ever thought how this world of mathematics would be without irrational numbers? If the great Pythagorean hyppasus or any other mathematician would have not ever thought of such numbers? Before ‚understanding the development of irrational numbers ‚we should understand what these numbers originally are and who discovered them? In mathematics‚ an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b‚ where a and b are integers and b is non-zero. Irrational numbers are those real

3 is a number‚ numeral‚ and glyph. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4. In mathematics Three is approximately π when doing rapid engineering guesses or estimates. The same is true if one wants a rough-and-ready estimate of e‚ which is actually approximately 2.71828. Three is the first odd prime number‚ and the second smallest prime. It is both the first Fermat prime and the first Mersenne prime‚ the only number that is both‚ as well as the first lucky prime. However‚ it is

Counting Number : Is number we can use for counting things: 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ 4‚ 5‚ ... (and so on). Does not include zero; does not include negative numbers; does not include fraction (such as 6/7 or 9/7); does not include decimals (such as 0.87 or 1.9) Whole numbers : The numbers {0‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ ...} There is no fractional or decimal part; and no negatives: 5‚ 49 and 980. Integers : Include the negative numbers AND the whole numbers. Example: {...‚ -3‚ -2‚ -1‚ 0‚ 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ ...} Rational numbers: It can

writing. More generally‚ people think of cryptography as the art of mangling information into apparent unintelligibility in a manner allowing a secret method of unmangling. The basic service provided by cryptography is the ability to send information between participants in a way that prevents others from reading it. In this book we will concentrate on the kind of cryptography that is based on representing information as numbers and mathematically manipulating those numbers. This kind of cryptography

In today’s society‚ parents are challenged with the ability of children to grow faster than ever before. Tweens are moving closer and closer to teens‚ and fulfill these adult-like roles. The media plays a major part in this dilemma‚ along with the need to fulfill major responsibilities‚ and the lack of family presence. The media is one of the biggest proprietors when discussing the state that our children are in‚ and why they’re unable to play children roles. It’s not hard for a child to

of this task is to investigate geometric shapes‚ which lead to special numbers. The simplest example of these are square numbers‚ such as 1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ which can be represented by squares of side 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4. Triangular numbers are defined as “the number of dots in an equilateral triangle uniformly filled with dots”. The sequence of triangular numbers are derived from all natural numbers and zero‚ if the following number is always added to the previous as shown below‚ a triangular number will

INDEX NUMBER Introduction Sebuah index menunjukkan perubahan relatif yang terjadi pada sebuah nilai dari satu periode ke periode yang lain. Kegunaan index‚ misalnya pada Consumer Price Index‚ adalah mengukur perubahan harga pada suatu kelompok besar dari barang-barang yang dibeli konsumen. Simple Index Numbers Angka index adalah suatu angka yang menunjukkan perubahan relatif pada harga‚ jumlah‚ atau nilai dibandingkan dengan suatu base period. Jika angka index yang digunakan untuk mengukur

A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio of two integers. The decimal of a rational number will either repeat or terminate. There is a way to tell in advance whether a rational number’s decimal representation will repeat or terminate. When trying to find a pattern in the relationship between rational numbers and their decimals‚ it is best to start with a list. A random list of rational numbers and their decimal values was made in order to find a pattern. The list included ½‚ 5/6

Graham’s number‚ named after Ronald Graham‚ is a large number that is an upper bound on the solution to a certain problem in Ramsey theory. The number gained a degree of popular attention when Martin Gardner described it in the "Mathematical Games" section of Scientific American in November 1977‚ writing that‚ "In an unpublished proof‚ Graham has recently established ... a bound so vast that it holds the record for the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof."

Cardinal numbers: Definition‚ Examples Cardinal numbers We know that‚ the relation in sets defined by A~ B is an equivalence relation. Hence by fundamental theorem on equivalence relation‚ all sets are partitioned into disjoint classes of equivalent sets. Thus for any set A‚ equivalence class of A‚ [A] = { B | B ~ A } Result: - (1) [A] = [B] or [A] ∩ [B] = ∅ ‚ that is for any two sets‚ either they have same equivalence classes or totally disjoint equivalence classes.
