Re: Math Pick-up Lines
Bumpkinism is not a religion. It is a derogatory term for a type of person.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
I am a bumpkin and am not insulted by those people that feel it is a slur.

In the sense that Wikipedia defines it, I am not. But as I understand it, yes.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
For competition, which includes mathematics I use Bushido and Zen. For a practical way of life I have used Buddhism, Judaism, Jaininsm, Hatha Yoga and Hinduism. For my spiritual side, Christianity.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines
Find someone on the street and explain to them what 10^10 is. You will be unable to make it clear to them. You can explain to a child what 3 is by holding up 3 objects. That is as much as I can understand about his argument.
You want me to say his statement is wrong. This I can not do.

His statement is not wrong.
He states 10^10 has no meaning to him. That does not mean it has no meaning to someone else.

Re: Math Pick-up Lines

Does this number have meaning to you?
