However, it is possible that I am misreading this since I read it as a mathematician, not a computer scientist, a field where my expertise is limited to using email :-) Therefore I am interested in the views of the participants in this panel on the technical details of Sergeyev's discussion of infinitesimals and infinite numbers. | |
| Dec 27, 2017 at 8:48 | comment | added | Mikhail Katz | @D.W., I personally have published widely on infinitesimals and infinite numbers both from technical mathematical point of view as well as historical and philosophical point of view; see list of publications on infinitesimals, including articles in Journal of Symbolic Logic, Erkenntnis, and Studia Leibnitiana. I have therefore been naturally interested in Sergeyev's project on infinitesimals and infinite numbers. I must say I have been disappointed not only by a lack of precision of his discussions of infinitesimals and infinite... | |

| Dec 27, 2017 at 0:39 | comment | added | D.W.♦ | I'm not sure this is on-topic here. This site is for technical questions about computer science. Asking for a summary of how something is perceived by the entire community of computer scientists might not be answerable, especially if it is an esoteric issue that most computer scientists might never have heard of. As such, I don't see how this question is going to be answerable, short of a poll of all computer science professionals on this topic (which probably hasn't been done). Are you able to edit the question to ask a technical question that is objectively answerable? | |
