akerro got it factually incorrect and may be trolling. However, the gist of the point is correct. Womens' rights in predominantly Muslim countries are lagging quite a bit.

It's immoral to visit such a country. It has concentration camps. It tortures on a large scale. It's citizens suffer and visiting the country gives money to an evil regime.

Your 4th paragraph contains a rather bold claim. You give one counter example to buy and hold strategy being good. I imagine no one really thinks buy and hold means to never sell under any circumstance. It seems to me to be more of a phi

Your reply would be much better without the first sentence. There is no need to demean or engage in such speech.

I know you believe they are sociable. But how do you know that when seemingly most 9f their activities are structured? Would they adapt well if the structure wasn't there? I'm assuming you've never taught high school. I ha

I notice that the activities you describe your kids doing are, for the most part, structured. How do you know they are socially adept or sociable? Will they freak out once on their own? I have 15 nieces and nephews from 2 sisters. Both

Sea levels are rising and been for some time. Sea ice melt doesn't increase water levels much. This is particularly true for the arctic. Now Antarctic continental ice melt and Greenland ice melt does increase sea levels.

I think people don't consciously think in these terms. I once had debt in the form of student loans and a car loan. Becoming debt free was a great relief. It removed a ton of stress and provided me with freedom. The emotional well

I believe there are no examples of charity ever being able to provide the basic needs of all but a small percent of the poor of a nation. It was not charities that provided clean water. It was not charities that largely ended hunger or ga

Yeah marginal cost per mile is less. Perhaps that's why people rarely think about the cost of a 10 mile drive.

by yequalsx 10y ago
People do know that it costs to drive a car but the cost is hidden in some sense. I think few people actually calculate how much driving really costs. When I drive 10 miles I don't think to myself that it's going to cost me $5.4

I don't think people get the reference. Your post was in good taste. For those who don't understand look up the hardest logic puzzle.

When I was an undergraduate I met Raymond at a math conference in Minnesota. We talked about logic, religion, and philosophy at the reception the first night. The next morning he sees me and runs over to me. He said, "I invented a n

Yes, but can Turing machines do enough mathematics? The second order Peano Axioms are categorical and the first order axioms are not. The Incompleteness Theorem tells us that there are statements that are true in the standard model of N t

I know those things. OP does not claim that the set of functions from N to N is uncountable. One gives up things if only countable things are considered. For instance those things that I mentioned.

by yequalsx 10y ago
The are uncountably many polynomial over the reals. There are uncountably many functions from N to N. The premise of your question is incorrect.

The axiom of choice applies to index sets of arbitrary size. Indeed there is an axiom of countable choice for those who don't like the axiom of choice.

For those downvoting, why? It is my belief from talking to green card holders that they have a right to entry in the U.S. I'm not a lawyer and I suspect those downvoting aren't either. I phrased my comment in terms of what I th

by yequalsx 10y ago
I believe this does not affect green card holders. My understanding is that green card holders are entitled to enter the U.S. in a similar way that U.S. are entitled to enter the U.S.

I don't know enough about economics to know for sure one way or the other if the Swiss model scales. I suspect most people responding don't know enough about economics either. I do know it's worth trying and finding out.

The solution provided was not appropriate for a college algebra level course because it is not a valid solution as it is not a way of doing similar problem with a trivial numerical modification. You may disagree with me and that is fine. I

I've been teaching college algebra for 20 years. There is nothing arrogant in what I said. The student needs help and it is clear that this is so to anyone with experience teaching such courses. After many years and thousands of stu

A student solving the equation in the way the OP stated will likely fail the course. They are showing they don't understand the concepts. The student needs help. They are unlikely to understand inverse functions when that topic is ta

I'd say 7^(1/3) is illuminating in the sense that 1. Someone understanding this is more likely to understand the concept of inverse functions. 2. Someone understanding this is more likely to understand how to solve x^(3/5) =

No. I'm saying it would not have been published if it wasn't a counterexample.

by yequalsx 10y ago
The paper you cited supports what I've been saying. You can publish a paper that says, "Here is a counterexample." You can't publish a paper that says, "Here is a solution I guessed to be correct." Any method

In an elementary group theory course this is the type of problem that would be given when groups are first introduced. It's a good homework/test question and just writing a*c = a as the answer would not suffice (depending on the

A conjecture is someone, usually a well known expert in the field, saying, "I think this is true but have not been able to prove it." It's not considered a theorem until someone proves it. A famous example is the Goldbach c

u = ln(x) and dv = 1 du = 1/x and v = x integral ln(x) = x ln(x) - integral 1/x times x integral ln(x) = x ln(x) - x + C I could give integral arctan(x) but with the advent of computer algebra systems I'm mostly interested
