0 + 2 = 2
You forget some important math there Atrocities?
0 * any number = 0

what's L'hopital's? rule?

When you have the limit of a function a/b (where a and b are functions of the same variable, such as x) that is of the form 0/0, inf/inf, or inf/0, you can find the limit with d(a) / d(b). That is, the derivative of a divided by the derivative of b (not the derivative of a/b!).

now think about the fact that both infinite halves would be smaller than the whole...

And yet both still infinite.

Re: Important Math Question
Do you know anything about calculus? What limits and derivatives are?

Re: Important Math Question
well, i know what they are if your not talking about math. but math terms tend to have their own reality.

Re: Important Math Question
That are strictly based on "normal" reality, and vice versa... try googling for some intro to calculus site if you want to learn more.

Re: Important Math Question
This thread has an "astronomical" number of many weird incorrect statements in it. 
What kind of new math is this?

Dude, 0 + 1 = 1.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't notice this had been pointed out so many times before. There are a bunch of similar logic leaps earier, but uff, I should be programming.
