New twist on an old repost.

.99999... equals exactly 0!

heh heh heh.

 

[Orsorum]

Boo urns.

 

[imported_Chemist]

Oh.

 

[MrDudeMan]

no...but teh lamers will argue it equals .999... not 0!!! oh noes!!! wtf we must suck at teh calculus even though it is the foundation of advanced math and it says .999... = 1 ahhh

(trying to go along with the madness, im not really this stupid, and for the record, .999... = 1. if you dont believe that, go read a calculus 1 book)

2 + 2 = 5

for large values of two

 

[aplefka]

well, if 1 = .9 (by way of 1/3=.3, 2/3=.6, 3/3=.9) then if .9 = 0, 1 = 0.

0! as in the factorial of 0

Radiohead or random?

1/3!=.3

I think it's true actually. I had only heard of it on Radiohead then I saw it on some math forum. Can anyone shed light on the whole @ + @ = 5 thing?

0! as in the factorial of 0

and, 0! = 1

I actually have a shirt that I wear occasionally on dress-down fridays that says "2 + 2 = 5 For very large values of 2"

It'd have been better if the back of the shirt also said "and small values of 5"

 

[aplefka]

I'm only in Algebra 2, and I just started it. I don't know the whole 0! thing, only that =! means is not (or I think it does).

It does if you only have 1 sig fig.

Sig figs exist in higher math too? I thought it was only in chemistry and I figured I'd be done with it now that I'm done with chem.

An intelligent post in this quagmire of idiocy. I salute you.

Sig Figs generally do not apply to mathematics.

It means factorial.

n!=1*2*3*4*...*(n-1)*n

So 4!=1*2*3*4=24

And 0! =1 by definition

(1/3)! = Gamma(1/3)
