Fear of commitment of self-help, Harvard psychologist Deborah DePaulo has written books such as "Singleism" on the stigmatization of single people. The use of the term "fear" or "phobia" imparts an inherent linguistic bias. It recasts specific lifestyle decisions (such as bachelorhood vs. marriage, or a conscious decision to remain childfree by choice) implicitly as generalised, irrational phobias while failing to identify, describe or address an individual's specific motives. For instance, the men's rights movement, citing high divorce rates and expensive alimony and legal costs, would speak not in terms of "fear of commitment" but of "marriage strike" to reflect their position that
Proof that e is irrational a proof that "e" is not a root of a second degree polynomial with rational coefficients. This last fact implies that "e" is irrational. His proofs are similar to Fourier's proof of the irrationality of "e". In 1891, Hurwitz explained how it is possible to prove along the same line of ideas that "e" is not a root of a third degree polynomial with rational coefficients. In particular, "e" is irrational. More generally, "e" is irrational for any non-zero rational "q". Proof that e is irrational The number "e" was introduced by Jacob Bernoulli in 1683. More than half a
