FiskFisk33@startrek.website 4 months ago
ok, I define 1 as {∅} and 2 as {∅, {∅}}
Wilzax@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Now define “+”

+
is a map fromN×N
toN
wherea + 0 = a
anda + S(b) = S(a + b)
(S
is the successor function that gives the next number).
Then1 + 1 = 1 + S(0) = S(1 + 0) = S(1) = 2

I really recommend the YouTube channel “Another Roof”. His first few videos were building up exactly this idea, as well as building up all the real numbers (possibly complex too if I’m remembering correctly). Sounds like a dry topic but he uses humour really well throughout. youtube.com/@anotherroof

1 + 1 is not equal to a question mark.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 months ago
What did 1 minus 1 equal before zero was invented? 🤔
marcos@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, define “zero”.
The one invented on India at around the Middle Age is a different one. The one you are asking about is very old.

I’m surprised the 6 year old knows factorials.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Not only that, it is mathematically correct, at least given the usual definitions of 1, 2, +, and !
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You can’t put an expression on the left-hand-side of the assignment operator.
marcos@lemmy.world 4 months ago
You need more expressive languages.

How would a two year old know factorials?
NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Math isn’t induction. Its deductive logic.

How old this be inductive reasoning?
Surely the philosopher is the one looking for definitions…
