Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.
How To Play
How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.
Rules
- Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
- When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
- If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
- Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
- Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
- If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
- This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
- When posting make sure that:
- You have included all of the previous day's entries.
- You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.
Notes of the Day
So, I could keep on going with the descriptions of sets as real-world lists of things, but there's not really anything you could see in day-to-day life that is infinite. So now that we're moving into talking about things that might or might not be infinite, it's probably best to talk about more abstract sets.
One question a person might ask is "you know, all this stuff about set theory? It all seems to be talking about lists and collections of things, so would that really count as mathematics?" The answer is just that math is a tool you use to describe something in the real world. It is, in general, just an abstraction of what we see and experience. As you start talking about the fundamental building blocks of math, the lines become more blurred than what we're used to. But you can build up from these blurry foundations to all the math you are familiar with.
We already have the notion of "natural number," from the idea of sets with bijections between them. From there you can add negative numbers to turn the natural numbers into the integers. Then a dip into ring theory will tell you how to go from integers to rational numbers. Then a foray into topology will get you from the rational numbers to the reals. Then you go back to ring theory to get from the reals to the complex plane.
Now, when you're talking about set theory in math, it's usually seen in the context of "sets of numbers" or "sets of functions between sets of numbers." There are more exotic kinds of abstract set out there, but this is general what you're looking at. These are all structures derived out of real world things, ultimately, but they're different. They are lists of ideas, and thus they can be infinite.
