          Nah not anymore, now you spend a day or so building some convoluted excel calculator once so that you never need to do the calcs again.

          Then, 3 years later when you go to add or change something in that calculator, you have absolutely no idea how it works and decide the change wasn’t that important anyway.

        Yeah, define “zero”.

        The one invented on India at around the Middle Age is a different one. The one you are asking about is very old.

        + is a map from N×N to N where a + 0 = a and a + S(b) = S(a + b) (S is the successor function that gives the next number).
        Then 1 + 1 = 1 + S(0) = S(1 + 0) = S(1) = 2.

            No, it’s correct. You define the operation by it’s properties. It’s not saying that “a plus 0 = a” but “the result of applying the binary operation ‘+’ to any number with 0 should give the original number.”

            • is just a symbol. You could instead write it as +(a,0)=a and +(a,S(b))=S(+(a,b)).

            You have to have previously defined 1=S(0), 2=S(1), 3=S(2), and so on.

      I really recommend the YouTube channel “Another Roof”. His first few videos were building up exactly this idea, as well as building up all the real numbers (possibly complex too if I’m remembering correctly). Sounds like a dry topic but he uses humour really well throughout. https://youtube.com/@anotherroof

      Here is a playlist of the topic: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsdeQ7TnWVm_EQG1rmb34ZBYe5ohrkL3t
