Extractions: Though scientific publications document sources in similar ways, the details of presenting source information vary from journal to journal. Often publications provide prospective authors with style sheets that outline formats for presenting sources. Before submitting an article to a scientific publication, you should request its style sheet. If one is not available, examine a copy of the publication to see how sources are listed. When writing for a science course, check with your instructor about which format to use. Biologists, zoologists, earth scientists, geneticists, and other scientists may use an author-date system of documentation (one type of author-date system is shown in the APA documentation section of this booklet). Or they may use a number system in which each source is given a number in the text. Following the text, full publication information for each numbered source is provided in a list of references. Entries in this list are given in the order in which they are mentioned in the paper.
Binary Number System
Erik Østergaard Binary number system. Bottom of This Page. Binarynumber system. The Binary Number Base Systems. Most modern
http://www.mindsec.com/files/binary.htm

Extractions: Bottom of This Page Binary Number System The Binary Number Base Systems Most modern computer systems (including the IBM PC) operate using binary logic. The computer represents values using two voltage levels (usually 0V for logic and either +3.3 V or +5V for logic 1). With two levels we can represent exactly two different values. These could be any two different values, but by convention we use the values zero and one. These two values, coincidentally, correspond to the two digits used by the binary number system. Since there is a correspondence between the logic levels used by the computer and the two digits used in the binary numbering system, it should come as no surprise that computers employ the binary system. The binary number system works like the decimal number system except the Binary Number System: The weighted values for each position is determined as follows: In the United States among other countries, every three decimal digits is separated with a comma to make larger numbers easier to read. For example, 123,456,789 is much easier to read and comprehend than 123456789. We will adopt a similar convention for binary numbers. To make binary numbers more readable, we will add a space every four digits starting from the least significant digit on the left of the decimal point. For example, the binary value 1010111110110010 will be written 1010 1111 1011 0010.
Intel To Drive Home Chip-numbering System In May | CNET News.com

Extractions: In a move that will change how millions of consumers buy their PCs, Intel later this year will adopt a new system for differentiating its processors that de-emphasizes the widely used gigahertz, or clock speed. Sources familiar with Intel's plans said that the chipmaker in May will begin affixing each of its new processors with a number designed to help consumers decipher how the features stack up against other processors in the same family. Intel will use numbers in the ranges of 300, 500 and 700, similar to the model numbers BMW uses on its sedans. News.context

http://news.com.com/2100-1006-5172938.html

Extractions: Intel plans to assign a new numbering system to its Pentium and Celeron processors in order to better illustrate their performance to consumers, according to a source familiar with the company's plans. The chip giant is expected to begin the practice with the launch of its latest Pentium M processor, dubbed Dothan , which is due in the second quarter. Pentium 4 and Celeron chips will also get model numbers, as Intel aims to get the system in place by summer, the source said. Under the model number system, processors will be given numbers to describe their performance, in addition to being described as running at 2GHz or another speed. The planned system, which would focus on the chips' overall performance and de-emphasize how fast its chips run, is a huge change for Intel's marketing machine. The company has spent years and millions of dollars marketing clock speed as its processors' main measure of performance and their main point of differentiation from competing Advanced Micro Devices products.

Karl's Calculus Tutor: 1.0 Number Systems
Section 1 number systems. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisionextend easily to be applicable to the expanded number system.
http://www.karlscalculus.org/calc1.html

Extractions: Calculus deals with properties of the real numbers. In order to understand calculus you must first understand what it is about the real numbers that separates them from other kinds of numbers we use from day to day. These are the first numbers we learn. When we count, we start from one and list off the names of numbers in sequence. And this simple description clues us in on what the crucial properties of the counting numbers are: There is a first counting number, and for each counting number, there is a next next counting number, or in other words, a successor. No counting number is its own successor. No counting number has more than one successor. No counting number is the successor of more than one other counting number. Only the number 1 is not the successor of any counting number. And there is one more important property. That is, the counting numbers are like a ladder. If you know how to step onto the first rung of the ladder, and from any rung you know how to step to the next rung, then you can get to every rung. You probably remember learning about proof by induction back when you took algebra in highschool. This is the principle on which it is based. The way textbooks usually state it is that if you have a collection of counting numbers, and 1 is in that collection, and the successor of each counting number in the collection is also in the collection, then the collection contains all the counting numbers there are. But if you remember only the ladder analogy, you will still have the basic idea.

Extractions: Introduction to the Binary and Other Number Systems Note to persons reading this in Braille. This section contains some mathematical notation which may not display correctly when transcribed to Braille 2. We would appreciate feedback on any problems. Place-value and the decimal system. Our decimal or base ten number system is a place-value system. This means that the place or location where you put a numeral determines its corresponding numerical value. (This is analogous to braille codes in that the place you put a cell sometimes determines its meaning.) A two in the one's place means two times one or two. A two in the one-thousand's place means two times one thousand or two thousand. Figure 1 shows the place values for the first six whole number places in the decimal system. Whole number places: Place values: 100000 10000 1000 100 10 1 Fig. 1. Place values (in decimal) for the decimal number system. The place-value of the place immediately to the left of the "decimal" point is one in all place-value number systems.

Egypt: The Ancient Egyptian Number System (Math), A Feature Tour Egypt Story
The Ancient Egyptian number system By Caroline Seawright. In ancientEgypt mathematics was used for measuring time, straight lines
http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/numbers.htm

Extractions: By Caroline Seawright In ancient Egypt mathematics was used for measuring time, straight lines, the level of the Nile floodings, calculating areas of land, counting money, working out taxes and cooking. Maths was even used in mythology - the Egyptians figured out the numbers of days in the year with their calendar . They were one of the ancient peoples who got it closest to the 'true year', though their mathematical skills. Maths was also used with fantastic results for building tombs, pyramids and other architectural marvels. A part of the largest surviving mathematical scroll, the Rhind Papyrus (written in hieratic script), asks questions about the geometry of triangles. It is, in essence, a mathematical text book. The surviving parts of the papyrus show how the Egyptian engineers calculated the proportions of pyramids as well as other structures. Originally, this papyrus was five meters long and thirty three centimeters high. It is again to the Nile Valley that we must look for evidence of the early influence on Greek mathematics. With respect to geometry, the commentators are unanimous: the mathematician-priests of the Nile Valley knew no peer. The geometry of Pythagoras, Eudoxus, Plato, and Euclid was learned in Nile Valley temples. Four mathematical papyri still survive, most importantly the Rhind mathematical papyrus dating to 1832 B.C. Not only do these papyri show that the priests had mastered all the processes of arithmetic, including a theory of number, but had developed formulas enabling them to find solutions of problems with one and two unknowns, along with "think of a number problems." With all of this plus the arithmetic and geometric progressions they discovered, it is evident that by 1832 B.C., algebra was in place in the Nile Valley.
The First Place-Value Number System
The Babylonian s sexagesimal (base60) number system, which first appeared around1900 to 1800 BC, is also credited as being the first known place-value number
http://www.maxmon.com/1900bc.htm

Extractions: The First Place-Value Number System The decimal system with which we are fated is a place-value system, which means that the value of a particular digit depends both on the digit itself and on its position within the number. For example, a four in the right-hand column simply means four ...... in the next column it means forty ...... one more column over means four-hundred ...... then four thousand, and so on. For many arithmetic operations, the use of a number system whose base is wholly divisible by many numbers, especially the smaller values, conveys certain advantages. And so we come to the Babylonians, who were famous for their astrological observations and calculations, and who used a sexagesimal (base-60) numbering system (see also The invention of the abacus a Although sixty may appear to be a large value to have as a base, it does convey certain advantages. Sixty is the smallest number that can be wholly divided by two, three, four, five, and six ...... and of course it can also be divided by ten, fifteen, twenty, and thirty. In addition to using base sixty, the Babylonians also made use six and ten as sub-bases. a The Babylonian's sexagesimal system, which first appeared around 1900 to 1800 BC, is also credited as being
Sequence Identifiers: GI Number And Accession.Version
In February 1999, GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ implemented a new accession.version systemof sequence identifiers that runs parallel to the gi number system.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Sitemap/sequenceIDs.html

Extractions: Question Why are there two types of sequence identification numbers (GI and VERSION), and what is the difference between them? Answer The two types of sequence identification numbers, GI and VERSION , have different formats and were implemented at different points in time. GI number (sometimes written in lower case, " gi ") is simply a series of digits that are assigned consecutively to each sequence record processed by NCBI. The GI number bears no resemblance to the Accession number of the sequence record.

Just type or paste in a number in Big5 Chinese (no decimal points please) and click "Show English". I've written a Perl module to convert between Chinese character numbers and Arabic numbers that you are welcome to download and use. Traditional Simplfied Formal Trad. (Daxie) Formal Simp. (Daxie) Pinyin While China has for many uses adopted the Arabic numeral system familiar around the world, it also still uses its native Chinese character number system. The Chinese system is also a base-10 system, but has important differences in the way the numbers are represented. Chinese has characters for numbers through 9, as seen above. In addition to the character shown above for zero, a simple circle is also used. Pronunciation for the characters uses the standard Romanization scheme in China called "pinyin" . The number at the end of the pinyin indicates the tone. Eleven in Chinese is "ten one". Twelve is "ten two", and so on. Twenty is "Two ten", twenty-one is "two ten one" (2*10 + 1), and so on up to 99. One-hundred is "one hundred". One-hundred and one is "one hundred zero one". One hundred and eleven is "one hundred one ten one". Notice that for eleven alone, you only need "ten one" and not "one ten one", but when used in a larger number (such as 111), you must add the extra "one". One thousand and above is done in a similar fashion, where you say how many thousands you have, then how many hundreds, tens, and ones. An exception to this is for zeroes. When a zero occurs in the number (except at the end), you need to say "zero", but only once for two or more consecutive zeroes. So one-thousand and one would be "one thousand zero one", where zero stands in for the hundreds and tens places. Try different numbers in the converter above to practice and check on other numbers.
