Jan 21, 2013 - Mathematicians Find We've Been Calculating Body Mass Index Wrong. Feb 28, 2012 - With their trademark blend of captivating storytelling and unconventional analysis, they take us inside their thought process and teach us all to think a bit more productively, more creatively, more rationally—to think, that is, like a Freak. Ellenberg, author of "How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking," joins Lunch Break with Lee Hawkins. Jan 17, 2014 - I think an accurate way of characterizing this is that Tegmark is assuming something that has no reason to be true, then invoking something nonsensical (a measure on the space of all mathematical structures). Such properties are not abstracta: like colours, they have causal powers that result in our seeing them. Apr 7, 2014 - Platonists think mathematics exists in a mysterious other realm. 21, 2013 Mathematicians found the formula used to calculate body mass index (BMI) has made tall people more overweight and those vertically challenged not fat enough. It's not that 'axioms' are mathematicians asking for you to just assume some things about numbers that seem obvious but can't be proven. More advanced alien civilization living in Omega Centauri has already solved, for instance, their metabolic syndrome and counteraffects of ageing, integrated successfully with their quantum computing power, essentially have achieved a form of immortality. Rather, axioms pin down that we're talking about numbers as opposed to something else. Mar 31, 2014 - What do you think about what he has to say? Levitt and Dubner offer a blueprint for an entirely new way to solve problems, whether your interest lies .. But if the awesome hidden power of mathematical reasoning is to be imported into parts of reality that behave like math, why not reason about apples in the first place instead of these ethereal 'numbers'?
