*I'm really interested in this. Any idea of when it's due to start? [[User:KTDiputsho|KTDiputsho]] 14:53, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

*What is the "controversy about proof by contradiction" that you mention? It's news to me that there's any controversy about one of the standard tools of a mathematician. [[User:Googly|Googly]] 19:47, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

:: You'll learn lots of new things here, if you keep an open mind. When resorting to proof by contradiction, it is impossible to know if the result is due to the falsehood of the proposition or an undetected contradiction in the math itself.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:25, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
