Yeah nah. Actual Maths textbooks and proofs - did you not notice the complete lack of references to textbooks in the blog? It's funny that he mentions Cajori though, given Cajori has a direct reference to Terms #MathsIsNeverAmbiguous
I think I'm gonna trust someone from Harvard over your as-seen-on-TV looking ass account, but thanks for the entertainment you've provided by trying to argue with some of the actual mathematicians in here
So you're going with the appeal to authority argument - ok, got it.
But if you're gonna do that then make sure you check out Cajori's credentials, since that's, you know, who we both quoted.
You mean the dude who claimed to be, and was quoting wikipedia? BWAHAHAHAHA
