:O

It costs like £700 a copy o_O

But i guess they use a single educational licence to cover the distribution.

Some of us didn't do any maths at school either But sure I can chip in.

And like you suspected, some of us forgot it already, even though we did learn college business calc, Tamir!

And space, I looked a little more closely at the disk i got from uni, and it says 'effective until April 2009'. Does that mean it'll stop working after that point and that it's an educational license?

It'll probably ask you to update the registy key. My school does that for anti-virus software and the Office suite (essentially at the expiry date it brings up a window like the one you had when you first installed it, you type in the new key and away you go. It still reads stuff when it expires, you just can't edit it).

As for calc help Red, I apologize; I'm an algebra and geometry type. ^^0

So someone's been trying to convince me that 1+0=0, which I am, sceptical of, to say the least. As far as I can see there's some arbitrary bracket insertion to an infinite series going on which I'm not sure is an entirely legal move; but since the last maths course I took was a rudimentary high school class it seems worth checking with the more maths inclined folks.

So anyway their claim goes like this:

(1+1) - (0+1) = 1

1-1=0

1+1+1+1+1+1+1..ad infinity - (1+1+1+1+..ad infinity)=0

1+(1+1+1+1+1.. ad infinity)- (1+1+1+1+1+1+1...)=0

1+(1+1+1+1+1...)+0=(1+1+1+1+1+...) /subtract (1+1+1+1+..) from both sides)

1+0=0

__________________________

And my response goes like this:

(1 + 1...) - (1 + 1...) = 0

0 + 1
= (1 + 1...) - (1 + 1...) + 1
= 1 + ( 1 + 1 ...) - ( 1 + 1 ...)
= 1

Is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, Inifinty minus Infinity is always undefined.

Orrr, 1+0 = 1 because can't you use your fingers. Sillyface. It's like saying down = up. Or something.

Seriously, I fail at maths but even I can tell that 0+1=1.

Because if there are no cakes on the table, and then someone puts one cake on the table, that means there is, in all likelihood, one cake on the table.

[Tamir]

True, but what does that have to do with anything? o_0

[electricpanda]

Yeah, but that's because it's rounded up.

I think.

No, it equals one with no rounding.
