Yes, if you push the circles down a bit, it forms a 7 by 7 matrix. But if pushing the circles into a square matrix is not allowed: how?
Edit: I get it now. It is about (efficient) packing not about counting. I also get the 4th panel now…
magic_lobster_party ( @magic_lobster_party@kbin.run ) 37•7 days ago7 by 7 matrix isn’t the optimal packing. The square shown is slightly smaller than 7 by 7.
hsdkfr734r ( @hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl ) English7•6 days agoThanks. I thought it was about counting. It all makes a lot more sense now. (And it also doesn’t.)
mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English6•7 days agoYeah it can fit almost 7 in a line in the last panel so theese definitely aren’t the same squares(or circles)
apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English20•7 days agoThese are optimal packings of n circles in a square container of the smallest size that will contain them
mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English8•7 days agoSo it is fitting the 49 in smallest square and not fitting as many circles as possible in given square? Okay that makes sense
apotheotic(she/they) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English6•6 days agoCorrect!
sabreW4K3 ( @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al ) English8•7 days agoMaths is a science now?
Tolookah ( @Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de ) English58•7 days agoScience is applied math, engineering is applied science, manufacturing is applied engineering, etc. it’s math all the way down.
Math and philosophy are basically interchangeable here. I know there’s a maths version I saved somewhere. 😅
OrnateLuna ( @OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English2•6 days agoI mean without philosophy there is no math
barsoap ( @barsoap@lemm.ee ) English1•5 days agoWithout computation there’s neither which is why CS always wins.
And vice versa.
OrnateLuna ( @OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English1•6 days agoWdym?
Science and philosophy are two sides of the same coin: the basic building blocks of how we perceive the world around us. Both need each other. Logic is often taught in maths classes. It’s a bit like how to build a program (in this metaphor, it’s how our brains percieve and interact through the world), a little but of intent, and a little bit of code.
Natanael ( @Natanael@slrpnk.net ) English1•6 days agoMath and formal logic are effectively equivalent and philosophy without conditional logic is useless. Scientifically useful philosophy is just “explorative logic” or something like it
