Hmm, have you ever asked yourself a simple question "why"? Definitely we can, and we do, for centuries (since Leonard Euler's time). However, if you p...
This doesn't exist, because there's no limit for the sequence 10, 100, 1000, ... (That is, the sequence {10^n}). If you take, e.g., 1.1 instead of 10 ...
It is not a proof at all, there's no theorem here. This is standard and well-known technique to convert a periodic decimal fraction back to rational f...
No, you're not getting the point. There's no need for any "infinite sum", schoolchildren don't learn such complicated math that early. I don't really ...
As far as I remember, there were multiple attempts to build such a system, and they failed. There's a simple reason for it. The same amount of effort ...
Folks, I'm a bit surprised with all the discussion. I even wanted to show that 0.(9) is the same as 1 several ways (okay, the number as such is the sa...
"Numbers are symbols that are only useful and meaningful when applied to real world situations." That's true for physics. That's even true for the so-...
