“Sorry, I wasn’t taught the negative multiplication table”
I never knew Yoda was such an accomplished mathematician…
Don’t be so positive.
My group theory teacher:
“Always two, there are [except in the degenerate case where
a = 0].”What are you, IEEE floating point? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754
Edit: actually read the negative zero article and saw IEEE floating point mentioned… kinda kills the joke
“Minus zero” redirects here; not to be confused with Godzilla Minus Zero.
Well thanks Wikipedia!
You dare speak of the degeneracy!? 🤪
You just spoke the “|” in “|X| = 3” silent.
That additionally would imply an uncountably infinite set of complex solutions.
Why assume the solution is in the complex numbers, and not in
- the real numbers (2 solutions)
- the algebraic numbers (countably many)
- the natural numbers (1 solution)
- the complex surreal numbers (proper-class many)
Gotta use some context to interpret these things :)
It’s so unnatural…
Another, there is*
