Mathematics is shit

Just look at these ugly swatches of code:

That is what you get, when programming immitates math. Even Java and PHP looks beautiful compared to that. Mathematics should be banned as a harmful and obfuscated teaching.

The natural numbers are countably infinite but also unbounded given a metric that makes geometrical sense when used on the real numbers. There is no sense in talking about boundedness without a metric, I think you could easily construct a metric in which an open ball of radius 1+epsilon centered on any natural number would extend to every other natural number for every epsilon > 0 and so the set would be bounded with respect to that metric.
