cool he's also famous.

they are quite famous in the mathematical and physics world here are some of the stuff they (the family) contributed Bernoulli's Principle states that as the speed of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. (really important in aerodynamics and such) Bernoulli distribution is also the most basic discrete probability distribution having two possible outcomes. n=0 (failure)and n=1(success) which p being probability of suceeess and 1-p of failure. some wonderful anecdotes here: i love reading about maths history. they fascinate me http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Brachistochrone.html "The well known de l'Hôpital's rule is contained in this calculus book and it is therefore a result of Johann Bernoulli. In fact proof that the work was due to Bernoulli was not obtained until 1922 " from http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Bernoulli_Johann.html

yes, the whole point of my life, is to irritate other pple. what can i say. at the end of the day, with all due respect, beyond the shadow of a doubt , i am between a rock and a hard place.

no. to find the answer, u have to think outside the box.

exactly, how can i work out what science is when i dont have the total sum

yes , u can definitely get them in UK, i begged for my fren to give me some when i was bloody starving.

just had a 1sec glance at it. its like saying. i have a bag. there are red (science) and green (not science) balls in it. there are 4 greens in the bag. find the number of reds??

what science isn't wont help me deduce what science is, as i will need a universal set to work with .

hehe. well obviously he not going to do that. anyway back to the topic. the equation in discussion is one example of Diophantine equations. Diophantine equations are just equations in one or more variables for which integer solutions are sought. one other example let p be a prime. Then [math]p=x^2+y^2[/math] has a solution with [math]x,y \in \mathbb{Z}[/math] if and only if p = 2 or p is equivalent to 1 (mod4) [saw this in lecture notes for number theory]

can u give me a link. i can't be arsed to look.

has anyone here seen the monty phython's spam sketch

u telling me u havent ever heard of bernoulli ?

check here. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/%7Ehistory/Day_files/Year.html no one famous was born on my birth day. so sad

in fact , if u ever bother to read the book called appropriately "Fermat's Last theorem" dont know who its by, it says that wiles isolated himself for several years from the outside world. devoting his time to the proof.

they seem like a good way to restrain large number of ppple though

i suspect half of this board don't know what "Science" is defined as. unfortunately i seem to be in that half.

it is well documented that Newton was really into his Alchemy during his "Depressed" period

It is still an important piece of work. I 'm sure Wiles could have fixed the flaw himself.

I absolutely love those debates. Tony Blair does a really splendid job of defending his position. He is very witty, and can think very fast on his feet. and he enjoys bringing up dirt on the opposition. And so is Michael Howard(opposition leader). I loved his performance against Gordon Brown(Chancellor of the Exchequer). during the last budget. And I find the Booing and Shouting of the BackBenchers very amusing as well. What a great tradition. I wonder how GWBush would stand up to this style of unrehearsed grilling.

u talk of "fixing one minor flaw" as such a small thing. thats what makes or breaks a proof.

with someone called Taylor, but most of the credit goes to Wiles. wasn't he from england?

but surely, after solving the two body problem, he must have thought about the next one, which is the three body. its only logical that he should.

i am not sure if they were gonna use ultra sonic to do that. more like ultra sub sonic.. really really high wavelenghts. makes u feel quesy, and can induce nausea.

yes i know its hard, just wondering if newton thought about the three body problem at all. or he just couldnt be bothered.

what makes u think that?
