Thank you very much! According to our efforts, we find that biological verification of the fact that fingerprints never duplicate was done before 1945. How was it verified? Would you please offer some references? We are very interested in this field. Thank you again! | ||

Fingerprints are not part of mathematics. They are part of biology. Fingerprints never duplicate. Mathematical study of a phemomenon which cannot be quantified is not possible. Approximations, generalisations and arbitrary decisions must be made which ultimately lead to the statistical result being inaccurate. No statistical model will ever give you the true value. Statistical analysis never results in Zero: that's just not mathematically possible. | ||

In mathematics, among how many people will fingerprints possibly duplicate? Who or which institution has ever done the research in this field? |
