Let Sylas do his own work. I quite agree he's got the best handle on it - but what did you really just contribute other than snideness?

Do you, perhaps, have the patience to watch a really entertaining 10 minute video on the subject?Originally posted by Teallaura View Post

Right now, I'm irritated. I won't watch it now - but I will tomorrow when I can give it a fair reading.Originally posted by Boxing Pythagoras View PostDo you, perhaps, have the patience to watch a really entertaining 10 minute video on the subject?
Zym's proof looks funky to me - and that's purely because I'm annoyed. When I calm down, it'll probably make sense. Math and answering letters are two things I don't do when irritable.
Thank you - I will look at it tomorrow and I do appreciate the help."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

That's just further confirmation of my suspicions that mathematics is a branch of black magic.Originally posted by Zymologist View Post

Because the limit of any finite number divided by n as n approaches zero does not converge.Originally posted by Paprika View Post"[Mathematics] is the revealer of every genuine truth, for it knows every hidden secret, and bears the key to every subtlety of letters; whoever, then, has the effrontery to pursue physics while neglecting mathematics should know from the start he will never make his entry through the portals of wisdom."

If the concept of limit can be used to extend addition to infinite sums (to yield divergent limits in some cases), why can't it extend division to dividing by zero (to yield a divergent limit)?Originally posted by Boxing Pythagoras View PostComment

Also the limit for 1/x as x goes towards zero depends on how you're approaching zero. If you're approaching along the real line, its either plus or minus infinity, depending on whether you approach from the positive or negative side.Comment
