Interesting article

I take notes in symbolic logic but I am dyslexic and the moment you call it “Algebra” I am lost. I can’t remember the formulas

Well, I don’t even know what the “ABC conjecture” is.

The abc conjecture

That? I have a wonderful proof.

Oops, the margin is too small to write it down.

BTW they didn't understand Desargues or Grassmann either. But this guy takes the cake.

“I think it would be pretty bad if we just forgot about it. It would be sad.”

No. No, it wouldn't be sad.

BTW, the answer is 3.

I think we’re all missing the more important question here: how does this proof help us build a better sex robot?

I always scored very high on math. Typically 99th percentile. However I saw this theory discussed on TV a year or two back and did not ever understand what they were talking about. It had something to do with a doughnut shape.

Of course I now do simple math on a calculator as it is just too hard now that I am 68.

Utterly fascinating. I learned about something I knew nothing about. That he may have created a new form of mathematics is...wow.

Primal importance The abc conjecture refers to numerical expressions of the type a + b = c. The statement, which comes in several slightly different versions, concerns the prime numbers that divide each of the quantities a, b and c. Every whole number, or integer, can be expressed in an essentially unique way as a product of prime numbers—those that cannot be further factored out into smaller whole numbers: for example, 15 = 3 × 5 or 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7. In principle, the prime factors of a and b have no connection to those of their sum, c. But the abc conjecture links them together. It presumes, roughly, that if a lot of small primes divide a and b then only a few, large ones divide c.

Sounds to me that he is doing something akin to what Newton did. He was trying to solve a Physics problem and had to invent Calculus in order to do it.

In this case the individual was attempting to solve a mathematical problem around whole numbers and had to expand the multiplication of whole numbers such that the normal multiplication we are used to is only one set instead of the whole.

With that he was able to expand the solution set and arrive at an answer. The difficulty is that it’s such a brand new vista that even the abstract mathematicians are having a hard time following the thought process.

Well, our dear leader, bo, loves to use the word “calculus” when lecturing his subjects.

That’s math, right? (Asks Barbie)

Do not try to teach prostitutes calculus.

Everyone knows you can't put Descartes before the whores.

Ha,,....maybe Mochizuki, can solve us a few common core maths problems.
