How can you do this without the Fubini-Tonelli theorem?
etc. etc. etc.
- rocqua 9y agoBy talking about the operations without giving the rigorous backgrounds. Heck, you can do quite a bit with rieman integrals, and for e.g. binomial distributions you just need sums.
- catnaroek 9y agoThis is exactly what leaves many people feeling like mathematics is a bunch of unmotivated tricks and rabbits pulled out of a magician's hat.
- rocqua 9y agoThis was during a Bsc in mathematics. Like I said we later got the theoretical grounding. Starting with measure theory would be what leaves people feeling that mathematics is useless formal bickering.
