Asymptote is an alias. My name is Matthew Banks.

[edit] Matthew Banks

I am a human being born, raised, and currently housed in the United States. My online alias is Asymptote (or Asymptote_Inverse), which I use at every opportunity. I consider Asymptote to be a meta-person, an entire collection of facts and personality traits which formed itself independently without my intervention.

[edit] Wikipedia Goals

On Wikipedia, I strive to close up dead-ends wherever I can. I generally create minor articles, for two reasons:

  1. I believe that the minor articles are an important part of an information system.
  2. All the major articles are taken.

[edit] Talk With Me

I can usually only be contacted by e-mail:

  • asymptote_inverse@yahoo.com
  • heuristic000x@yahoo.com (I don't check this one very often.)

[edit] Headline text

  • Birthdate: Saturday June 4th, 1988 at approximately 2:54 AM.

[edit] The Strange Numbers

I am perfectly aware that mathematical consistency disallows division by zero, but the class of numbers thus defined is a personal hobby, and a mathematical exercise. Below is some mathematics relating to the so-called "strange numbers".
B=\frac{1}{0}

N=0 \cdot B = \frac{0}{0}

\sqrt[0]{1}=\mathbb{R}

R=\sqrt[0]{n};  n \neq 0

\sqrt[\frac{1}{0}]{x}=x^{\frac{0}{1}}=x^0=1

[edit] The Strange Plane

Just as the imaginary numbers can be joined with the reals to form the complex plane, so one could make the argument that the strange numbers could be joined with the reals as well. This is problematic, however, because \mathbb{I} \cap \mathbb{R}=\lbrace 0 \rbrace, whereas \mathbb{S} \cap \mathbb{R}=\varnothing, due to the fact that B \cdot 0 \neq 0. Since it is still possible to form the set \mathbb{S} \times \mathbb{R}, I shall define the strange plane thus.

[edit] Strange Numbers as Solutions to Atypical Polynomials

For lack of a better term, I shall call expressions of the form \sum_{k=m}^n a_k x^k; m<0 "atypical polynomials".
