It is time to end the delusion which pervades modern 20th century style mathematics, and move towards a true mathematics for the new millennium. Infinity needs to go!
We need to accept the actual reality of mathematics, rather than some fairy-tale wishful dreaming that allows us to prop up analysis and topology. We need to return to the central role of explicit examples and concrete computations, supported by clear and complete thinking that can be acknowledged as such by all!
In this video we talk about various grammatical dodges that the defenders of infinity hide behind, and for an alternative introduce the Law of (Logical) Honesty. The job ahead of us is huge-- especially for young mathematicians: to create a new and viable mathematics that really does make complete logical sense, that connects directly with what our computers can do, and that can be understood and expressed clearly and completely, without religious (ie axiomatic) assumptions.

Screenshot PDFs for my videos are available at the website http://wildegg.com. These give you a concise overview of the contents of the lectures for various Playlists: great for review, study and summary.
My research papers can be found at my Research Gate page, at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Norman_Wildberger
My blog is at http://njwildberger.com/, where I will discuss lots of foundational issues, along with other things.
Online courses will be developed at openlearning.com. The first one, already underway is Algebraic Calculus One at https://www.openlearning.com/courses/algebraic-calculus-one/ Please join us for an exciting new approach to one of mathematics' most important subjects!
