Re: Help in answering news story on refutation of fermat's last theorem
I stopped reading the Manilla Times article when I got to this statement.
He undertook a thorough critique-rectification of these fields and
found, among others, that the real number system in basic algebra, the
foundation of mathematics, is defective. Specifically, two of its
axioms (the trichotomy and completeness axioms, for those who took
basic algebra in high school and college) are false.
