EF is as simply described as other functions with analytical value
like Dirac's delta and Heaviside's step. Funny there's ready interest
when I describe it in person, including with the description of the
caveats and the importance of mathematical rigor and its satisfaction
thereof, outlining the development, context, significance,
reservations, questions, and avenues for research.
(And Gorin and Kukushkin go about integrating the staircase with
division by zero, I don't expect you to proffer much of an opinion on
that.)
So, why don't you go lamenting that Dirac and Heaviside's useful
results are taught daily in the curriculum of the reals. In fact I
encourage you to make that your personal cause, though, there's been a
lot of development since the 70's so there'd be some reading involved
to catch up to today's.
While you're at it, go about re-Vitali-izing measure theory, go about
noting Banach and Tarski's interesting results in doubling the line,
note that the universal set is Russellized already with the
compactifying sputnik of quantification, note that the real physical
universe as a set is all of its subsets (and Kolker's opinion on that
is "no opinion"), and explain why and how configuration of physics
experiments computes ratios of "dark" matter, ah, never mind, you've
claimed yourself willfully ignorant of anything extra your limited
standard.
While you're at it, bring forth any application solely due transfinite
cardinals, it would make you famous. Ah, never mind, none are known
in the standard and you're not much for independent results (though I
do describe a use for transfinite cardinals in probability, and there
are transfinite cardinals yet simply not so fundamental to the real,
of course as concrete).
Amigos y amigas, or casually friends as I'd so address you, friends:
yes, Goedel does prove that there are true facts, about the objects of
our theory, not theorems of our standard theory: there are true
theories, extra our standard theory. Those real truths are of
profound interest to the philosopher.
And then, yes, conscientious mathematicians interested in fundamental
truths of mathematics, and mathematicians in the applied as most of us
in our white-collar endeavors, or at least for engineers for example a
windowpane check or as you would, would be sincerely expressive of
interest in new mathematical truths they didn't have to defend from
the backward and willfully ignorant, and they're interested.
So I'll have it that yes, Virgil, even you could learn these new
things.
Warm regards,
Ross Finlayson
