Important Math Question

[Fyron]

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.

what?

[Fyron]

Do you know anything about calculus? What limits and derivatives are?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

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

[Fyron]

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

This thread has an "astronomical" number of many weird incorrect statements in it.

What kind of new math is this?

So nothing exsisted before the universe? If that is true, then the universe could not have been formed. Zero + any number is still zero. But 1 + any number and you have a new number.

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.

that was implied.

anyway, thanks. i don't think i'll try working my way through it till saturday, i'm tired, my brain is tired and my feet and my back are trying to kill me. i'm currently trying to pacify them by sitting down and not moving much.
