KF: Quote | Then, along comes an Euler, and BANG!
0 = 1 + e^i*pi |
but:
bfast: Quote | DaveS, “You can of course express it more compactly (and more sensibly) as e^i*pi = -1. Does it then lose some of its magic?” Actually, yours is the more commonly expressed form of Euler’s identity. It doesn’t loose magic in this format — it increases in magic. |

Then Mullings laid waste to his detractors with this: Quote | DS, only at the price of obscuring the relationships between a nexus of numbers, relationships and operations. The five most prominent numbers in one astonishingly coherent framework tied to oscillations and waves [thus frequency space]. Huge insights beckon when the classic form is rearranged . . . a common enough thing in strategic synthesis, the moment of lateral insight and eye-opening synthesis. Likewise for me a real breakthrough in economic insight was to think in terms of the dynamics of aggregate supply & demand, with saturation as resources tighten up highlighted leading to insights on overheating an economy, stagflation, shocks and Schumpeter’s creative destruction . . . here GDP fell 50% when the volcano hit. Just one little diagram or equation, but then comes the moment of insightful synthesis. But then, I am a moderate constructivist in education philosophy. KF |
Unfortunately he neglected to leave us a Rosetta Stone to enable translation into human. |
Even better was Stenosemella's response:
Quote | Is this really supposed to mean anything? Be profound? Could you please rephrase this in a fashion that can be comprehended by a human being?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. |
I am taking bets on how long it is before Mullings goes crying to Barry to have this insolence squashed.
