minus-squareLog in | Sign up@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIs not 12+12Z the exact same coset as 0+12Z? Is 12 not the identity element? Must group theory follow computer science conventions?

minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThe idea of zero being a number rather than the absence of a number took a very long time to settle on. There’s a whole history book on the topic!
minus-squareApathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI listened to an audiobook about the history of zero years ago (can’t remember the name, might be that one). I thought it would be dull enough to fall asleep to. It was not.

minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months ago… what digital clock goes clockwise?
minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoWell I can tell you that mine definitely doesn’t go anti-clockwise

What clocks do you have that say 0, except for the 0 in 10?
Digital ones.

Mine just goes south
