    I'm a 60 yr old retired software engineer and I watch Eddie for fun and insight. I had forgotten what e was until I watched his video, and ya, I wish I had him when I was a student, calculus would have actually made sense in class instead of having to teach it to myself from the textbook. Only one problem - those kids are going to feel a little nostalgic when they get to college and wonder where all the Eddies are.

    It actually also works out with the multiple subtraction of 0 from 1;
    You can subtract 0 from 1 as many times as you want but you will never make it zero. So even after subtracting 0 from 1 infinity times, you still are left with 1.
    You could say 1 devided by zero is infinity with a remainder of 1. But you could also replace infinity with any other number because subtracting any number of zeros from 1 still doesn't get you any closer to zero.

      Explore the general case.
      x minus 0, y times gives us the equation x-y*0=0. Solving for the variables will tell us how to evaluate x/0=y.
      x-y*0=0
      x-0=0
      x=0
      Without needing to know what y is, x is determined to be 0. **It's possible to compute x/0.**
      Let x =1.
      1-y*0=0
      1-0=0
      1=0
      Clearly 1 is not a viable possibility for x. **It is not possible to compute x/0, for x=1.**
      x/0=y implies x=0, and y remains undefined. 1/0=y implies 1=0, which is a contradiction.

      Yet I think that perhaps some complex numbers can be ordered. For example, 1+i < 2+i. If all non-real components are equivalent, can then the comparison be valid? Do we really need all non-real components to be zeroed out? This is because this "alternate number line" is parallel to the real number line, so its ordering then could be extended. But without this requirement, then the real-based concept of if a < b and b < c then a < c would not hold and we wouldn't know in which direction to order the alternate number line.

      "But why can't I divide by zero?" Tries it to see if smoke will start rising from the gears. So how does one reset a frozen "dividing by zero" mechanical calculator?
      Since 0 • a = 0, it is impossible to solve for a. The solution is 0/0 which could be anything. Such a multiplication is un-doable, hence division by 0 can not be defined.
      Imagine the 2-point slope formula when the coordinates of only a single point are entered, serving for both points. The result simplifies to 0/0. More info is needed. There are an infinite number of lines that pass through a given point. The slope could be anything.
      Yet in calculus, we find that the slope can be determined at a given point, as "approaching zero" (between the 2 points) isn't always the same as 0. y=2x. The slope is 2x^(1-1)=2 everywhere on the line. y=x^2. Slope is the derivative 2x^(2-1)=2x. Now it depends upon the x value of your point, as the graph is a curve or more specifically a parabola.
      Maybe we should have never invented 0? So then 1 - 1 = ? BTW, you can still have 10 without there being a "zero" on the real number line. You would simply have a hole at the origin. BTW, how do you write 0 in Roman numerals? But "X" still exists.
      1 • 10 + 0 • 1 = 10, so that is valid. =0 not so much. But I like 0, because when programming, I may actually want to have an empty list or an empty folder. Contains 0 items. Well gee, give me some time to actually put something into my new (empty) folder? When I first tried out Linux, I could not play videos. 0 videos available. What a bummer. No photos nor music either. Much like an empty shell until I started learning what I could do with it.

      this is mostly because maths teachers before you get to calculus don't have degrees in maths, so they can teach it by learning the content by rote, but don't know any of the mechanics behind it or have the deep level of understanding and intuition of someone who's studied maths at a much much higher level. This is also why teachers in general when you get older tend to be more enthusiastic about their given subject, because they were actually interested enough in it to pursue a degree in it or something related to it.

      this is the difference between a passionate teacher vs a teacher that is just doing their job. the ladder will just say "you shouldnt" without any context or real meaning. then professors like this and others will show you why you shouldn't.
      this is especially important in math and science where having a good teacher really can make a huge impact on your learning. most people havent had good teachers and struggle in math because of it

      @Comment King 1th they "can" be. My point is more to why the person's teacher isn't. It gets old. It stops being appreciated. I very much doubt teachers who teach repetitive subjects will carry enthusiasm as the years go on. Its like a factory job. Sure, it starts amazing but eventually it becomes work.
      And yes, enthusiasm can exist, but not for repetitive subjects. Philosophy or psychology, enthusiasm for days because people are different, numbers are not.
      Point is, here, there is a camera. Bring a camera with you and say you will upload it, they will give you a show.
      Celebs fake who they are all the time and you people buy it. Wake up.
      Just being real.
      And say what you want, but you will wake up one day and my truth will be heard. Just here and now its annoying. Later, it will become devastating. Your call. Just know, we all wake up to the truth eventually. Look up Jordan Peterson. Do you want a worm of a problem? Or do you want a dragon of a problem? You will need to face one, known as the truths, at one point. I suggest you get on it now.

      We were talking about teachers. If you are a 7th grade teacher, every year is the same lessons. In psychology or philosophy, every student has their own life and experience to relate to or place where the teacher can pull examples from to base examples on.
      No where in our convo did we speak about being students. It was based on "i wish my teacher was enthusiastic."

      The very first semester that I taught math at a college level, I used examples somewhat like this to help students understand "why" certain rules existed in math. My thinking was that if a student can understand the *why* at the basic level, the same *why* can be understood when we hit more complex things later in the class (or future math classes). Most students loved this approach and praised having a professor who gave them a little extra; however, there were a couple students who were far less amused. I remember going over those with reviews my supervisor and seeing things like, "There was too much unnecessary detail" and "We're being taught things that we don't need to know." I was mildly conflicted and wondered if I shouldn't be so engaging with the course material; thankfully, that doubt didn't impact my entire approach, but that was enough to show me early on that the student group easily can dictate how the professor performs.
      I say that to say this: there are definitely professors out there who "just don't care" about what they're teaching, and there are others who have been taught to "do less" because of the population they've taught. Encourage your kids - or yourself - to open a discussion with your professors about what you like in their teaching styles and what you might like to see more often.

      I appreciate your working.... And seems like you are a great professor.... But you know one time i did asked my teacher bout a problem and pleaded him to make me understand things with a little more explanation.... All he did was fireback at me.... And say that I don't pay attention... I have too much ego to understand anything...... And he dominated me so much that eventually i started hating maths.... It's not true that every teacher is interested in teaching..... There are some great and dedicated teachers like you as well as some egoistic teacher like mine who don't give a damn bout the students

      @@ginny6885 - I can appreciate and understand that reply. As with all things life: there are those who make the best use of a skill, and there are those who waste or abuse it. I try really hard to use the something I call the "Mechanic Metaphor" when it comes to things like this.
      Everyone who has ever driven a car has a story about going to a mechanic and feeling ripped off by them. The person took forever; they were overcharged; the car issue still wasn't really fixed; so on... even though folks have had this, they STILL went to a new mechanic because they NEEDED one. People will try and try until they find a mechanic that feels like a good fit. Once they find a trustworthy fit, they stick with that mechanic as long as they can. This also applies to math tutors/professors. One professor/tutor can ruin the experience, but there is another professor/tutor out there who will pull everything together along as someone is willing to still look. 💗

When Eddie explains at 5:45, the denominator is the same AND the derived answer (infinity) is the same. if the denominator and the answer remain the same then the numerator has to be equal. in this case, 1=2 but that is fundamentally wrong. hence infinity is not the answer. that's what he is trying to get at. another way to look at it is from his initial explanation of repeated subtraction. even if I take away infinite 0s from a number, I still won't reach nothing. Hence, again, infinity cannot be the answer.

      So 1 ÷ 0.1 = 10
      You know about division by negatives? Wait no that also just repeated subtraction with extra steps
      +15 ÷ -5 = (+15) -(-5) -(-5) -(-5)
      Turn the symbol negative by making the other symbols positive.
      +(+15) +(-5) +(-5) +(-5) = 0
      15 -5 -5 -5 =0
      So 15 ÷ -5 = -3
      Idk anymore
