minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 hours agoIt’s the same calculation but you also take a shot of vodka for all integers less than n but greater than 0
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-27 hours agoIntroducing, the signed factorial: ¡n! = n × -(n-1) × (n-2) x -(n-3) x … x (-1)^(n-2)(2) ×(-1)^(n-1)(1)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-23 hours agoI’d prefer an alternative definition that starts with the base case ¡0! = 1, and then for n > 0 we define ¡n! = n * -¡(n-1)!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•3 hours agooop there was a real stupid typo where I forgot the minus sign lmao it’s fixed now

How are you going to flip the signs though?

We did it Lemmy!
Where’s our Nobel prize.

I heard biology branches out.
