Every word of a language, every form it takes, is the result of human thought and feeling, through which the nature of the country and the history of the people are reflected in the word. (K. Ushinsky)
Mathematics is a mercenary science... language is a system of communication and cognition of the world...
In my opinion, there are two types of science - fundamental and applied (financial)... so, language belongs to the first, and mathematics to the second... All over the world, mathematical sciences have long been merely an industrial business. Everything is for sale.
We don't discover anything new; we only slowly rediscover the old things established with the foundation of the world... there are no new molecules; they are only new to us, even though they were formed millennia ago...
The development of mechanical engineering will lead to the obsolescence of labor—an era will come where it's impossible to find a place in this world without global knowledge of the maximum amount of information...
New mathematical innovations and ideas are just a way for poor mathematicians to earn even a little bit, because there is no work for them... only accounting and management are mathematically important now, so they can chew over annual money reports... Long ago—realizing this—I left MIFI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute) and took up a profession that is not subject to full automation by machines and is needed against the backdrop of general mechanization, since people want to see at least something beautiful in the dusty cities around them...
And I don't think you can force a person to prove theorems if they don't want to. And our youth, in my opinion, don't want anything but money... and they know mathematics exclusively at the level of calculating their salary... (meaning about 60-70% of the population)
By weapons, I obviously meant numerous atomic and chemical motivations... "language is more dangerous than a pistol"—what does that expression about people who can't master it have to do with this!!! :confused:
and first, by the way, they are taught letters from a primer. then numbers and words. and only then do they start drawing scribbles in notebooks)
crosswords teach you not to think, but only to dig through memory and the subconscious in search of the right word...
if we put the question that way, then perhaps sudoku develops thinking...
the main information comes from books, yes. but how to apply it? this is where the "mathematical" centers start working.
didn't work :D
but I don't see any clarifications
sigh.. please don't hyperbolize. the fact that a person's interests vary according to age by no means implies a pattern of "the younger, the stupider".
And it's not surprising, year after year - the same "n, nn", "zhi-shi", commas, etc.
while mathematics continues to open all new horizons, and therefore develops the person. and at least provides them with new information.
while the expression of thoughts through speech or writing is, in essence, always the same, and an alternative arises only when selecting the right definitions/rhymes, limited only by the poverty of language.
without these frames - the flow of words would be uncontrollable and would require minimum effort - to remember how a certain phenomenon/object/quality/etc. is designated
logic, what is it.. a branch of rational, mathematical thinking.
I advise you to check the meaning of terminology more often :D
mathematics is logic, and the search for rational solutions in order to be able to reach an agreement.
and as a follow-up, a low blow - mathematics is the Mother of All Sciences, it is cyclopean and all-encompassing. words, speech - this is an ordered sequence of symbols. symbols, just like the systematization of anything - that's all mathematics.
A word is information shaped in linguistic form...
In the 1993 Guinness Book of Records, "рентгеноэлектрокардиографического" was named the longest word in the Russian language; in the 2003 edition, it was "превысокомногорассмотрительствующий". :D
"Speech is an ordered sequence of symbols"—you know, then I think it's an ordered sequence of SOUNDS!!!
Hmm... (at the end) what a terrible and meaningless example—I expected more from you...
If people refuse to believe in the simplicity of mathematics, it is only because they do not understand all the complexity of life. (John von Neumann)
P.S. "I am a samurai after all" and how is that expressed? How well can you handle a sword? In real life, not in children's simulator games :D ??? just curious ;)
