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

As a matter of fact, yes, more than you want to know, believe me. :)

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.)

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

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

Actually, yes.

 

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

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      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
