For roughly the first half of the semester, I struggled. Anyway, you ask me, "is it really assumed that the reals are supposed to correspond to some aspect of reality?" 3 - Max Plus at Work: Modeling and Analysis of Synchronized Systems: A Course on Max-Plus Algebra and Its Applications (Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics) (Hardcover) by Bernd Heidergott (Author), Geert Jan Olsder (Author), Jacob van der Woude (Author) "In this book we will model, analyze, and optimize phenomena in which the order of events is crucial..." (more). I appraise. It seems it can be an art to study some diffeq's in some domains, the Navier-Stokes for fluids is one prominent example. Perhaps the Banach-Tarski is particularly paradoxical in 4 dimensions (but is evidence against the real number line, and all its powers). I'm not sure if I can make them any clearer. The fundamental thing that makes the proof of the paradox work is not any large cardinality of the sets (beyond basic infinity) but the fact that the rotation group of a sphere contains a free group with two generators. Well, I tried now and had plenty of luck: This question is equivalent to (3+4i)^n never being real for n=1,2,... And who can resist the dance of the earthquake, mon?" Well, usually mathematicians talk about sets of point (like) objects instead of intervals, or else mathematicians would talk more about and use more interval arithmetic and the like as opposed to point-set topology, integer (number) theory, etc. M Bohner, A Peterson [U-MO-Rolla] Insignificant pedantic point: Some people even seem to consider basing mathematics on categories instead! But why worry about physical manifestations of nonstandard analysis in the midst of the debate about whther there are actually physical manifestations of the continuum? Of course, mathematical cognition is the synthesis of activities of various cognitive systems -- perhaps, only olfaction is not involved. I was an EE undergrad and didn't give a rat's tail about differential equations, either. There was nothing about differential equations that I couldn't do. But I'm through with Seed and ScienceBlogs. I'm kinda the opposite to you, I have good intuition about continuous things, but discrete mathematics and graph theory largely escapes me. So my decision is made. Conventional measure theory quite purposefully bases itself on the properties of sets and topology, not on putting mass or volume on abstract points. If they were a, b, c, d and e, then we would have a + b + c + d + e = 1, a + b + c = 1 and d + e = 1. It's simple to make, it's got an absolutely I assume that is what you mean. Like [0,1]. I've been trying to come back up to speed, but so as time), then we ought to take a realistic view. ", Incidentally, I've posted some of the above, on the Banach-Tarski paradox, here: http://enigmanically.blogspot.com/2007/04/mysterious-paradox.html, If out of 35 people each person like Discrete Mathematics or Data Structures ,25 like Discrete Mathematics, and 20 like Data structures then the number of people who like both Discrete and Data Structures is Continuous data are data where numbers between any two data values make sense. Type theory will make its triumphant return before too long. This sequence should converge, but the only possible limit is Ï, which isn't a rational number. [...] This analogy may be helpful: The gauge integrable functions are like convergent series; then the Lebesgue integrable functions are like absolutely convergent series." What sets continua apart is completeness. In theory, you can talk about a function as a set of pairs - f={(x,y) | y=f(x)} - but you can't even show an exhaustive list of the pairs that make up the function, even over a finite section of the function.>. I've never minded…, As regular readers have no doubt noticed by now, posting on the blog For example, basic results such as the Intermediate Value Theorem fail to hold, even if you consider only polynomials with integer coefficients. I could ask (agressively moving beyond my dilemma), what is this apology for being prematurely negative followed by another negative? The defining quality of [the real numbers] is that given any two numbers, you can always find another number between them - in fact, you can always find an infinite set of numbers between them. The Axiom of Choice was being assumed implicitly by mathematicians long before it was formulated: no one had formulated it before the problems with set theory because it was NOT a problem! any measure theory based upon such quantities of points. :-|, And that can of course be captured completely by the rational numbers, so long as our operations would not take us beyond the rationals. For non-mathematicians, the distinction between "the set of real numbers is continuous", and "the set of real numbers forms a continuum" is the kind of distinction that confuses things more than it clarifies. Finally, at long last, I can tell you what I've been up to with finding a new home for this blog. (And as a personal aside - that friend is still one of my best friends. Apparently it is yet impossible to calculate path integrals except in very simple cases. I suspect that many physicists believe that the standard reals do give the true structure of (possible) physical continua. By "the sheer quantity of points" I meant the largeness of the number, which is what gives us sufficient points so that we can have (given AC) the (possibly weird) subsets of the Banach-Tarski sphere decomposition. WRT to the "sets aren't continuous, functions are" thing: when I'm writing for this blog, I try to consider my audience. Any way your story about DEs and RRs is interesting because a few semesters ago I was taking a DE course since I was thinking about majoring in Applied Math (which is a math-physics focused degree) but I did horribly in the DE class (an important prerequist) at the same time I was taking an introductory class in combinatorics and we were doing RRs and I also noticed the connection between DEs and RRs. To see that this doesn't work for the rational numbers, consider the increasing sequence of fractions {3/1, 31/10, 314/100, 3141/1000, 31415/10000, ...}. We'…, Back when GM/BM first moved to ScienceBlogs, we were in the middle of a poll about the next goodmath topic for me to write about. I recently thought that dropping one of the 5 pieces into a measuring flask would give us a more paradoxical result, whereas either the measuring fluid would be unable to fill up all the space around the piece, or the fluid would develop a weird surface. I'll bear that in mind. We launched this morning. Nitpicks - the real numbers are not a continuum. To bring in something like that is a straw man, and nonstandard analyses (and yes, bringing up spaces "more dense" than the reals counts even if you don't use the words) are another. However, you're setting up a straw man. [...] For instance, every Lebesgue integrable function is also gauge integrable. What quantity is that? -Peter Tosh This requires the group being non-amenable, a stronger property than non-commutative, meaning you cannot take an average (mean) over the group's actions. Torbjörn, it was indeed I (pseudonymly Enigman), I just forgot to enter my details in my impassionate (and consequently incoherent) response. If the fluid is not perfectly smooth (not infinitely dense), then it would be unable to fill all the space around the piece, as the contours of the shape are infinitely detailed, similar in concept to fractals.
