There's nothing wrong at all with the multitude of
mathematical conventions that have been passed along
through textbooks and courses. Those conventions are
necessary and helpful, including the "Division-by-zero-is-
undefined" one.
However, there is such a thing as the "perceptual primitive,"
which I have explained elsewhere, and I find every argument
that "Division by zero is undefined" to be in violation of
the perceptual primitive. Discussion adjourned. *gavel sound*
