Bug fixes and new features in this update

• Pi now equals 3.
• New way of proof allowed: proof by majority vote.
• Möbius strip fixed: It has 2 sides now.
• Borders of fractals smoothed.
• Division by 0 now allowed.
• Random number generators now always produce the proven standard random number 17.

Can I request support for real imaginary numbers please? Could be useful.

Perhaps also consider imaginary real numbers as well.

I don't use this lib because it still lacks the number 42

The sqrt(-1) now = 1.

and at last the mathematicians agree and admitted by voting in their global congress meeting today that we have 20 fingers, so we should use it all in our numbers system and not like yesterday when we only was considering the 2 hands fingers just because the mathematicians in the past was keeping their socks on all the day because they are always in the service of the emperors and kings in the past as a science consultants, and they should not reveal the foot toes to the Emperor. so in counting they was using the hands fingers only. but now we are free and we should return to the origin. so all the schools and universities should adopt the mayan numbers since The mayan number system is based on twenty .
Maya numbers have three symbols :
shell symbol for 0
dot for number 1
a bar for number 5
the counting are going from 1 to 19 then like we do when we reach number 10 they do it almost the same when they reach number 20
from 0 to 19:


20 and up:

Well, math is sometimes hard to accept.
Like that the sum of all natural numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... is equal to -1/12.
