Chapter 3 Universal Cartesian Coordinate Grid and the concept of
seeing the full expanse of a function graph and zoom in on the
smallest interval
Now if I am lucky, this textbook maybe only 25 pages in all and no
need to go to 100 pages. As I said before, the shorter or smaller the
text, the better off. For 25 pages is an easy read by most everyone.
Compare 25 pages to a standard Calculus text which runs into 700
pages.
Now I want to discuss in this chapter the unique ability of New Math
to see fully a function and to zoom in on a function of its smallest
interval. In Old Math we never had such abilities, except for perhaps
real simple functions like y =3 or y =x. In Old Math we have
complicated functions and the way mathematicians work them is to plot
various 100 points and hope to begin to see a pattern for which he/she
then guesses where all the other points are in the graph. And Old Math
never had the ability to zoom in on the smallest interval for there
were no smallest intervals because there was always another infinity
of points to reckon with.
In New Math all the points follow the same sequence:
0, 1*10^-603, 2*10^-603, 3*10^-603, 4*10^-603, 5*10^-603, . .
So that in the first quadrant we have a total of 10^1206 points along
the x-axis and the same number along the y-axis and thus for the first
quadrant we have a total of
10^2412 points in all.
So that as we plot the Weierstrass function, we merely plot what every
one of the 10^1206 x values gives of 10^1206 y value. And because
there is holes or gaps of no numbers in between successive numbers, a
gap has a metric of 1*10^-603, which guarantees the Weierstrass
function is well behave and no longer a pathological function. In fact
the Weierstrass function is now continuous everywhere where we define
continuous function whose hole size width is no larger than 1*10^-603.
So as in a Weierstrass type function if 0 has a y value of 0
and the next successor number is 1*10^-603 whose y value is 10^1206
which would be the steepest angle in Calculus derivative but would be
continuous. And would be differentiable everywhere.
So here we give a new concept in mathematics of graphs of functions.
We have the entire universe of points of the Cartesian Coordinate Grid
and we have the possibility of defining every function that can exist.
It is a huge number of possibilities to be sure for example just the
first two points of 0 and 1*10^-603 has each 10^1206 possible y
values. So we have a probability permutations.
So in New Math, we have graphs of functions where all is open to view
and scrutiny. We have every point or number layed out in a huge grid
and we can zoom in on any point and its neighboring points with holes
in between points.
In Old Math, zooming in never was satisfactory because once you zoom
in, there is yet another infinity of points. And in this manner, a
false function like the Weierstrass function is borne and nurtured
even though it is a fakery.
So as we plot the Weierstrass function in New Math of its 10^-603
holes between successive points, we do not end up with a pipedream of
a function of fractal jagged mountain inclines that is alleged to be
nowhere differentiable.
In New Math, since we have all the points of the grid in front of our
eyes and can zoom in to a specific point, that we no longer need a
concept of limit. The limit concept was to sweep the small infinities
under the carpet or rug of shame. But since we have those holes, there
is no need of a limit concept since we can instantly find the y value
of a point of interest and its neighbor point to the left and right
and thus have the derivative. If we had that blizzard of smaller
infinities, we need some sort of help and that is why the limit came
about. The limit in mathematics is akin to the Aether in physics, and
then finally when it was realized that in the Maxwell Equations the
moving bar magnet in a stationary closed loop is the same as a moving
closed loop and stationary bar magnet, that the Aether was phony. It
is interesting to note that the Luminiferous Aether dates to the 19th
century and the limit concept of mathematics dates to the 19th century
with Cauchy. However, physics wised up and reasoned the Aether was
nonexistent, but the mathematicians never wisened up over the phony
limit concept. The stumbling block was the inability to reason that a
borderline must exist between finite ending and infinity starting
which is the number Floor-pi*10^603 and its inverse would be the holes
and gaps in successive numbers.
So is there a better name for this concept of being able to list all
the numbers of the Cartesian Coordinate Grid with holes of 10^-603
separating the successive numbers on the axes? Is there a name for the
concept of zooming in to the smallest interval of numbers and seeing
exactly what the function plots? In politics there is a name called
"transparent and open government". But apparently in mathematics, they
are back in the stone age or cave dwelling when it comes to Calculus
and points of a graph.
