Extract

The following theorems are closely connected in various ways; one common thread that runs through them is that in each a critical stage of the proof consists in filling in a missing value in the range of values for which the result is known to hold. Another common feature, of no logical importance but none the less the raison d'être for this article, is that each serves to illustrate important fallacies and omissions in current accounts of elementary algebra and analysis.
