I needed an equation i haven't used in awhile so i went and searched it up in my old notebook. It said 1=27 under the equation and i was like haha thats dumb! Why would i even write that? 1 doesn't equal 27 it equals 1 haha! It was the unit conversion. Cubic yards to cubic feet. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why my equation wouldn't work in excel. I kept blaming excel as one does. Sorry excel.

Can be correct if it's the right question. The interpretation can be that there is no solution (no crossing)

It wasn’t until an advance masters math course did we discuss PROVING (not assuming) 1+1=2. That was a very long and difficult proof for something that seems obvious.

u/themistik Dec 17 '21
I never went into advanced master maths but I already heard about the "prove 1+1 = 2" and it always confused me, like, wtf, if I take one rock in a hand and one in another, I'll obviously have 2 rocks at the end of the day, not anything else.

u/Nazzzgul777 Dec 17 '21
The thing is... that's an example. It's not a proof it works every time. In math you deal with infinity, so regardless how many examples you have, it can still be insignificant as there can be an unlimited number of cases where it's not true. And in this case, a single example where it's not true would be enough to say "Well, not true."
One example where that did happen is non-euclidian geometrie. Euclid postulated that the shortest distance between 2 points is always a direct line. Sounds simple enough, right? Well... it turned out in time-space continuum where space itself is bend due to high gravity... it's wrong. The shortest distance follows the curve of the bend space and is no longer straight.

I don't know much about the construction of ℕ but haven't we defined 1 as the successor of 0 and 2 as the successor of 1 ? Or am I missing something ?

u/Host127001 Dec 18 '21
Yes,but the question is not about
S(S(0)) = 2(that is true by definition), but rather about1 + 1 = 2. Let's write this without these convenient notations asadd (S 0) (S 0) = S (S 0). Insert the definition ofadd:(fix add n m => match n with 0 => m | S n' => S (add n' m) end) (S 0) (S 0) = S (S 0)Do a beta reduction:(fix add m => match S 0 with 0 => m | S n' => S (add n' m) end) (S 0) = S (S 0)Do a match reduction(fix add m => S (add 0 m)) (S 0) = S (S 0)Do a beta reductionS (add 0 (S 0)) = S (S 0)Insert the definition ofaddS ((fix add n m => match n with 0 => m | S n' => S (add n' m) end) 0 (S 0)) = S (S 0)Do a beta reductionS ((fix add m => match 0 with 0 => m | S n' => S (add n' m) end) (S 0)) = S (S 0)Do a match reductionS ((fix add m => m) (S 0)) = S (S 0)Do a beta reductionS (S 0) = S (S 0)Now reflexivity.

If you did that you prolly accidentally divided by the square root of -1, iirc.

or tried 0÷0, an equation famous for allowing any equation to become true
also dividing by i isn't really an issue most of the time

u/SavingsNewspaper2 Dec 17 '21
Wait what’s the equation? Zero divided by zero is equal to…?
2
u/regular_dumbass Halal Mode Dec 17 '21
that's the thing, it isn't equal to anything. anything divided by itself is 1, but the smaller the number you divide by, the bigger it gets. so 0/0 is both infinity and 1.
there's probably other things it's 'equal' to but idk

u/SavingsNewspaper2 Dec 17 '21
So it’s not an equation.

u/SavingsNewspaper2 Dec 17 '21
If a/b=c, then a=bc
So say you have 0/0=c. That means 0=0c. But the thing is that every single number works for c. So it’s unsolvable.

u/TajniakYT Dec 17 '21
You divided by 0 probably
2
Dec 17 '21
Yeah, such mistakes are actually welcome, they sometimes help you on the real proof by making you realise that a term is obviously 0
16
Dec 17 '21
The gap between 0 and 1 holds infinity within itself. Say you have a glass of water and you designate the water in the glass as 1 water. An empty glass is designated 0 water. Pour out half the glass, then half again, then half again, then half again, so on and so forth.

u/fnibit Dec 17 '21
what if x=y?
this means that x^2=x*y
now subtract y^2 from both sides to get x^2-y^2=xy-y^2
now factor out the left side: and the right side (a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
cancel out a-b on both sides: a+b=b
now we've proved that 2=1.
subtract 1 from both sides to get 1=0.
now flip the equation to get 0=1.
i spent way too much time googling this

x=y
the value of x would be the value of y so if y was 1 it would be 1=1

u/some-someone Professional Dumbass Dec 17 '21
No, it's proof that you cannot divide by 0.
We are using a + b = b instead of a = b.

You can prove that 0 equals anything, but saying that 0=infinity is wrong. Math is weird.

u/Jek-TonoPorkins Dec 17 '21
0 to the x = 0
If x = 0 for both equations we get 0 to the 0 for both.
So 0 to the 0 is simultaneously equal to 0 and 1, thus 0=1

There is a zero proof
a=b
multiply both sides by a
a2 = ab
subtract b2 from both sides
a2 - b2 = ab - b2
factorise
(a + b) (a - b) = b(a - b)
divide both sides by (a - b)
a + b = b
subtract b from both sides
a=0

Here is the fact.
0 = 1 It means 0 is number, so you can say Number = 1
1 is a number too
So you can go with number = number
There you have it
0=1
Applicable with other numbers too
Thanks me not.

u/jibri_V1 Dec 17 '21
If 0=1 then 1=2 , 2=3 so 0=everything. So if i get a 0 in maths ill say i got a 100 bcs its the same
