This branch of mathematics I found recently is about tetration, super roots, and super logs. To bad we can't call it super power because that's already a term for something else lol. You just raise the exponent by the about of times by itself (minus 1 time). For the fifth hyper term, I think mathematicians need a new term instead of just using superscript numbers. I think with huge numbers is really not every lifestyle type of thing but more of a universal thing. Scientists use the scientific format to represent huge or small numbers so what is this mathematics useful for? By the way, we'll also need a name for this special system because there may be numbers that cannot equal tetriated terms. Like a real number multiplied by itself cannot be a negative number, there has to be more to understand of this.

What If I had this function:

f(x) = (5^5)?(5^2)/(5*2)-(5+2)

The ? is the unknown operator which is a level above division. Does it exist?
If we say that n^2/n = n and 2n-n = n then (n^n)?n = n.

Any input?

(C.P.R stands for common programming language. C, C++, Java, Python, and more.)

OK, I want to know how functions like gamma and zeta which gamma uses integrals and zeta uses something related to the harmonic series but with the denominator as an exponential function.

I've looked up statistics functions in a common programming language made using only operators and variables. This means it can be Game Maker compatible which is what I'm looking for.

The gamma function on THIS WEBSITE is written in C++. The following below is a version I rewrote for Game Maker, credit goes to original creator though.

        }
    }
    return c-(z<=0);
}else{
    if(abs(z)>1){
        c=abs(z);
        m=floor(c);
        r=1;
        for(k=1;k<=m;k+=1){
            r*=(z-k);
        }
        c-=m;
    }else c=z;
    gr=g[24];
    for(k=23;k>=0;k-=1){
        gr*=c;
        gr+=g[k];
    }
    ga=1/(gr*c);
    if(abs(z)>1){
        ga*=r;
        if(z<0)
            ga=-pi/(z*ga*sin(pi*z));
    }
}
if(ga>=9223372036854775808){
    show_error("Error in function gamma().",0);
    exit;
}
return ga;

It works, but I want to know how.
Brief analysis says that it looks like an array of random real numbers are initialized in the beginning. We can say that gamma(z) = z! when z is a natural number. Otherwise, we do some calculations. Since this is an integral related function, we multiply when using for loops I guess.

But, have you looked at the C++ gamma(); function? Is another algorithm faster than using arithmetic calculations? Since gamma relates to factorials, can it be thought of as a function to calculate values in between factorials on a graph? Can zeta or other functions be calculated? How?

2x + -3 = -6x

Subtract 2x.

-3 = -8x

divide by -8.

x= 3/8

Sorry, I see a lot of topics relating to 0. I want to collect most of those ideas here.
So what can we say or know about 0? If we have 0 groups of a number, than we have 0. If we add or take away 0 units, we do not change the unit total. 0 is less than any positive decimal number to exist, even to infinity. 0 is in such a way "void" that it can get rid of terms in equations when multiplied. It's sign is not even positive or negative.

So how can you solve xy = 0? is there no solution or 3 solutions? 3 solutions would be based on Boolean theory: x OR y would have to be 0. But there is no way to know.

Here's my input on division by 0:

1/0

This is read as the number 1 split into groups of 0, there is a possibility of infinite amount of 0s added or subtracted to 1 but still an undefined amount. I know that no matter how many 0s we add or subtract, there will never be a change in the negative side or the positive side or the actual number. Because 0 is neutral, it has no sign. So when we multiply by 0 (the "void"), we have to think that when we multiply by the same signs, I expect groups of negative and positive numbers in a positive answer. But different signs give a negative answer. I guess multiplying with a number that is not negative or positive just makes it neutral. And the only number without a sign is 0.

So I'm thinking in terms of signs when it comes to dividing by 0. If 0 had a sign, we could divide by positive 0 and get a number in a range of 0 to positive infinity or "-0" would be 0 to negative infinity. But since 0 has no sign, theory complains and says "I don't know whether 0 is positive or negative, and I don't even know how many 0s actually do exist in the number if not infinitely". x/0 has been proven undefined because of that.

I would like as much input on this as I can get!

I think when numbers are divided by x/9, there is an unprecedented number on the very end of the infinite range of decimal places where there is a number 1 greater than 9 to equal a value of 1:
Example:

7/9 = 0.7777777777777.....................8
8/9 = 0.8888888888888.....................9
9/9 = 1

This is proven by dividing by 9, this is actually NOT like solving for a infinite sum of 9 put to every decimal place. This does not have the number in the ellipsis to change it to 1. This would be as illogical as saying 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. I think decimal places have meaning as much as normal integral places, they are parts, and imprecise as you want it too, but clearly the equation above must be false even if there is one less.
To conclude this:

0.999999999999999999999999999 = 0.999999999999999999999999999
0.999999999999999999999999999.......................1 = 1

Or don't trust me and trust Wiki

3y + 4x is a binomial, right?
The two coefficients cannot factor so it's in it's simplest form. In other words, I can't divide by 3 or 4 to get a simplified answer.

Hi,
I am a teen software engineer/programmer and one of the important academic things that I have to learn for that is mathematics.

I currently go to a charter school so the education there is like no other school I've been to. Right now, they're rechartering the school but might fail this year (I'll have to look at another school to go to) cause they're losing money.
