Are you seriously trying to argue that the OP didn't ask for recommendations, EVEN THOUGH HE CLEARLY DID, because he started off by asking for a link to a textbook? Jesus-fucking-Christ, HE STILL ASKED FOR RECOMMENDATIONS, END OF STORY.

Who are the fucking retards who birthed you, you fucking genetic abomination, and how did they get away with dropping you so many times on your head? Get the fuck out of this thread you stuttering autistic idiot.

Because natural numbers represent relationships between objects that present themselves easily in the world. It's hard to think about substance without thinking about the quantity of substance. Either you a whole substance, a portion of a whole substance, or no substance.

Try measuring an irrational or a transcendental number in the real world. Will you be able to discern the exact measurement of pi from any of your circles? Is it even physically physically possible, given that at some fundamental level, the building blocks of reality will probably have discrete lengths?

At least irrational numbers seem to mirror natural numbers in "realness" on the surface, so one can easily dismiss the problem as "trying too hard". But imaginary numbers are a serious bitch to think about. Try to intuitively understand a substance with a quantity that can be described by imaginary numbers. You fucking can't, unless you're talking about relationships between objects that we don't see on a day-to-day basis, like electric currents.

You can understand the fundamentals of electrodynamics all you want, and you can understand how imaginary numbers let you describe physical phenomena, but you will NEVER understand imaginary numbers as a descriptor of quantity. NEVER.

Can we permaban /x/ posters and move their threads to /trash/?
I'm worried they might cause various mental illnesses to become contagious.

It's even possible to procedurally generate a 2D NES game?
