Thanks for the tip zurtex. I think i'll follow it :smile: Hey I think you've heard this one before but here it is anyway... Descartes went to a bar. The bartender asked him if he wanted some beer to which Rene answered, Rene - I don't think.. (and he disappeared) P.S. :devil: I love...

I agree with you Integral. But I don't care if it's new or old. I just want to enjoy mathematics :devil:. What I wanted to understand was the development of completely new ideas in mathematics?

well, ok :approve: This much will be enough for now! zurtex, can you tell me something about inventing new operators (and about fitting it into the already vast mathematics. or will it blend in magically?)? :-p What branches of mathematics should I study for these sort of stuffs?

I heard that Vector not only simplified writing forumla but also led to other stuffs that wasn't obvious before. Was it the case with multiplication too? It came to rescue addition and led to other things?? Is there any proof in mathematics which shows that (x) can be expressed in terms of...

Gokul, if this "number of times" isn't a whole number as is the case here what should be done? chronon, i'll reply to u later!

oooppsss, :bugeye: 5^10= (((((((((5*5)*5)*5)...) 5*5=5+5+5+5+5 likewise what is 0.5^10? I don't want it in terms of division! Is it possible to express it in terms of addition only?

grime, zurtex, I get your point. o:) But isn't there a deeper insight into division, multiplication,...? Maybe a brief history lesson will help.

Zurtex, 5^10 = 5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5 Similarly, what is 0.5^10? I want an answer in terms of addition (or subtraction maybe) :devil:

I am having difficulty putting this question...i can't explain exactly what i mean Can anyone tell me in detail (history, number theory and all) about multiplication of fractions? I know that 5^2 means taking 5, 5 times and adding them. But what does 0.5^70 mean? I need indepth...
