one reason why israel is so good at Propaganda

How does a mathematical basis contribute to thinking for oneself? Math is the most concrete field of knowledge in existence. It has absolutely no room at all for opinion...a mathematical fact is indeed a fact, and that's pretty much that.

Because it's not always that simple. We often have multiterm, partial differential equations of multiple orders that are utterly impossible to solve theoretically. It makes it necessary to "guess" at which terms are more important to construct a theoretical framework we can actually work with, and that takes some critical thinking.

There's tons of programming involved also, it's like 80% of what we do on a given day. There's often no one, "right" way to program, so organizing the problem in a way that can be solved the fastest is important. Experience with that kind of algorithmic thinking makes it easy to see how problems in other areas are constructed.

There's also statistics, which is really as much philosophy as it is math.

Yes, translating reality onto a mathematical model is complicated...mostly because math is concrete and reality probably is not. I'm still not convinced that making choices about process is what is generally meant by 'thinking for oneself', but I'll concede your point.

Speaking as a degreed mathematician, BS.

I don't think you are explaining the idea very well.

The moral of the story is that there are a lot of educated guesses being made in science and people take care to justify them. It doesn't mean these become established facts as others can still poke holes into them (if any) and propose better models. The very act of doubting the work of others is a fundamental attribute of being a scientist.

Don't tell creationists.

In spite of many resources that could be viewed we see so many myths.

1. Gaza is heavily populated and thus Hamas can't but help to fire from behind civilian populations.
This is false and even the BBC shows this to be false. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/middle_east/03/v3_israel_palestinians/maps/html/population_settlements.stm

As you can see from this map that there are some densely populated areas but there are some areas that have no people there, so it is clear that Hamas could easily separate itself from the population should it desires, but chooses not to, since it would not civilians will die and thus they can't put up pictures to fool clueless westerners on why the people died.

2.We are getting accurate information out of Gaza.
Considering all the reports we are getting are mostly from those inside Gaza an we know that Hamas rules it with an iron fist. It often stages photo's for propaganda purposes.

Read this link because it is actually quite hilarious at how bad the acting is and the continuity errors. Next time just have one director and it might look convincing.

Too many directors made for mass confusion, which is why Brown Shirt appeared-disappeared-appeared, and one guy scooped up the little girl but a different guy ran out of the school with her. In the film industry, these are known as “continuity errors.” You need good production assistants (PAs) to keep mistakes like this from happening.

Other people picked up unhurt children and ran with them. Note the crone in the shawl, waddling and screeching.

Considering the role the media are playing in this charade there is absolutely no way you can trust them any more, since the play a part in this dissemination of propaganda by Hamas, they are now just as guilty as Hamas are for giving them explicit comfort in this conflict. This is outrageous behaviour that has happens so many times that the media trolls in Gaza cannot be trusted any more.

Other images show western photographers at the scene. The press is utterly without value when it comes to reporting on Israel. No Israeli should ever believe a single accusation that western journalists level at the IDF.

We’re witnessing immorality, corruption, and insanity on a global scale.

One reason. Thirteen pages... The forum is getting Palestinized.

Seconded.

Well the point of mathematical models is to objectify things of a subjective nature. They may not be free of their biases, but it gets you closer to doing so. And if you don't agree, the model is right there, open to the community's criticism. The end result is the same.
