Beschreibung

The nature of the 'continuum' is a problem of great profundity that philosophers and mathematicians have been studying for more than two millennia. The problem is abstract, but it relates to concrete situations and is probably connected with the profound nature of the human mind. The author comes to the conclusion, through concrete and abstract examples, that the continuum is not found in what exists, but is made up of the synthesis between what exists and its hidden potential.

PREFACE

The subject of my work is “the nature of the continuum and its relationship with discontinuity”.

I have used some common experience as examples, and also the rational, irrational, and real numbers about which, despite some brief explanation in the text, some basic understanding is required. The topic is covered in compulsory education, but is rarely explored. Yet, scholars have dedicated themselves to it for about 2,500 years. My work will have achieved its purpose if the reader comes away with some depth of understanding of the subject matter and its connection with everyday facts. Basic notions of rational, irrational, and real numbers are widely and freely available on the web.
