It may interest you to know, however, that there are certain situations in which division by 0, and infinity become semi-acceptable to talk about

Yes, it does! What are those situations?
BTW Joeboo... thanks, it did help a bit to hear what I've been taught, and never fully understood. I knew that there was some rationalization for it in terms of variables, but either I really don't comprehend it, or some part of it goes against my grain of logic. Maybe I'm trying to make something 3-dimensional out of 2-dimentional math, I'm not sure, but it's still puzzling. As a fan of Cartesian geometry, I picture this definition of a point on the xy plane as having zero length or heigth, yet it can be an infinite line (positive OR negative) in the z axis. It's a
relative way of looking at it that is of special interest to me. Somehow I wonder how the varible instances can be turned into 3 dimensions and then make sense of a completely different nature. Would the same math then still work? :blink:
