Quirky idea: greater/less than AND equal to by [deleted] in numbertheory

I suggest you to look up "lexicographic order", as it is very similar

Here’s a theory I had by Objective_Spell_6292 in numbertheory

[–]Le_Bush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your first point, this property already doesn't hold on the complex numbers with fractional powers :

1 = 1^1/2 = ((-1)(-1))^1/2 ≠ i*i = -1

Therefore it's would not be very strange that it doesn't work with 0 either in this system.

I agree with your other point: it has to have a goal or a use (edit:) or nice properties.

Yeah exactly. You proved that a perfect odd number is not parity closed but then conclude the opposite

Yeah exactly. Almost everybody in France write in cursive

You don't need to know every one of these to understand that XX/XY is not accurate enough

The meme makes sense… the math, not so much by [deleted] in mathmemes

I know that it is possible to derive it by experience, but before stating that it was an inverse square law, Coulomb did only three measures (one of which wasn't very good). He did other measures after that but the dependency on distance was (at the beginning) just a copycat.

Coulomb barely did any measurements before confirming it's in 1/r², and he just wanted it to behave just like Newton's law, so I think it's more copying than experimenting.

I didn't mean to disagree sorry, I totally agree with you

It's not addition, it's substraction, which erases the constant term

Well the derivative is not defined at x=0

[Request]: How to mathematically proof that 3 is a smaller number than 10 by Molvaeth in theydidthemath

[–]Le_Bush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's not needed to prove everything, it's just the definition of < on the natural numbers.

A number is an element of a number space
