[parent] Viewing Correction to 'natural number'

Correction text:

 The set \emptyset has 'zero elements'... this links to the algebraic notion of a zero.

Best,
Flynn
 

Comment from object owner djao:
In the first place, I don't consider the linking to be wrong at all, since the set of natural numbers N is indeed a semigroup under addition, and the element 0 is indeed the zero element of this semigroup (a+0 = 0+a = a for all natural numbers a).

Even if there were a wrong link, I prefer to wait until the site developers install their generalized framework for removing incorrect links (which is under development), rather than spend my time linkescaping every instance of a wrong link that I find.
