I don't care about pokoko's post in this instance, what I care about is mathematics ...

It's your loss for not accepting the facts or the proofs ...

I accept them. For practial reasons (no such thing as infinity in the real world), mainly because it doesnt ever make a differnce (afaik).

This intire thead is a non issue imo.

 

I still think its bad math.

It's not bad math. It's simple math. 1 - 0,(9 periodic) = 0 periodic +1/infinity = 0.

 

The proof shown in the first thread is a fully legitmate way of treating infinite quantities. (look at previous posts I made.)

The nice thing about math is, no one gives a shit about your (or my) opinion on the matter. There is no matter more clear-cut.
