At the risk of sounding stupid...
What does QED mean? I've heard people use it all teh time, but i have no idea what it means. Maybe taht is just because I'm not all taht great at english... even though it is the only language I really know... Cheers. DS

Quod erad demonstrandum !
It's latin. It means something like : Was has to be proved ! ( Sorry, if the english sentence isn't right. But I hope you know what I mean  )[img]graemlins/monster5.gif[/img] [ 05-18-2005, 08:33 AM: Message edited by: Loudhy ] |

Well...in college, our 400+ level math profs would use it at the end of a long drawn out math proof - I was told that it was loosely translated as Thus It Has Been Proven That (Whatever was trying to be proved).
$80K Liberal Arts Education Degree in Math and this is the best of what I got out of it...sad...
