Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

Because there are no non-trivial circles in the trivial space {0}.

Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

That's a mighty fine geogebra demonstration Agnishom.  I am well impressed!

Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

hi pari.alf
a zero and a seven
have been drawn with
an extra crossing line
on the character.

I use dots on ones and zeros
in my personal notes.  I put the
dot on the center of the one or zero.

Yes.

Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

Thanks Bob smile

and a zero sphere is in R.

Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

But if the 0-sphere is in a space of dimension 1, then shouldn't an n-sphere be in a space of dimension n+1?

Re: difference of zero, circle and alphabet O

According to your definition, the zero sphere is in R.

I'd rather have the zero sphere to be the trivial sphere {0} in {0} and 1-sphere in R.

Well, I guess you'll have to readjust to this definition. It makes more sense when you look at it this way: The 1-sphere is a curved line with only 1 "dimension". The 2-sphere is a surface with 2 "dimensions".
