COMEBACK by M. Steven Fish with Laila M. Aghaie | Rivertowns Books Then quoting Steven Fish himself:

Latin decimâlis < decem "ten" + -âlis (adjective-making suffix) So it's "ten-related" Latin decem itself is cognate with English "ten".

Adam Lee then considered several things. Going ahead with his original student-loan forgiveness plan. If some judge prosecutes some official for doing any of the work of it, he then pardons that official. Using the Defense Production Act to commandeer fossil-fuel companies to make...

For the good of America, Biden should become a dictator by Adam Lee at FreeThoughtBlogs "I wasn’t cynical enough about this Supreme Court." He thought that the Court sitting on the case was an effort to run out the clock to keep Donald Trump from being tried before the election. The Court...

...It uses Euler's totient function - for positive integer n, phi(n) is the number of positive integers coprime or relatively prime to n. phi(n) = n * product of (1 - 1/p) over p: all the distinct prime factors of n The theorem itself: for a and n coprime, a^(phi(n)) = 1 mod n That means...

Rational numbers have the property that their decimal or other place-system representations have infinitely-repeating sequences of digits that trail the first digits. I'll show three repeats of each repeated sequence. Decimal: 1 - 1.000... 2 - 0.5000... 3 - 0.333... 4 - 0.25000... 5 -...

real analysis - Do the Liouville Numbers form a field? - Mathematics Stack Exchange Absolutely not, because an algebraic field needs an additive identity and a multiplicative one: 0 and 1 for the rational numbers and their supersets. Neither is a Liouville number. Also, every real number can...

...either operation. Transcendental numbers? The paper cites this theorem: if x and y are transcendental numbers, then at least one of x + y and x*y is transcendental. Proof: let x + y = a and x*y = b and solve for x and y: x = (1/2)*(a - sqrt(a^2 - 4*b)) y = (1/2)*(a + sqrt(a^2 - 4*b)) and...

Yes, as early CPU chips. But they were one-off designs, not members of instruction-set-compatible families.
