| May 29, 2010 at 22:06 | comment | added | Burhan | One important about number theory, at least when it come to diophantine equations, is that general and universal solutions are impossible to a certain extent. So we often have to start from the "bottom up", from first principles, when solving its problems. Again, there's a Gowers-type debate here. But this also true for a lot of mathematics. | |
