Hey, that's my job!

Also I don't think that's technically the technical classification. I think that sidedness is an attribute that simply doesnt apply to curves.
You can approximate curves with some number of sides, and the approximation gets more accurate as the number approaches infinity, but it doesn't actually have the infinite sides.

Very cool! I'm always happy to learn something new!

I mean, I'm just pedantic; double check with a mathematician, to be sure lol

I'm genuinely curious, what is your job that requires arithmetic?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like most jobs require arithmetic.
But it is not my career to be a pedant, just my role in life 😜
