INTRODUCTION The Babylonians used a sexagesimal (base 60) numeral system to make astronomical calculations‚ from which the use of 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour is derived. I will research how the Babylonians used this system to measure time. I have chosen the topic Babylonian time system as it relates history and math. I find it fascinating how in the past‚ people had to come up with elaborate theories and intricate systems from scratch‚ as compared to how modern day mathematicians

Determining the Acceleration Due to Gravity with a Simple Pendulum Quintin T. Nethercott and M. Evelynn Walton Department of Physics‚ University of Utah‚ Salt Lake City‚ 84112‚ UT‚ USA (Dated: March 6‚ 2013) Using a simple pendulum the acceleration due to gravity in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ USA was found to be (9.8 +/- .1) m/s2 . The model was constructed with the square of the period of oscillations in the small angle approximation being proportional to the length of the pendulum. The model was supported

Divisibility by 7: Now we will study divisibility by 7. One book on speed arithmetic says that these tests are just too complicated‚ and you should just divide by 7. I agree to some extent‚ but my calculator still will not let me enter really large numbers. One interesting way (found in some books) is to take the two left-most digits‚ multiply the left digit by 3 and add it to the second digit. Replace these two digits with the result. Then we can keep repeating‚ always dealing with only the two

University of Phoenix HCR/220 Describing CPT Coding Categories Check Point BreAwna Ingram June 21‚ 2012 Describing CPT Coding Categories The CPT codes have three categories‚ starting with Category I‚ then Category II‚ and Category III. There are key words associated with these three code categories which include “common‚” “optional‚” and “temporary‚” these key words help to make the coding process easier for employees to understand. Common codes are referred to when using Category I

Contents We have seen an example of use of finite automata in describing the operation of a simplified version of vending machine. Many other systems operating in practice can also be modeled by finite automata such as control circuits of computers‚ computer network communication protocols‚ lexical analysers for compilers etc. Many of those systems fall into the class of systems called reactive system. A reactive system is a system that changes its actions‚ outputs and conditions/status in response
