"We avoid this problem by ignoring it" is one of many math quotes I see online often. I looked into this one and found it in a 1975 book by Ian Stewart called Concepts of Modern Mathematics. Today we dive into this quote, why it was written, and confront the problem that was avoided 50 years ago, which will take us into pseudo-random number generation and linear congruential generators. #maths #mathmemes
