Dividing by Zero is Dumb

But I think it's stupid how people laugh because I am getting an education and going to be someone in life.

 

 

It's fucking hilarious.

 

 

 

Actually I was laughing because high school classes (including AP) are a fucking joke compared to college, but whatever.

x / 0 = infinity, holla

 

i like maff.

 

I don't agree. You cannot divide by zero. Zero is a place holder for nothing. This is the failing point. Zero is given the status of a number when really it's a placeholder for a lack of numbers. You cannot divide something into nothing parts. It should not be infinity, but rather unsolvable. Math, being about numbers, should not be affected by semiotics, but it is.

 

Also I propose we come up with a new way to represent 100, or anything with a zero in it, to separate it from the zero that means "nothing".

 

My suggestion is old style numbers for numerals (e.x. "1oo") and lining for zero (plain old "0").
