This will be clear when we present examples, and it will be clear why this is a bad idea when we present paradoxes.

| | This week we continue our exploration of what numbers are, and where mathematicians keep finding weird ones. Last time we defined the real numbers, but it took a lot of work. Now we'll see how truly strange they are. They're so strange that it's tempting to avoid them and stick with something simpler. But the real numbers do a much better job of describing modeling the parts of the world we care about. Their weirdness is exactly what we need to guarantee that a bunch of
