What is wrong in geometry?part4

and Y does not specify the slope at the point (X,Y), what ever value
we may assign to the cordinates X and Y; coordinates (X,Y) and the slope
or the Tangent AT (X,Y) are/remain independent variable. Therefore the
numerical expression (formula) does not reveal how the slope (Tangent)
varies between any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) or between (x2,y2) and
(x3,y3). Therefore in coordinate geometry we have only logical ways of
'connecting' any two consecutive points: (1) connect (x1,y1) and (x2,y1)
then connect (x2,y1) and (x2,y2). This way we construct 'curvature' of a
'curved' line in terms of infinitely small 'steps' in the shape of right
angles. (2) connect (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3.y3) etc by a series of straight
lines. In this case each of the points (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3) etc.
conceal within themselves infinite number of 'slopes' or Tangents, which
should logically have benn distributed in the space between the points.
Coordinate geometry is not what it pretends to be; it only generates
a system of configuration of disconnected points. The problem with
numerical expressions is that there are always 'numbers' between any two
'consecutive' (specified) numbers. Therefore, unless we eliminate numbers
we cannor GET lines and surfaces.
May the noble minded scholars kindly correct any error committed through
dullness of my intellect.

Again, your newsreader is broken.
Or is that how it comes out? As a continious stream of spew?

there are things called limits and infinity/infinitesimals...

There're these new invention called
"sentences" and "paragraphs". You might
want to investigate them.

Do you know how "slope" is defined?

If you eliminate numbers, you cannot
GET anything.

We don't need no steenkin' "noble
minds". Math is adequate.
