That depends. Done any university maths? :P (Or advanced high-school maths...)

Stop it Schatten, you're turning me on!

Busy Beaver is for noobs! Let's plot the Ackermann function!

Psh. Computable functions are so passé.

But surely that just simplifies to infinity (assuming that m, n can be any non-negative integers, since you didn't specify). Boring!

 

(If you restrict the domains of m and n so that the result is finite, then it of course is computable.)

Huh, do I really have to explicitly rule out the trivial cases?

Actually, yes.

 

Pure mathematics: Pedantry at its most refined. ^_^

 

That's too easy! Haven't you ever heard of divergent summation?

Not really, no... I guess they don't teach that here in first year.

 

I went and looked it up and I don't see the point of applying such methods to the Ackermann function, but I guess it doesn't need a point. :P

I haven't been taught it either, but as far as I can tell, divergent summation really only has applications in quantum physics (renormalization) and obscure mathematics.

Since when did this thread have a point?

Well, it did. Before it got horribly horribly derailed. :P

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      @TheUnbeholden
      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
