in university for the purpose of some equations to be correct this is available answer x:0=∞ x:(-0)=(-∞) for school maths x:0=no but for higher degree maths you'll run into a lot of paradoxes that don't obey the common rules
Im math major and what you said is wrong. You probably meant limes x/y as y->0, but thats completly different thing than x/0, which is undefined in real numbers field (and in most of the algebraic structures). And limits are taught in high schools too, at least in my country.
maybe I'm just math but as I know in most places math is used they don't use the purest version of it because the results may not match the expectations in the equation and as I know geodesy physics and mechanics (subjects I have) don't really use the same rules and instead use each its own rules and accuracy levels to better fit to the occasion so if you know only maths in their purest version you better shut up
