Yay, quotes!
Sep. 28th, 2004 06:26 pmDr. Galitskiy, talking about inertial and noninertial frames of reference, points to a black marker on the table.
"The system of reference related to this black market - sorry, black marker..."
Also today:
"I'll leave the floor [in place] and remove the Earth." - Dr. Galitskiy.
Me: QW.
Chris: Quadwatic Wecipwocity?
[On finding determinants via Gauss-Jordan reduction]
"None of that killing disturbs the peace of the neighborhood, i.e., the determinant remains unchanged." -Dr. Nevard
Ed Early has a new name: Edwear (his username, and also presumably his new line of clothing. :P ) (Note: He actually made this joke.)
Josh's resolution of the paradox: Undefinability cannot actually be expressed in ZFC; thus, "the least undefinable ordinal" does not actually count as a formal definition, as it's a definition in the meta-theory.
