was Andre Weil scatterbrained in his attack on Euclid? #635 Correcting Math A theorem sometimes called "Euclid's first theorem" or Euclid's principle states that if is a prime and , then or (where means divides).

existence of numbers in mathematics #629 Correcting Math Alot of mathematicians and most laypersons think that because you can imagine a number larger than 10^500 that it immediately exists just as 1 or 2 exists. But existence is not a mathematical provence. Existence comes from physics and existence in physics comes from the duality of particle versus wave. Another wa... 24 Jul 2010 05:53
appending the new axiom to the Peano Axioms that precision defines finite versus infinite #629 Correcting Math Now, curiously enough, this new axiom appended to the existing Peano Axioms strengthens the Natural Numbers as defined by those axioms. New Axiom: define finite-Natural Number as all less than 10^500 (the largest meaningful number in physics) and define infinite Natural Number as all those equal to or larger ... 4 Jul 2010 03:39 |
