Earliest Known Uses of Some of the Words of Mathematics (P) Last revision: Mar. 11, 2003 p-ADIC INTEGER was coined by Kurt Hensel (1861-1941) (Katz, page 824). P-VALUE and prob-value. David (1995) discusses the difficulties in dating P -value, the idea of which goes back to Laplaceat leastbefore opting for a reference from 1960! Subsequently David (1998) chose W. E. Deming's Statistical Adjustment of Data of 1943. When Deming wrote the phrase "value of P " was current. It was used in Karl Pearson's (1900) "On the Criterion that a Given System of Deviations from the Probable in the Case of Correlated System of Variables is such that it can be Reasonably Supposed to have Arisen from Random Sampling" ( Philosophical Magazine , 157-175) and very prominently in R. A. Fisher's Statistical Methods for Research Workers (1925). In recent discussions the use of P -values (or prob-values) is often set against the use of fixed significance levels, especially 5%. It is ironical then that the "value of P " should be such a feature of Fisher's book when that work did so much to popularise the 5% level. [John Aldrich] PAIRWISE.

73. Antichi Sistemi Di Domificazione Translate this page Circa nel 150 avanti Cristo, il matematico greco hypsicles scrisse un breve trattatochiamato Paul of alexandria, Pauli Alexandrini Elementa Apotelesmatica, Ed http://www.levante.org/Pinneri/Italian/Antique/Holden.htm

Antichi sistemi di domificazione James H. Holden (trad. Rocco Pinneri I testi recenti sul tema della domificazione (Holden, «Elementi di domificazione», Lorenz, «Strumenti astrologici: le case»), non hanno trattato adeguatamente la sua storia più antica. Questo articolo discute brevemente la storia delle sue origini e delinea lo sviluppo delle case e dei sistemi di domificazione nell'età classica. Origine dell'astrologia oroscopica decani). Perciò, conoscendo l'asterismo sorgente, diventò possibile conoscere il segno corrispondente. Possiamo ragionevolmente dedurre che questi asterismi non avessero alcun significato astrologico, perchè solo due degli oroscopi su papiro (GH 81 e 95) ne fanno menzione, ed anche questi senza dare alcuna interpretazione del loro significato. Gli astronomi babilonesi osservavano il reale sorgere dei segni e calcolavano due differenti, anche se simili, tavole di ascensione per la latitudine di Babilonia, usando metodi ingegnosi di progressione numerica, oggi, questi due metodi sono chiamati sistema A e sistema B. Le ascensioni secondo il sistema A sembrano essere state preferite dagli alessandrini. Questa è la tavola (Neugebauer, HAMA, I, 368): Ariete Pesci Toro Acquario Gemelli Capricorno Cancro Sagittario Leone Scorpione Vergine Bilancia Questa tabella è entrata probabilmente a far parte della letteratura astrologica della Grecia antica, perchè riappare nelle opere di scrittori più tardi che ancora avevano accesso agli antichi trattati.

The Mathematics Educator Volume 1, Number 1 The Historical Development of the Concept of Angle This article will present a historical account of the development of the concept of angle in an effort to understand the ways in which mathematicians conceived angle, the properties that they attributed to the concept, and the problems they felt were solved and unsolved by their research. It is not the purpose of this paper to search for the mathematically correct way to define angle, or to refute the concepts of the several mathematicians who expressed their opinions about the angle. Angles and Directions in Neolithic Cultures Although the concept of angle seems to have originated only in recent times, ancient cultures had means to solve problems that related to angles. One of them is the movement of the stars and planets that many cultures investigated as a way to predict seasonal changes of the weather, to predict the future, or to know when it was time to conduct their rituals. Alignments of neolithic or paleolithic monuments with the summer solstice and other celestial events have been reported by archaeologists and astronomers. The megalithic culture that flourished in the British Isles produced stone circles fit for astronomical observations, the most famous being the one at Stonehenge (Hicks, 1984). Also archaeological medicine wheels left by the ancestors of the Plains Indians seemed to have been used to predict the time of the sundance ceremony (Eddy, 1980). The Bighorn medicine wheel, that can be found in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, has a diameter of 27 meters. In the center, there is a cairn from which radiate 28 spokes. Along the periphery, there are six other cairns. Archaeologists assume that this monument had the following function:

The Time Diophantus Lived How did the time and place which he lived affect his ability to explore the world of mathematics? Diophantus lived in Alexandria, Egypt in about 250 AD. I think the place; Alexandria, that Diophantus lived greatly affected his ability to explore the world of mathematics. The place has an interesting history that paved the way for many Greek intellects to explore different areas, including mathematics. Alexandria is mentioned in a poem all the way back to Homer's Odyssey. The poem reads: "Now off Egypt About as far as a ship can sail in a day With a good stiff breeze behind her There is an island called Pharos It has a good harbor From which vessels can get out into open sea When they have taken in water." Where and when did Diophantus live? What were the main studies in Diophantus's time? If Diophantus lived in a more recent time, many changes that have taken place since he lived would affect his invention. If he lived in about 1994 it might be easier to invent what he invented because there are more appliances to help him. For example, he could use a calculator to solve his problems faster. He could check himself on sub-totals to catch small mistakes. Another reason that his invention might have changed was that and negative numbers were invented long after he died. When he did his work, scholars thought negative numbers didn’t make sense. They asked: how could one have a negative number of books? Negative numbers would have changed his work because he believed that x, the mystery number, had only one correct answer. In fact, negative numbers often provide a second correct answer to a problem. He would probably go to college where he could take courses on algebra. When do you think Diophantus should have lived?

Apollonius of Perga Born: about 262 BC in Perga, Pamphylia, Greek Ionia (now Murtina, Antalya, Turkey) Died: about 190 BC in Alexandria, Egypt Apollonius of Perga was known as 'The Great Geometer'. Little is known of his life but his works have had a very great influence on the development of mathematics, in particular his famous book Conics introduced terms which are familiar to us today such as parabola , ellipse and hyperbola Apollonius of Perga should not be confused with other Greek scholars called Apollonius, for it was a common name. In [1] details of others with the name of Apollonius are given: Apollonius of Rhodes, born about 295 BC, a Greek poet and grammarian, a pupil of Callimachus who was a teacher of Eratosthenes ; Apollonius of Tralles, 2nd century BC, a Greek sculptor; Apollonius the Athenian, 1st century BC, a sculptor; Apollonius of Tyana, 1st century AD, a member of the society founded by Pythagoras; Apollonius Dyscolus, 2nd century AD, a Greek grammarian who was reputedly the founder of the systematic study of grammar; and Apollonius of Tyre who is a literary character. The mathematician Apollonius was born in Perga, Pamphylia which today is known as Murtina, or Murtana and is now in Antalya, Turkey. Perga was a centre of culture at this time and it was the place of worship of Queen Artemis, a nature goddess. When he was a young man Apollonius went to Alexandria where he studied under the followers of Euclid

Encyclopedia hypothalamus [h I u u m u s] Pronunciation Key hypothalamus , an important supervisory center in the brain , rich in ganglia, nerve fibers, and synaptic connections. It is composed of several sections called nuclei, each of which controls a specific function. The hypothalamus regulates body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, and sugar levels in the blood. Through direct attachment to the pituitary gland , the hypothalamus also meters secretions controlling water balance and milk production in the female. The role of the hypothalamus in awareness of pleasure and pain has been well established in the laboratory. It is thought to be involved in the expression of emotions, such as fear and rage, and in sexual behaviors. Despite its numerous vital functions, the hypothalamus in humans accounts for only 1/300 of total brain weight, and is about the size of an almond. Structurally, it is joined to the thalamus ; the two work together to monitor the sleep-wake cycle. hypostyle Hypsicles of Alexandria AD AD AD AD AD Print this page Cite this page Awards and Press Link to Fact Monster Add Fact Monster search ...
