Why does that even exist? When are you going to divide something by nothing...literally you are doing nothing by dividing by nothing. Same a with times zero as well, you had nothing to start off with and are trying to multiply that.

Just a general question. Watch a documentary on channel 4 last month and it was basically saying how sociably acceptable it is to be crap at maths.

Like if you was out in public and said I can't read you'd get a few funny looks but it's ok to not be able to do maths.

I'd honestly say maths was my worst subject at school I found it the hardest. But it always felt ok to not get on with maths.

Now I'm a physics student and I love maths usually always get a definitive answer.

It's just a discussion that's been around for years. The short of it is that you can add 0, minus 0, multiply by 0 but can't divide by 0.

Some computer programs make it 1 (some can't do the function at all), some mathematicians say it's 0 and Euler said it was infinity. The point of talking about it is progression - mathematics has made the impossible possible in the past.

Bizarrely I used to have a recurring nightmare that I had a calculus A-level exam coming up and I hadn't revised at all for it ... they used to be so real too, must have woke up in a sweat with that dream about 20 times.

I haven't used either calculus or trigonometry since I left University - I would need a bit of a refresher before sitting any exams on either right now!

I didn't do so well at maths in secondary school but when it came to doing an HNC and I was in my mid 20's the logical part of my brain must have developed and I did very well at the calculus and numerical stuff. Differentiation was a tad tricky and to be honest I'd be stuffed if I was asked to do any today. I can't even remember the formula for quadratic equations.

The most I do these days are a little trig for work but I have a nifty excel file to help with that and the rest is basic formulae stuff in excel now and then. I feel my education in it was wasted.

Do I get bonus points for knowing how to complete a rubiks cube? Sad to say I've forgotten how to do that little party trick too (done without removing the stickers )

You can't see anything, all you see is the light spectrum reflecting off it, some elements absorb parts of the spectrum, allowing you to see the remaining spectrum (colour) reflecting off it.

Water 99.9% of the time is made from 2 elements of hydrogen and one element of oxygen linked together although occasionally you come across isotopes deuterium.

Cabbage I'm not sure about

The median is the middle value in a ranked list. I think you mean the mean. And if that's what you meant you would have a valid observation. My comment still stands as the assumption underneath the headline is that it is a problem for half the kids to be below average. In all likelihood the statistic they were using was the mean (rather than median or mode) and the journalist was simply representing an amusing assumption and common misconception.

Amazed by the subject...much is beyond my understanding, though I'm currently trying to resume the journey I ended many years ago..

The way complex equations are simplified - I find as beautiful as I'd find a piece of art...

Somebody asked about the point of dividing by zero.... I suspect the concept was derived out of necessity...to solve a particular problem...or refine a solution.

Wish I'd focused on it much more. Playing catch up now.

Water 99.9% of the time is made from 2 elements of hydrogen and one element of oxygen linked together although occasionally you come across isotopes deuterium.

Cabbage I'm not sure about

The cabbage has to be 99% ..... after it has been boiled to death.

..ooo good call although I suspect you may boil the water out of it

What is left after the water is gone?.

A horrible taste "
Well the Answer to no 1. yes your right real Steam Is quite Invisible, as may be observed from watching a boiling Kettle, for a short space beyond

The kettles spout nothing can be seen ,then the clouds of water drops begin.

no.2 yes your right again absolutely Pure water Is composed of these two elements but water Is never found absolutely pure In nature because of Its great capacity to dissolve matter.

no.3 well the cabbage Is over 90% by Weight water melon contain as much as 98% water well done everyone.

"More science than maths but would Anyone

Know and these are the questions-:

Can we see steam?

What Is water made of?

how much water Is there In a cabbage?.

.

You can't see anything, all you see is the light spectrum reflecting off it, some elements absorb parts of the spectrum, allowing you to see the remaining spectrum (colour) reflecting off it.

"Square root of a negative number, anyone?

Imaginary numbers are GCSE maths!"

Yup. But since there was some discussion on the merits of 'zero' as an abstract qualifier of nothing, I figured let's throw in a little j notation.

When I was doing research, it drove me nuts that everyone else in the lab knew sod all about stats.

No you cannot do a Chi Square test on everything and anything. Is your data non-parametric? Well, is it??? *headdesk*

They didn't even understand what a standard deviation is or how to calculate it.

And these people were publishing research papers! Drove me bloody nuts.

And I failed my maths A level so goodness knows what they got up to!

The metric system had something to do with the French revolution I remember that much.

I think the water would prism the light bending the focal depth!

0 May mean nothing, but it means a hell of a lot when correctly placed.

Was excellent at high level math but not really practiced it for years so quite rusty these days.

Okay, now this just isn't fair.

It is bad enough reading forums and struggling to resist the urge to correct grammar; but this is unexpected: I never thought I would be trying to suppress the urge to explain why the maths in this thread is wrong!

Come on people! Please just stick to bad English; not bad maths
