Subtraction
"5 − 2 = 3" (verbally, "five minus two equals three") An example problem Subtraction of numbers 0–10. Line labels = minuend. X axis = subtrahend. Performing subtraction is one of the simplest numerical tasks. Basic subtraction: integers[edit] Imagine a line segment of length b with the left end labeled a and the right end labeled c. a + b = c. From c, it takes b steps to the left to get back to a. c − b = a. To subtract arbitrary natural numbers, one begins with a line containing every natural number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...). The solution is to consider the integer number line (..., −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Subtraction as addition[edit] Algorithms for subtraction[edit] There are various algorithms for subtraction, and they differ in their suitability for various applications. For machine calculation, the method of complements is preferred, whereby the subtraction is replaced by an addition in a modular arithmetic.

Addition
3 + 2 =5 with apples, a popular choice in textbooks[1] Addition of numbers 0-10. Line labels = addend. X axis = addend. Y axis = sum. Performing addition is one of the simplest numerical tasks. Notation and terminology[edit] The plus sign Addition is written using the plus sign "+" between the terms; that is, in infix notation. (verbally, "one plus one equals two") (verbally, "two plus two equals four") (verbally, "three plus three equals six") (see "associativity" below) (see "multiplication" below) There are also situations where addition is "understood" even though no symbol appears: Columnar addition: 5 + 12 = 17 The numbers or the objects to be added in general addition are called the terms, the addends, or the summands; this terminology carries over to the summation of multiple terms. Redrawn illustration from The Art of Nombryng, one of the first English arithmetic texts, in the 15th century[5] Interpretations[edit] Addition is used to model countless physical processes.

Multiplication
Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. In the above animation, we see 2 being multiplied by 3, giving 6 as a result 4 × 5 = 20, the rectangle is composed of 20 squares, having dimensions of 4 by 5. Area of a cloth 4.5m × 2.5m = 11.25m2; 4½ × 2½ = 11¼ The multiplication of two whole numbers is equivalent to the addition of one of them with itself as many times as the value of the other one; for example, 3 multiplied by 4 (often said as "3 times 4") can be calculated by adding 4 copies of 3 together: Here 3 and 4 are the "factors" and 12 is the "product". One of the main properties of multiplication is that the result does not depend on the place of the factor that is repeatedly added to itself (commutative property). 3 multiplied by 4 can also be calculated by adding 3 copies of 4 together: The multiplication of integers (including negative numbers), rational numbers (fractions) and real numbers is defined by a systematic generalization of this basic definition.

The Writing Notebook
Checklist for character development.Created by myself, compiled from questions gleaned from several sources, and some of my own additions.It should be noted, that not every character will check every one of these things off. It is not REQUIRED to have all this information, but this checklist is, rather, a guideline for helping you think of your character as an entire, three dimentional being with thoughts, feelings, possessions, contradictions and background.A character is 20% revealed to the reader, 80% writer/author/Mun knowledge. What the Reader sees is just the tip of the iceburg, but without the other 80% the character can’t help but come off feeling shallow. I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Mathematics
Field of study Mathematics (from Greek: μάθημα, máthēma, 'knowledge, study, learning') includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory),[1] structure (algebra),[2] space (geometry),[1] and change (analysis).[3][4][5] It has no generally accepted definition.[6][7] Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements.[10] Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932), David Hilbert (1862–1943), and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary to view mathematical research as establishing truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Mathematics developed at a relatively slow pace until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that has continued to the present day.

55 Types of Poetry Forms
This article contains the many different poem types. These include all known (at least to my research) forms that poems may take. If you wish to read more about poetry, these articles might interest you: poetry technique and poetry definition. A poem that has five lines and creates a mood, picture, or feeling. Lines 1 through 4 are made up of words, phrases or clauses while the first word of each line is in alphabetical order. Acrostic Poetry that certain letters, usually the first in each line form a word or message when read in a sequence. Article continues below... Ballad A poem that tells a story similar to a folk tale or legend which often has a repeated refrain. Ballade Poetry which has three stanzas of seven, eight or ten lines and a shorter final stanza of four or five. Blank verse A poem written in unrhymed iambic pentameter and is often unobtrusive. Bio A poem written about one self's life, personality traits, and ambitions. Burlesque Poetry that treats a serious subject as humor. Lay
Poem Types: A List of Poetry Forms | Poetry Styles | Poetry Types
One thing I really appreciate about poetry is that there are a vast array of poetry styles and poetry forms available to poets. While some are traditional rhyming poems (such as sonnets or limericks), there are also many other poem types, including free verse poems, sestinas, and the shadorma. Before this blog moved to its new WordPress platform, I had a post that collected all the poem types explained on Poetic Asides. Connect with me on Twitter and Facebook.
