Addition and multplication are the same. 2+2 = 2x2 QED.


Try it with a number other than 2.



Lemma: exponentiation is the same too. 2^2 = 2x2 = 2+2. BFD.


Let's get your basic arithmetic up to speed before we move on.



And zeros have a big effect on addition. 20+2 is not the same as 2+2, and
the only difference is that piddly zero.


20 is not the same as 2.
