If A is a constant;
is:
A * 0 = A*nothing = A*
Where A* is A multiplyed by the absense of a number.
Think in the following manner...
If you add something to something, something will result
(Example: you have two children now and will be parenting one more)
A+B=C
If you add something to nothing, something will result
(Example: you have no child now and will be parenting one )
A+nothing=A... nothing = 0
If you multiply something by something, something will result
(Example: Both you and your partner are capable of producing a child )
A*B=C
If you multiply something by nothing, nothing will result
(Example: Your partner is capable of producing a child but you are not one )
A*nothing=nothing... nothing = 0
Got the point!!!!!!!!!
Well, you would think the absent (no number present) of a number would be 0.... but if the number is absent -- then there is no symbol... 1, 0, 5, or % that you could use to represent the absence.
The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different ::
Ask a Question. Search > About Us. Prospective Writers And ask lots of questions. Thus in multiplication nothing is markedly different than zero.

But you have to remember... multiplication is a BINARY operation -- it's result is the PRODUCT of TWO numbers... If you only have A, and NOTHING else... then they can't be multiplied.. you have nothing to multiply it with...
Not sure exactly where you're going with this, but that's how I interpreted it.
A * 0 = 0 is a postulate wich does not need to be proven
What is your authority to assume that nothing is defined as 1.0?
NO.
A * 0 = 0 , not A *
Your question indicates an attraction to philosophy
That being said - zero isn't nothing it is rather a quantity
(albeit very small :-) )
Any number (even an unknown one) times zero = zero
As far as A* goes - the * is a binary operator and requires the second operand - so would simply be syntactically incorrect
 This is a graded discussion on the topic differentiation, i need your help please?
