I thought you understood what apples/human meant? Didnt you claim that you were in error earlier? You are trying to give half a person 8 apples, and you are claiming he gets 16. You are treating half a person as a singular entity, so the units are apples/(half human). This would still give you 8 since there is only ONE HALF PERSON.

Yes. I did not see the mathematical answer, because it is in a different context than my question :smile: I did not see, that math says, if you give 8 apples to half a person, one whole person will get 16.
But nevertheless, that IS where math leaves reality, definitively :lol:
I would like to explore that fact a little bit more, because it really can get to a problem in some security-relevant systems, like avionics. If some not preprogrammed environmental or occasional exception will get you in a situation, where 'linear' maths 'goes wild', your flight computer will perhaps say, you will need 16 tons of fuel, but you have only 8 on board :wink: And that would be only some harmless case.

Yea all those times when the plane has half a tank on board... But please explore whatever you wish. Take a 'real analysis' class, it will answer a lot of your questions. Then try your hand at a 'complex analysis' class, be prepared to never trust math again though.

Wrote my A grade in analysis, linear algebra, statistics and infinitisimals (17 years ago :wink:). Learned complex numbers as well. Studied 2 semesters of informatics with second course math (at university)... I send you a copy of my certificates, if you wish.
be prepared to never trust math again though
So we are finally on the same page, even these phenomenas start to happen much earlier :wink:

Ha so you took some quarters of calculus? Real and Complex analysis are much much different than a basic calculus course. You can phrase it as impressive sounding as you want with words like 'infinitisimals' I know what youve studied. And what kind of linear algebra class, an intro to linear algebra lower division class?

DieCommie:only possibly to thecow and only private.

Man, that was over 17 years ago. Quarters of calculus ?
I think the linear algebra was about matrix-calculus with vectors. You may remember that I am from Germany, so my grades are a bit different than yours and the school system also is a bit different, also I often am lazy with the english language, perhaps that is where your assumtions stem from ?? I simply shortened 'infinitesimal calculus' into 'infinitesimals'...

So, kid, even if it does nothing to the thread: You say, you know what I have studied ? With every of your post I doubt you more. What do you have learned about math, if you know this sooooo good ?

Well Ive taken and am still taking math classes.  So far Ive taken about 3 years of math classes on and off, some from the math department, some from the physics department, and some from the electrical engineering department.  Im not hear to :whatever: all over this thread, as Im still an undergrad and thus dont feel Im very knowledgeable about math, but I at least know division.  This is why I cant imagine youve taken anything more than a basic calculus class.

Then you did not understand, why I took this example. Just because it is so simple and if you will follow its logic, you will come to astonishing results.
Perhaps it is not legitime to use a denominator smaller than 1 in this example of context, because it blows up the presettings and wanders off into fantastic assumptions ? :grin:
Ok ok, I will be quiet now (and perhaps think of another example) :wink:

[edit to the hard boiled ones: Interestingly this example gets right again if the denominator becomes zero. Then it says, that it can not assume how many apples one human has, if I have no example of a human with my apples here {Oops, isn't that, what the original poster did want to know almost 3 years ago ?} :lol:]

:peace:

I understand why you thought it didnt work, and I also understand your error. But please think of another example.

Now, we'll take the wild ride :wink:
Interestingly this example gets right again if the denominator becomes zero. Then it says, that it can not assume how many apples one human has, if I have no example of a human with my apples here {Oops, isn't that, what the original poster did want to know almost 3 years ago ?}
And youwanna  know why this example gets right with a denominator being zero ?
It's because if someone will find an apple with an atom of a human on it, he would have to assume, that the earth is covered with at least 3000 meters of apples....per human, of course :lol:
Now, someone wanna follow me into the negatives humans to apples reality ? :rofl2:
(sorry, couldn't resist)

Wait so your new example, is that you just reduce the fraction. How is that new?

I am sorry, I am still with the old example. The original starter of this thread (wherever he is now :wink:) has brought up this example. So I used my best shit now, to make it clear, how x/0 is real in reality :lol:

(For considerations about a new example, you may also relay to my not answered thread  1 + 1 = much more  here :lol:)

And what does that thread say that is of any importance to this topic. Play with your metaphysics, leave the science to the adults.

Light sharing on knowledge for the better usage of (mathematical) concepts in an existence- and reality-comforming way ?!
