"Maths in Japanese" (Math and CS book club)

[tls]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the first couple of “Math in Japanese” videos.

You may have seen it already but I want to mention the recent discussion on basic arithmetic terms in Japanese. There is some more resources linked to make out the nuances on terms like 加法 and 加算 and others. Feel free to check it out.

And for those who are interested I’ll leave some links on the

Mathematical background on week ones' Q7.2

The question is taken from an example on some research on so called “digitally delicate prime numbers”. The paper is published on arxiv:

• [2101.08898] Consecutive primes which are widely digitally delicate

Quanta magazine also wrote an article about it:

• Mathematicians Find a New Class of Digitally Delicate Pri

EDIT: and here is a link to a YouTube video going through the paper shared in the home thread:

• Debate on... Math and Computer Science [Home Thread] - #86 by Thud

There were a couple of sections I didn’t bother to understand in detail. The section on コンマ I only got the gist of. I think it says

He talked for a while, though, so I’m pretty sure I missed something.

Yeah,I did not really catch that one either. At least at some point I went over it instead of really looking into the structure But if you come across sentences or topics you’d like to make sure about always feel free to ask about it in here.

I think the speed is fairly quick. If I compare it to my workplace, usually people only speak that fast in meetings or on the phone. Otherwise, people speak much slower unless they’re injecting in conversation.

Glad to read that
