The numbers are overwhelming: Over the next 17 years‚ 350 million rural residents (more than the entire U.S. population today) will leave the farm and move to China’s cities. That will bring the Chinese urban population from just under 600 million today to close to 1 billion‚ changing China into a country where more than two-thirds of its people are city dwellers‚ says Jonathan Woetzel‚ a director in McKinsey’s Shanghai office. The change will reverse China’s centuries-old identity as a largely rural

&ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBERS After reading this section you will be able to do the following: * Define and determine the atomic number of an atom. * Define and determine the mass number of an atom. What is an atom’s atomic number? The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines an element’s atomic number. In other words‚ each element has a unique number that identifies how many protons are in one atom of that element. For example‚ all hydrogen atoms‚ and only hydrogen atoms

In addition‚ stating that the square of rational numbers if being positive will be a square number. Book II explains how to basically represent in three simple methods. The methods are that if the square number is present whenever the squares of two rational numbers are being added; the addition of two new squares is the same thing as if adding two well-known squares; and if the rational number is given will be equal to their difference. The first and the third problem

Perfect numbers Mathematicians have been fascinated for millenniums by the properties and patterns of numbers. They have noticed that some numbers are equal to the sum of all of their factors (not including the number itself). Such numbers are called perfect numbers. A perfect number is a whole number‚ an integer greater than zero and is the sum of its proper positive devisors‚ that is‚ the sum of the positive divisors excluding the number itself. Equivalently‚ a perfect number is a number that is

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.
