"...new bulb in that..." OM, you crack me up!

Why thank you :) I try!

Seeing as how the current bulb is rather dim.

Now please take me to Court and try to sue me for slander or libel.

On the plus side, it looks like Joe has stopped stalking Oleg.

On the negative, I have read yet another of his "LOOK AT ME!!!!" posts.

Why do I get the mental image of Joe in a soiled tutu and combat boots, jumping up and down in a city square, yelling his blog posts into a bullhorn at passers by?

Advanced set theory:

Sheik:  

Do you claim that the sets {x,y} and { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} } are equal?


   
Quote

Joe G:

Let x = $10 and y = $20

The set {x,y} contains $30

the power set { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} } also contains $30.

$30 = $30


   
Quote

Sheik:

I didn't see this before my last post. The two sets are definitely not the same, however.


   
Quote

Joe G:

The CONTENTS are the SAME- they are EQUAL.

$30 = $30 so {x,y} has to equal { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} }

What part of that don't you understand?

What is your issue with what I posted?

Do you have valid resource that says I am wrong?

If so it would help you if you could produce it.

Otherwise your ignorance does not refute what I post.

Joe G,

Operations on the empty set:

Operations performed on the empty set (as a set of things to be operated upon) are unusual. For example, the sum of the elements of the empty set is zero, but the product of the elements of the empty set is one (see empty product). Ultimately, the results of these operations say more about the operation in question than about the empty set. For instance, zero is the identity element for addition, and one is the identity element for multiplication.

Not that I would expect you to understand any of that.

Let x = $10 and y = $20

The set {x,y} contains $30

the power set { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} } also contains $30.

$30 = $30


Does anyone disagree with that?

If you disagree can you provide a valid resource that agrees with you?

Hi Joe.  Why don't we move the discussion of the example with Denton books here?  

 
Quote
Michael Denton wrote two books, Evolution: a Theory in Crisis, or E for short, and Nature's Destiny: How the Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe, or N. The set Books = {E, N} contains two members.

When you ask someone "Which of these books did you read?" you may hear one of four different answers: none, Evolution, Nature's Destiny, or both. Each of the outcomes is a set of books (not a book): an empty set, a set containing one book, or a set containing two books. Formally, Outcomes = {{}, {E}, {N}, {E, N}}.

Clearly, the sets Books and Outcomes are different beasts. Even the sizes are different: two books, four possible outcomes.

The sum of the elements of the set {x,y} as you defined it is $30.

A set does not equal the result of a computation performed on that set.

Do I disagree that 30 = 30?

No.

Do I disagree about the the equality of the sets in your example?

Yes.

It's interesting that you would considered these two examples (integers and sets) to be alike.

Let x = $12 and y = $18. The sum of the elements of {x,y} is $30.

Two sets are equal if and only if they have precisely the same elements.

Is {10, 20} = {12, 18}?

Joe,

Here's another way to look at the issue using your money model:

{x, y} stands for an envelope containing a $10 and a $20 bill.

{ {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} } stands for a large envelope containing four smaller envelopes.  One of the smaller envelopes is empty, one contains a $10 bill, one contains a $20 bill, and the remaining one contains a $10 bill and a $20 bill.

See the difference?

On his blog, Joe says:
Quote
How many books are in the set {E,N}?

How many books are in its power set {{}, {E}, {N}, {E, N}}?


I say the answer to both questions is 2- there are two books in the set and two books in the power set.


This is not even wrong.  To establish equality of two sets, we must check whether their members are the same.  They are not.  The members of the former set are E and N.  The members of the latter are {}, {E}, {N}, {E,N}.  Not only are they not the same, even the set sizes (cardinalities) are different.
