Hello, mathematicians,
I have a very simple question. Well its simple to state. Can you arrive at all the higher level mathematics with plain addition? Here's an example of what I mean. Can you calculate things like trigonometry and logarithms with just addition?
I ask this question because I've been following and participating in a debate which claims that you can achieve all the higher level mathematics functionality with just addition.
Myself, I fall on the side of basic addition can achieve all the higher level functions and I'm curious what a professional mathematicians would say.
Thank-you for any replies.
