1200 Yr Old Mathematics Problem Solved By a Professor at My Uni!

For all those who thought that you can't divide by 0 ... amazing if u ask me..

but critics are obviously only too keen to criticize if you ask me... pretty pathetic some of their remarks..

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!

thank you JonnybravoM3 for the nice topic

"undefined" is what we like to call it in real world
and renaming it is not a solution

He is most likely to be a Jaberiya Graduate :D

Congrats bro. something to truely be proud of :)

[ZOSicK]

impressive and interesting :up2:

[f won]

Damn. I even understand some of that, thanks for the info... :)

:tmi: and it's pretty good to know new information in math every now and then!

But there's a point that I dont agree with him in, isn't anything power 0 is 1!?

How come he got this number?

[Striker]

Very interesting.

But, to sum things up in my sayings. He added a new term just like the term "Lim" has been made as well as "sine" "cosine" and "tan". Nullity doesn't make much sense for me. His finding fights back the common sense or the only left common sense in mathematics. 0/0 does have a value to his saying. So, what is 5/0 or any other value or number.

It is an interesting finding and I would like to learn more about it but it is a bit confusing at first. It's like, he has found a parallel universe to ours with different sort of numbers?!!? and what the earlier scientist has made to make maths and physics relate to each other is all screwed up.

But there is an issue in maths and physics concerning the "lim" it's BULLSHIIT! It's senseless in maths and is senseful in physics. Maths has always been made on senseless issues. But this finding defines the senseless matters and mixes up your brain cuz what you've learned earlier would definately mean that it was "WRONG".

Akeed I agree with you.. This is however merely a mathematical "theory" and so i doubt that it is final by any means... It sure looks like he's on to something tho - It should be interesting to see how this develops overtime...:apple:

[Striker]

Yup, exactly my point. Best of luck to Dr.Anderson to REmake Mathematics :p or add another part to make his theory not contradict with the known Maths.

[ADM]

I think this is all bollocks, cuz 0 is a non-existant number. It is just a gap between negative and positive. So, how do u devide upon something that doesnt exist?
