And in an entirely different vein,

Hello! Sorry I haven't been able to post anything for a long, long time.I'm really busy (yeah, right, who isn't :-) with finishing up my summer work. I have a million things to say, and I hope to tell them soon, but this one I cannot wait to share: KRC wrote a post, part of whose focus was on theorems and axioms. This area has been one of great interest to me, partly because of my uncle's several attempts to introduce me to the topic. I went throgh the wikipedia pages relating to these, and I must say they are extremely well written. Do have a look at these pages when you have time:
