I accept that definition, and that 0 is not an ordinary number.
I assume you will now accept that 0 is a real number, since real numbers and ordinary numbers are not the same thing?

Maths is pretty much about finding relationships between numbers, so whatever you label them they are different numbers with a set of properties which are not the same as "a" and "b" as shown.
-∞<a<0<b<∞
I could sit here and define the properties of -∞, a, 0, b, and ∞, but that's grade schools stuff and I can't be botherred so fuck off and force semantics into your AIDS infected asshole elsewhere you disgusting worthless piece of shit.

Do you lack reading comprehension or something? You say "ordinary numbers are the set of real numbers which satisfy this property." I say "fine, then 0 is not an ordinary number, but it is still a real number." And your response is to ramble about my "AIDS infected asshole"?
God, what a fucking failure.

>>16 PS - infinity is NOT a number but more of a concept.
So is 0, which is more of a concept (nothingness) just like infinity is a concept.

I think it's a lesson in probability.
Like "the chance of getting 8 out of 6 is 0."
Or with a 6-sided die, the chance of rolling a 8 would be zero, while the chance of rolling anyhthing 1-6 would be 1/6.

or maybe, just maybe, he did his math wrong, first of all he can reduce to 4/3 = 0
this is of course also incorrect, so anonymous, you get an F.

0 is to nothingness what infinity is to allness; in a sense, infinity makes the same sense as 0, and when you work in the zero ring, infinity becomes a regular number (a subclass of ordinary) and you can divide by 0.
