Is this where we join the debate about whether or not the concept of the infinitesimal has a place in legitimate mathematics?

'Legitimate mathematics'? Big talk from the Pharaoh who had frequent cases of incest going on in the families of his kingdom's Heads of Mathematics.

Wait, in Egypt incest marriages were totally legitimate weren't they?

Legitimate or not I still think it's a bad idea. Some claims keeping it in the family makes it easier to keep track of the family tree, but I see it as problematic when it comes to breakups. Breaking up in an ordinary relationship is hard enough, but you can at least go your separate ways. Break up with your sister or mother and you are more or less forced to kill them to get some quiet, and that tends to upset the rest of the family.

But it's such a common dynastic solution!

Hm. Good point. My apologies to our Pharaonic inventor of mathematics.

I never claimed to invent mathematics.

I just learned early on that it is a most useful tool for politics.

And as for breaking up marriages?  There were always several options available to royals.  But I must concede that England's Henry VIII set a standard that puts him ahead of the rest of us.

Pffft. He just used subtraction. That's not exactly advanced mathematics.

He did a bit of integration as well.
