That makes sense when the value you're putting to the power of 0 actually is a value. 0 has no value. So what you're saying is, I have zero apples and I take my zero apples and power the amount of apples I have by 0. Suddenly 1 appears out of thin air?
Sorry, I can't except that as a logical answer. |
Its 1 due to the laws of indice, it has no place in terms of real powers... I mean when could you ever power an apple by another apple anyways? :wtf:
You have to think of this on a graph. |

Fair point. I guess I'm just thinking of 0 as being the representation of nothingness in terms of real world value. So that's probably why I'm having a nose bleed trying to wrap my head around this, lol.

According to quite a few sources. Though others say this isn't the case... I'm leaning towards the nay-sayers myself. |

| What an interesting subject. The link that Joss posted is great, it looks at it from a calculus perspective, testing limits of trig functions that approach zero and find out if they're both zero, what happens. Math is crazy , I averaged B's all semester in linear algebra, it's kinda cool how you can solve Differential Equations just by throwing it into a matrix and doing some row operations and simple algebra to solve it. |

I should really learn math... I failed it all through high school. :( Then again you'd fail it too if the normal level math classes involved chapter long story problems about the Oregon Trail and you learned more history than math... :nervous: |
