Artermis Fowl
-
Any fans here?
-
wao, really so unpopular?
-
never heard of it.
-
... some greek chicken?
-
one day, Artemis Fowl was introduced to Colonel Sanders and that was the last we saw of Fowl...
of course his family cried "Foul!"
but in the end, the foul deed was ignored because he was a fowl.. and that, in itself was foul

Sorrie, my topic is spelled wrongly.

i know u read the whole story of the little prince liao la... lol...Originally posted by weidev: -
a kid stealing cubes?
man thats gotta be cool -
yeah! think this story gotten be my next hunger for more booksOriginally posted by sgFish:a kid stealing cubes?

uh...no offense but i think you missed the sarcasmOriginally posted by Hocklez:yeah! think this story gotten be my next hunger for more books -
books?
i recommend 2 books... one about math, the other about a fish... both told like a detective story..
Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh
about a man's singleminded obsession with the most difficult mathematical puzzle ever.. and within that, the history of mathematics... the geniuses and stories behind them... almost minimal mathematics involved and a great read...
A Fish Caught In Time: The Search for the Coelacanth by Samatha Weinberg
about the time when a young biologist came across a curious fish in the nets of a trawler.. and she realised it was a fish thought to be extinct for 400 million years... and the mad rush to find more specimens.. the swashbuckling people, the nationalism and more, to get at THAT fish... -
i read the one on fermat's last theorem by simon singh..its kinda confusing la..but its surprisingly interestingOriginally posted by the Bear:books?

i wonder... how did Fermat do it?
all to prove that a^n = b^n + c^n cannot exist for n>2
it took Wiles stacks of paper, forays into Modular Mathematics and the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture...
yet Fermat said he could not show it in the margin of his book...Originally posted by sgFish:i read the one on fermat's last theorem by simon singh..its kinda confusing la..but its surprisingly interesting -
Wiles proved the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture using proof by induction.. which is:Originally posted by the Bear:i wonder... how did Fermat do it?

(1) Prove that the statement is true for the first case
(2) Prove that if the statement is true for one case, it must be true for the next. (e.g. n+1)
A good analogy to this method would be the domino effect. First, you would have to get it rolling by knocking down the first domino. Then, you would have to make sure that the dominos are spaced such that any given domino would definitely hit the next one, causing a rippling “domino” effect, and thus proving all cases of a statement.
For this to happen, Wiles depended on GaloisÂ’s concept of group theory Galois in the 19th century had attempted to find a general solution to quintic equations using this method of group theory
i still don't understand group theory...
anyway..Wiles employed this method of group theory and was then able to prove that the first element of each E-series did indeed match the first element of each M-series. (E and M series derived from 5 clock arithmatic)
Wiles then ran into some problems trying to topple the rest of the dominoes. Eventually, he employed the Kolyvagin-Fach method, combind with the Iwaswa method to achieve this, and thus by proof of induction, solved the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture and thus FermatÂ’s Last Theorem.
i think fermat just anyhow say one la..then somehow got correct -
now i'm lost
-
the maths one really... omg...
-
lol...nevermind..which school are/were you from arh?Originally posted by the Bear:now i'm lost -
... ya la ya la... lol...Originally posted by sgFish:uh...no offense but i think you missed the sarcasm
so wat if the boy gonna steal a cube?
the main point is, it is interesting to me
