Why math is the best

[Syringer]

Looking to persuade people into this ideology..any ideas on how I can "prove" this?

Howbout a proof 😉

 

[Zugzwang152]

prove it by mathematical induction. then i might believe you. 😉

because math has a clear wrong and right. You're either one or the other. Either your proof holds water or it doesn't. Few things in life are like that.

History & physics are as well?

No way in history. There are arguments all the time about things in the past..and there really isn't ever a right answer.

And with Physics there's often many gray areas too..theories by Einstein have been debated over the past many decades, yet it may never be proven if he is right or not.

In math, if a theory is put forth, it's either going to be right or wrong..either it works, or it doesn't..

Until you get into quantum physics...

Show them how doing tripple integration with your left part of the brain while calculating Pi to the 500-th digit with your right part of the brain is DAMN KEWL

Let me guess...your HW always got graded with the following comments:

"Please SHOW ALL WORK"


WTF, are you even talking about?

Maths free from controversy? hahahaha!

Platonism or Formalism. Whats the relevance of Godel's incompleteness therom? Is group theory designed to torture those of us brave enough to take it?

Also, what axioms are you using? Set thory? Pinot's(I think) arithmetic thingie?
