HISTORY OF LOGARITHMS 1ST SOURCE: (sosmath.com) Logarithms were invented independently by John Napier‚ a Scotsman‚ and by Joost Burgi‚ a Swiss. The logarithms which they invented differed from each other and from the common and natural logarithms now in use. Napier’s logarithms were published in 1614; Burgi’s logarithms were published in 1620. The objective of both men was to simplify mathematical calculations. Napier’s approach was algebraic and Burgi’s approach was geometric. Neither

This essay will argue that the relationship between Ben and Gus in The Dumbwaiter is one that is exceedingly unbalanced rooted in a quest for power whereby Ben‚ assumes the role of superior and Gus the subordinate. Their relationship appears void of emotion and solitude‚ yet both characters are interdependent on the other to certify their very existence. It can be argued that Ben and Gus’s assume their identities in relation to the other; Ben essentially assumes the role of the master and Gus the

Vincent Rafael P. Violago 1BSBA2 ACADEMIC READINGS The Triune Brain The first of our three brains to evolve is what scientists call the reptilian cortex. This brain sustains the elementary activities of animal survival such as respiration‚ adequate rest and a beating heart. We are not required to consciously “think” about these activities. The reptilian cortex also houses the “startle centre”‚ a mechanism that facilitates swift reactions to unexpected occurrences in our surroundings. That panicked

1 Class X: Maths Chapter 2: Polynomials Top Concepts: 1. The graph of a polynomial p(x) of degree n can intersects or touch the x axis at atmost n points. 2. 3. 4. A polynomial of degree n has at most n distinct real zeroes. The zero of the polynomial p(x) satisfies the equation p(x) = 0. For any linear polynomial ax + b‚ zero of the polynomial will be given by the expression (-b/a). 5. The number of real zeros of the polynomial is the number of times its graph touches or intersects x axis. 6. 7
