Comment on Zero to hero

• doctordevice@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  My experience (bachelor’s in math and physics, but I went into physics) is that if you want to be clear about including zero or not you add a subscript to specify. For non-negative integers you add a subscript zero (N_0). For strictly positive natural numbers you can either do N_1 or N^(+).

  I hate those guys. I had one prof at uni and he reinvented every possible symbol and everything was so his own. It was a pain in the ass to learn from external material.

  they’ll probably make up their own symbology just because it’s slightly more convenient for their proof

  I feel so thoroughly called out RN.

  From what i understand, you can pay iso to standardise anything. So it’s only useful for interoperability.

    Can I pay them to make my dick length the ISO standard?

      I feel they have an image to maintain, but i also feel they would sell out for enough money. So… tell me if you make it.

    Yeah, interoperability. Like every software implementation of natural numbers that include 0.

      How programmers utilize something doesn’t mean it’s the mathematical standard, idk why ISO would be a reference for this at all

        Because ISO is the International Organisation for Standardization
