I have discovered a remarkable proof of this theorem, which this margin is too small to contain.	[reply]

"The internet is a medium because anything well done in it is rare." Re-arranged and modernized version of a quip by Fred Waring (if true). PS: er... what is a "STEM" quote? perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

Thank you. So my citation fits, I guess. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

I used to say "Give me a fulcrum and I shall move it." As I was a young anarchist those times, it was more a political statement than STEM, though. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

I only recently found out that the M is supposed to stand for mathematics; I'd always figured it was medicine and that mathematics was included implicitly as the foundation for all the others. toby döt ink	[reply]

> and that mathematics was included implicitly as the foundation for all the others. From my experience this would exclude medicine. (NOW I'm nasty :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} PS: FWIW the corresponding German term is MINT Mathematics "Informatik" ( = Computer Science) Natural Sciences Technology I mostly hear it in connection with phrases like "I always wished my child would go study at a MINT faculty..."

There is some mathematics directly involved in medicine, such as calculating doses based on patient weight. But it's mostly indirect. Medicine is based on biology. Biology is based on organic chemistry. Chemistry is the study of the effects of physics on atoms. And physics is maths using energy and matter instead of numbers. toby döt ink	[reply]
