Ever wonder what our advanced mathematical problems might look like to a newbie?
Here's an example:

If a trisecular deunification within the Strumthurn-Clyde group is transgressional beyond the zone of subangular tonistics,
prove that the neoistic totality cannot be a subsidiary of the congruent nano-flex classificationism.

Anyone want to give this one a try?

Your kidding...is that an actual problem?

No way :shock:

All I hear is
If a trisec...blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah , blah, beyong the zone of blah blah blah blah, prove that blah blah cannot be blah blah.

This is indeed what any newbie would see if we gave him one of our more advanced jobs.

I dont mind! but i have to do some research first!

I solved. Answer equals the meaning of life. Now I will sell you my answer for some beachfront property in Arizona.

well even better yet, why dont you explain it to us, andy?

many of us are eager to know! such as what the heck i s"Strumthurn-Clyde group" (dont think they have it anywhere on the net, not even in my math dictionary)

I think he made it up, Bugz

nevertheless

Mother Goose:

Hahahaha!
I love your graphic.

But seriously, when I looked through the web in my search to find information about the quintic (fifth degree polynomial), I kept reading about how the general form was unsolvable, as in the first line of
this page.
I want to know why this is the case, without having to read about Galois groups or Icodecahedrans, etc.
I just want a simple algebraic proof to the insolvibility of the quintic.
Reading pages, such as the one I gave above, gave me the impression that I still need to learn a new language, such as the one I used in my original post.

So yes, there are times like these whem I do feel stupid.

Heh, yeah, sometimes Math DOES seem to be in another language (which just maes you appreciate the well written textbooks)

But hey, we may speak like that one day, so kudos

Probably being, that someday we may only speak like that, and forget what conventional English is all about.

I don't know if I could carry on a conversation using only math terminology.

Take this excerpt from a romantic novel:

He put his volumetric lips against hers, knowing that the hyperbolic inflections would raise his body temperature at a rate equivalent to 1 degree per minute as scaled by the Chekloid-Stychec transform. The sensuality which would result could be sufficient to prolong this process as calculated by the formula tensor given previously ...

I don't think I could enjoy seeing this on TV - hehehe.

If that's a bestselling novel, I think we're in serious trouble.

I won't even cover the Calculus of Pornographic Activities, as it is beyond the scope of this interlude.
Besides, CBB might kick my butt.

Hello, everyone!

Just heard this one...

At Logan airport today, an individual was arrested trying to board
a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a
graphing calculator.

Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement.

He is being charged with possessing weapons of math instruction.

Very nerdy, yet very ingenious at the same time!

Thanks for sharing this.
