I don't think math is so bad.  It can get annoying when people complain about it.  

But I'd have to brush up before I could give an answer with any confidence.

why do you say "in calculus?"

0 divided 0 is undefined no matter what realm of mathematics you're studying

I voted "indeterminate" because you said "in calculus" but really I'm pretty sure that only applies when it's something limiting at zero, not actually zero.  0/0 on its own is undefined; it doesn't mean anything.  Also, your "proof" is not a proof at all.

Wikipedia article.

alright, well you're right he should have said something like

f'(x) = 0/0

i put indeterminant because 0 times any number = 0 so 0 divided by 0 can be any number. just a logical hypothesis.

Undefined. You can't divide things by 0. Calculus? I learn that in the 8th grade

The whole "Calculus?" thing is probably why you don't actually know what anyone's talking about.
