Everything is basically real.
Mathematics is a very wide subject. I like to follow it because it
helps me understand how something would happen. I don't know much about
the intricacies of the regular polygons.
I have read some Russell and some other math books. I read the sci.math
and sci.logic groups sometimes to learn more.
