"A specific feature of mathematics is the fact that it works hand in hand with language, which plays a fundamental role in it and appears in the organization of the mathematical process at every stage: definition, hypothesis, proof, and theorem." – Claire Voisin (1962-)

@bodhipaine What's remarkable is that you can develop an intuition for infinity in spite of its apparent counter intuitiveness

31 mars 1596: #CeJourLà naissance de René Descartes (†11/2/1650), mathématicien, philosophe et physicien français. En maths il introduit, avec Fermat (indépendamment), la géométrie analytique. C'est aussi de lui que vient l'usage du x pour l'inconnue.

Alright, future engineers!
The **Power Set** of a set A is the set of *all* possible subsets of A. Ex: For A={1,2}, P(A) = {{}, {1}, {2}, {1,2}}.
Pro-Tip: If a set has 'n' elements, its power set will always have 2^n elements. Handy for combinatorics!

@zygoloid it is brave to try and apply mathematical standards to etymology!

TIL: For any prime number p >= 5, p²-1 is divisible by 24.

That's cool.

Isn't it?

Yes it is.
