Yes, it is. The division of a by b in the set of real numbers and the set of rational numbers (which are, de facto, the default sets used in most professions) is defined as the multiplication of a by the multiplicative inverse of b. Alternative definitions are also based on a multiplication.
That’s why divisions are called an auxilliary operation.
I’m just confused as to how that is not common knowledge. The country I speak of is France, and we’re not exactly known for our excellent maths education.
No, it should simply be “Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, addition.”
A division is defined as a multiplication, and a substraction is defined as an addition.
I am so confused everytime I see people arguing about this, as this is basic real number arithmetics that every kid in my country learns at 12 yo, when moving on from the simplified version you learn in elementary school.
I honestly don’t understand why it’s not already the norm. We’ve got plenty of great providers in Europe.
Except that he made Jarvis. Meaning he understands perfectly his tool’s abilities and limitations… Which vibe coders don’t.
I don’t believe ECIs ever get a lot of media coverage, sadly.
Most people don’t even know they can start/participate in ECIs and have their opinion taken into account at a european level. Best we can do is share the platform and make sure as many people as possible know about it.
That 96% of the population isn’t currently in a state so shitty they’d revolt. We’re talking about a dystopian future where there is barely any work to do, yet no UBI or equivalent system. A future where the rich have everything and keep everything. People born in these conditions won’t be too lazy for a revolution.
Then they will someday wake up with a shock, because no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population from winning a revolution. That only happens in movies.
Plus, many countries would riot far before it gets to this point. We frenchies protested for years “just” because of our retirement being pushed a few years…
yet none of the currently available tools seem to be anywhere near capable of it.
Exactly. It’s not even capable of properly doing web development, imagine trying to use it to target environment requiring absolute optimisation… Or even just video games.
If something should work, but it doesn’t, nuke all the caches before diving in the rabbit hole of debugging weird issues
Yes, it is.
I’m defining the division operation, not the quotient. Yes, the quotient is obtained by dividing… Now define dividing.
The actual is the one I gave. I did not give the alternative definitions. That’s why I said they are also defined based on a multiplication, implying the non-alternative one (understand, the actual one) was the one I gave.
Feel free to send your entire Euler document rather than screenshotting the one part you thought makes you right.
Note, by the way, that Euler isn’t the only mathematician who contributed to the modern definitions in algebra and arithmetics.
