More formally, the system specifies a set S of predicates that it can evaluate based on configurations (prompts etc) applied to the general method. You have a particular predicate p that you want to evaluate, in some larger space of “approp

For that matter the easiest proof of Pythag that I know of involves dropping an altitude: Look at the right triangle the normal way up, clearly the area of the triangle is k c² (k = ½ sin α sin β if you like, but it just matters that it

Physics nut reporting for duty! What makes relativity special is that everybody agrees on the speed of light. So Alice is passing Bob at say 0.1% of c , she detonates a big firecracker or other bright sudden event, the light from that even

Yeah, in this case it's a bit misplaced. The first thing your high school calculus course would have you do would be called “u-substitution”, and if you did directly u = x √(a), d u = √(a) d x you would get the same immediately,
