Darkside Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hmm, right. Bolzanos Theorem, a useless mathematical theorem: For two real a and b , a < b , and a function f that is continuous on a closed interval [a , b ] such that f(a) and f(b) are of opposite signs, there exists a number x0 belonging to the interval [a , b ] with f(x0) =0. This basically means that if you have a continuous function (the graph of the function isn't "broken" anywhere) in 2 dimensions with one point below the x-axis and one point above the x-axis, then that function will cross the x-axis somewhere. Hard to imagine huh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow, the man was a real genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I have a theorem too. For any point X, any other point that isn't at any point other than point X is at point X and is therefore point X. When do I get my page at Wikipedia?

Diamond Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hmm, right. Bolzanos Theorem, a useless mathematical theorem The theorem from the field of number theory which was considered to be useless for centuries is now a foundation for RSA cryptosystem. ... Hmm, glad to be back to these boards and see a new incarnation of my favorite thread PS And [DL's] signature's length is still abhorable. *cough* I agree on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akhan225 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 A South Korean movie theater owner decided that the movie The Sound of Music was too long. His solution? He shortened the movie by cutting out all of the musical scenes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do I get my page at Wikipedia? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Upon the imaginary number system being revealed to me in high school (that's college to you yanks), I invented my own number system. I'm still working out a lot of the details, but I'll share the main point here with you. Just as the imaginary number system is based on i = √-1 my number system is based on r = log 0 ∴ Natural log is r = ln 0 I christened it the ridiculous number system. :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Authority Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Ill contribute with this stunning piece of information: J.R.R Tolkien "borrowed" most of his names for Bilbo from the ancient viking mythological text "Eddan".

the dude Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 It is mathematically possible to turn a sphere inside out without making any creases...I thought it was completely useless, even though I need to know how to do it for physics... words are weightless here on earth because they're free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
