arithmetic - Is multiplication not just repeated addition ...
Sep 14, 2011 · As to multiplication, both addition and multiplication are just some operations that map two elements to one element. I think you can define any operations on a set to be addition or multiplication. As long as the operations respect the laws you get from arithmetic because of the "Principle of Permanence".

arithmetic - 0.5 times 0.5 equals 0.25, but how does this work with ...
Feb 28, 2022 · First, let's do 3 times 0.5, which we'll treat as 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5. But instead of thinking of it happening all at once, imagine we take 3 seconds, and in the first second we move from 0 to 0.5, in the second second we move from 0.5 to 1.0, and in the third second we move from 1.0 to 1.5, and then we're finished and see our answer is 1.5.
Difference between "≈", "≃", and "≅" - Mathematics Stack Exchange
$\cong$ is used to show a congruency between two mathematical expressions, which could be geometrical, topological, and when using modulo arithmetic you can get different numbers that are congruent, e.g., $5 \text{ mod } 3 \cong 11 \text{ mod } 3$ (although this is also written as $\equiv$). In LaTeX it is coded as \cong.
