Graham's Number.

[Rughugger]

I think infinity / 0 should be something other than undefined. It should be...forget I lost my train of thought.

Blame the Christians.

Can't. blame Einstein, he was the math whiz who more than likely came up with the concept in the first place. Uz Kreestenz iz tew dum tew maekez teh mayuths. /Sarcasm

I was also being sarcastic with my "blame the Christians" comment. It was a play on my opinions of religion.

As was I being sarcastic in my retort. I'll have to make the /sarcasm bigger next time.

and what don't you understand? 69^69^69 > 3^3^3

you can't read

[GhostOfBetaTapes]

in a division table, anything divided by 0 would be both negative infinity and positive infinity all at once.
:D That's pretty big

[Sirrus]

Also, people, infinity is not a number. It is a concept. You can't use infinity in an operation. For example, Infinity+1 is still infinity. Infinity^2 is infinity. Infinity^infinity is infinity.

I don't get why Graham's Number is so special. Anyone can say I invented a big number.

Its the upper bound in a VERY complex problem.
Google it.

[Molasses]

∞^∞ / 0.

[Korabar]

I declare Graham's Number + 1 !
I just won?  Oh, no!?
Ok, here we go!

Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number ^ Graham's Number + 666.

I win now?

[Sirrus]

Yeah, but what use is that? Like WhatevaGuy said, and this is true, Graham's number is the upper bound in a complex mathematical problem. You just made a grotesquely large number.

[Niliscro]

Well, I'm off to count all of the atoms in our universe.
See you in eternity, guys.

∞/0^0=1


EDIT:stuff I just got a letter from Dr Math about this question.

Hi,

Thanks for writing to Dr. Math.

There's not much of a controversy.  Division by zero is not defined.
Period.

So, it's not even correct to say that 1/0 = undefined.

"Undefined" is not some special math term.  It's the English word
literally meaning something that has no definition.

So, we have no definition for the result of a division by zero. That's
it.

Further, infinity is NOT a number.  So, it cannot be the case that the
result of any arithmetic operation is infinity.  It's rather like 1+1
= happy.  Happy is not a number, so this statement makes no sense.

So, (1/0)^0 has no defined value, because 1/0 has no defined value.
