So, you mean someone proved that Nicolas Bourbaki is the value of 0/0? Or he is the rational number equal to the square root of 2? Or he is the finite length of a Mercator Map whose top and bottom edges are the North and South Poles? Or he is the x and y coordinates of a point on the Euclidean Cartesian plane where two parallel lines intersect? Or he is the pentagon that, tiled, will fill up the Euclidean plane with no gaps and no overlaps? Or he is the sixth Platonic solid? Or he is the list of numbers (be it written in decimal or binary) that includes all numbers both rational and irrational? Or he is the method for trisecting an angle using only collapsing compass and unmarked straight-edge? Please explain what you mean by doesn't exist and the proof involved.

I was going to say that, just because he is dead, that doesn't mean that there can't be an endless stream of publications that he had finished typing before he died but not yet gotten around to submitting to the refereed journals of maths. Isn't that true of Euler? Haven't there been some years long after Euler's death where he was one of the most published mathematicians because his executors were still polishing and submitting MSs that he left behind?

Mr.
Can you imagine seeing the world this way naturally? Being able to describe everything in the world in numbers?
I have never even been able to understand 8th grade algebra. Geometry is fine, but anything abstract. i swear that part of my brain never got the lights turned on.

Someone: Mr. Bourbaki is a genius! One in a millio---, no, one in thousands billions! I wonder if I could introduce my son to Mr. Bourbaki's daughter to deepen our relationship more.

He'll always try to stop me, that Nicholas Bourbaki
He's got no friends close but those who know him most know
He goes by Nico, he told me I'm a copy
When I'd hear him mock me that's almost stopped me

I think Math should be taught along with history like we have in this video, elaborating why and what for formulas laws solved. Telling it like a story makes things interesting

So he's like John Prestor leading an revolutionary army of Mathematicians. Its beautiful how fictional characters can change the world.

I appreciate the amount of spite they had that they wrote a textbook, but I would also like to punch them for making that textbook
