Undergrad Weird question about dividing by zero
I agree with everything you said. But shouldn't we stop and say 1/0 is impossible. Stop the presses! I checked on other calculators as well. like a google search and my personal calculator. It must be a computation thing.- BrandonNajera

Undergrad Weird question about dividing by zero
I checked it on my calculator (or at least i thought I did) and it said 0. I did the inverse calculation (1/0) which I think makes more sense now. Why is it that when I divide x by 1/0 I get 0 instead of an undefined answer http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28a%2Fb%29%2F%281%2F0%29 So...- BrandonNajera

Undergrad Weird question about dividing by zero
Ok let a and b be non zero numbers (\frac{a}{b}) / (\frac{1}{0})=0 But shouldn't that be undefined since you would get a fraction like this \frac{1}{0} which isn't allowed. Since it got us to a "wrong" answer, that would mean our assumption was wrong. Please tell me where I went wrong.Not...- BrandonNajera

High School Books To Inspire a Beginnig Physics Student
I looked at the book on Amazon and it looked like to me that it was a biography of young girl. is this the proper book? https://www.amazon.com/Bahadurabad-Essential-Asia-Sadiq-Zeeba/dp/0571216412/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330225327&sr=8-2- BrandonNajera

High School Books To Inspire a Beginnig Physics Student
Would you say that the book gave a good argument against string theory or was it just another example of, "They can't prove it and they won't be able to, so ha, eat that Brian Greene."? I'm up for a good argument and it looks like the books has rave reviews, but I don't want to have a...- BrandonNajera

High School Books To Inspire a Beginnig Physics Student
I do like Feynman. I have watched his Cornell lectures a few times. Thank you for being honest with me about the reality of things. I have purposefully avoided Brian Greene because of the whole string theory thing (Not that it is bad or wrong, but just because it's so darn complicated for...- BrandonNajera

High School Books To Inspire a Beginnig Physics Student
What books would you encourage a physics student to read, that you overall enjoyed. It doesn't just have to be about physics. I'm currently reading, "Euclid's Window" and it is almost all about Math, which I have no problem with. I guess what I'm asking is what should I read (or watch, or do)...- BrandonNajera
