Timeline I decided to start writing a book called "Introduction to Mathematics" on 21st of August 2019. This book was supposed to introduce fundamental mathematical concepts to a layman who never really explicitly studied any math. However, of course, it had to explain not any mathematical concepts but my mathematical concepts . Here is the table of contents of the unfinished book: Object Number Operations Expression and Function Set Relativity Ball Experiment Logic and Memory Continuity and Movement Classification I stopped writing it for a while before making some developments again on February and August 2020. To give a brief overview of the "finished" (but also clearly draft) parts of the book, I talked about data (or information) that constitutes every observable object ; then I tried to use the notion of this "objectness" to define numbers ; addition, subtraction, and multiplication/division were of interest in the following chapter of operations...

Collective Brain It has been a few weeks since I started thinking about building a website for fun. Basically, I was trying to come up with an idea that would be easy enough to be implemented fast and complex enough to make it interesting for users. I was also thinking about something interactive -- something that would involve the users in an interesting and fun way. So, I came up with the following idea: "Every social media platform makes its users to log in and post something individually. What if they had a platform where they post something collectively?" I don't want to talk about this particular idea and its implementation in this post very much, so, long story short: you can visit the  CoWis (Collective Wisdom)  website and see it for yourselves. Then I kept thinking about something new. This idea of making people do something "meaningful" or "unmeaningful" together seemed very intriguing to me. It has been a few days now that I finally ref...

P.I.P. Theorem - my favorite theorem from the high school

Background. When I was high schooling at TDV-BTL (Türkiye Diyanet Vakfı - Bakü Türk Lisesi), I happened to be thinking about functions and their properties during the 10/11$^\text{th}$ grade(s). I was mainly thinking about what happens when we change the formula of a function a little bit; do its outputs completely change by large offset or is it predictable what the function looked like before changing its formula syntactically just by looking at its new inputs and outputs? One day something interesting occurred to me as I was playing with arbitrary linear and quadratic functions - when I fixed the inputs and outputs on a table vertically, so that the (euclidean) difference between each successive input was the same, the consequent differences in the Y column did not change after some iteration, no matter how many rows(i.e., data points or x and y pairs) I added to the table as long as I respected the same-successive-difference rule on X column. For linear functions, I just observe...
