logical math

In this post I will use the ^ to represent raised to whatever power follows it.


Logically one can not say that 10^0 is equal to zero, 10^1 is equal to one and
then 10^2 is equal to one hundred. That would be saying that 10^0 means 10
times zero and that 10^1 means ten times one then jumping to 10^2 means ten
times ten. That is illogical.

What the math should actually be is 10^0 = 10 and 10^1 = 100 then 10^2 = 1000.
The power symbol would then represent how many times the number is multiplied
by itself. This then would be logical.

Using this logic then would also mean that 10^-1 (ten to the negative first
power) = 1. As the power symbol would then represent how many times the number
is divided by itself. Again this would be logical.

Maybe this will also help to wipe out some of the pseudoscientific claims.

Definition of power of a number is how many times 1 is multiplied by the
number. So, perfectly logically, 10^-1=.1, 10^0=1 and 10^1=10.

Who is claiming that 10^0 is equal to zero???

I'm OK with the current system.

10^9 = billion = 10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10 (count the 9 tens)
10^6 = million = 10x10x10x10x10x10 (count the 6 tens)

10^0 is forced to take the value of 1 to preserve exponential division
and multiplication.

The new rules of exponential division and multiplication:

"10^a"/"10^b" = "10^(a-b-1)"
""10^a"*"10^b" = "10^(a+b+1)"

New rules in calculus, complex analysis, and fractional exponents in
effect.

From sci.math, I was told that the notation would change, but the
rules would stay the same.

And it would be tricky to express (((x^n/x^m)
/ (x^y / x^z)) / (((x^p/x^q) / (x^r / x^s)) in the new notation.
