This demonstration was a good way of teaching his students to always question what they were learning. The students were clearly used to solving polynomial equations using division, so they overlooked the fact that they were dividing by 0 to get a+b=b. Always try and look deeper when you are learning something new, especially if you feel there is something contradictory in the background. A good example is when I learned about the formal definition of uniform continuity in Real Analysis. I understood the concept of continuity really well, and felt so comfortable with it I overlooked a lot of the important differences between it and uniform continuity. It took me a long time to fully understand uniform continuity as a result.
He‘s just a legend. Because he‘s liking comments 8 YEARS later
RUclips: “It’s okay. They’ll watch anything in quarantine”
Maths would be so easy if everything is equal to 1.
This guy is still liking comments on this vid... what a legend
Let's meet again when RUclips Recommends this video after a decade.
Dividing by zero opens a black hole! Don’t do that !!!
The fact they are saying ooooooooo means u got students who listen
That class shows more enthusiasm for maths in this 3 minutes vid than my class combined in 1 week. That's a good sign for the teacher
This man knows math, this man knows Shakespeare, and this man is still hearting comments. What a legend
This man just solved world hunger. I now have 2 snicker bars instead of one.
teacher: you got a 0 on your test
2:
a-b gets 0, and dividing by 0 is undefined
Alternate title: Proof of why you should never try to divide by 0.
“So unfortunately you got 2nd place”
Boss: your salary for this week is $500.
This man is real legend after 12 years he's still giving hearts to everyone.

Teacher: "The test is easy, you're all going to pass."
