	pseudomathematics - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken primarily by non-mathematicians.
		Pseudomathematics has equivalents in other scientific fields, particularly physics, where amateurs continually attempt to invent perpetual-motion devices, disprove Einstein using classical mechanics, and other similarly impossible feats.
		Excessive pursuit of pseudomathematics can create mathematical cranks, who regard mainstream mathematicians with suspicion bordering on paranoia because their ideas are continually rejected.

	Pseudomathematics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken exclusively by non-mathematicians and having the distinguishing characteristic of producing no advancement in the field of rigorous mathematics (although work so produced may be of some aesthetic or artistic value).
		Although pseudomathematics is exclusively engaged in by non-mathematicians, not all mathematical research undertaken by non-mathematicians falls into this category.
		Excessive pursuit of pseudomathematics can create mathematical cranks, who regard mainstream mathematicians with suspicion bordering on paranoia because their ideas are continually rejected.

	Mathematics
		Mathematics is not a closed intellectual system, in which everything has already been worked out.
		Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken outside academia, and occasionally by mathematicians themselves.
		It often consists of determined attacks on famous questions, consisting of proof-attempts made in an isolated way (that is, long papers not supported by previously published theory).

	Pseudoscience - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Further, because of the heterogeneous nature of the scientific enterprise itself, it is increasingly difficult to create a set of criteria which can apply to all disciplines at all times.
		Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken by either non-mathematicians or mathematicians themselves which do not conform to the rigorous standards usually applied to mathematical theories.

	Werner Gitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is best known for his opposition to evolution.
		In his book In the Beginning was Information, he argues that information theory refutes evolution, though this has been rejected by the scientific community as pseudoscience, specifically pseudomathematics.
		Rich Baldwin of talk.origins explained that Gitt has incorrectly cited research that used "algorithmic randomness and not statistical randomness," which has led to false conclusions.

	What is Numerology? Part 1
		In the past, numerology especially found a place among early mathematicians like Pythagoras, but was soon phased out of the regular way of mathematics.
		Most scientists of today dismiss this branch of belief as pseudomathematics.
		Numerology is also often compared to the historical path and associations of astronomy, astrology, chemistry and alchemy.

		Numerology helps in deciding when to invest, when to marry, when to travel, when to change jobs, or relocate.
		The Greek mathematician, Pythagoras used numerology and numerological divination which are referred as the pseudomathematics.
		It is believed by the historians that the modern numerology has been derived by integrating the teachings from the ancient Babylonia, the works of Pythagoras and his followers, the astrological philosophy from Hellenistic Alexandria, the mysticism of Christians, the occultism of the early Gnostics and the Hebrew system of the Kabbalah.

	Mailgate: sci.logic: Mathematics, Pseudomathematics, Artificial Intelligence
		Part II Pseudomathematics Cantor's Theory (classical set theory) is a conceptual framework which encompasses both mathematics (the science of phenomena observable in the world of computation) and a fabricated world of the super-infinite.
		It merges the two worlds so cleverly and so seamlessly that those who accept that framework of thought often lose the ability to distinguish between the two worlds.
		(Note: henceforth, I'll refer only to the fabricated world of the super-infinite as Cantor's Theory) Cantor's Theory is a pseudomathematics.

	WikiMiki.net - Numerology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Numerology is the study of the purported mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and the character or action of physical objects and living things.
		In addition, Clifford Pickover considers the "link between genius and madness" among scientists and mathematicians in his 1998 book, Strange Brains and Genius.
		Although pseudomathematics is primarily engaged in by non-mathematicians, it should not be assumed that all mathematical research undertaken by amateurs falls into this category; occasionally amateur mathematicians have produced results of genuine interest to the mainstream community.

		While birthdays can be a good time to reflect on your accomplishments and how your life has changed over the past year (oh how it has), I say screw that.
		Instead of making something meaningful come out of this day, I'd rather spend time consulting my favorite form of pseudomathematics: numerology!
