Go back to school... teacher.

Here's a thought for you. It's inescapable.

Consider a normal circle - x^2 + y^2 = c.

From 'point to point', to make a mathematically perfect 'smooth'
circle, delta x and delta y is required to be zero - not just
'approach' it.
Otherwise a circle is a polygon with each facet a function of the
minima of x and y.

But if delta x and delta y are zero, what's going on...?

Also, you cannot have a correctly increasing 'sphere' (3 powers?) -
Fermats Last Theorem points that out.
This is apart from the fact that, with a sphere, delta x, delta y AND
delta z must ALL be zero.

Both circles and spheres are 'approximations' of reality; both
physical and mathematical reality.
If you could calculate ABSOLUTELY the circumference of a circle, you
could not measure the radius with same accuracy.
If you can measure the radius EXACTLY, you cannot similarly measure
the circumference.

Where is the logic and rationality in mathematical philosophy?
If this basic issue eludes you, then where are you truly going?

If I am in conceptual error, please explain.
