Math really is a language.
Cuz i cannot understand a word of that footnote.
It says, 'Better known for other work'. In case you don't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski#Bombings
That's not the part of the foot note i was referring to.
Then I think you're misusing the word footnote.
Ha! I was. Thank you.
D'oh
But my point about math still stands lol
Then maybe you were referring to the part above the footnote, which is called the text ☝️🤓
It's not a big deal
Well, of course. If you're not an expert, it's pretty much impossible to understand an out-of-context passage from a more technical or abstract paper.
I understand that there's a two digit solution if a three digit solution exists but not for which problem and why that's relevant or interesting for anything.
Also, I keep confusing the Unabomber with the Killdozer guy...
~~Unibomber killed a bunch of kids in a daycare.~~
You're thinking of Timothy McVeigh / Oklahoma City.
The Unabomber was named for bombing Univertities and Airline execs. 'UnA'
Knowing which problem isn't necessary to get the awkwardness of citing a serial killer in a math paper.
