The continuum is a safe-space for analysts to handwave away certain subtleties on the grounds that it's "approximately correct" (this is a pretty nebulous phrase, because they never keep track of their error bounds either).

Discrete math systematically keeps track of everything, so it only seems hard in comparison.

Because using the tools we currently have available to study combinatorics requires a very good/large working memory (the average individual has a working memory of 7 elements; a high IQ individual with a good working memory might be able to juggle a few dozen elements). If you can find a way to abstract away the details, you can "simplify" it, and indeed, there exists some ways to do that, but no one has found a great oracle that allows every combinatorics problem to "smoothed" out.

Hum, quite interesting, can someone confirm if this is indeed true and not a fraud?

>>9110672
Because it requires logical thinking and people are afraid of it

>>9110913
Confirm what? Were You just stumped by simple iq memes?

That's how it's done in Analysis as well, retard.
Calculus students and physicist have no idea what they are doing usually.

Not Physicists with the PHENOTYPE.

You have something called pencil and paper, retard. This is the most psued answer I have ever heard.

Hasn't Witten said that he has trouble doing rigorous math?
From what I understand he has a good personal approach that yields results, but he has problems with rigorous mathematics.

The one thing /lit/ doesn't have are pseuds like you.
