Talk:Number theory

I'm removing the link to "Perfect Symmetry Number Theory" (http://www.symmetryperfect.com). A google for the term shows only a few well-placed links in web directories. On reading the page my thoughts were:
  1. crank
  2. hmmm... could be intruiging
  3. crank
The turning point was this final paragraph:
Ultimately, the two numerical systems are fully isomorphic in describing the same underlying mathematical reality as it exists independent of any contrasting, arbitrarily-invented, mathematical languages of interpretation.
Wrong. Two negatives multiplying to give a positive is a mathematica reality. Indeed, changing this is non-symmetric, as 1*1 = 1, but 1*-1 = -1*1 = -1*-1 = -1. I'm prepared to be convinced that this is a recognized branch of mathematics, but until I see bibliography I remain a curious sceptic. -- Tarquin 15:28 Sep 10, 2002 (UTC)
