[Don Blazys]

I also find this thread very frustrating.

When I first started posting, I never even heard of "LaTex" and was very surprised when my not using it became a "major issue".

This thread then went way off topic when those silly non-existent "indeterminate forms" somehow became the subject of discussion.

I make no excuses and take full responsibility for these things.

I will try to refrain from posting any more equations until I find the time to learn how to write them in LaTex.

I don't own a computer so the time required to practice my "computer skills" is quite limited. However, I am making progress, as is evidenced by my recently aquired ability to put up "Smilies", so please be patient.

As I said before, this entire topic can be summed up in post #75, and when I finally write those equations in LaTex, then both Japenese, and Americans will realize that problems such as the "Beal Conjecture" and "Fermat's Last Theorem" are the real "joke" because they don't even exist if we represent and eliminate common factors correctly using "Blazys terms", which are the only algebraic terms that actually prevent idiotic "unit common factors" from occurring.

In the meantime, there still might be a few "old school" mathematicians out there who are perfectly capable of understanding post #75, even though it is not written in Latex.

Once they get over the initial shock that the equations are indeed correct, they just might take it upon themselves to join me in my cause... my crusade for truth in mathematics.

The truth, of course, is that unity is not a common factor.

Present day algebraic terms are obviously inconsistent with that truth, and I believe that our teachers and students deserve algebraic terms that are consistent with that truth.

Don.
