It's..... no, see, fa/tg/uy is the nickname that anons on 4chan.org/tg/ chose for ourselves. We're the 'traditional games' board. We talk about any games that aren't video games, or are videogames but that /v/ is too young and stupid to appreciate (old sierra games, text adventures, etc). Mostly, /tg talks about Warhammer40k and Dungeons and Dragons. The whole 'fa/tg/uy' thing is a self-depricating meta-joke mocking the stereotype of our kind of gamer being obese neckbeards. I'm actually in rather good shape, all things considered. But I didn't come here to educate you.

I'm here for you to attempt to educate me about this hypothetical. I could just 'make up' the answers, but I'd rather be as plausible as I can be. Helps to maintain immersion.

Because limit points are not the same thing as boundary points.

>>7673024
This is a topological notion, not something you'd see in a set theory book.

Closed is not defined to mean "not open". A set in a given topology T on a set X is closed if it's complement in a given topology is open. The fact that a set can be both open and closed is trivial since the X and the empty set both must be open sets by definition of a topology, and so since they are eachother's complement, they're also both closed.

>>7673024

Topologically speaking, the definition of closed is that its compliment is open. That means any set with an open compliment is closed. So if you have an open set, if its compliment is open then it is also closed. If you have a set that is not open, and its compliment is not open, then it is neither open nor closed. The problem with "open" and "closed" is that they imply mutual exclusivity, when in reality they're two different qualifications.

The current system is this:

Every debate has its own page, and the title of the page is the issue being debated written as a yes/no question. For example, Should suicide be legal? or Does God exist? The software calculates the current answer to the question based on the following algorithm:

- YES: At least one sustained argument for, and no sustained arguments against.
- NO: At least one sustained argument against, and no sustained arguments for.
- MAYBE: Neither YES nor NO.

By editing a page, it's possible to add arguments for and against, and objections to the arguments and to other objections. The software marks each argument and objection as SUSTAINED or REFUTED based on the following rules:

- SUSTAINED: No sustained objections.
- REFUTED: At least one sustained objection.

As new arguments and new objections start with no sustained objections (indeed, with no objections at all), they start out as sustained. This allows the software to calculate the status of every other argument and objection in the debate, and ultimately the current conclusion of the debate.

This is a bit like http://www.riyarchy.com/, but more flexible and with the whole "calculate the conclusion" feature.

>>7672995
So it doesn't evaluate the quality of the arguments, only whether or not there is an argument? Are many weak arguments favored over a single strong argument? Is personal experience weighted as heavily as statistically significant data? Lastly, can someone object to an objection? If so, would it start a new debate?

I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE!!

I think its a neat fact. At the very least, the units are correct.

Two numbers (a and b) are congruent by modulo n iff the remainder from dividing a by n is the same as the remainder from dividing b by n.
I find this way of thinking about it to be simpler, as then you can think about them as being the same distance from a multiple of n.
The other way of stating it is that two numbers are congruent by mod n if the distance between them (a-b) is divisible by n.

>>7672779
To give an example with this guys story:
a = 9
b= 18
Then a and b are congruent in modulo 9,
Because if you divide 9 by 9, your remainder is 0.
If you divide 18 by 9 your remainder is also 0.
I've never heard of the concept, but I just understood it by the name. Why is this so hard for you?

>>7672781
>Why is this so hard for you?

I get the definition, but I don't get:
>The other way of stating it is that two numbers are congruent by mod n if the distance between them (a-b) is divisible by n.

You are pretty much me in that I love lego, love creating stuff and am EE student. But the difference is that I love math and science (except for chemistry).

The advantage of your degree is that you have a lot of career options (at least where I live) so it's definitely possible to look for a job where you can be creative. Don't worry bro.

I feel you OP, I loved LEGOs too and made cool stuff.

I'm going into Biology now though. At least I get to dissect things. I put my hand in a deer's body cavity recently, elbow deep in blood from internal bleeding, just to cut it's heart and liver out to eat.
