ok think of that two as just a pair of 1s combined, then you place another 1 with those pair of 1s, then combined you have a trio of 1s, and that would be 3....

you dont like my answer, then just leave that question to old sages (looks at wise old man from the original legend of zelda)

1+2=3 cannot be logically proven correct, and is considered an axiom in mathematics. Err, it's kinda hard to explain. Just read this god-damn Wikipedia article.

Edit: Im going to learn permutations and combinations in maths this year.. How old are you cptheslayer?

nicely answered. I admire your intelligence or at least your skill in searching for such information.

Yes, 1 + 2 = 3 is true is based on our belief (axiom). It is our belief that 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 and 1 + 1 = 2 and 2 + 1 = 3. The rest of the numbers were also invented or named so that we can work with numbers more easily. We build our number systems based on this axiom. Of course this is not the only axiom. Many other axioms are also important.

Cp, you're in College and taking college Calculus course. You should be able to explain it to your self.

For me 1+2=3 is just logical :)

Calculus does not have anything to do with this 1 + 2 = 3. We all learned to count and learned that 1+1=2 since the first few years after we were born. Of course, for some people still don't know how to count or add at the age of 10 or more.

Can someone explain to me why 1+2=3 is not Logical? This makes my head hurts.

when you talk about logic, it is just what you think is logic. somethign is logic does not have to be true. But something is true is what we try to establish. 1 + 2 = 3 is not logic if 1 + 1 is not 2 and 1 + 1 + 1 is not 3. Thus 2 + 1 is not 3. Learn more about axioms and you will know alot.

Do you ever think that whatever you have learned in school so far is just a lie? They told you to believe what is being taught.

Aww.. What do you learn from school is a lie? If you Psychological class, it's all logical and its a lie too? 1+2=3 is just logical. Well, I stop here, just believe what you believe.
