Prompt (Dr. James Stewart is the author of Calculus: Single Variable Calculus with Early Transcendentals (8th Edition). The following problem was borrowed from an earlier version of his work.) There is a bit of trivia about the author of the aforementioned textbook, Dr. James Stewart, that few people know. He has an evil twin sister named Shasta. Although he loves his sister dearly, she dislikes him and tries to be different from him in all things. Last winter, they both went on vacation. Dr. Stewart went to Hawaii. Shasta had planned on going to Aruba, but she decided against it. She hates her brother so much that she was afraid there would be a chance that they might be experiencing the same temperature at the same time, and that prospect was distasteful to her. So she decided to vacation in northern Alaska. After a few days, Dr. Stewart received a call: "This is Shasta. I am cold and uncomfortable here. That's good, since you are undoubtedly warm and comfortable, and I want us to be…

John Wallis and other 17th century mathematicians were struggling with how to fit negative numbers into arithmetic without introducing inconsistencies. Explain the reasoning leading to Wallis's paradoxical claim that, if negative numbers are less than zero, they must be greater than infinity. Wallis's argument depends, in part, on the assertion that (3/-1) = -3. Must this be true? Why or why not? If a student proposed Wallis's argument, how would you respond?
