On the Operation of Division by Zero in Bhaskara's Framework: Survey, Criticisms, Modi cations and Justi cations
Journal Title: Asian Research Journal of Mathematics - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Brahmagupta introduced zero into the genus of real numbers and discussed operations involving it. Of these the operation of division by zero has caused a lot of disputes among mathematicians. The ultimate aim of this work is to clarify and justify Bhaskara’s arithmetic operation of division by zero and to justifiably demonstrate that the most significant case of division by zero, 1=0, has the infinite number (−1)! as its exact quotient.

Simulation of Project Completion Time with Burr XII Activity Distribution
Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation is no doubt a useful and an acceptable tool for the analysis of project networks. However, a common challenge in practice is the...
A Simple Model of Sediment Transport in the Nearshore Zone
In this paper we examine a simple model of sediment transport, induced by the breaking waves in the surf zone. Essentially the bottom is allowed to move in response to the divergence of a sediment flux, in turn determine...
Mathematical Model of a Closed Loop Pitch Controlled Turbine in a Wind Energy Conversion System
The closed loop pitch control relies on the variation in the power captured by the turbine as the pitch angle of the blades is changed in line with most companies’ challenge of maintaining a steady and optimal power supp...
Degree-correlation, Robustness and Vulnerability in Finite Scale-free Networks
Many naturally occurring networks have a power-law degree distribution as well as a non-zero degree correlation. Despite this, most studies analyzing the robustness to random node- deletion and vulnerability to targeted...
Common Caristi-type Fixed Point Theorem for Two Single Valued Mappings in Cone Metric Spaces
In this paper, we obtain a common Caristi-type xed point theorem for two single valued mappings in the setting of cone metric spaces. Further, we derive some consequences and a coupled xed point theorem for two mapping...
