.9999... = 1

This took a bit of convincing at first. But after taking a look at the calculus, I understand and accept the argument. It's actually fun to look into why.

No, I'm Sorry, It Does.
'Why does 0.9999... = 1 ?'

This 'Funny Math' had me rolling.

'Math Every Day' was really interesting look at how John von Neumann impacted how we look at and use Math and Computer Science. What did I take from the article? Don't think sequentially(as in a Turing machine), think functionally (as in Lisp and Lamda math).
