  > Look around
  The normally-impressive great hall, with its wood paneling and Tudor-style interior, is in a state of disarray in the wake of Berkeley's lecture. A podium stands at the front of the room. The great court lies to the east.
  
  In his haste to flee the crowd of angry mathematicians, Berkeley has left his lecture notes on the podium.
  
  > look at the notes
  These are Berkeley's notes describing what he considers to be serious logical flaws in the theoretical foundation of calculus. The notes are rather extensive, but the details of his attack on the fluxion of x^2 catch your eye.
  
  "Newton says that the fluxion, or derivative, of x^2 is to be calculated like so: Adding the infinitely small quantity o to
  x causes x^2 to become (x+o)^2. Then
  (x+o)^2 expands to x^2 + 2ox + o^2.
  Subtracting x^2 from the expansion of (x+o)^2 gives
  us 2ox + o^2.
  
  "The next step in the procedure is to divide by the infinitely small quantity o, producing 2x + o. Newton says now that since o
  is infinitely small we can ignore it. This means that the fluxion of x^2 is 2x.
  
  "However, is the 'infinitely small quantity' denoted 'o' equal to zero or not? If it is zero, then we cannot divide by it, since there is no meaning to dividing by zero. If it is not zero, then we cannot ignore it in the last step, and so the fluxion of x^2 cannot be
  2x.
  
  "You cannot have it both ways: Either o is equal to zero or it is not!"

  (in your math book)
  Along with John Locke and David Hume, Bishop George Berkeley is considered part of the trio of great British empirical philosophers of the 17th and 18th centuries. His major contribution to mathematics was his critique of the logical foundations of calculus. This critique helped inspire mathematicians to look more closely at what they meant by the "infinitesimally small" quantities used in calculus, ultimately leading to a precise definition of the limit concept. Incidentally, the main campus of the University of California and the surrounding city are named for him.
  
  > look up the limit
  (in your math book)
  The limit is one of the most important concepts in mathematics.
  Limits allow us to define exactly what we mean by concepts like "arbitrarily large" and "infinitesimally small."
  
  Limits had been used implicitly in calculus since the time of Newton and Leibniz, but it was not until over 150 years later that the definition of a limit was made precise by Weierstrass, thereby placing calculus on a more solid theoretical foundation. Limits are also used to make sense of sequences and infinite series. Some argue that limits resolve Zeno's paradoxes.
  
  > examine the podium
  This podium is made of the same wood as the paneling you see around the room.
  
  > look at the paneling
  It's quite beautiful. Nothing at your university looks looks like this room.
  
  > go east
  You make your way east through the fog. As you do, you feel an electrical impulse course through you. You find yourself in...
  
  The floor and ceiling of this room are black, while the walls feature eerie, pulsating, dark blue neon lights. An exit leads west.
  
  A sleek laser bike is parked in the center of the room.
  
  Someone has left a crudely-drawn comic on the floor.
  
  > Examine comic
  The comic consists simply of two pictures: A man singing Christmas carols and a man wearing an old Houston football jersey. The Yuler has a large red X next to him, while the Oiler sports a large green check mark.
  
  > get it
  (putting the square root into the set to make room)
  Taken.
  
  > look at the bike
  Built for speed, this laser bike pulses with the same dark blue neon light as the rest of the room.
  
  > Ride bike
  You mount the laser bike. A door slides open in the east wall, and, without warning, the laser bike shoots through it!
  
  You briefly catch a glimpse of a grid laid out before you, with intersection points, lines connecting them, and several ramps scattered throughout the intersections. A mechanical voice intones, "Starting new game. Illuminate all grid lines. Intersections will not be illuminated. One ramp jump allowed."
  
  Then the bike launches into space, coming down in...
  
  Intersection (on the laser bike)
  You are riding a laser bike, traveling rapidly east through an intersection. Dark blue neon walls surround the intersection, but there are grid lines that lead northeast, south, southeast, and east.
  
  > go to the south
  You give the laser bike a sharp turn south, and it speeds through the grid line to the south. The bike leaves a laser beam of light in its wake.
  
  Intersection (on the laser bike)
  You are riding a laser bike, traveling rapidly south through an intersection. Dark blue neon walls surround the intersection, but there are grid lines that lead north and east.
  
  However, the grid line to the north is lit up by a beam of light.
  
  There is also a ramp to the northeast.
  
  > go to the east
  You give the laser bike a sharp turn east, and it speeds through the grid line to the east. The bike leaves a laser beam of light in its wake.
  
  Intersection (on the laser bike)
  You are riding a laser bike, traveling rapidly east through an intersection. Dark blue neon walls surround the intersection, but there are grid lines that lead north, northwest, east, and west.
  
  However, the grid line to the west is lit up by a beam of light.
  
  There is also a ramp to the northeast.
  
  > go east
  You keep going east, and the laser bike speeds through the grid line to the east. The bike leaves a laser beam of light in its wake.
