We hear everywhere that the result is undefined and it is impossible to divide by zero. But it turns out that division by zero has a much richer history, and most importantly, the solution to this problem leads to the edge of modern mathematics, to systems where division by zero is still possible. What is the problem with division by zero? Why do we need to be able to divide by zero? What does the wheel theory, mathematical meadows and transmaterial arithmetic have to do with it? And where does division by zero lead us? #vitalmath What's inside: 00:00 Introduction 02:22 What's the problem 05:36 How they used to divide 11:15 Projective extension of the number line 13:36 Wheel theory 21:49 Mathematical meadows 24:35 Practical solution 27:08 Conclusion Links to sources and materials: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L...
