"DEI" is sweeping the known universe.   Thanks for the link.

I don't remember where I saw this first, but it certainly seems consistent with that scenario:

:wtf: You! You.. ALT-numeric bigot, you!

Oops, sorry, my new-speak translator was accidentally left on.  What I was actually trying to say was, I think these threads are further proof of how little humans make sense in general...  Even in universities, the weight has shifted to the first syllable, uni.  All Shall Think And Speak As One, with as little information content as possible, so as to not offend anyones sensibilities.

Math Squid;
   It's sometimes hard to make sense, but Nominal Animal has best grasp of how 2 or more 'weird' things can still be resolved, if you can somehow postpone doing exact calc on the individuals, and, instead focus on the relationship between the two:
   Maybe try 3x Pi / 4x Pi. Quick glance, and just CANCEL the weirdos, resulting in concrete answer, without having to solve EVERY individual term.
RJSV:
Maybe could install a 'CONFUSED' icon, along with 'thanks' and 'reporte de la Moderatique'!

dy / dx is never evaluated because dx is infinitely small and zero.

When working with Fourier Transforms for example, the terms are introduced into a formulae as a pair to help solve it, and then disappear at the end without ever being evaluated.

The imaginary number "square root -1" is never evaluated, but introduced into a formulae at the start to help solve it, and disappears at the end.

Pi also is not evaluated, but remains the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its radius.

"Square root 2" likewise is not evaluated, but remains a question: "What value multiplied by itself equals 2 ?".

These are termed irrational "numbers", having no exact value.

But these are not numbers, or values, but questions, or formulae.

If we remove all these non-numbers, or questions, or ratios, or any unevaluated formulae from our number line, we are left only with integer numbers.

So, a number line should contain only integer numbers.

QED.
