we talk about numbers quite often. now if we say math is a language it wont be wrong.every language has a base. Has something which is the fundamental base of a lanuage. what is the fundamental base of math by which u can define the whole of real world mathematics?

its nothing but 0, 1 and infinity. by these 3 fundamental one can have any number of real world maths. but what does these three numbers represent. are these merely numbers that we write down on paper?
i say mathematics represents life. it represents the truths of the world. whenwe look at it, we can find that mathematics is that lanuguage which has teh crux of every life.
ONCE AGAIN WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THREE NUMBERS 0,1 AND INFINITY? MAY I CUDNT HAVE PUT MY DESIRE IN PROPER WORDS, BUT HAVE MY DESIRE PRETTY CLEAR.
I have no idea what either of you are talking about. If by "fundamental base" you mean like "base ten" and "base 16" (hexadecimal), then there is *no* "fundamental base", it is arbitrary.
But if by "fundamental base" you mean the basis on which math is built, then I would say either set theory, or natural numbers depending on what you mean.

Bold textwhat do you think about the connection between numbers and music?[ pythagoras ]--Ruczandra 16:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)RucZanDraRedirect to Number ==Reply

Should this page redirect to Number the most common usage. There is a link to a Number (disambiguation) at the top of that page.--Salix alba (talk) 09:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

No, I don't think so. There are several articles disambiguated by this page that are actually for "Numbers" as a title: Numbers (Cat Stevens album), Book of Numbers, and Numb3rs (a la leet). RossPatterson 19:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge

edit

I'm going to merge number (disambiguation) with this page, becuase theres no reason to separate. Fresheneesz 21:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

pythagoras had a point

what do you think about the connection that Pythagoras made between numbers and music?

What kind of answer are you looking for? (Patricia Op 23:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC))Reply

Title

edit

Would it not be better rather to call this page Number (disambiguation)? That would make its purpose clear. "Numbers" and "Number" are really the same topic, and this page covers alternative meanings for both terms. Assigning "Number" to the article on the main topic and "Numbers" to the disambiguation page seems arbitrary and opaque. Victor Yus (talk) 11:18, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
