OK All You Math & Logic Experts - I Need Your Help...
 
I am looking for the word or phrase that discribes the following relationships. I will give the first one and see if you can provide the others.
1+2=0 is called a Zero Sum, what are these called? There is actual terms for these - I had them written down someplace but wifey through out the notebook. Don't get hung up on the actual numbers but rather the product.

1+2 = a number >3

1+2 = a number <3

2 x 3 = 2/3

2+3 = 2 x 3

feel free to add any others you can think of...

These states of being actually occur - just like when two things that are added together cancel eachother out. Niether is negative - is just a zero sum, It is the term 'zero sum' that has some relitives that I am interested in.

Does this have anything to do with a game per chance or do you have a certain interest in finite mathematics?

...our pathes cross once more...

:D

No game - it is for a piece I am doing on business models and market growth.

You mean like espressing the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts with "1+1>2"?

M.D. Holloway 07-03-2005 09:25 PM

Thats one - there is a term for that, I am just too stupid to rember it and too non-creative to make one up.

I'm sure you've googled it the subject but to my knowledge it's a theory that is normally associated with a game.

It's hard to explain - I gotta think on it a bit.

My finite mathematics is pretty finite.

Each one has its own term
