There is a recent post on my forums and I am totally confused what to say in the answer. Can any one from here have a look on it and answer him. I don't know why people waste their time in thinking these type of things.:mad:

I'm afraid the answer is very simple...

The only form of 'proof' that we humans have is in mathematical formulae. Unless it can be expressed in mathematical terms you can't prove anything.

In our mathematics (the laws of which are obeyed internationally and fully accepted) 2+2=4.

In other words, it is a proof in itself and requires no further proof.

If 2+2 did not =4 then evry bridge and building would collapse or we would still be living in the dark ages.

(Of course, it could be a simple way of getting people to join this other forum?)
:rolleyes:

methinks 1nteger has hit nail squarely on head.

And that, hopefully, is the end of that :)
 
In order to prove that you first have to confirm the assumption that denary numbering is being used (as apposed to hexadecimal or binary for example). We'll make the assumption that we are using the standard number base. We'll also assume that the '+' and '=' symbols represent what we all generally know to be 'plus' (as in addition) and 'equals' (as in 'is equal to' or 'the same value as').
In making those assumptions, then the question pretty much prooves itself.
 
like 1nteger said... its proof in its self!

what else could it be if you want to equal 4 with two 2's
 
In fact as every mathematical forumula have some prove so it should too. One of my uni friend who is doing Phd said "Yes it can be easily proved that 2+2=4.
These are integers and set of integers is a group under binary operation "addition"."


Thanks for all of you people to do comments on this question. I will see how can I satisfy my member.
