He concluded he had discovered a new type of radiation, which he called X-rays. He called them this because he didn t know what they were. These rays even could travel through a thousand page book, wood, rubber, and tin foil! Professor Roentgen then got an idea. he ... of the hand itself . This marked the first time anyone had seen the bones of a living human being with the bone actually in them. Then on Friday, November 8, 1895, he took the first X-ray photograph. It was of his Bertha s hand while she had a ring on.

- 137: Computers in Math
- ... as well as the two's complement subtraction procedure used by most computer's. Evaluating an Algebraic Function It is frequently necessary to evaluate an expression, such as the one below, for several values of x. y= 6x4+4x3-5x2+6x+4 First to start with developing the power's of x to perform the necessary multiplications by the coefficients, and finally produce the sum. The following steps are the way the computer "thinks" when it is calculating the equation. 1.Select x 2.Multiply x by x and store x2 3.Multiply x2 by x and store x3 4.Multiply x3 by x and store x4 5.Multiply x by 6 and store 6x 6.Multiply ...
- 138: Methods of Solving Systems Of Equations
- ... a point of intersection from a graph. One of the easiest ways to solve a system of equations is to solve by substitution. In order to use this method, it is preferable that either the x or the y in one of the lines has no coefficient. The method will work if there are coefficients before the variables, but it is easier if one of the variables is coefficient free. To ... then there are fractions in the equations. Linear combination is another basic method to use for solving equations. To begin solving a system using this method, rewrite the equation (if necessary) so that like terms (x, y, etc) are lined up in columns. In order for this method to work, one of the x or y coefficients has to cancel itself when the equations are added together. Find a variable thats coefficients can be easily multiplied by something in order to get the same number. One of ...

- ... or do not communicate over the same type of networks. When adopted and adhered to by equipment suppliers and service providers alike, standards represent the most effective and rational market-making mechanism available. ISDN, fax, X.25, and GSM are a few obvious examples of standards- based technologies. Without internationally-accepted standards and the corresponding ability to interoperate, the services based on these technologies would almost certainly languish as simple curiosities ... Experts Group of the ISO developed the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards for video compression. With MPEG 1 a 50 to 1 ratio is typical. MPEG-1 can encode images at up to 4k X 4k X 60 frames/sec. MPEG-2 was optimized for digital compression of TV and supports rates up to 16K X 16K X 30 frames/sec, but 1920 x 1080 x 30 frames/sec is considered ...
