It's all about the mathjamins

Let's discuss math here, in a civil way.

Sebastian, none of your greasy-handed, fat-bellied, food-particle-spraying, insecure shenanigans, please.

(x + 1)(x - 1) = x^2 - 1

(x + 1)(x - 1) = x^2 - 1

Rule: X/0=/X

(((((X+1)(X-1))+1)/X^2)-1)=0
Sqrt(((x + 1)(x - 1))-1)=X

(Sqrt(((x + 1)(x - 1))-1))/(((((X+1)(X-1))+1)/X^2)-1)=/X A number set unrelated to X except at Superposition.

n + (-n) = 0

n + 0 = n

+ (-n) = - n

n + m - m = n

ok?

so, what does negative zero equal:

-0 = ???

Math is logic. Now, whether it's reason . . .

210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7

[Gark the Goblin]

Base 210 is better than sexagesimal because it doesn't have two wasteful twos.

Also, a system of numerals where 1 (decimal) = 1, 2 = 2, 12 or 21 = 3, 3 = 4, 13 or 31 = 5, 23 or 32 = 6, 123 or 132 or 213 or 231 or 312 or 321 = 7, etc. to infinity is cool. (where 1 stands for a line or curve, and 2 stands for a different line or curve, and they are overlaid on each other)
