Hello Sara, welcome to the discussion of "Entia non sunt multiplicanda".

Occam's razor (in its various forms) can naturally be applied in many fields, including mathematics.

The principle does not preclude complexity, and does not imply "truth is simple". 

Rather, it provides a method of choosing between theories. Thus you might apply Occam's razor to two complex theories about the Lie Group E8, for instance.

MrP

If 19 mathematicians say so. I won't contradict them.

But I will apply Occam's razor in my own way, and that is to cut myself off from any discussion about Maths. I chose a long time ago the simpler subject of Latin.

An interesting interpretation, Anon, but it seems completely contrary to what I hear from my Muslim friends.

wow you are saying Ameican dosnt kill innocent people. i give you two exmaples; hope be enough for you to underestand that Ameica doesnt care about innocent people. In Kandahar, Afghanistan American bomb on the home of the wedding party host and 74 people were killed most of the dead and injured were women and chiliden, and a six year old girl naems PAliko, was brought to the hospital still wearing her party dress. all members of her family were killed.... ( makes me cry)..what was that killing innocent ppl or was just to pump up their party. how about nuclear bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, killing an estimated 40,000 people... i m just asking you to read news and read book dont be close minded please.

I don't know why mostly people from western lands are strongly misunderstoon by the meaning of Islam which itself means is "Peace".Ok apart from the meanings and logic,I just want to share my thoughts here.As someone said not everyy muslim hates western world and but there are some Terrorists who they are trying to spoil the peace of the whole world,let me clear onething here Don't ever associate the term Terrorist with any True muslim.How can we beleieve?if someone is pretending to be a muslim with a muslim name and bombing around,it can be also assumed that there are some conspiracies making aganist us.

I'm just confused why couldn't U.N.O solve the problems of Muslim Countries Like Palestin and Occupied Kashmir.Perhaps they arent considered to be humans in the eyes of Christian Worlds.
