I didn't mean to imply that the steps are done consciously.
What I meant was that there is more recalling involved (more of step 1) when you want to say something than when you want to prove something. Of course you are not aware of it. The brain does it subconsciously.
- bobwaycott 10y agoCurious, because I'm not a mathematician: is it typical to say "proof" something versus "prove" something? I noticed you used that twice now. My brain keeps autocorrecting it, but I'm ignorant and would love to update my rules if needed. :)
- lumberjack 10y agoNo. I make that typo all the time though. It's just that due to my accent I do not differentiate between "prove" and "proof" and always voice the words as "proof" so I always write "proof".
- bobwaycott 10y agoOh, okay. My bad. Thought that's how mathematics may have preferred to talk.
