A point is that which has no part.

About Me

Oh, I've just written the most authoritative text on Geometry known to man and man has used this text--the Elements--for over 2500 years. My proofs are not only orthos today but also kallos--as kallos as you can get. I'm quite upset though that someone would have the gall to rethink my fifth postulate just so that he could start his own Geometry! Non Euclidean Geometry! I still say--I don't care what you say--that through any point not falling on a straight line only one straight line can be drawn that does not and never ever will intersect the first! The russkiy evrey Lobchevsky put the kibosh on my logos. Fuck your shallom. It's all about the salaam! But its alright you russkiy evrey, its alright because someone loves me and knows what's up on my geo baby and he's a German. Kant said that my geometry stands as the highest example of a synthetic a priori construction, and that it represents the mind's own intrinsic structure. How about that for a compliment? How do you like that Lobo. I can live with being on a plane, go ahead and live on a sphere then! You won't see me there. Oh yeah, and don't give me any more shit about stealing Pythy's proof. It was just so beautiful and it slipped into my book as smoothly as prime numbers run on into infinity.http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/elem ents.html

My Interests

My interests are plane geometry, the theory of numbers, irrationals, solid geometry, reductio ad absurdum, the method of exhaustion and squaring the circle. I dabble in Optics but its not worth more than mentioning.

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet you. If you want to be my friend, please send an email saying why you want to be my friend. I have almost 13 hundred friends and not a single idea why any of them have wanted to befriend me!
