expressing the statement regarding a mother's love for her children...hmmm I wasnt thinking a whimsical type of mathy thing. Its just that because math is sooo unpredictable...it is possible to create a not so valid math equation about anything really! I know it sounds stupid but isn't that what math Is all about...


Motherly Love Equation created by the Not so mathematician Melody!

the square root of infintiy+60x=infinity(x)

haha do you have any questions about this seemingly mathematical equation ?
 
… I dont think I'll call it "valid" math …
Good. We're on the same page (at the top of which appears the heading, 'This thread is about how not to use mathematics').

… how do we even know that mathematics itself is valid?
Outside of its demonstrability within our body of knowledge and how we make use of its usefulness in our universe, we don't know! †

? How do you interpret validity.

[regarding] mathematically expressing…a mother's love for her children…it is possible to create a not so valid math equation about anything really!
Agree! Thanks for clarifying your belief that Subhotosh cannot represent love with valid math.

…[my] Motherly Love Equation:
square root of infintiy + 60x = infinity(x)
haha do you have any questions about this…
No questions, Melody. But here's how I parsed it:

square root of infinity ≈ an infinitely-large Real number
60x ≈ a relatively-insignificant Real number
infinity(x) ≈ another infinitely-large Real number

In other words, at face value, your equation represents this (my interpretation): "Adding a little bit to something that's already infinitely large doesn't change it; hence, the small amount may be ignored."

So, were you trying to express (via "seemingly" math) a thought similar to this: Motherly love is so immense that the occassional urges to kill her offspring may be ignored in the big scheme of things?

haha ;)



† In Neil DeGrasse Tyson's book, 'Astrophysics for People in a Hurry", the popular scientist reveals (if I'm not mistaken) one of his greatest nightmares: That the system of mathematics we've created is missing something really important.

Yes, if you are satisfied with approximate answers,

I thought Godell had already shown that math is incomplete.

I hear Alice Cooper singing:

Welcome to my nightmare
I think you'll like it here...
 
I thought Godell had already shown that math is incomplete.
For some applications, it sure is!

Here it comes … here it comes …

This person claims to have gone 11 years without seeing their reflection. How can I mathematically prove this to be true or false or at least figure out an equation to figure out an possible or impossible outcome… I just cannot fathom how to put this into perspective without some sort of mathematical explanation. I would appreciate any help. Thank you for your reply.

After reading your attachment, I would think the subject had gone blind at one point.
The person can know where certain objects are, such as mirrors. The subject can
"look" in the direction of the mirror (or other reflective surface) and not see himself of herself because he/she is blind.
 
Beer induced non sequitur ramblings follow.
