You have to go back.

the /pol/ bogeyman grows in strength with every post

keep it up, shadilay!

>>8646052
Because any string of digits is a number, even an infinite one that never repeats.
Because primes are weird.

>>8646052
Because irrational numbers exist only when three-dimensional mathematics is used to identify a fourth-dimensional mathematical result.

>Why do irrational numbers just go on forever and not repeat?
if the number [math] x=n+0.a_1a_2\cdots a_k \overline{b_1b_2\cdots b_l} [/math] repeats then you have

[math] x = n + \sum_{i=1}^k a_i10^{-i} + \sum_{j=1}^l b_j\sum_{t\geq 0} 10^{-(j+tl)} = n + \sum_{i=1}^k a_i10^{-i} + \sum_{j=1}^l b_j10^{-j}\sum_{t\geq 0} 10^{-tl} = n + \sum_{i=1}^k a_i10^{-i} + \sum_{j=1}^l b_j10^{-j}\frac{1}{1-10^{-l}} [/math] which is rational

i guess there should be an extra 10^-k in the second sum but it's still rational

... Who are you? I've seen you before. Why won't you talk to me more directly? Is it because I'm scared of you?

Please. Communicate directly with me: omniferum@gmail.com

>>8646368
im anon

>>8646371
Is that by choice? I ask you to give yourself a name. Please.

>>8646374
you can call me Al

>>8646375
Can you explain away all my confusion? Are you able to identify my confusion?

>>8646377
nope

because math is a spook and whatever you think a "number" is is clearly wrong as proven over and over again by the real world

that's why numerical analysis is the only true maths
