Submission + - Could It Be Possible To Divide By Zero? (bbc.co.uk) 2
cdrdude writes: "We've all learned that it isn't possible to divide by zero, an age-old problem in mathematics. However, one Dr Anderson thinks he has found the solution,. The BBC writes: "Schoolchildren from Caversham have become the first to learn a brand new theory that dividing by zero is possible using a new number — 'nullity'. But the suggestion has left many mathematicians cold". In short, Dr Anderson has proposed that 0/0 = a new number called nullity. "Nullity is a fixed number with value 0/0, It is not undefined, it is not indeterminate". Could this really be possible? It seems impossible, but I don't have the math background to definitively prove or disprove it."
