@Charlie when i was a writer i used to suffer from "writer's block" sometimes - when you can't figure out what you want to write about. lack of inspiration/motivation. it happens in math now, too
Todays topics are: Infinity a a number, fact or false. Is infinity is it stronger or weaker than zero, in todays showdown we look at $0 \cdot \infty$ and last but not least has anyone actually counted to infinity twice
@Charlie i have a bunch of physicist and engineer friends from undergrad. but now they all make a lot money money than i do, so i guess the joke's on me.
Hi all! I just dropped in as this room seems a lot more lively than the one of MathOverflow. Is there anything specific being done to keep vloume up, or is this just how things developped?
@N3buchadnezzar: on MO there used to be a question (it is still there but closed) if good math jokes exist, the conclusion of some being, based on the given examples, clealry no. ;-) But of course one could try general jokes.
@Charlie: once I searched a page trying to grasp the many different variants. This turned out to be a bit too complex for me so I use ;-) if I want to express something is intended as playful/not too serious and :-) for more genuine hapiness or friendy approval. Everything else is beyond me. But perhaps the above is a non-idomatic usage.

Czar Nicolau II (Nikolái Alieksándrovich Románov; russo Николáй Алексáндрович Ромáнов) foi o último , e grão-duque da Finlândia. Nasceu no Palácio de Catarina, em Tsarskoye Selo, próximo de São Petersburgo, em 18 de maio (6 de maio no calendário juliano) de 1868. É também conhecido como São Nicolau o Portador da Paixão pela Igreja Ortodoxa Russa. Q...
Peter the Great, Peter I or Pyotr Alexeyevich () ( – ) ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from until his death, jointly ruling before 1696 with his half-brother. In numerous successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. According to historian James Cracraft, he led a cultural revolution that replaced the traditionalist and medieval social and political system with a modern, scientific, Europe-oriented, and rationalist system.James Cracraft, The Revolution of Peter the Great (Harvard University Press, 2003) [...
@anon Let $A$ be a subset of the real numbers with the following property: If $a,b\in A$ and $a\neq b$ then $\frac{a+b}2\notin A$. Then $A$ has measure zero. I think it is not that complicated.
In mathematics, Lebesgue's density theorem states that for any Lebesgue measurable set A, the "density" of A is 1 at almost every point in A. Intuitively, this means that the "edge" of A, the set of points in A whose "neighborhood" is partially in A and partially outside of A, is negligible.
Let μ be the Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean space Rn and A be a Lebesgue measurable subset of Rn. Define the approximate density of A in a ε-neighborhood of a point x in Rn as
: d_\varepsilon(x)=\frac{\mu(A\cap B_\varepsilon(x))}{\mu(B_\varepsilon(x))}
where Bε denotes the closed ball of radius...
