The dirty secret of every activity: we make mistakes and fix them. Mathematics is no exception.

The dirty secret of every activity: we make mistakes and fix them. Mathematics is no exception.
- n4r9 4y agoReminds me of a joke I once heard. A group of university dons are discussing next year's budget and which subjects can cut down on equipment. The physicist says "I'm sorry but we need interferometers, telescopes, and lasers to teach anything". The chemist says "Hah! All we need is some bunsen burners, test tubes and chemicalsto run experiments" The mathematician says "Pfft! All we need is pen and paper to explore ideas, and a trash can for when the idea turns out to be wrong." The philosopher says "Well, all we need is a pen and paper".
