A function maps the elements of one set
into certain elements of another.
INTELRAP is just such a map presented by

ABSTRACT MATH
The Theorem Of The Other (Abstract Math Humor)
Statement of Theorem:
Given a set {a, b} of distinct elements a and b, choose to refer to
one of the elements as "the one" and to the remaining element as
"another", then one of the elements must be the other.
Proof:
Suppose that we choose to refer to element a as"the one" and to b
as "another", then we have, since "another" is just the contraction
of "an other", "another" = "an other". We may therefore write
a = "the one"
(1)
b = "another" = " an other "
(2)
Now since there are only two elements of the set and since we
have already chosen a to be a = "the one", then it follows
that
"an other" must be THE other. So equation (2) may be written
as
b = "another" = "an other" = "the other".
So we have
b = "the other"
(3)
So referring to (1) and (3), we have
{a, b} = {the one, the other} dropping the parenthesis for
typographical convenience. We thus arrive at
{a, b} = the set with two elements: the one and the
other. So
since b = "the other" is an element of {a, b} it
follows that
one of the elements is "the other" and this completes the
proof.
Great efforts are being made, across the globe, to unify the
four forces of nature. The following, however, is a modest effort
in the direction of unifying abstract math and verse:
*
Nothing we must not forget
is the content of the empty set.
But if a set has only one element
then it does not contain another.
But if a set has two elements ,
then one of them must be the other.

There are more serious and exciting things to
come
in both computational and abstract math.
