------------------------------------------------- Prime number A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number is called a composite number. For example 5 is prime‚ as only 1 and 5 divide it‚ whereas 6 is composite‚ since it has the divisors 2 and 3 in addition to 1 and 6. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic establishes the central role of primes in number theory: any integer greater than

assessment in 2011 and 2012 STELLAR NUMBERS SL TYPE I Aim: In this task you will consider geometric shapes which lead to special numbers. The simplest example of these are square numbers‚ 1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ which can be represented by squares of side 1‚ 2‚ 3 and 4. The following diagrams show a triangular pattern of evenly spaced dots. The numbers of dots in each diagram are examples of triangular numbers (1‚3‚6‚)…. 1 3 6 10 15 Complete the triangular numbers sequence with three more terms. Find

literature for children each year. Upon reading “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry‚ the Newbery Medal winner in 1990‚ one can easily understand why this great novel won the coveted John Newbery Medal. There are many reasons as to why “Number the Stars” obtained the Newbery Medal but two main reasons stick out: The use of italics as a descriptive device‚ and the central theme pertaining to the difficulties of growing up. Firstly‚ Lois Lowry’s “Number the Stars” focuses on Annemarie Johansen‚ a young

History of imaginary numbers I is an imaginary number‚ it is also the only imaginary number. But it wasn’t just created it took a long time to convince mathematicians to accept the new number. Over time I was created. This also includes complex numbers‚ which are numbers that have both real and imaginary numbers and people now use I in everyday math. I was created because everyone needed it. At first the square root of a negative number was thought to be impossible. However‚ mathematicians soon

the imaginary land of numbers… Yes‚ numbers! I bet that would’ve never come to mind. Which brings me to the question: Who thought of them and why? In 50 A.D.‚ Heron of Alexandria studied the volume of an impossible part of a pyramid. He had to find √(81-114) which‚ back then‚ was insolvable. Heron soon gave up. For a very long time‚ negative radicals were simply deemed “impossible”. In the 1500’s‚ some speculation began to arise again over the square root of negative numbers. Formulas for solving

Abstract A complex number is a number that can be written in the form of a+bi where a and b are real numbers and i is the value of the square root of negative one. In the form a + bi‚ a is considered the real part and the bi is considered the imaginary part. The goal of this project is show how the use of complex numbers originates in the history of mathematics. Introduction Complex numbers are very important component of mathematics. They enable us to solve any polynomial equation of degree

Real Number Properties In this assignment we were asked to solve three expressions using the properties of real numbers in order to do so. Each of the real number properties are essential in solving algebraic expressions. Although you may not need to use all of them in the same expression to solve you will need to use at least one. In this paper I will demonstrate the use of the properties and show the steps needed to solve each part of an expression. Understanding the properties of algebra

Tellurium Many historians believed that Franz Joseph Müller von Reichstein was born around 1740’s to 1742 in the Habsburg Empire‚ which later became known as the Austro-Hungary Empire. Müller had many different positions in the Austria-Hungary administration; but he’s most known for being a mineralogist and skilled miner. He started his rode to success by becoming a Markscheider (official mine surveyor)‚ which then lead him to become an Hüttenwerke (royal commission for mining in the Banat). These

How do deaf people use telephones? What about doorbells and alarm clocks? There are many everyday devises that we hearing people take for granted‚ among these are telephones‚ smoke alarms‚ doorbells‚ and alarm clocks. When we look at how members of the deaf community use these everyday items we must consider that members within the community have very different communication needs‚ abilities‚ and preferences. Hard-of-hearing people for example can use a standard telephone with the addition of a
