Replying to Avatar jimmysong

I'm reading papers about rational trigonometry and not basing math on set theory, rejecting infinite sets and real numbers using Cauchy's category of converging sequences and my mind is blown.

It's like I'm reading the Austrian Economics of the Math world.

My daughter is in Classical Analysis right now. Thinks of everything in terms of Cauchy and Lipschitz.

I don’t expect that to mean anything but it IS a world and it tells me that there’s more to life than algebra. Analysis is a way of thinking but it’s a LONG rabbit hole.
