“You don’t sound like somebody who’d ever get past a calculus course. “

Heh. Heheheheh.

No, I suppose I don’t - I am blunt, dislexic, a lousy typer, and not particularly concerned with spelling. I have also shave exactly once this year, and pretty much look like the unibomber. I am even wearing a hoody.

In your 70 semester hours of math, were you able to prove whether the countable chain condition implies that a space is compact?

I have never solved that one - and my graduate advisor in maths told me no one else had, either. After he let me stew on it for a year or so.

Complete this sentence: “For all Epsilon > 0, there exists delta > 0, such that...”

If you cannot, you know exactly crap about calculas.

And the function does not continue.

for every ε > 0 there exists a δ > 0 such that for all x ∈ I, |x-c| < δ => |f(x) - f(x+c)| < ε

First sentence could apply to any sort of convergence situation but I'd have to be smoking whatever you are to try to guess what that third sentence means... Try laying off it for a few days.

Outside of Geometry most math is a construct developed to make (supposedly) complex calculations simpler and thus more complex and saving Mathematicians from being exposed at birth.
