Talk:Zeroth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apart from being horrible English, aren't there already alternatives? Isn't "nought" used in this way? --MacRusgail 14:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

"The nought element, the first element, the second element"... ? No, I don't think it is. Zeroth is a term which fills a need in math and computer science, as silly as it may sound to those who aren't in those fields. --FOo 17:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
