Multiplication and division can also be put into a triangle, such that filling in each corner constitutes an equation. See my comment [0] about the density equation. I suspect such triangles reflect some deeper relation of abstract algebra.

- jerf 10y agoWell, sure, we can put whatever we like in explanatory diagrams. I'm not aware of recognized common mathematical symbols that constitute equations on their own, though. This video did not seem to be proposing a diagramming method, because if that's all it was there wouldn't be any controversy to speak of; it appeared to be proposing a new family of operators. That's what I was criticizing.
