Hello
This is question is bugging me for years.
Why is division by 0 undefined and not multiplication by 0 undefined?
If any number multiplied by 0 is 0 then the logical answer for any number divided by 0 would be ∞ (for me at least).
If you "define" N/0=∞ and N*0=undefined then there are no contradictions. Did the mathematicians had to choose between n/0=undefined and n*0=undefined?
What about this:
n*0=0
0/0=n special rule
n/0=∞
∞*0=n special rule
Sorry for my poor english, I am not a native speaker.
