What is the difference between ÷ and / in terms of Betti numbers?

[micromass]

So, if we consider ÷ and / as topological spaces (as subsets of $$\mathbb{R}^2$$). Then we can calculate the Betti numbers of these spaces. The question is how many Betti numbers of these spaces are actually different from each other...

For people not understanding it: This thread is a joke (: I just wanted to surprise the people who tought it would be just one of these silly threads, about that cursed equation...

Take it lightly

I came in here about to launch off on a rant then...

...good recovery!

 

[Evo]

Me too, I couldn't believe micromass would start such a thread!

 

[drizzle]

:/

Btw, what does this (:÷) mean?

 

[JaredJames]

A disgrace micro, a disgrace.

I immediately facepalmed when I saw the title of this thread. Where's the Picard facepalm picture when you need it.

Nope, it was worse than that:

Maybe it was even worse:

Ah, allo allo

 

[JaredJames]

Ah to hell with it:

I won't show it because there's a swear in it.

Now, if even Jesus finds it stupid...

Betti? I preferred Veronica, but then a Jughead can't touch that...

Archie Award for micromass (we're all out of Reggies)

 

[JaredJames]

He's lucky, it was nearly a Darwin award for committing PF suicide.

"Difference between ÷ and /"

The latter is stick.
The first is a stick with two dots above and below it.

Hey, you asked for it.


*cracks up*

You can get a cream for that...

For everyone who's not following Spiked Math, I have the impression that Mike does follow PF!

 

[Proton Soup]

eh? am i the only one confused about this divide vs. divide divide?

i always used a RPN calculator, so i have no idea what's going on here. (well, a TI briefly for a stats class because it was required.)

 

[narrator]

hmmm.. the inertia of the brackets lends its weight psychologically to the hidden multiplier, leading to the wrong conclusion.. I shall have to speak to my shaman about this disturbance in the force.. Jar Jar Binks strikes again

1/0 = err
0/1 = 0
1/0 x 0/1 = 1 (which let's 1/0 go free on a technicality)
the above completes my trinary data model
