The problem is that you learned math in a math class instead of in a poetry classOriginally posted by gribbler View PostWow, I guess I was educated stupid
I honestly can't tell if Vanguard is trolling or retarded - either way, it's not worth worrying aboutLast edited by loinburger; February 26, 2012, 14:18.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Does 1.00000 recurring equal 1?One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Nope, because 1.0-repeating minus 1 doesn't equal 0, it equals 0.0-repeating<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

Makes sense. 0.0-repeating has a hidden infinity (don't ask me where it is, if I knew where it was it wouldn't be hidden) so dividing 1 by 1.0 is like dividing 1 by infinity.Originally posted by loinburger View PostComment

Any system that represents .999 repeating should confirm that it is equal to 1.Originally posted by Asher View PostComment

Also, to answer your question, Mathematica.
Code:Sum[9/10^k, {k, 1, Infinity}]==1 TrueComment

People have already shown Wolfram Alpha (i.e., mathematica) does.
I don't consider mathematica a programming language. It's a software program."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Tough. Every single language with a symbolic math package strong enough to represent .999 repeated will confirm that it is equal to 1.Originally posted by Asher View PostComment

Yes, and if you add up the number of real-world applications that use such languages you'd probably get a list of two or three."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Doesn't Java have a symbolic math package?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Language != Framework.
And no, as far as I know there's no official one."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Look, since we agree that .999... = 1, we can either:
a.Call the proposition 'Proven'
or
b. We can say that the proposition is 'Defined to be True'
Why should I prefer 'a' (proven) to 'b' (defined) when the proofs provided introduce serious unsolved problems of logicVANGUARDComment
