שלום
יש לי שאלה בקישורי הפורום מצאתי את הפסקה הבאה: Even the small details of Homer's new dimension are mathematically interesting. For example, since the equation 178212 +184112=192212 flies by Homer, students are led through reasons why it is incorrect. Notice that the left hand side of this equation is odd since it is a sum of an even number and an odd number, while the right hand side is even. Also, it is an apparent counterexample to Fermat's Last Theorem, which we had discussed earlier in the semester. On the final exam, I ask students to calculate the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation on their calculator. Most brands of calculators will show that the sides are equal. Students are then asked to resolve the apparent contradiction. השאלה שלי היא: איך באמת ניתן לישב את הסתירה? האם זה קשור לעובדה שהמחשבונים מעגלים את התוצאות שלהם?
