Seite 80 - If both terms of a fraction be divided by the same number, the value of the fraction will remain unchanged.
Seite 288 - Since the arrangement of candidates on each slate is important (each arrangement represents people running for different political offices), this is a permutations problem. Recalling the general formula for the number of permutations of n things taken r at a time, nPr = n\l(n - r)!, we replace n by 10 and r by 3 to obtain 10!

A pyramid, the base of which is 9 feet square, and the height of which is 10 feet, is found to contain 10 cubic yards. What must be the height of a pyramid upon a base 3 feet square, in order that it may contain 2 cubic yards ? CHAPTER XXI.
Seite 328 - Suppose that a*=n, then x is called the logarithm of n to the base a : thus the logarithm of a number to a given base is the index of the power to which the base must be raised to be equal to the number. The logarithm of n to the base a is written log.
