Why was this down voted? The comic is a take on a fairly prevalent belief, heck, Hardy said it!
I wish more people on this forum would explain why they were down voting something, that on the face of it, seems reasonable.
I'm up voting this.
EDIT: When I posted this, I was of the opinion that the comic was just giving a funny take on the maths is a young man's game thing. Now, after looking it several times, I am of the opinion that it was trying to poke fun of this said misconception. And, giving the benefit of doubt to the original poster, I still stand by my upvote.
Me too. (Not sure that a link to that xkcd comic in this context “on the face of it, seems reasonable”, though.)
Does a link to a comic have a place in this forum? I don't know the answer to that, perhaps it is not. That said, my comment was more a reaction to other down votes, this just happened to be the straw I was commenting on.
(I meant “context” not “comment” BTW -- fixed that.)
Yes. I've posted such links myself. But that particular one seems to me to have very dubious topicality.
Really? I think, after staring at it for some time, that the comic is making fun of the thinking that maths is a young man's game.
