William Dembski factors 59

Now, this is FUNNY! So I couldn't resist from linking the spoof. Prominent "mathematician" William Dembski factors the number 59 (no, not in any strange algebraic field, but in the usual way, the way you and I learn in elementary school).


William Dembski is also well-known for having disproved Darwin's evolution theory, at least as far as he and his followers are concerned: whereas you, I and Kanzi (the famous ape) share a common ancestor, William Dembski is a totally distinct species. He is alien. Let him stay with aliens then.

Happy Birthday Darwin!

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line

Nuestras horas son minutos cuando esperamos saber y siglos cuando sabemos lo que se puede aprender.
(Our hours are minutes when we wait to learn and centuries when we know what is to be learnt.) --António Machado

 Αγεωμέτρητος μηδείς εισίτω.
(Those who do not know geometry may not enter.) --Plato

Sapere Aude! Habe Muth, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen!
(Dare to know! Have courage to use your own reason!) --Kant
