Problem 1. Cantor's problem of the cardinal number of the continuum. (The contin uum hypothesis.)
xn + yn = zn
x + y = n (non standard) theoretical integral This opens 1.
n + n = n (standard) integral calculus (n + n) ( n) (n + n) = n (n + n)2 + (n + n)2 = n 2= superscript History --opinion held-- Thank you. I suffer a problem in DuPage County, Illinois. They refuse to acknowledge the i nternet server, although they must accept it in handling. Do you intend to commi t the County?
