Analysis has had the opposite effect on my writing. After having my head buried in measure theory for a semester I wrote in a report for my student organization: "The set of inactive members of the Executive Committee is a non-negligible one." I was asked to rewrite that.
- matthewrudy 8y ago"non-negligible" doesn't sound very precise. You mean "non-empty but finite"? "There exists a member of the Committee that is not active"
- semigroupoid 8y agoIn the context of measure theory, a "non-negligible" set is a set with measure greater than zero.
- rocqua 8y agoAt the very least "The set of inactive members of the Executive Committee is non-negligible" would've been better.
