I've had my eye on this forum for awhile now and, as math is mainly mental masturbation, I think I've found a use for it.
I have no idea of what people would actually post in this forum, but I thought I'd share these links:
Doron Zeilberger's facinating site is worth viewing, or, in the very least, his wild opinions page.
David Eppstein's Geometry Junkyard has lots of hard problems that are nice to look at.

"The problem with the Clay problems is that they are prejudiced towards the so called `rigorous' mathematical proof-standards, implicitly excluding many other much more creative, and intrinsically just as legitimate, methods of reasoning used in the physical and social sciences, plus future non-Fregean logics. The Clay Institute is also very elitist, insisting that the articles be published in `refereed mathematical journals of world-wide repute'. Who is to decide how reputable a journal is? It would be nice if they provided a list, so that I would know where to submit my forthcoming proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. "
Guys like this have a precisely opposite attitude towards math - opposite from the correct path, which is to say mine. Here is a mathematician who wants math to be only about math, and wants to extend the outside world's methodology into the math bubble. I think everything lies inside the math bubble, and we are best server by extending the methodology of math out.
But this sentence in particular - is he the janitor of the AMS? |
