How Can 1+1 Equal 0 in Certain Mathematical Contexts?

[drc4rd1n]

helo..

We know that 1+1 = 2.

but try this out..there is some dummy things goes around here

Firstly, we denote
1 + 1 = 1 + $$\sqrt{1}$$
<=> 1 + $$\sqrt{(-1)(-1)}$$
<=> 1 + $$\sqrt{-1}$$$$\sqrt{-1}$$
<=> 1 + i*i
<=> 1 + (-1)
<=> 0 ??

how come 1+1=0 ?
and where is the mistake ?

Is it true 1 = $$\sqrt{1}$$ ?

Never mind, I was never good at maths. Didn't read what you put properly :P

mod 2 :(

I was going to say the same...

1 + 1 = 0 mod 2
