You might as well have said "What are you, Hungarian?"; I believe the Hungarians beat the Germans at making very long words. Legeslegmegengesztelhetetlenebbeknek! But "generatingfunctionology" is the title of a book by Herbert S. Wilf: http://www.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/ I don't think Professor Wilf is German, but I wouldn't know, I never met him in person.

From: Sir Frederick on 7 Apr 2010 18:32 It doesn't really matter, as the whole situation is a form of Sci-Fi story, with an attribute called 'reality'. Think of that! You a character in a story, or 'hyper-story. And probably trivial, at that.

I find the concept of "calculus for discrete mathematicians" interesting, because there are many sci.math posters, which includes finitists and so-called "cranks," who do not accept the Axiom of Infinity. Some of them would work in ZF-Infinity, but then the standard theorists criticize them because it's difficult to axiomatize math for the sciences, which includes calculus, in ZF-Infinity. Therefore, this "calculus for discrete mathematicians" will allow the finitists/"cranks" to perform calculus for the sciences in ZF-Infinity. Computer scientists may find this useful as well. I like the name "discrete mathematicians" -- it certainly sounds much better than "cranks." Some "cranks" who might be described as "discrete mathematicians" include HdB and RE, both of whom have criticized Infinity. Those posters who believe in a smallest real number, such as AP and MR, may be included with the "discrete mathematicians" as well. |
