Re: Find the number
I would say that is the number.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Find the number
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hard to believe that is the smallest number...
