The Noguchi table is a piece of modernist furniture first produced in the mid-20th century. Introduced by Herman Miller in 1947, it was designed in the United States by Japanese American artist and industrial designer Isamu Noguchi. The Noguchi table comprises a wooden base composed of two identical curved wood pieces, and a heavy plate glass top.
This table of bases gives the values of 0 to 1296 in bases 2 to 36, using A−Z for 10−35. "Base" (or "radix") is a term used in discussions of numeral systems which use place-value notation for representing numbers. Base 10 is in bold. All 10s are in italic
A database model is a type of data model that determines the logical structure of a database. It fundamentally determines in which manner data can be stored, organized and manipulated. The most popular example of a database model is the relational model, which uses a table-based format.
In modern positional systems, such as the decimal system, the position of the digit means that its value must be multiplied by some value: in 555, the three identical symbols represent five hundreds, five tens, and five units, respectively, due to their different positions in the digit string.
Vowels. The vowels of Standard Modern Greek on a vowel chart. Adapted from Arvaniti (2007, p. 28). Greek has a system of five vowels /i, u, e, o, a/. The first two have qualities approaching their respective cardinal vowels [ i, u], the mid vowels /e, o/ are true-mid [ e̞, o̞] and the open /a/ is near-open central [ ɐ].
Deming's periodic table of 1923 A modern periodic table colour-coded to show some common or more commonly used names for sets of elements. The categories and their boundaries differ somewhat between sources.
The International System of Units, internationally known by the abbreviation SI (from French Système international d'unités), is the modern form of the metric system and the world's most widely used system of measurement.
Endgame tablebase. A typical interface for querying a tablebase. In chess, the endgame tablebase, or simply tablebase, is a computerised database containing precalculated evaluations of endgame positions. Tablebases are used to analyse finished games, as well as by chess engines to evaluate positions during play.
provided that b, x and y are all positive and b ≠ 1.The slide rule, also based on logarithms, allows quick calculations without tables, but at lower precision.The present-day notion of logarithms comes from Leonhard Euler, who connected them to the exponential function in the 18th century, and who also introduced the letter e as the base of natural logarithms.
As formulas are entirely constituted with symbols of various types, many symbols are needed for expressing all mathematics. The most basic symbols are the decimal digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), and the letters of the Latin alphabet.
