Egyptian mathematics was dominated by arithmetic‚ with an emphasis on measurement and calculation in geometry. With their vast knowledge of geometry‚ they were able to correctly calculate the areas of triangles‚ rectangles‚ and trapezoids and the volumes of figures such as bricks‚ cylinders‚ and pyramids. They were also able to build the Great Pyramid

In Mathematics‚ a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. Periodic functions are used throughout science to describe oscillations‚ waves‚ and other phenomena that exhibit periodicity. Periodic functions are those that repeat on a set interval. All trigonometric functions are periodic. They are useful because one can determine the value of the function anywhere in the domain. If a function is periodic‚ then there is some value n for which

Part A Q2-Maths Assignment 2012‚ Mrs Pillai Lvl 1 Irrational numbers are numbers that are neither whole numbers nor ratios of whole numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers in the sense that they appear in measurements of geometric objects--for example‚ the number pi (II). However‚ irrational numbers cannot be represented as decimals‚ unlike rational numbers‚ which can be expressed either as finite decimals or as infinite decimals that eventually follow a repeating pattern. By contrast‚ irrational
