Why does 0! = 1 0! = 1? All I know of factorial is that x! x! is equal to the product of all the numbers that come before it. The product of 0 and anything is 0 0, and seems like it would be
Is there a consensus in the mathematical community, or some accepted authority, to determine whether zero should be classified as a natural number? It seems as though formerly $0$ was
As for the simplified versions of the above laws, the same can be said for 00 = 0 0 0 = 0, so this cannot be a justification for defining 00 = 1 0 0 = 1. 00 0 0 is ambiguous in the same way that

Qamp;A for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields
My daughter is stuck on the concept that $$2^0 = 1,$$ having the intuitive expectation that it be equal to zero. I have tried explaining it, but I guess not well enough. How would you explain the
.After looking in my book for a couple of hours, I'm still confused about what it means for a (n n) (n n) -matrix A A to have a determinant equal to zero, det(A) = 0 det (A)
