I came upon an interesting paragraph while I was reading a book by H. Herrlich. I would like to share this with my fellow puzzlers. ..bla bla.... the first reason for studying ba-ji-ju-go-ri is that, like other mathematical abstractions, ba-ji-ju-go-ri theory provides a new language - a language that affords economy of thought and expression as well as allowing easier communication among investigators in different ares; a language that brings to the surface the common basic ideas underlying various ostensibly unrelated theorems and constructions... bla bla .... oneday i met a chemical engineer who claims that chemical engineering students know more math than math student! hmmm... let's solve this puzzling claim. can it be true or false? iLUSiON chung@math.mcgill.ca chung@math.toronto.edu |
