I can rearrange the numbers to do division first... If they're both multiplied by 0, I'd say the statement reads 0=0 and leave it at that. There is no infinity in either case. On top of that, 0/0 could be anything in C. Also, the taylor series for e (and sin and cos probably, along with others, I really haven't thought about it) needs 0/0 to be 1 to work. Oh, and TI-89s replace 0/0 with 1... ???
