It is amazing that new mathematical methods continue to be developed.

These people are Freaks of Nature, and we are all blessed by their existence.

Freaks of Nature, and we are all blessed by their existence Freaks of Nature, like this?
Or perhaps God's way of saying, "There is far more beauty & wonder out there than you can ever imagine!"
e.g. Mandelbrot diagrams

You’d be amazed at how many fit into the autistic spectrum.

I thought that 1+1 = 3 was settled science.
On a less /s note, science (and math which describes it) is the description of the Created Universe (Guess Who created it).
So, of course, wonderments in science and math are just a peek at the God of Creation.
PS. God says 1+1=2 ... settled!!!

And we have a legion of Ivy League and big name colleges that can’t even do big math ... like balancing a budget!!!!

Balancing a budget is common sense. Something absent in leftist elitists who run most universities.

Three of my five sons sit around the dinner table discussing higher level mathematics and consider it entertainment and great fun. Eldest has 4 (simultaneous) degrees in Math, Computer Science, Physics and Greek, Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa (when a junior); another is a Civil Engineer, P.E. now writing complex engineering calcs in C Sharp; the youngest a senior getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I can barely understand what they are talking about - but this is right up their alley - so thanks for the post - sending it on to them. They will love it......
No hope I’ll ever understand it...........
