Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change. There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics

Comparative analysis of x^3+y^3=z^3 and x^2+y^2=z^2 in the Interconnected Sets Vladimir Godovalov
This paper introduces an innovative technique of study z^3-x^3=y^3 on the subject of its insolvability in integers. Technique starts from building the interconnected, third degree sets: A3={a_n│a_n=n^3,n∈N}, B3={b_n│b_n=a_(n+1)-a_n }, C3={c_n│c_n=b_(n+1)-b_n } and P3={6} wherefrom we get a_n and b_n expressed as figurate polynomials of third degree, a new finding in mathematics. This approach and the results allow us to investigate equation z^3-x^3=y in these interconnected sets A3 and B3, where z^3∧x^3∈A3, y∈B3. Further, in conjunction with the new Method of Ratio Comparison of Summands and Pascal’s rule, we finally prove inability of y=y^3. After we test the technique, applying the same approach to z^2-x^2=y where we get family of primitive z^2-x^2=y^2 as well as introduce conception of the basic primitiveness of z^'2-x^'2=y^2 for z^'-x^'=1 and the dependant primitiveness of z^'2-x^'2=y^2 for co-prime x,y,z and z^'-x^'>1.
On the Seidel’s Method, a Stronger Contraction Fixed Point Iterative Method o...BRNSS Publication Hub
In the solution of a system of linear equations, there exist many methods most of which are not fixed point iterative methods. However, this method of Sidel’s iteration ensures that the given system of the equation must be contractive after satisfying diagonal dominance. The theory behind this was discussed in sections one and two and the end; the application was extensively discussed in the last section.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Andreas Schleicher presents at the OECD webinar ‘Digital devices in schools: detrimental distraction or secret to success?’ on 27 May 2024. The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Proof:
LHS is symmetric polynomial in x’s and in y’s
Degree n – 1 in x1
By induction, LHS = RHS when x1 = y1
Sufficient to show that RHS is symmetric polynomial in x’s and
in y’s
55. LHS is symmetric polynomial in x’s and in y’s
Degree n – 1 in x1
By induction, LHS = RHS when x1 = –y1
Sufficient to show that RHS is symmetric polynomial in x’s and
in y’s — follows from Baxter’s triangle-to-triangle relation

1993, Okada finds the equivalent of the
λ-determinant for the other Weyl
Denominator Formulas.
2004, Okada shows that the formulas for
counting ASM’s, including those subject
to symmetry conditions, are simply the
dimensions of certain irreducible
representations, i.e. specializations of
Weyl Character formulas.
