Here's a visual demonstration that there are only finitely many numbers on a finite computer. If you zoom in far enough you can see them, so y=x is actually a step function up really close: desmos.com/calculator/lhiqmv…

In mathematics, an elliptic curve is a plane algebraic curve defined by an equation of the form y² = x³ + ax + b that is non-singular; that is, it has no cusps or self-intersections. This is the case for b = 1 buff.ly/2jGGYPu
