@SmartmanApps @LucasWerkmeister skimming... "1/3 and 0.(3) AREN'T the same number". It looks to me like we aren't going to make any further progress in this conversation. 🙂 Have a great day!

@SmartmanApps @LucasWerkmeister my friend, let me introduce you to 1/3

@SmartmanApps @LucasWerkmeister yes, math has axiomatic truths. But a website (or a fedi post, for that matter) may not be accurate in discussing them.

I think the wikipedia entry here is pretty clear that it is talking about real numbers, in which case 0.(9) is not a hyperbola, but is in fact a rational number, 1.

@SmartmanApps @LucasWerkmeister I hope nobody takes any source as absolute truth, be it wikipedia or anything else. It's still a great list and a fun starting point to learn new things.

Also, I disagree with your counterexample. 🙂
