minus-squareewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoWhy a subset? They’re the same thing right? I guess it could be about the zero?

minus-squareewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoWell what I learned in school was that zero was both positive and negative. I knew some people consider the natural numbers don’t include zero, but I didn’t know for some zero isn’t even positive.

minus-squaredeltapi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year agoI knew a physicist who considered 0 negative if she arrived at 0 coming from negative source numbers and positive if coming from positive sources. Something something sampling rate

minus-squareewenak@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoTrue But I don’t think they would have said “a subset of” if the sets were identical.

True
But I don’t think they would have said “a subset of” if the sets were identical.
