anyone who doesn't understand the article levi civita field is not a mathematician gee i guess that counts out all the great mathematicians starting from archimedes and ending with those who came just before abraham robinson it does not matter that rubin has no idea whereof he is talking about all he has to do is throw out the correct terminology and he can say whatever he likes because he has a phd here i am superior to newton leibniz and cauchy now rubin who is a worm next to me claims i do not understand ha ha this is too funny please add your name otherwise you are not a mathematician seriously there are no infinitesimals i proved that cauchy's derivative definition is a kludge rubin could not understand it it has every bit of relevance to this article and all the wrong theory of infinitesimals but of course it will be rejected because unlike robinson it has not been inked my closing sentence is the emperor has no clothes
