There is an active and ongoing movement to shut down my channel and other sites and to have me banned from as many forums as possible. This is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact. It's a shame that in this day and age the best ideas and the greatest knowledge is shouted down by the insecure orangutans (mainstream academics) who control the Church of Academia. Their PhDs are not only worthless, they are mostly fraudulent, being elaborate plagiarisms of past dissertations with a few unremarkable facts added to produce a veneer of authenticity. Emails discussed in the video: Dear Professor Gabriel, My father is a professional mathematician, and he’s inspired me to learn math. I found your explanations much more satisfying than the bogus epsilon definitions he gave me. When I told my father about your work, he got really mad at me and said you were a well known crank. He said that him and his coworkers tried to get your channel shut down, because they were annoyed with the “misinformation” you spread. He told me not to contact you, or he’d punish me.  I hope I can talk to you again the future about math. Best of luck, ——————————————————— Mr. Gabriel, I have again come back to your work, and each time I revisit it I find myself discovering new ideas. This is truly some of the most enjoyable mathematics I've ever seen. Admittedly, I have become somewhat obsessed with understanding every aspect of this subject. I have studied your book, articles, and videos, trying to piece it all together. Having understood the central concepts long ago, I am at this point more interested in the finer details, and not necessarily just details of the New Calculus, but some of the preceding mathematics that is ill-treated by the mainstream. In particular, I have been focusing on power series and the origins of the generalized binomial theorem. I've especially appreciated that you emphasize the fact that all series can be written in a closed form if you simply include the remainder term. I suppose the biggest question on my mind right now is about a rigorous definition of convergence. While I am certain the concept is well formed, I would be interested to hear your take on the subject. There must be arguments that can establish convergence criteria without resorting to limits or order of magnitude analysis, and I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. Unfortunately it's hard to find any good research material that doesn't include some semblance of mainstream ignorance. Also, I had previously referred to many of your articles on LInkedIn, but it seems that your profile has since been taken down, and the articles with it. There was some really great content on there, and I now regret not backing up the ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKUMXsKHk6g
