Do we each use the every portion in equal strength to everyone else? What hidden capabilities do we hold in our unused portions? And will we ever use all of our brains?

I saw a movie once ( Fitzcaraldo, based on a true story ) and he makes ice and amazes the natives.
I was wondering how this is done without a freezer.

Any good book reccomendations for Baysian statistics, discrete choice models, experimental design, stochastic differential equations, or artificial intelligence that have a more rigorous footing?

When most people read a theorem and its proof, they usually check every step of the proof without taking advantage of many other important and useful principles that can be learned when reading proofs. Similar issues occur when people learn algorithms, definitions, mathematical methods, formulas, etc. I have addressed these issues and many more in my book. How do I get it published?

In most mathematics, it is already assumed that the natural numbers are embedded in the reals. However, this has never been proven or done. What are the typical rigorous methods to get around this problem?

There are n boys and n girls at a dance and every boy dances with a different girl on every dance. On the first dance there are n! different arrangements of boys and girls. Suppose that on the second dance no boy dances with the same girl. With that restriction, there are D_n (the nth derrangement) number of ways to arrange the boys and the girls on the second dance. Given the m-th dance, how many ways can you arrange the boys and the girls such that no boy is dancing with a girl he has previously danced with????

Obviously they'd be on the equator, and I'm assuming they'd both be on 'dry land' - which rules out the obvious 'Prime Meridian/Equator' intersection.... So what do people reckon, and why?

Questioners: why can't you take the time to make sure your questions are well worded and complete? People should not have to guess what the question is. Also, if you are careless in your wording, spelling and details, it would seem to me that you are likely to be careless and unappreciative in your evaluation of the answers you receive. I checked the stats and about 65% of all questions go to a vote. There are a few reasons for this but it is mainly the fault of those who ask the questions. Most people try to give quality answers and they deserve some consideration. And if you are asking a mathematical question, make sure the 'brackets' are where they should be. Also, when you ask a question, questions which are similar, and which have already been asked, are shown. So quit asking about "proofs" of 1=2. And, if I see the "where is the missing (or extra) $" question, one more time, I think I'll puke on my keyboard. So Askers, show some respect. Have a good day.
