minus-square@MareOfNights@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish38•2 years agoThey are already mad. Have you met mathematicians?
minus-square@shneancy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish14•2 years agoI would also go mad if I had to accept that 83 is a prime number but 1 isn’t
minus-square@shneancy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•2 years agowhat i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people
minus-square@alsimoneau@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish5•2 years agoOh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.
minus-square@shneancy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agopositive or negative nothing 💀 right
minus-square@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoi mean, implicitly it’s just whether you’re approaching zero from positive or negative direction, since we’re working with limits. Like you can shave down a stick however much you want, you can never reach 0 stick by doing so.

Mad linguists are just prescriptivists.
well, not only. There’s also those that try to reconstruct the original language.
