``Re: mathematheosis'' by Wkbj79 on 2006-07-29 13:38:16
I agree that a definition of mathematheosis would make a nice edition to PM. Although the phrases ``obvious'', ``clear'', and ``easy to see'' are probably the most common for this phenomenon, the word ``trivial'' needs added to this list. I know a handful of people who say ``trivial'' when referring to mathematics that they think is easy but is in reality quite difficult. In fact, trivial is the word that I most often hear in reference to this ``exemption'' that rspuzio describes.
