	As someone who spent three years majoring in mathematics, it is my 
profound displeasure to inform yuo that mathematics is not a black and 
white science.  The very basics of number theory will demonstrate to you 
how true this is.  Try defining '1'.  The deeper you go down that rabbit 
hole, the murkier and greyer it gets, but it is no less fascinating 
because of it.

	In any event, I hope you are having a whole lot of fun in your pursuit 
of the numbers.
