A short sampling of crank mathematical beliefs.

Accepted value of pi is wrong
Cantor's set theory is wrong
- Infinite sets do not exist
- Potentially infinite sets exist, but actually infinite sets do not
- All infinite sets are the same "size"
- Infinite sets are "unbounded" but finite
- Transfinite numbers do not exist
Set theory (ZFC) is inconsistent
Division by zero (^x/₀) is well-defined
Infinity is an arithmetic number
Circle squarers
Angle trisectors
