Yeah, it's a bad idea to feed the trolls. But the bat-shit craziness of your latest bowel movement is just too crazy.

There is nothing unusual about the historic algebra system I use. as widely used before the 1960's. it was the standard maths system used after the previous Roman numeral system.
That was like listening to
Trump running in full brain-dead mode. What are you even talking about?
Earlier, you talked about using a different form of math from standard mathematics, such that we would need to use
your different math in order to get the same results as you do and which would be very different from what we would get using the normal math
that the rest of the world uses all the time. And, of course, you refused to tell us anything about your very different math, so how could we possibly use it as you have directed us to do?
BTW, my first algebra class was in 1964, but I had already taught myself the fundamentals of algebra a few years earlier by reading my sister's textbook. I do not see how algebra had changed as radically as you claim that it did, so could you please explain
how it had changed? No, of course you won't.

It was found a tad difficult to do algebra in Roman, so a system designed around 1 to 10 numerals came into use.
Forget algebra, what about
arithmetic in Roman numerals?
Actually, I have worked out addition and subtraction in Roman numerals; it's actually quite simple once you work around the shortcut notation. Multiplication is more difficult until you follow the advice I've found to use binary multiplication, also known as
Russian Peasant Multiplication, math that had been known since ancient Egypt.
But that's not how Romans did arithmetic. Rather, they used the abacus.
But we got algebra from the Arabs (part of what had sparked the Renaissance), who had themselves gotten it from ancient sources as well as from India. Part of that package was the decimal system
which they had gotten from India. Here you are trying to claim that the decimal system is something new that we have no knowledge of,
and yet we have been raised in and worked in the decimal system for our entire lives QUITE LITERALLY FOR CENTURIES NOW.
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot-
Mike! You're trying to tell us that we are unaware of the
decimal system? You are a complete loon! You are what Robin Williams called "full-blown
Bozo!"
Complete and utter insanity!

Einstein did not or would want to use the crazy SI system of today, where basic errors (either accidental or made by cheating) occur, often going unnoticed.
What is your stupid paranoia about the SI system (AKA "metric system")? It's a good system and very easy and direct to work with. Furthermore, it does not matter one whit what system of measurements is used,
just so long as everyone uses that same system. Same as with which side of the road to drive on (another obsession of yours); it doesn't matter
just so long as everyone abides by the same standard.
