Introduction to bookkeeping and accounting

...2 x 1, 3 x 1, etc., the ‘power’ of two means that a number is multiplied by itself twice, i.e., 2 x 2, 3 x 3, etc. In mathematics, however, instead of writing 3 x 3 we write 3 2 and express this as three to the ‘power’ or ‘order’ of 2.) Brackets are the first term used in BODMAS and should always be used to avoid any possibility of ambiguity or...

Isothermal precision forging

...2 s-1. Component is removed from the dies after forging. It is then cleaned, minimal machining such as drilling holes is done, then finally it is heat treated. Manufacture: Slower than conventional forging (10–103 s-1) due to slower strain rate required (10-2–10-3 s-1). Die sets are expensive due to the use of expensive high temperature materials, such as Cronite...

Rings and polynomials

...2 and 3 define polynomial rings where the coefficients of the polynomials are elements from a given field. Section 3 develops results concerning the divisibility of polynomials...This free course contains an introduction to rings and polynomials. We see that polynomial rings have many properties in common with the integers; for example, we can define a division algorithm,...

Introduction to active galaxies

...2 you will learn how spectroscopy can be used to distinguish different kinds of galaxy and to measure their properties. Section 3 then introduces the four main classes of active galaxies and describes how they can be recognized. Section 4 examines the evidence for the existence of black holes at the centres of active galaxies, and in Section 5 you will study a simple...

John Napier

...2 study in Mathematics...This free course looks at Scotsman John Napier (1550-1617) and his invention which radically altered the course of mathematics. Napier dabbled in mathematics for over 40 years and near the end of his life he introduced his tables of logarithms which drastically reduced the work needed to do complicated calculations, such as those required in...

...2. [Described image] Figure 2 The relationship between distance and redshift from a compilation of supernova measurements made by different surveys The Hubble constant therefore measures the rate of expansion over a fixed distance: observers at any location at the current time will measure that, over a distance of 1 Mpc, the Universe expands at a rate of 67.7 km s-1.
