Don't do the forbidden math

Calculator-as-a-service
- When you break the subscription cost down into weekly payments, it seems very reasonable.
  
  It costs less than a Stabucks coffee every 5 minutes.
  
  I wouldn’t know. I can’t check.
  
  Adless addition is easily worth it
  
  The secret to selling the calculator subscription is to use the smallest possible time base for the quoted price since the potential clients can't use the calculator to figure out the yearly cost of the subscription.
  
  Yeah, but if you sign up for a year up front you get an additional 15 parentheses a month.
- Addition = 1 mathgem.
  Subtraction = 2 mathgems.
  Multiplication = 3 mathgems.
  Division = 5 math gems.
  Square root = 10 mathgems.
  100 math gems = £1.99.
  1,000 math gems = £15.99.
  10,000 math gems = £129.99. BEST VALUE

There's a decent occult/sci-fi novel series called the Laundry Files wherein people sometimes stumble across or come up with forbidden mathematics that actually functions as a form of occult spellcraft. They then get forcibly drafted into this secret government organization that works to protect the world from extraterrestrial threats, occult creatures like vampires and succubi, and the lovecraftian horrors from the depths of the oceans or the ~~fridge~~ fringe edges of space. They're like the men in black crossed with Lovecraft crossed with a British comedy about monotonous office life and bureaucracy. It's a pretty entertaining series. Highly recommend.

  Somewhere near the borders of known space, shrouded by darkness and a two-week-old carton of milk, they lurk... the moldy leftovers!
- What a bizarre idea. Thanks for the rec!
- Gonna try to lay my hands on it, thanks, seems stupidly crazy and enjoyable
- My library has it thanks!!
- That sounds amazing. I'll give that a read, thanks mate
- Awesome my library app has it, thanks! Sounds right up my alley!
- First time seeing them mentioned online, Charles Stross is great
- I'd like to add the audiobooks are quite good for those who listen! They're a very fun series (I've "only" been through the first 6, quite a few more after I checked.)
  
  Yeah, I listened to them on audiobook myself. Also about 6 of them, give or take, oddly enough. I have been doing audiobooks a ton the last few years, as I rarely have time to just sit down and read. Perfect for when you're doing menial tasks that aren't mentally engaging. Doing dishes, driving, going grocery shopping... audiobook.
  I've been on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series lately which is another great series that's also weird as hell. Weirder even than the Laundry Files by far. A half naked protagonist fighting for his life with his girlfriend's cat in tow, meth head llamas, and a dungeon-controlling AI with a thing for feet, just to name a few things from early in the first book. And the narrator for Carl sounds a lot like Patrick Warburton. Thoroughly recommend if that sounds like your kind of thing.

  Sweet, Thanks.
  I just checked The Atrocity Archives (first book in the series) out of my local library's e-book program.
  I'm looking forward to reading this.

  Thank you i'll search that 👍
  
  Happy to share. Hope you enjoy.

It's the teachers that said we wouldn't always have calculators in our pockets getting revenge.
- Yup. If you use your calculator for 5×6 instead of remembering your times tables, they lock you out

You divided by zero didn't you?
- NO CALCULATOR IS GOING TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO!
  
  look what you did, now everything is broken
- Pssh, I'll divide by zero all day. You just need -infinity=infinity (think a number circle instead of a number line), and you're good.
  It's 0/0 where the real crimes begin.
  
  Yep. ∞ is infinitely big in the same way that 0 is infinitely small. -0 = 0 and -∞ = ∞. Opposite ends of the circle. (Or the Riemann sphere if you like complex numbers.)
  
  Use L'Hôpital. Manual in Russian.
- Silly Euclideans

Legend says he divided by zero
- And he even found a value.

  I haz a value.

You probably did meth

Tried to do the funny "58008" on the display didn't you?
- 5318008
  
  55378008

Yeah you can use all the fancy symbols you want but at the end of the day multivariate differential calculus is just addition and multiplication in a funny arrangement, you can't stop me. L'Hopital taught me how to divide by zero and by god I will, damnit.
