    The use of S (as in VIIS to indicate 7 1 ⁄ 2) is attested in some ancient inscriptions [45] and also in the now rare apothecaries' system (usually in the form SS): [44] but while Roman numerals for whole numbers are essentially decimal, S does not correspond to 5 ⁄ 10, as one might expect, but 6 ⁄ 12.

    The accompaniment performers translate the Roman numerals to the specific chords that would be used in a given key. In the key of E major, the diatonic chords are: E maj7 becomes I maj7 (also I ∆7, or simply I) F ♯ m 7 becomes II m7 (also II −7, II min7, IIm, or II −) G ♯ m 7 becomes III m7 (also III −7, III min7, IIIm, or III −)

Complex numbers ( C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } ): Includes real numbers, imaginary numbers, and sums and differences of real and imaginary numbers.

  5. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    Euler's identity is considered an exemplar of mathematical beauty, as it shows a profound connection between the most fundamental numbers in mathematics. In addition, it is directly used in a proof [ 3 ] [ 4 ] that π is transcendental , which implies the impossibility of squaring the circle .

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1]

    For example, the rhetorical form of + = is "The thing plus one equals two" or possibly "The thing plus 1 equals 2". [citation needed] The ancient Egyptians numerated by hieroglyphics. [12] [13] Egyptian mathematics had symbols for one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and one million. Smaller digits were ...
