Talk:Arithmetization of analysis

Created this page (obviously still under construction) thinking it would serve as a helpful place to summarize not only the historical facts of the "arithmetization of analysis" but also some current lively discussion of its significance for the "foundations of mathematics," whatever that may turn out to be!

Current lively discussion, really? I did not know. Where to look for this?

"the definition of the theory of real numbers" --- do you really mean it, or rather, the definition of [the set, or orderd field,... of] real numbers?

Yes, thank you, I ought of course to have written "creation" of the theory of real numbers -- as is contained in the footnoted quotation -- or something equivalent.

as for "lively discussion" I found some here: http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/1998-January/000804.html Perhaps not as lively as I recalled! In any case, Enjoy!

Rather lively, I see, thanks. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 08:24, 16 April 2014 (CEST)

But, it seems, you insists on the spelling "pilars" rather than "pillars"? Boris Tsirelson (talk) 19:54, 16 April 2014 (CEST)

Oooops! I didn't see any further comment here, so I pasted in a changed version of the page. Hope I didn't over-write a change that you made, Boris Tsirelson I will look at the history and try to patch up any damage I may have done. I'll be more careful in future!

Yes, please. Hope you do not hate TeX. It seems, you keep at home a version and just upload... this is indeed not a good idea on a wiki. On the other hand, if needed, you can temporary write "Please do not disturb now; let me work intensively during two days" or something like that. Another (rather good) possibility is: work on your sandbox (there no one will disturb you) and then, when ready, move it to the mainspace. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 19:54, 19 April 2014 (CEST)
