Unless... you didn't happen to use a Starcraft analogy or simulation? If you did, I'll fucking buy a copy. | ||

When you provide the initial definition of the binomial coefficient (choose) why do you avoid using the factorial symbol for simplicity? I'm not saying you did it wrong, but am just interested in the motivation behind that choice. Edit: Have you seen the "Counting Paths through a Grid" Mathematica program? Edit2: Here it is: ![[image loading]](http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1879/pascalprogramav2.jpg) | ||

Yeah, give us a 10-word summary! I don't care if it's "we can now play starcraft .3% better, I proved it." | ||

Cause he already owned America, bought the t-shirt and quit sc before even being half way finished with Mudd. He should write a thesis called "how to rape at Beatmania" too, I'd buy. | ||

I have a minor in Math, after reading through this I start to remember why I abandoned it 3 years ago. | ||

I used to be a we'er because most (physics) papers i've read through use it. Though my supervisor rages when he sees any sign of it | ||

B/c my master thesis had more then 120 pages, but only to please examiners, otherwise it would shrink to something like 20 pages. I'm glad that I finally graduated, b/c I hated these kind of bureaucracy where you have to artificially inflate page count with some retarded shit. And this is only one example. O_O my masters thesis had a word count limit, not a lower limit. | ||

It's actually not that hard to discover something new in math. Just pick a topic and start developing. Of course something actually majorly important is a different story. | ||

Of course something actually majorly important is a different story. pic a topic and develop. im guessing that probably means not discovering a new math technique per se, but maybe discovering that a certain math concept can be applied to the thing ur looking into, or that thing behaves like a certain mathmatical model? that's as far as my imagination takes me. can u take me further? an example would help. | ||
