"proofs"
| |
The proofs on your site are very unclear! I don't understand any of them. With every next proof, you keep referring to the previous ones, which makes that one just as unclear. |

Well, I wouldn't say that I SO know what you mean (as I don't).
Your statement or complaint, as you may wish, is absolutely inconsistent.
It wouldn't be if the "previous proofs" you talk about weren't available for you to look at.
You should go in order, but anyway, it depends on what you're looking for.
If it's just curiositywhat moves you, I suggest you to give up, there's too much intellectual work to be done in order to understand.
But, again, if your aim is to learn something, just read one proof after another, and I can asure you it will be fruitful.
Nowadays, nobody wants to learn anymore.
If it's easy, then you just read it out of curiosity, or just study to pass a freaking test.
I don't know if this apply to people in general, but as surrounded as I am by teenagers, I can state so.
How old are you Christine, by the way?
See you.
Pilar. |

If you go in order and read all the proofs,you should be able to understand.
And why getting offended by my question?
I'm 18, for all it matters, I was just asking.
If you didn't uderstand the proofs, look again and try harder, or look for additional material to help you.
See you;

>The proofs on your site are very unclear! To be fair you should probably admit that some people think otherwise. So, perhaps, the problem is not necessarily in how the things are proven on the site. >I don't understand any of them. There are more than 1200 of them. How many have you seen that you feel such a general statement is really warranted? >With every next proof, you keep referring to
>the previous ones, which makes that one just as unclear. Is it not what the proofs are about? A proof is a derivation of a statement from one or more other statements or axioms. I would be very grateful if you took some time and made an effort to provide an example - any example, not necessarily from the site - of a proof that you consider clear. I thank you in advance.
