Is there a generally accepted standard for learning number theory and combinatorics (like sicp is for programming)?

Name: Anonymous 2013-02-21 18:04

What standard is there supposed to be? Don't you just learn these topics?

sicp is for programming
You sure get me, 6/10

>>> {} in {}
Traceback (most recent call last):

{} is the empty set and therefore does not "contain".

it contains nothing, e.g. the empty set

The empty set is not nothing. It's the set that contains nothing. Like an empty bag if you will.

Does the empty set contain the empty set?

But the empty set is a subset of the empty set.

(1) ∈ ℕ  and (1) ⊂ ℕ

Every set has itself and the empty set as subsets.

If {} was a prime number it'd be 1, the primest number.

You should look up the difference between set membership and subset relations.

Awesome, thank you.

Also "⇒ implies" so /that's/ where that came from!

If you live in a first class country (not America) you can feel free to stroll right into any university library of your choice and pick your selection of PhD dissertations and class literature in the subject that interests you.
