/sci/ - Science & Math

>>12501942

You're trying to do math using your own immature intuition about what it means for a number to be whole and what it means for something to be infinitely close to something else. You're flailing around with imprecise concepts because you haven't thought about them enough to make them 100% rock solid (don't take it personally, it took the efforts of many smart people over many centuries to get us to our current level of logical precision).

Stop appealing to your feels. Stop saying shit like "When I see 0.999... what I see is..." Read about what the real numbers actually are in a mathematically rigorous way (as the metric completion of the field of rational numbers). Read about what limits of sequences are (using the epsilon definition).

this makes the /sci/ incels SEETHE
