From buddy Thu May 4 00:30:33 1995 Date: Thu, 4 May 1995 00:30:29 Subject: Some neat mathematical proofs Suppose that a=b. Then a = b a^2 = ab a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b) a + b = b a = 0 ___________________________________________________________________________ And another that gives you a sense of money disappearing... 1$ = 100c = (10c)^2 = (0.1$)^2 = 0.01$ = 1c Here $ means dollars and c means cents. This one is scary in that I have seen PhD's in math who were unable to see what was wrong with this one.
