Bill's Notes

The algebra discussion below certainly would go in our "Best Discussions" archive, if I had one. Read SuperG, Paul, Chris, a newcomer named "Ben" and myself attempt to figure out if you spot infinity in an algebraic equation, or a blade of grass, the difference between realism and nominalism, Sherlock Holmes' coke habit, whether God can make a two plus two equal a snowy egret named Larifel, and the nature of language.

Paul Burgess has some relevant (or salient) quotes on his blog about algebra, including one from Catholic mystic Jack Kerouac.

Thanks to all who have temporarily raised the level of discussion* at this blog. The discussion is still open if anyone wants to jump in.

* not discourse. discussion.
