beyond excellent piece of history. wow. I also agree with you. just to understand PA ON a deep level requires a ton of mathematical logic, and it still doesn't really tell what you a number is.
Very interesting vid! I remember taking a course in Advanced Calculus in college using Walter Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis and we had to actually construct Real numbers by using Dedekind cuts, and also by Cauchy Sequences to complete the rational field Q in order to get R.

Thank you Dr Wildberger
