I can prove that 2 = 1

Yeah, you as the jolly woman... it's... just wrong somehow.

Actually, the sky isn't blue. According to -aw forget it I'm too lazy.

I always used to tell my math teachers that I would disprove 1 + 1 = 2 for my college thesis.

I remember one of them gave me a funny look and said, "Um, that's assuming you graduate high school first."

Math and calc are funny things like that. It's like Gabriel's horn, which has an infinite area but yet a finite volume....

Or if you take motion. Before you can go from point a to point b, you need to go halfway... before you can get to that point you need to go to the half way point of the half... because you have an infinite amount of places to go, you can never get where you are trying to go.

I used to know how to make infinity = -2, but then I got a life. OK, not really, I still post here, but I forgot how to make infinity = -2

That's what been claimed from Greek's philosophy: that matters are infinite (you can always divide by two and you have the rest, hence matters are infinite). that's all prior to the atomic theory.
However, the approach of calculus is simply by estimates. And that's how it calculates in your calculator.

How about english?

Jamesave:

I think the Greeks used the example of Archilles racing the tortoise... it went saying that Archilles was a fair man, and that he gave the tortoise a head start. Archilles could run 10 leauges an hour, the tourtoise .1 leagues/hour. Unfortunetly, Archilles could not win the race, because in the timeit would take Archilles to run 5 leauges, the tortoise would have moved .05... then in the time it took Archilles to run half the distance, the tortoise ran again... an infinte loop.

I know there is some way to prove that infinity ends in 1 or 0 or something like that. Does anybody know?

 

[bandXtrb]

<< My prof had a good proof of 0 = 1 lemme see if I can remember it

0 = 0
0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ....
0 = (1-1) + (1-1) + (1-1) + (1-1) +... to infinity
0 = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 .... to infinity
0 = 1 + ( -1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) .... to infinity
0 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 ..... to infinity
0 = 1

Seems like you didn't align the parenthesis properly, there will be a -1 at the end, wherever it does end

Its nice to see that someone else has trouble with math

 

[nullshark]

<also
1 - 1 = H >

ROFL


And 2+2=4, except when very small values of 2 are used.

 

[Mday]

mmmmmmm real analysis... =(

/me kicks analysis in the butt.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Take a refresher course in pre-algebra.

 

[frankqfrank]

2(0) = (0)

a=b so (a-b)=0

 

[LongCoolMother]

<< You know, that's what I've been saying all along. 1 = 2
Took the rest of the world long enough to figure that out.
also
1 - 1 = H >>



lmfao!

 

[UglyCasanova]

What is H?
