Hi Mitar,

I understand that proper mathematical behavior would be that as 0/0 is mathematically undefined that 0/0 cannot be even compared to 1.
My understanding is that common mathematical practice is that comparing an undefined value to anything (including itself) always yields false; "x /= x" is sometimes used to formalize "x is undefined." If you have access to JSTOR, this article contains an overview of different fields' perspectives on dealing with undefinedness: http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0022-4812(199009)55%3A3%3C1269%3AAPFVOC%3E2... - Benja
