It's not that it has multiple values like 4^.5, which can be both 2 and -2 and isn't by any means an undefined value.
0/0 is not really 0 (you can't take a nothing of a value). And it's definitely not 1.
0/0 is not really 0 (you can't take a nothing of a value). And it's definitely not 1.

This isn't really true. 0/x=0 when x!=0.

Short answer: you can't divide by zero or infinity. Longer answer: you can if you use Calculus.
