Mathematical Patterns, Induction, and Mathematical Induction Mathematical Patterns, Induction, and Mathematical Induction An important part of a mathematician's work is the perception of patterns involving numbers. Occasionally, a mathematician encounters some equations and perceives the presence of a general regularity in them. For example, look at the following simple identities: 4^1-1=3*1, 4^2-1=3*5, 4^3-1=3*21, 4^4-1=3*85, etc. Anyone can recognize the general pattern: multiply 4 with itself as many times as you like and subtract 1 from it, you will always get a multiple of 3. Similarly, 1+2+3=3*4/2, 1+2+3+4=4*5/2, etc. Here again you can perceive a pattern: add all the natural numbers from 1 to any number you like, the result you get is always the same as the half of its product by its successor. Mathematicians have got a certain way of writing such general patterns. The first one is written as "4*n-1 is always divisible by 3", and the second one as 1+2+3+... +n=n(n+...

The Reality And Non-Reality Of Mathematics There's little doubt that mathematics rules the reality roost when it comes to the laws, principles and relationships within the sciences in general and the physical sciences in particular. Further, mathematics plays a dominant role when it comes to the purely economic aspects of our lives and where would sports be without statistics? However, when it comes down to brass tacks, how much of really real reality is actually reflected in our mathematics? The Reality of Mathematics. Mathematics is just a shorthand mental concept that simulates reality, or approximates reality or a possible reality or even an imaginary / impossible 'reality'. Mathematics is NOT reality itself. You can mathematically manipulate the alleged extra dimensions in String Theory but that doesn't mean of necessity that these extra dimensions actually exist. Mathematics is a tool that at first approximation tries to reflect upon the nature of really real real...

Pi's Infinity: An Analogy My theist debating acquaintance, MG, from another place, who just doesn't accept the concept of a temporal infinity[#] (either a linear one or a circular one, either one with cyclic events) on the grounds that you can't get to "Now" from either the starting point of an infinite past or by going backwards from an infinite future. I'd argue that the everyday concept of mathematical Pi disputes MG's assertion. [#] Despite the fact that theists accept the concept as given that God is an eternal / everlasting being without beginning and without end. [Note: I debated with MG the reason I think that there is a temporal infinity and as such any specific happening would have to ultimately repeat. I often used the analogy of walking around a sphere an infinite number of times and thus repeating being in a specific location at a specific "Now" or approaching "Now". MG responds... ] MG - "There is no reason to think a...
