    Let's discuss Mathematics

    NEVERMIND it was a misread by me in the statement of the empty set axiom (I thought it said that the empty set was an ELEMENT of every set, rather than a SUBSET of every set). My issue was that if the empty set was an element of every set, then the axiom of pairing can't be true. Let a = {1}...

    Ask a Martial Arts Instructor

    Do you work at a McDojo? Or if you are unsure: How many blackbelts (or equivalent) have you or your colleagues awarded in the past 5 years? Is there any reason for someone interested in self-defense to take TKD? Obviously its good exercise and may be fun, but not many people these days look...

    job advice for ex-math student: accountancy or actuary

    Idea 1: Trick economists into giving you money by showing them papers with lots of fancy-looking math on it (economists believe anything written in fancy-looking math they don't understand) and telling them its a proof that it would be in their interest to give you $10,000. The AEA has about...

    Is screen res what determines ease of reading?

    I'm gonna have to read from a computer screen a lot, which I traditionally dislike because it is tough on my eyes. If I buy a new laptop, would screen resolution be the stat to look for for determining what sort of computer would be easiest on the eyes? I'm looking for a windows laptop.
