He's a kook.

When you've accomplished one-tenth of what he has,
maybe you can call him a kook. In the meantime,
I suggest you
1. don't believe everything you read in usatoday,
2. keep a civil finger on your keyboard, and
3. wait until you see a detailed exposition by the
man himself.

so you support the idea ??

the idea is even too crazy for JSH !!

i dont know about america but here in europe you cant become a prof in math if you cant work with fractions. :p

abolish fractions ?? get real !!

he should have better said abolish aleph_3 instead of fractions.

will mathematics in the future include aleph 3 , aleph 4 , aleph 82 , beth 34 , epsilon 72 ...
but no longer fractions.

nice going america !!

why might as well replace sqrt(x) with a mathematical god proof.
( certain american religious politicians would be pleased )

what's next ? abolish non-euclidean geometry ???

abolish matrices ???

we might as well hand over the fields medal to JSH for his ring of objects then.

and since we dont work with fractions anymore we can also forget about divisions ...

and thus also factoring or primes...

in fact , abolish number theory id say.

the nutty professor 3 -> out now !!
