Delta (letter) A river delta (originally, the Nile River delta) is so named because its shape approximates the upper-case letter delta (the shape is a triangle).
Despite a popular legend, this use of the word delta was not coined by Herodotus.[2] In Ancient Greek, delta represented a voiced dental plosive /d/. Zero. Historical scientists categorize the types of number systems peoples use, much the same way philologists break down languages into "analytic," "agglutinative," "inflectional," etc.
The path that leads to the discovery of "0" lies only in the most advanced type of number system, which is called "positional" because the value of a character depends on its position. Our modern way of counting is positional. The base figure "5" has a different value in 514 and in 145, determined by its position. The Romans, Greeks, Hebrews (and Aztecs and pre-Islamic Arabs and a great many others) used an "additive" system, which is fundamentally a transcription of counting.
A Roman "V" meant "five" and that's all it could mean. Positional systems have certain features in common. Fractals. LogicKo. Language in Life. List of mathematical symbols. When reading the list, it is important to recognize that a mathematical concept is independent of the symbol chosen to represent it.
For many of the symbols below, the symbol is usually synonymous with the corresponding concept (ultimately an arbitrary choice made as a result of the cumulative history of mathematics), but in some situations a different convention may be used. For example, depending on context, the triple bar "≡" may represent congruence or a definition. Further, in mathematical logic, numerical equality is sometimes represented by "≡" instead of "=", with the latter representing equality of well-formed formulas. In short, convention dictates the meaning. Each symbol is shown both in HTML, whose display depends on the browser's access to an appropriate font installed on the particular device, and in TeX, as an image.
Guide[edit] This list is organized by symbol type and is intended to facilitate finding an unfamiliar symbol by its visual appearance. Basic symbols[edit] Approximation. An approximation is anything that is similar but not exactly equal to something else.
The term can be applied to various properties (e.g. value, quantity, image, description) that are nearly but not exactly correct; similar, but not exactly the same e.g. The approximate time was 10 o'clock. In science, approximation can refer to using a simpler process or model when the correct model is difficult to use. Equals approximately (=~) New Sciences. SCIENCE. Why isn't the U.S. on the metric system? - HowStuffWorks. Many myths swirl around the metric system and U.S. involvement with it.

Research Rundowns. .pdf version of this page As you read educational research, you’ll encounter t-test (t) and ANOVA (F) statistics frequently.
Hopefully, you understand the basics of (statistical) significance testing as related to the null hypothesis and p values, to help you interpret results. If not, see the Significance Testing (t-tests) review for more information. In this class, we’ll consider the difference between statistical significance and practical significance, using a concept called effect size. The “Significance” Issue Most statistical measures used in educational research rely on some type of statistical significance measure to authenticate results.
Cohensd.xls. University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Cohen's d. Cohen's d is an effect size used to indicate the standardised difference between two means.
It can be used, for example, to accompany reporting of t-test and ANOVA results. It is also widely used in meta-analysis. Cohen's d is an appropriate effect size for the comparison between two means.

Imagine a day without numbers — how would you know when to wake up, how to call your mother, how the stock market is doing, or even how old you are? We live our lives by numbers. Ancient Egyptian Numbers. Egyptian Numbers --- Introduction --- Addition --- Multiplication --- Fractions Enter a number from 1 to 9999999 to see how the Egyptians would have written it, or enter a number to count with. In the Arabic number system, we have ten digits (from 0-9) and we can make as big a number as we want with these.
We use all ten digits to count to nine, then we combine them to make bigger numbers. List of things named after Leonhard Euler. In mathematics and physics, there are a large number of topics named in honor of Leonhard Euler, many of which include their own unique function, equation, formula, identity, number (single or sequence), or other mathematical entity. Unfortunately, many of these entities have been given simple and ambiguous names such as Euler's function, Euler's equation, and Euler's formula.
