1 + 1 = 2 * 0.999…
Error, float detected when int expected
Quantum physicist: Whats the uncertainty?!
Appliance salesperson: oven + pan = hamburger
Terrence Howard : 2 !! Also 1x1=2 !!
Engineer: 2, but 3 to be safe.
The budget is for 1.5, make it work.
Was going to say: 2ish
Wouldn’t they just look up the answer in a table?
Nah not anymore, now you spend a day or so building some convoluted excel calculator once so that you never need to do the calcs again.
Then, 3 years later when you go to add or change something in that calculator, you have absolutely no idea how it works and decide the change wasn’t that important anyway.
ok, I define 1 as {∅} and 2 as {∅, {∅}}
proving the addition holds is slightly more complicated
Now define “+”
+is a map fromN×NtoNwherea + 0 = aanda + S(b) = S(a + b)(Sis the successor function that gives the next number).
Then1 + 1 = 1 + S(0) = S(1 + 0) = S(1) = 2.
I love the comment that it’s “occasionally useful”
Hmm yes… set theory… I don’t understand anything happening here
There is actually a really good explanation for us math-curious non-mathematicians here:
