Just doing some trig derivative problem sets, not too engaging but better than higher derivatives.
I’m doing an independent study on approximating pi, possibly converting it to hex/binary. Any good books on pi?

Refreshing Geometric Algebra and Calculus.
I plan to use some of its formalism in my next publication.
It's fascinating because I tried just using a Clifford algebra and quickly ran into issues that made it obvious that a discrete exterior calculus or the geometric calculus would be much simpler
I'm excited.
What do researchers here feel is the more popular/standard field? I tend to prefer the exterior calculus since the ties to differential geometry is already well developed, but the notation of geometric algebra appears to be really easy to work with.
Thoughts?

I was reading a parsing theory book and having trouble with a proof on (recursively defined) regular expressions' properties. Not sure if properly applying double induction.

I formally doubt this.

You mean abstract algebra?

For those of you who ascribe to ZF(C), would you care if it was proved to be inconsistent, or just continue using it?
If you cared enough to switch, what system would you use instead?
