Re: Robby, who is interested in almost everything
How do you post pictures on the screen? Or rather, how can I do it? I don't have any in mind right now, but I might later. Thank you. Hmmm. My other post is missing. Greetings to the Lady of Shallot. Why would you want to be her? She died young. It's too late for either you or I to do that. To all a...

Re: Robby, who is interested in almost everything
Randall Only some are "inductive", in that they follow my "zipper" format of starting at some n, doing it for n+1, and seeing that this will eventually cover all the numbers/cases. Robby So you used the classic inductive method. What about forming an expression in "i" o...

Re: Robby, who is interested in almost everything
Thank you for this proof. It certainly seems inductive to me. True, it works downward instead of upward, but does that matter? Is there a way to create a general expression in "i" or "n" and then square it and find that it works? That would be deductive. But I couldn't think of a...

Re: Huckleberry Finn/ introduction and first thoughts
Does a person have to be "better" in order to be worth saving?

Re: Robby, who is interested in almost everything
Hi, Chris OConnor. Well, I'll bet you and your wife had a great time in Greece. I'd like to find Randall R. Young on this website. He used to be on Amazon but left and said he was coming here. He's good at math--much better than I am--and he said he'd do a deductive proof of the fact that if you add...

Re: Huckleberry Finn/ introduction and first thoughts
Huck actually believes that by helping Jim he is committing robbery, because he truly thinks that Jim is someone else's property. And his instrospection on this is illuminating and sad. He thinks that he will go to hell for the robbery he is committing in helping Jim. And he decides it is worth it, ...

Robby, who is interested in almost everything
<t>Hi. Formerly Enki, but here I shall be Robby. I was Enki, because I'm fond of ancient Sumerian mythology. Robby approximates the Hebrew pronunciation of "Rabbi". I am a somewhat observant Jew but NOT a rabbi and not orthodox either. [Chances are, I know more about Jewish stuff than lots of folks,...
