Re: You Too Can Be A Math Genius
My favorite request in Jr. High to those who believed that .9999... and
1 were not the same was this:
If they are different numbers then there must be a non-zero
difference between the two. What is that difference?
Of course, any proffered difference could be easily shown
to be incorrect.
