Saw this on StumbleUpon, they update math. All of these are obviously jokes.
* Pi now equals exactly 3.
* e now equals exactly 2.
* Fixed problem where division by zero led to undefined results.
* Fixed spelling mistake in description of Pythagorean theorem.
* Various optimisations now mean that all problems can be solved in polynomial time.
* The term “negative number” has been deemed offensive. The term “non-positive non-zero number” is now in use.
* Various optimisations now mean that all problems can be solved in polynomial time.
* Support is no longer offered for Imaginary Number Feature (i).
* Fixed problem where 1 = .999…
* Now compatible with Microsoft products (65536 <> 65535 <> 100000).
* Fixed problem that lead to the Axiom of Choice being undecidable.
* Implemented L’Hopital’s rule for non-indeterminate forms.
* Groups are now required to be abelian; former groups will now be called groupites.
* Fixed the Banach-Tarski cloning glitch.
* Removed the Proof By Contradiction exploit. <-- lol at this
* Users may now enter the paradise Cantor created for us for a nominal monthly fee.
* Basic arithmetic is now complete and consistent.
* Fractals have been smoothed out to improve rendering.
* All matrices are now invertible, former matrices are now called matrons.
* Cantor’s dust has been swept from the servers.
* New valid method of proof: Proof by Example.
* All incompleteness theorems are now false. Anything can be proven or disproven.
* The halting problem is decidable.
* Anything can be written as an elementary function if we go far enough in calling something elementary.
* The Riemann Hypothesis is false. <-- Hahahaha!
* The Collatz Conjecture is false.
* Calculus now consists of only addition and subtraction.
* Fixed known bug where Fermat’s Last Theorem failed to hold for n=1 or n=2.
* Due to customer complaints about other implementations, the natural numbers now start at -1.
* After a successful beta test in category theory, proof by diagram chasing is now applicable across all of mathematics.
* During extended server downtime, problems will now slowly solve themselves, simulating the progress you would have been making.
* Fixed bug where large cardinals failed to show up in certain models of ZFC.
* Mobius Strip fixed to have two sides. (How about the Klein Bottle?)
* Infinity has been nerfed to constant value of 1,000,000.
* Negative numbers now use differently colored numbers to reduce confusion.
* All numbers above 3 are now a suffusion of yellow.
* Subtraction has been removed, however it is still available on special subtraction servers.
* New Axiom: Axiom of Clarity. If after explaining a proof to someone for 5 minutes, if they still do not understand, they may use the Axiom of Clarity to assert the existence of a proof that your proof is invalid.
* In response to demand, elegant proofs of certain theorems have been shortened that they may fit into the margins of books as commentary.
* Research has shown that random numbers along a finite distribution were unfairly biased towards the digit one over other digits. This has been fixed.
* We are proud to unveil a new kind of super-calculus, which requires twenty people to complete even the most rudimentary calculations over a period of hours of collaborative work. We feel this new math will challenge those at the higher-end of the profession.
* New, epic applications of super-calculus have been implemented as well.
* “Proof by Wikipedia” is now a valid form of proof. (This)
* Feature: Uniform probability measure for the real line has been added. Expect support for other spaces in subsequent versions.
* For a small monthly fee, all infinite series can be summed. All users will be allowed to use that 1 + 2 + 3 + … = -1/12 for a trial period of week.
* The math servers are going down soon to make way for the new BioWare math.
* Russell’s Paradox fixed - sets can now include themselves and not include themselves at the same time.
* For usability, numbers of the form a+bi have been made less complex.
* All “maths” not involving numbers has been split off into daughter projects so that Maths 2.1.2 can now fit in one brain.
* Everyone finally understands how abbreviations and number work, and now the singular word “mathematics” is properly abbreviated “math” worldwide.
* For improved security, several composite numbers have been defined as “unfactorisable” for use as RSA keys.
* Probability distributions standardised to all return proven random number “4″.
* 1/0 now equals infinity+1
* All powers of i beyond 7 have been fixed to equal 1, -1, i, and -i where needed.
* Symbol now designated for infinity to the power of infinity.
* Method for calculating roots and fractional powers available as open source code
* Halting problem solved.
* Halting problem of above solver solved.
* Halting problem of above solver solved as well.
* Halting problem of how many halting problem solvers we’ll need solved.
* Paradoxes that arise from above solver’s solution solved.
* Halting problem of… oh god, it’s an infinite cycle!

Finally, math is now complete.

Fixed known bug where Fermat’s Last Theorem failed to hold for n=1 or n=2.
Removed the Proof By Contradiction exploit.
I liked these two best.

Only algebra jokes could be worse.

I wish I understood these...the ones that I did understand were funny...haha.

well, you can still get the part where infinity was nerfed to a constant value of 1 million.

Sorry but what is Fermat's Last Theorem? I think I missed it. I know calculus but what is Fermats Last Theorem?

a^n + b^n =/= c^n for any integers values of a,b, or c for all integer n > 2

cool, thanks.

I have to wonder why they made the Riemann Hypothesis false...it's like they WANT to introduce bugs into their functions.
|
Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find these funny at all..
|
ROFLOL that is the funniest thing ive read in a long time. Im crying with laughter hahah :DDD

infinity is still too imba
|
The Chain rule now applies to constant exponents.. and the answer is always one.
|
Lol at halting problem and NP complete jokes
|
lol. My favorite is: "The term “negative number” has been deemed offensive. The term “non-positive non-zero number” is now in use."

These made me laugh. ahahaha proof by example ahahahaha.

* All powers of i beyond 7 have been fixed to equal 1, -1, i, and -i where needed.
i don't get it O_o
others were pretty funny tho =p

That one was awesome

I'm still wondering if the "All of these are obviously jokes" is actually necessary...
And infinity +1... = 1,000,001.
WOW I just solved math.

Simple actually...
i = sqrt(-1)
i^1 = i
i^2 = -1
i^3 = -i
i^4 = 1
i^5 = i
And this loops forever.

Pretty funny, but IMO they could have done better by being consistent at the expense of a few jokes.
|
I showed this to my classmates and they I think they forgot to read the part where I stated that these were jokes, and they were distraught.

yes i'm aware of that
i'm not aware how this is a joke. where's the 'fix'? isn't it always like this. why beyond 7?

Implemented L’Hopital’s rule for non-indeterminate forms.
my personal favorite

Math is balanced now imo. Actually fuck it, wheres 2.1.3

I didnt understand most of them. Do I need to be a Math Major or it is just the language barrier? T_T

Uhh, I don't know about the other guys but now that you mentioned it, you might need to know Differential and Integral Calculus to get to understand most of them.

Will ICC stick with v2 or?

this is why u take calculus obviously
lol @ L'hopital

Haha why does this thread keep getting bumped randomly?
Not that it is a bad thing.
