Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the differences between us. Understanding these inequalities is crucial for this and future pandemics.
Now it's the turn of mathematicians to help to improve the communities of the future.
There have been accusations that the modelling projecting the course of the pandemic was too pessimistic. Are they justified?
We all know what turbulence is, but nobody understands it.
Find out about the beautifully intuitive concept that lies at the heart of calculus.
I think the liar's paradox is not a complete statement and it will make sense of the sentence only when stated along with a preceding sentence/statement, which will completely state or explain what is the word 'This' is referring to.
Once the sentence or statement to which the word -'This' is referring to is well established, only then can the Liar's statement be understood and the statement would be true or false based on what the sentence to which the word- 'This' is referring to, is stating.
I don't think the Liar's paradox is complete, a good English grammatician can be consulted for understanding the sentence.
Simply considering the sentence, 'This statement is false' as a complete statement, and assuming that the word-'This' is pointing to the same sentence/statement, is an illogical understanding & interpretation of English & English Grammer.
