5:31, this is not the common cartesian coordinate system, you have the x and y axes the wrong way round, y nornally goes on the vertical axis and x on the horizontal
@comeridewithmeAE

But it is still a Cartesian coordinate system, and not a polar, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate system. The labeling of the axis is arbitrary, x being the vertical axis and y being the horizontal is just as valid as the other way around.

How about the fact that odd numbers are female/feminine and even numbers are male/masculine Like 8 is masculine, but if 8 were odd I’d consider it feminine. Idk it’s my brain Also because I feel like O is a feminine Letter E is masculine letter, and Odd has 3 letters which 3 is feminine and Even has 4 letters and 4 looks masculine, 24 looks like a cool slick boy 31 looks like a cheerful girl

The methods we use for solving these problems might also apply to solving other problems in the future. For example, any new methods we find for solving problems about primes can influence cryptography - giving us new methods of securing and encrypting data. The more abstract a problem is the wider the possible fields and problems its solution can be applied to.

@@HopUpOutDaBed I can see the moving sofa problem (besides the obvious y'know, moving of sofas) relating to implants like artery stents; finding a maximum workable area for a device that can still navigate the body without risking bruising or other damage. It's hard to defend the value of some of these, but I'm sure across the many many professions and sciences, one of them likely has some creative (but also probably very niche) application

1. Knowledge is good for knowledge's sake. 2. The tools you develop to solve logical puzzels and problems like these come in handy elsewhere. Ring theory was invented to solve number theory and algebra problems that seemed meaningless and now it's being used for computer graphics. Everything you see on display on a computer, unless it's bitmap, including every letter typed, is an algebraic variety carved out by polynomials that the computer is graphing in real time. And of course, it is STILL being used for number theory and algebra problems. Group theory and complex numbers were really doubted but are now an indispensable part of physics and complex numbers come into anything that has to do with electricity of fluid flow. 3. The distribution of primes is useful for cryptography. The sofa problem is a calculus of variations problem, which comes up everywhere in engineering and physics. Optimisation problems' usefulness should be obvious. Ramsey theory helps us understand general graph theory better, which is crucial for computer code. Something like queing, sorting algorithms and Google Maps wouldn't work without graph theory. The inscribed rectangle problem is solved topologically. The solution for the square problem would probably require some breakthrough in real analysis, algebraic topology or analytic geometry, which needless to say would send ripples everywhere else in math and science. The rational distance one will probably be solved with algebraic geometry, given that that is how the problems of rational points on elliptic curves get solved. I already explained why algebraic geometry is important.
