I mean the guy has a PhD in mathematics so I'm sure he understands his tools deeply. Certainly more deeply than I did when I was an undergraduate in his class. Sometimes the right analogy, even if imperfect, is more helpful to build intuition than pages of rigorous proofs. Chill out.
I’m not sure why you feel the need to keep arguing about this. I’m not going to go back to my Alma Mater and tell the prof that some nobody on hacker news doesn’t like an analogy he used 12 years ago.
Whatever point you’re trying to make is not working.
Im sorry if I come across as aggressive, Im myself chill and just here to talk, share and discover new things. Analogies are essential to learning I agree with you
There is proof of this theorem in it that blew my mind some years ago [1]. Someday I want to finish reading the rest of the book.
> Starting with a given convex quadrilateral, construct a square, external to the quadrilateral, on each side. Van Aubel's theorem states that the two line segments between the centers of opposite squares are of equal lengths and are at right angles to one another.
Who got more time thanks to AI ? I think a lot of us are working more instead
