not a real question | |
| Jan 22, 2010 at 18:36 | comment | added | Anton Geraschenko | I agree with Theo. I don't really see what you expect to get out of asking this question. I don't like any of the answers, and it's hard to imagine somebody giving a good one. | |
| Jan 22, 2010 at 16:40 | comment | added | Zev Chonoles | I'm not sure how appropriate this is to MathOverflow, but I've certainly wondered the same thing and I'm interested in seeing people's answers. | |
| Jan 22, 2010 at 16:29 | comment | added | Theo Johnson-Freyd | Why I don't like this question: (1) $\mathbb Z$ is not "just" anything. An "algebraist" very well might study "rings and algebras", for example. (2) It's discussion-y. How are you going to pick a "right" answer? | |
