| | | | | We continue our exploration of what numbers are, and where mathematicians keep finding weird ones. In the first three parts we extended the natural numbers in two ways: algebraically and analytically. Those approaches gave overlapping but distinct sets of numbers. This week we combine them to get the complex numbers, and see some hints of why the complex numbers are so useful-and so frustrating. | |

| | | | | We are supposed to have a very clear idea about the `laws of logic'. For example, if all men are mortal, and Socrates is a man, then Socrates is mortal. Are there in factsuch things as the "laws of logic"? While we can all agree that certain rules of inference, like the example above, are... | |
