Analysis’ Detachment from Reality—and the Introduction of the Actual Infinite into the Foundations of Mathematics

Detlef D. Spalt

Chapter Chapter 13 in A Brief History of Analysis, 2022, pp 187-213 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract For example, it is impossible to express the exact length of the diagonal of a square with side 1 in fractions. (This proof is very instructive and not complicated, but it does not belong to analysis and so it is omitted here.)
