Thank you Sir for your insightful comments, particularly when you mentioned about the book that: " It's nice because it covers both SR and GR in a decent amount of mathematical detail, but in a way that's accessible to readers who only know algebra and no higher math. I don't know of another...

Dear Professors and learned readers, The book Relativity: The General and Special Theory by Albert Einstein is, in my opinion worthy of discussion in this forum. My particular questions concerning this book are: 1. Why do you think it not used in high schools since the author recommends this...

So far the only references that I have found can be viewed at these URL's : Professor Richard Milton Martin...

It became really, really QUIET in here all of a sudden? :confused: :confused: :confused: :frown: :confused: :confused: :confused: anyway... I can't wait to see what he has planned for tomorrow! Hoe!, Hoe!, Hoe! MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile...

Please note: I am NOT saying that the preposition "of" has a "unique-mathematical-meaning" when used by mathematicians. What I am intending to convey is that of all the general usages that can be found at dictionary.com for "of", mathematicians CHOOSE to use a limited subset of them i.e...

May I suggest the topic of this thread be modified to better convey my intent: Uses of "of" applied most often in math and why? In my humble opinion, the answer to why mathematicians apply certain uses of "of" more often can give us a much deeper understanding into the nature of the art...

To whom it may concern, I am looking for any articles on the uses of the preposition "of" in mathematics. I once read in a teacher's edition of a pre-algebra textbook that suggested students should be taught, as early as possible, the many uses of the preposition "of" in mathematics, but I...

Merry Christmas everybody :smile:

-i is the only solution for x in the equation x=-i. :biggrin: Please note: In mathematics, you don't have to initially understand anything, you first just "get used to it."
