... zero. Another example would be a diver is at a depth of 500 ft below sea level. Or perhaps, a customer is overdrawn by $25 in his or her checking account. All of these quantities occur in real life but we cannot adequately express them using our current number system. We need a way to express them s ...

15 pt How to multiply pictures, and why
... obvious (although you may feel cheated). But the definition of multiplication now must be extended to linear combinations. It can only be done in one way if we are to satisfy the axioms discussed earlier: (∑i αi bi )(∑j αj0 bj0 ) = ∑i,j αi αj0 bi bj0 . ...

... We also know that n is not divisible by any of the pi, because if it was, then n - p1p2p3…pr would be divisible by the number pi and hence 1 would be divided by the number pi which cannot be true. This means that n is not divisible by any of our list of prime numbers. But we know from solution 2 tha ...

Scharp on Replacing Truth
... safe sentence, according to Scharp, is a sentence to which one can apply disquotational reasoning. Moreover, Scharp’s theory of safety is consistent: he shows that one cannot derive any contradictions from his theory of safeness and truth. In particular there are revenge sentences involving the safe ...
