Date: 2004-12-03 03:37 pm (UTC)i have hazy recollections of talking to you in slimelight about stuff like
http://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/falseProofs/first1eq2.html
so there it is, if you're interested
all of these things have nothing to do with maths and everything to do with people making assumptions that they shouldnt, or maybe overgeneralising what they have previously seen, and stuff
or possibly school teachers forgetting to explain (in the first place) that you cant divide by zero, which seems most likely
now i must get back to work :)
