Dot, Dot, Dot: Infinity Plus God Equals Folly

by James A. Lindsay, Victor J. Stenger ...

Infinity and God have been close bedfellows over the recent millennia of human thought. But this is James A. Lindsay's point. These two ideas are thought, mere concepts. Lindsay shows in a concise and readable manner that infinity is an abstraction, and shows that, in all likelihood, so is God, particularly if he has infinite properties.This book is about math.

Les exponentielles négatives

En mathématique il a été toujours dis que les exponentielles sont strictement positives. Il est vrai que cette théorie reste toujours vraie. Mais est-ce que c’est le même cas pour son application? Alors c'est pourquoi j'essaie de démontrer que la fonction exponentielle peut être négative. C'est-à-dire qu’après les calculs, elle donne un résultat négatif. ... Read more
