Dividing by Zero




Abstract : The one algebraic fact that most students remember after high school is that you can't divide by zero. But why not? We will talk about when you can, and can not divide by zero, and how learning to divide by zero is the first step to understanding differential Calculus. I will also discuss some of the applications of Calculus to engineering if time permits.
