for the next hour I am going to live-tweet and possibly film myself trying to understand novel math concepts

fucking tease you open talking about the real #& #39;s and then spend the rest of the page talking about rational numbers, which I hate (for aesthetic reasons)
ok walking through the proof that r^2=2 does not have a solution in the rational #& #39;s
makes sense ok moving on

god this textbook is full of itself lmao
