It was originally known as "HECKE and Manin". After a short while it was renamed SAGE, which stands for ‘’Software of Algebra and Geometry Experimentation’’. Sage 0.1 was released in 2005 and almost a year later Sage 1.0 was released. It already consisted of Pari, GAP, Singular and Maxima with an interface that rivals that of Mathematica.
a 0 = 1, a 1 = 2, a 2 = 4, a 3 = 8,... The sequence of forward differences is then Δa 0 = a 1 − a 0 = 2 − 1 = 1, Δa 1 = a 2 − a 1 = 4 − 2 = 2, Δa 2 = a 3 − a 2 = 8 − 4 = 4, Δa 3 = a 4 − a 3 = 16 − 8 = 8,... which is just the same sequence. Hence the iterated forward difference sequences all start with Δ n a 0 = 1 for every ...
Emery Molyneux (/ ˈ ɛ m ə r i ˈ m ɒ l ɪ n oʊ / EM-ər-ee MOL-in-oh; died June 1598) was an English Elizabethan maker of globes, mathematical instruments and ordnance. His terrestrial and celestial globes, first published in 1592, were the first to be made in England and the first to be made by an Englishman.
For example, a person's height measured with a tape measure might only be precisely known to the nearest centimeter, so should be presented as 1.62 meters rather than 1.6217 meters. If converted to imperial units, this quantity should be rounded to 64 inches or 63.8 inches rather than 63.7795 inches, to clearly convey the precision of the ...
Communication technologies apply branches of mathematics that may be very old (e.g., arithmetic), especially with respect to transmission security, in cryptography and coding theory. Discrete mathematics is useful in many areas of computer science, such as complexity theory , information theory , and graph theory . [ 138 ]
Compared to a traditional U.S. math curriculum, Singapore math focuses on fewer topics but covers them in greater detail. [3] Each semester-level Singapore math textbook builds upon prior knowledge and skills, with students mastering them before moving on to the next grade.
Computing the k th power of a matrix needs k – 1 times the time of a single matrix multiplication, if it is done with the trivial algorithm (repeated multiplication). As this may be very time consuming, one generally prefers using exponentiation by squaring, which requires less than 2 log 2 k matrix multiplications, and is therefore much more ...
M-learning, or mobile learning, is a form of distance education or technology enhanced active learning where learners use portable devices such as mobile phones to learn anywhere and anytime. The portability that mobile devices provide allows for learning anywhere, hence the term "mobile" in "mobile learning."
