Peano axioms: Can you really PROVE that 2+2=4?
How do you prove 2 + 2 = 4? I mean, it's just TRUE right? If you think this, well, Mr. Peano would like to have a word with you.

    ### Step-by-Step Proof 1. **Define the Natural Numbers**: The set of natural numbers, denoted by \( \mathbb{N} \), includes all positive integers starting from 1. For simplicity and based on the Peano axioms, let's start with 0. 2. **Peano Axioms**: - 0 is a natural number. - Every natural number \( n \) has a successor, denoted as \( S(n) \). - There is no natural number whose successor is 0. - Different natural numbers have different successors; if \( a eq b \), then \( S(a) eq S(b) \). 3. **Addition Definition**: Addition is defined recursively as: - \( a + 0 = a \) - \( a + S(b) = S(a + b) \) ### Applying the Definition 1. **Calculate \( 2 + 2 \)**: - First, we need to represent the number 2 using Peano axioms. \[ 2 = S(S(0)) \] - Now, apply the definition of addition: \[ 2 + 2 = S(S(0)) + S(S(0)) \] - Using the recursive definition: \[ S(S(0)) + S(S(0)) = S((S(S(0))) + S(0)) \] \[ S((S(S(0))) + S(0)) = S(S(S(0) + 1)) \] We know that: \[ S(0) = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad S(S(0)) = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad S(S(S(0))) = 3 \quad \text{and} \quad S(S(S(S(0)))) = 4 \] So, \[ S(S(S(0) + 1)) = S(S(S(S(0)))) \] Simplifying: \[ S(S(S(S(0)))) = 4 \] ### Real-World Examples 1. **Apples Example**: - Imagine you have 2 apples. If a friend gives you 2 more apples, you now have a total of 4 apples. - Mathematically: \[ 2 \text{ apples} + 2 \text{ apples} = 4 \text{ apples} \] 2. **Money Example**: - Suppose you have 2 dollars and you earn 2 more dollars. You now have 4 dollars. - Mathematically: \[ 2 \text{ dollars} + 2 \text{ dollars} = 4 \text{ dollars} \] ### Complex Number Example: - Consider the complex numbers \( z_1 = 2 + 0i \) and \( z_2 = 2 + 0i \). When you add these complex numbers: \[ z_1 + z_2 = (2 + 0i) + (2 + 0i) = 4 + 0i = 4 \] ### Conclusion Through the rigorous application of the Peano axioms and recursive definitions of addition, along with real-world examples and complex number examples, we have shown that indeed: \[ 2 + 2 = 4 \]

    This is not what really happens, in reality the rotation (in any dimension) is the result of perform two consecutive reflections, in this way the angle of rotation is twice theta. and actually in any form of mathematics where you can represent points and reflections you can also represent rotations, for example with complex numbers, matrices, quaternions, etc. Sorry for my bad english

    Anyone else notice that "((2^n)-1)" & "(2^(n-1))" are just the expressions you use to convert either a string of 1's or a 1 with a string of 0's behind it, respectively from binary into Base 10? No? Just me? Cool... Worked it out on my own, even! [While investigating some Base10 vs. Base2 (binary) stuff; happened to note that the expressions or the relative conversions of those particular binary digit strings just happened to match the pieces that get multiplied together to create perfect numbers (where n is prime & "(2^n)-1" is a Mersenne Prime)]... ;) Interesting!

  • @PrayAlways-mn7wh
    @PrayAlways-mn7wh 10 місяців тому

    Great job and this is by far the best description of a quaternion video I have come across. One comment I have is that "by definition" contains no information why things are the way they, there is no insight or intuitive feel for the description of "the way things are the way they are". "By definition" often is stated by the teacher to the student, to mean do not ask any more questions rather than giving insight. "By definition" should be explained in context, and often it means "logically consistent" or it leads to an "illogically consistent" result, in both cases the "logically consistent" and "illogically consistent" result should be explained. For quaternions, the "by definition" implies a logically consistent subfield of numbers given all pertinent rules are stated and followed. This is why Rowan Hamilton was excited and immediately scratched down the formula i^2=j^2=k^2=i*j*k=-1, he had in essence discovered a new field (to be more accurate a new subfield) of numbers, a new space, which is logically consistent given the stated quaternion rules of multiplication. The focus shouldn't be on "by definition" but the fact that Rowan Hamilton had discovered a new subfield of numbers which was only appreciated once computers and computer games became popular. To see the illogical consistency, one can attempt to create a field or subfield with i and j only, if you attempt to do this you will quickly find there is illogical consistencies within a 3-dimensional world, and one has to go to 4 dimensions (quaternions) with some extra multiplication rules to make a consistent subfield.

    • @hotbit7327
      @hotbit7327 5 місяців тому

      Math is often reformulated into better structures but sometimes becomes more difficult to understand. I saw Hamilton's paper, and it's one of the best places to start with quaternions, maybe the best. First, when he tried to extend complex numbers, he came out with a + bi +cj - note, no k! But when trying to multiply... what the heck is ij? So let's temporarily name their product as k. From there he deduced i^2=j^2=k^2=i*j*k=-1. Thus it was a long intellectual process to get to quaternions. Unlike modern papers, I like this old fashion papers more, as they sometimes show The Process of thinking, the train of thoughts of the discoverer.

    • @PrayAlways-mn7wh
      @PrayAlways-mn7wh 5 місяців тому

      @@hotbit7327 The process of discovery is difficult for the first trailblazer since no path exists. To go from real numbers to complex numbers, which Hamilton was a part of, spans from 780 Al-Khwarizmi in linear Algebra solutions to Augustin-Louis Cauchy 1814 complex function theory in an 1814 memoir. William Rowan Hamilton, 1843, was on the post acceptance of complex numbers. It is natural from a linear algebra point of view, btw Hamilton approached the argument by linear algebra and not by spatial geometry argument, to consider a + bi +cj and as you noted there is no k. When you do 3 dimensional complex number multiplication you are left with answering, what is i*j, and it is this question that every morning Hamiton's son was indirectly asking when he asked Hamilton, his father, ""Well, Papa, can you multiply triples?" Eventually this quandary to Hamilon led him to say i*j=k, this was the breakthru moment which led him to scrape on the Dublin Bridge i*j*k=-1. The formula i*j*k=-1 is a consequence of saying/understanding/inventing/utilizing i*j=k, eureka moment, the actual breakthrough was having the insight or courage to try, to understand that i*j=k. The fact that Hamilton expressed Quaternions as Q = w + ix + jy + kz in his classic paper on Quaternions, tells you he understood that the solution of "multiplying triples" was really operating in 4D space and not 3D. 3D multiplying is logically inconsistent, one has to go to an even order dimension for there to be consistent and logical linear algebra multiplications, given special but simple algebraic rules exist. The history of great leaps is strewn with the realization that one lives in the same world before and after the realization, however one sees the world entirely different.

    Certainly! Here's a 1000-word sentence to explain why 1 + 1 equals 2. In the realm of mathematics, the fundamental concept of addition serves as a cornerstone for the construction of numerical relationships, and the simple arithmetic expression 1 + 1 encapsulates this foundational principle with profound clarity and precision, as it embodies the amalgamation of two distinct units, each represented by the digit 1, into a singular composite entity, thereby resulting in the absolute quantity of 2, which, in the context of the decimal numeral system, holds the position of the first non-zero natural number subsequent to 1, and by definition denotes the cardinality of a set comprising two elements, thereby establishing a direct and unequivocal correlation between the addends and the sum, a relationship that is firmly grounded in the axiomatic structure of arithmetic and underpins the very essence of numerical reasoning, as the operation of addition itself is defined as the process of combining multiple quantities to yield a single total, and in this specific instance, the addends, both of which possess an identical numerical value of 1, are united through the application of the addition operator, which signifies the act of combining or joining disparate numerical values to produce a new and unique value that encapsulates the collective magnitude of the constituent quantities, and it is by virtue of this fundamental operation that the addends 1 and 1 are conjoined to yield the resultant sum of 2, which is the direct consequence of the additive process and stands as a testament to the inherent arithmetic truth that embodies the proposition 1 + 1 = 2, as the sum itself denotes the total quantity obtained from consolidating the individual units represented by the addends, and thus elucidates the essence of additive reasoning, which forms the bedrock of numerical computation and serves as an indispensable tool for quantification and enumeration in various mathematical and real-world contexts, and the veracity of the statement 1 + 1 = 2 is further corroborated by the intrinsic properties of the natural numbers, which are characterized by their ability to be systematically ordered and operated upon according to well-defined rules and properties, and as such, the sum 2, being the result of combining the addends 1 and 1, falls in line with the principles of numerical succession and ordinality, as it immediately succeeds the number 1 in the sequence of natural numbers and represents the concept of "one more than one" in a clear and unambiguous manner, thereby reflecting the inherent consistency and coherence of the arithmetic system, and it is worth noting that the proposition 1 + 1 = 2 also finds affirmation in the broader framework of set theory, where the process of addition can be conceptualized as the union of two singleton sets, each containing a solitary element denoted by the numeral 1, to form a composite set with two elements, and thus, the resultant set comprising 1 and 1 aligns perfectly with the cardinality of 2, thereby reinforcing the arithmetical equivalence embodied in the expression 1 + 1 = 2, and this congruence between the cardinalities of the addends and the sum serves as a compelling validation of the fundamental arithmetic truth enshrined in the simple yet profound equation, thus underscoring the incontrovertible veracity of the statement that 1 + 1 indubitably equals 2.

    is this solution correct a²+b² can be written as (a²+b²)(1+ab) - ab(a²+b²) and as (1+ab)|(a²+b²) then ab(a²+b²) should be equal to zero In case 1, when a² + b² = 0, the expression (a² + b²)/(1 + ab) simplifies to 0/(1 + ab) = 0, which is indeed a perfect square. In case 2, when ab = 0, the expression (a² + b²)/(1 + ab) simplifies to (a² + b²)/(1 + 0) = (a² + b²)/1 = a² + b². Since ab = 0, it follows that a² + b² = (a + b)², which is a perfect square. Therefore, based on these two cases, it can be concluded that for any values of a and b, the expression (a² + b²)/(1 + ab) is always a perfect square.
