    You mean other than she had the wrong answer and called everyone else out on not having even 6th grade math knowledge?

    She brushed it off and acknowledged a mistake. Why attack someone who can admit such things?

    LOL, so now Cobra Commander is a better mathematician than Erdos..

    So, we found two slightly different formulas. fact remains, 2 is not between 1 and 2. It is 2.

    Just remember. You are quoting Nathan Fine. Not Bertrand, Chebyshev, or Erdos.

    BB, were you a math major? I ask because I'm one class away from finishing my math minor and the math counselor at UA I know is telling me I'd be stupid not to just double major in it.
    Yeah, math + CS. Are you interested in theory, or more applied stuff? You'll have to take at least two theory courses most likely: namely, analysis and algebra. If you enjoyed the epsilon-delta and big-N, epsilon arguments in calculus then you might like analysis; if not, you probably won't. Algebra is really cool because you learn some interesting applications like cryptography if you take an applied version of the course; the pure version will be a lot of learning the vocabulary of groups and rings in preparation for a second semester or graduate course. Other than those two courses though, stuff like ODE/PDE crops up all the time in physical systems, population modeling, finance, and the like. Game theory is really interesting if you're into econ. Numerical analysis is really cool since it teaches you how do calculus/ODE/PDE when you're given tables of data and not formulas, and you might study a bit about errors using computers due to problems like addition in hardware not being associative and the like.

    If you're really interested in math, I'd say it might make sense to turn the minor into a major. If you're just looking for something to throw on a resume, it might be a waste of time.

    I wasn't entertaining it until recently since I never thought it was stuff I'd be using but then that changed the other day. My current plan is a double major in accounting/finance with the minor in math. Right now, I'm interning for a company owned by a hedge fund. The other day I met the hedge fund guy in charge of the company I work for, and he said any accounting or finance major with a math background can do extremely well with hedge funds, and me being a math minor gives me a huge edge when I try to intern with them not this coming summer but next.

    The thing is, a triple major in accounting/finance/math is A LOT more school, and I don't really have the passion for math I did in high school or early on in college. I'm also not sure if the classes I'd have to take to go from a minor to a major will help at all with finance compared to the classes I've already taken.

    Nathan Fine was referring to what Chebyshev said about the Bertrand postulate. Here are several references to that postulate:

    Wolfram Mathworld: Bertrand's Postulate

    The Prime Glossary: Bertrand's postulate

    University of Georgia: BERTRAND’S POSTULATE

    Erdo's proved a modified version of the original.

    There are a total of 48 married people in a swingers group, and everyone in the group has a spouse who is also in the group. Each married couple gets 9 condoms and 3 dildos. How many total condoms and dildos are being passed out?

    How would you write out that equation?

    Who would want to?

    Just call the Angel's club (used to be Ace of Hearts) here in Portland and ask someone there.

    Never into the idea of a swingers club, know two couples who are. You lost me at dildos.

    Maybe you should call the Egyptian club instead. It's a lesbian club/restaurant.

    That whooshing sound was his unambiguous re-statement of the problem in the subject line going RIGHT over your head...

    It didn't go over my heard, and is a simple problem to solve. I just thought I would respond with places he might like.

    Now I've been to the Egyptian club a few time with a girlfriend. I like bisexual women.

    Damn, a triple major is crazy, but he's obviously a much better resource to listen to than I could be. An analysis course that does measure theory (e.g., first semester grad real analysis or 2nd semester honors undergrad mathematical analysis) could be useful for applications to probability. Still, I'd just ask him point blank what courses to take.

    the mathematical equation is so ed up, it's like writing "i went to the bouncer asking for directions."

    the sentence could be interpreted as myself or the bouncer who needs direction.
    get your parentheses right.

    yes and id interpret the answer as 288, but i failed math so whatever.

    oh and dont triple major. double majoring is already a . if i went back and started over, id pick one solid major and that's it. everything else can be learned in grad school...

    One upping has nothing to do with having more knowledge or information than other people, and everything to do with insecurity. You literally can't let someone respond to you without responding back, whether it be correct information, bull info, or banality.
