Mathematics poll
Feb. 18th, 2009 11:03 pmInspired by a similar poll in
palmer1984's journal.
About the "proof" question below: examples of the kind of proof I mean would be a proof that there are infinitely many primes, or that the square root of two is irrational, or of Pythagoras's Theorem. A proof in computer science counts too. By "know a proof off by heart" I mean that you'd be able to convince someone of it at a party, if they had the background to follow the proof.
If you know lots of proofs, feel free to choose one you particularly like in the last question...
