    About this ebook

    A preface states my intent, apologizes for errors in past work and my method of working. Chapter 1 starts with the equations for the improper integrals for (1/x) and (1/x2)[sq of x]. The lines supposedly project to infinity, but one has an infinite area and the other of 1. This is clearly false. Assuming an infinite progression of any quantity, you would have an infinite summation. I attack the number line continuum as contradictory and untrue. Without increments between numbers, all points on the line would be the same point. I show division of infinity is impossible, as well as any mathematical operations upon it. Chapter 2 shows that curves cannot be continuums, a continuous progression of a curve. They are all partial polygons. It is the parallel line that is sacrosanct by logic, contrary to what the math shamans maintain. I explain that equations not only have limits in their domains, but the equation itself is limited by its parameters. In the case of approaching asymptotes, the equation either falls short and runs parallel to the axis (so called infinite area), or runs parallel to the axis, or crosses the axis (definite area.) In all three cases, the equation domain is no longer within the equation limits. Parallel lines, whether falling short of or parallel to axes, are no longer approaching an asymptote. The equation is outside of its parameters. If the curve crosses the axis, it moves away from the axis and no longer within the equation limits. The domain must cease at these finite limits. We see that calculus is not a true math, but a souped up statistical analysis. Chapter 3 says my original intent was to lay the foundation of polygon or incremental calculus, but stopped short for reasons explained briefly in the preface and here. I encourage readers to check out related essays by me and thank them for their interest, and encourage experts and those with avocations to pursue where I have left off.

    I write for my health and the health of the world. Often the cure rivals the disease in grief and aches. My writing career started at twelve when I attempted to write a sequel to Huckleberry Finn but never finished it. My writings have included poetry, plays, a novel, non-fiction and writing newsletters for here and there. Recently, I am dabbling into short stories. Apart from newsletters, nothing has been published in print. I bought an audio recording of one of my poems but threw it away in disgust due to an inappropriate reading by the narrator. 'Contra Pantheism...' was my first eBook. About a hundred eBooks have been published since including some books of verse, and my essays collected into five volumes, and one volume of collected poems. A few other types of literature are on my list of published works. My essays deal with fundamental questions of philosophy as well as natural philosophy (science.) On the whole, my works are as far above the writings of Plato and Aristotle as the material power of the United States is over that of Ancient Greece. I once asked myself if I had ever written anything memorable, but couldn't remember exactly what I had written. I started to check my manuscripts but stopped as it seemed the answer to the question was obvious. Gore Vidal mentioned in one of his memoirs that writers tend to forget what they write and are a bad source to ask about their works. Gore knew a lot of writers. I have not and may have been a bit hard on myself. Apart from self-improvement and maybe making a few bucks, my main goal is to bring about a golden age for mankind. Being a man, this sounds appealing. It is pointless to desist and all small measures are worth the effort. Albert Camus thought suicide the only serious philosophical question. He was a fool and died young. Suicide is a waste of time. The most important functional question is: How do I get what I want? The one question that trumps this is the ultimate question of intent: What should I want? As Goethe pointed out: Be careful what you wish for in your youth, you might get it in middle age.
