Sort of a fun question, I think. Or perhaps silly. I was just thinking about all the different things in mathematics that happen to equal one. Such as
(sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 = 1
in probability P(s) = 1
The radius of a unit circle: x^2 + y^2 = 1
Obviously I don't mean things like 3-2.
Since "Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other." any of these things, regardless of the branch of mathematics they are part of, would be equal to each other.
So then P(s) = (sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2
I have no idea what that would actually mean, of course. But it's interesting (to me) to think about.
What else?
