CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology continues to be the
dominant technology for fabricating integrated circuits (ICs or chips). This dominance
will likely continue for the next 25 years and perhaps even longer. Why? CMOS
technology is reliable, manufacturable, low power, low cost, and, perhaps most
importantly, scalable. The fact that silicon integrated circuit technology is scalable was
observed and described in 1965 by Intel founder Gordon Moore. His observations are
now referred to as Moore's law and state that the number of devices on a chip will double
every 18 to 24 months. While originally not specific to CMOS, Moore's law has been
fulfilled over the years by scaling down the feature size in CMOS technology. Whereas
the gate lengths of early CMOS transistors were in the micrometer range (long-channel
devices) the feature sizes of current CMOS devices are in the nanometer range
(short-channel devices).
To encompass both the long- and short-channel CMOS technologies in this book,
a two-path approach to custom CMOS integrated circuit design is adopted. Design
techniques are developed for both and then compared. This comparison gives readers
deep insight into the circuit design process. While the square-law equations used to
describe MOSFET operation that students learn in an introductory course in
microelectronics can be used for analog design in a long-channel CMOS process they are
not useful when designing in short-channel, or nanometer, CMOS technology. The
behavior of the devices in a nanometer CMOS process is quite complex. Simple
equations to describe the devices' behavior are not possible. Rather electrical plots are
used to estimate biasing points and operating behavior. It is still useful, however, for the
student to use mathematical rigor when learning circuit analysis and design and, hence,
the reason for the two-path approach. Hand calculations can be performed using a
long-channel CMOS technology with the results then used to describe how to design in a
nano-CMOS process.

Integral Equation Formalism for Electromagnetic Scattering from Small ParticlesHo Yin Tam
This thesis examines theoretical methods for modeling electromagnetic scattering from small metallic nanoparticles, with a focus on integral equation and quasi-analytic approximation approaches. The T-matrix method is developed for solving the vector wave equation using integral equations. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations are also performed and compared to T-matrix results. An analytic approximation is derived in the quasi-static limit that separates the wavelength, size, and shape dependencies of the internal field. This approximation agrees well with numerical solutions and provides physical insight into plasmon resonances of spheroidal and cylindrical nanoparticles.
This document outlines a master's project that aims to apply 2-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation (2D-DIC) to map bond strain and stress distribution in concrete pull-out specimens. Eleven concrete specimens with varying bar diameters and fiber contents were tested. 2D-DIC analysis was used to find displacement fields from images taken during testing, which were then used to calculate strain and stress distributions. Results showed good agreement between 2D-DIC displacements and measurements from LVDT sensors. Strain contours were mapped for two selected specimens.
The Tridiagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA) is used to solve systems of tridiagonal linear algebraic equations. The equations are of the form:
aiXi-1 + biXi + ciXi+1 = di
Where ai, bi, ci are the coefficients on the sub-diagonal, diagonal and super-diagonal respectively.
TDMA solves the equations in forward and backward substitution steps. In the forward step, it expresses the solution at each node Xi in terms of the solution at the next node Xi+1. In the backward step, it substitutes these expressions back into the original equations to obtain an expression for the solution at each node in terms of the solutions of nodes with higher indices. This
The document discusses using the differential quadrature method to analyze buckling in thin plates. It provides an overview of buckling and introduces the differential quadrature method as an efficient numerical technique. The method transforms differential equations into algebraic equations using sampling points. The document applies the method to analyze buckling in isotropic rectangular plates with different boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Results show the differential quadrature method provides accurate results using fewer grid points compared to other methods like finite element analysis.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

Integral Equation Formalism for Electromagnetic Scattering from Small ParticlesHo Yin Tam
This thesis examines theoretical methods for modeling electromagnetic scattering from small metallic nanoparticles, with a focus on integral equation and quasi-analytic approximation approaches. The T-matrix method is developed for solving the vector wave equation using integral equations. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations are also performed and compared to T-matrix results. An analytic approximation is derived in the quasi-static limit that separates the wavelength, size, and shape dependencies of the internal field. This approximation agrees well with numerical solutions and provides physical insight into plasmon resonances of spheroidal and cylindrical nanoparticles.
This document outlines a master's project that aims to apply 2-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation (2D-DIC) to map bond strain and stress distribution in concrete pull-out specimens. Eleven concrete specimens with varying bar diameters and fiber contents were tested. 2D-DIC analysis was used to find displacement fields from images taken during testing, which were then used to calculate strain and stress distributions. Results showed good agreement between 2D-DIC displacements and measurements from LVDT sensors. Strain contours were mapped for two selected specimens.
The Tridiagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA) is used to solve systems of tridiagonal linear algebraic equations. The equations are of the form:
aiXi-1 + biXi + ciXi+1 = di
Where ai, bi, ci are the coefficients on the sub-diagonal, diagonal and super-diagonal respectively.
TDMA solves the equations in forward and backward substitution steps. In the forward step, it expresses the solution at each node Xi in terms of the solution at the next node Xi+1. In the backward step, it substitutes these expressions back into the original equations to obtain an expression for the solution at each node in terms of the solutions of nodes with higher indices.

The document discusses using the differential quadrature method to analyze buckling in thin plates. It provides an overview of buckling and introduces the differential quadrature method as an efficient numerical technique. The method transforms differential equations into algebraic equations using sampling points. The document applies the method to analyze buckling in isotropic rectangular plates with different boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Results show the differential quadrature method provides accurate results using fewer grid points compared to other methods like finite element analysis.

Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

A proprietary approach developed by bringing together the best of learning theories from Psychology, design principles from the world of visualization, and pedagogical methods from over a decade of training experience, that enables you to: Learn better, faster!
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

10. Preface
Basic Engineering Mathematics 5th Edition intro-
duces and then consolidates basic mathematical princi-
ples and promotes awareness of mathematical concepts
for students needing a broad base for further vocational
studies.
In thisfifth edition,newmaterial hasbeen added to many
of the chapters, particularly some of the earlier chap-
ters, together with extra practical problems interspersed
throughout the text. The extent of this fifth edition
is such that four chapters from the previous edition
have been removed and placed on the easily available
website http://www.booksite.elsevier.com/newnes/bird.
The chapters removed to the website are ‘Number
sequences’, ‘Binary, octal and hexadecimal’, ‘Inequali-
ties’ and ‘Graphs with logarithmic scales’.
The text is relevant to:
• ‘Mathematics for Engineering Technicians’ for
BTEC First NQF Level 2 – Chapters 1–12, 16–18,
20, 21, 23 and 25–27 are needed for this module.
• The mandatory ‘Mathematics for Technicians’ for
BTEC National Certificate and National Diploma in
Engineering, NQF Level 3 – Chapters 7–10, 14–17,
19, 20–23, 25–27, 31, 32, 34 and 35 are needed
and, in addition, Chapters 1–6, 11 and 12 are helpful
revision for this module.
• Basic mathematics for a wide range of introduc-
tory/access/foundation mathematics courses.
• GCSE revision and for similar mathematics courses
in English-speaking countries worldwide.
Basic Engineering Mathematics 5th Edition provides a
lead into Engineering Mathematics 6th Edition.
Each topic considered in the text is presented in a
way that assumes in the reader little previous know-
ledge of that topic. Each chapter begins with a brief
outline of essential theory, definitions, formulae, laws
and procedures; however, these are kept to a minimum
as problem solving is extensively used to establish and
exemplify the theory. It is intended that readers will gain
real understanding through seeing problems solved and
then solving similar problems themselves.
This textbook contains some 750 worked problems,
followed by over 1550 further problems (all with
answers at the end of the book) contained within some
161 Practice Exercises; each Practice Exercise fol-
lows on directly from the relevant section of work. In
addition, 376 line diagrams enhance understanding of
the theory. Where at all possible, the problems mirror
potential practical situations found in engineering and
science.
Placed at regular intervals throughout the text are
14 Revision Tests (plus another for the website
chapters) to check understanding. For example, Revi-
sion Test 1 covers material contained in Chapters 1
and 2, Revision Test 2 covers the material contained
in Chapters 3–5, and so on. These Revision Tests do
not have answers given since it is envisaged that lec-
turers/instructors could set the tests for students to
attempt as part of their course structure. Lecturers/in-
structors may obtain a complimentary set of solu-
tions of the Revision Tests in an Instructor’s Manual,
available from the publishers via the internet – see

At the end of the book a list of relevant formulae con-
tained within the text is included for convenience of
reference.
The principle of learning by example is at the heart of

Basic arithmetic
1.1 Introduction
Whole numbers are called integers. +3,+5 and +72
are examples of positive integers; −13,−6 and −51
are examples of negative integers. Between positive
and negative integers is the number 0 which is neither
positive nor negative.
The four basic arithmetic operators are add (+), subtract
(−), multiply (×) and divide (÷).
It is assumed that adding, subtracting, multiplying and
dividing reasonably small numbers can be achieved
without a calculator. However, if revision of this area
is needed then some worked problems are included in
the following sections.
When unlike signs occur together in a calculation, the
overall sign is negative. For example,
3 + (−4) = 3 + −4 = 3 − 4 = −1
and
(+5) × (−2) = −10
Like signs together give an overall positive sign. For
example,
3 − (−4) = 3 − −4 = 3 + 4 = 7
and
(−6) × (−4) = +24
1.2 Revision of addition and
subtraction
You can probably already add two or more numbers
together and subtract one number from another. How-
ever, if you need a revision then the following worked
problems should be helpful.
Problem 1. Determine 735 + 167
H T U
7 3 5
+ 1 6 7

1 1
(i) 5 + 7 = 12. Place 2 in units (U) column. Carry 1
in the tens (T) column.
(ii) 3 + 6 + 1 (carried) = 10. Place the 0 in the tens
column. Carry the 1 in the hundreds (H) column.
(iii) 7 + 1 + 1 (carried) = 9. Place the 9 in the hun-
dreds column.
Hence, 735 + 167 = 902
Problem 2. Determine 632 − 369
H T U
6 3 2
− 3 6 9
2 6 3
(i) 2 − 9 is not possible; therefore ‘borrow’ 1 from
the tens column (leaving 2 in the tens column). In
the units column, this gives us 12 − 9 = 3.
(ii) Place 3 in the units column.
(iii) 2 − 6 is not possible; therefore ‘borrow’ 1 from
the hundreds column (leaving 5 in the hun-
dreds column). In the tens column, this gives us
12 − 6 = 6.
(iv) Place the 6 in the tens column.

(v) 5 − 3 = 2.
(vi) Place the 2 in the hundreds column.
Hence, 632 − 369 = 263
Problem 3. Add 27,−74,81 and −19
This problem is written as 27 − 74 + 81 − 19.
Adding the positive integers: 27
81
Sum of positive integers is 108
Adding the negative integers: 74
19
Sum of negative integers is 93
Taking the sum of the negative integers
from the sum of the positive integers gives 108
−93
15
Thus, 27 − 74 + 81 − 19 = 15
Problem 4. Subtract −74 from 377
This problem is written as 377 − −74. Like signs
together give an overall positive sign, hence
377 − −74 = 377 + 74 3 7 7
+ 7 4
4 5 1
Thus, 377 − −74 = 451
Problem 5. Subtract 243 from 126
The problem is 126 − 243. When the second number is
larger than the first, take the smaller number from the
larger and make the result negative. Thus,
126 − 243 = −(243 − 126) 2 4 3
− 1 2 6
1 1 7
Thus, 126 − 243 = −117
Problem 6. Subtract 318 from −269
The problem is −269 − 318. The sum of the negative
integers is
2 6 9
+ 3 1 8
5 8 7
Thus, −269 − 318 = −587

1.3 Revision of multiplication and
division
You can probably already multiply two numbers
together and divide one number by another. However, if
you need a revision then the followingworked problems
should be helpful.
Problem 7. Determine 86 × 7
H T U

(i) 7 × 6 = 42. Place the 2 in the units (U) column
and ‘carry’ the 4 into the tens (T) column.
(ii) 7 × 8 = 56;56 + 4 (carried) = 60. Place the 0 in
the tens column and the 6 in the hundreds (H)
column.
Hence, 86 × 7 = 602
A good grasp of multiplication tables is needed when
multiplying such numbers; a reminder of the multipli-
cation table up to 12 × 12 is shown below. Confidence
with handling numbers will be greatly improved if this
table is memorized.

(i) 8 × 4 = 32. Place the 2 in the units column and
carry 3 into the tens column.
(ii) 8 × 6 = 48;48 + 3 (carried) = 51. Place the 1 in
the tens column and carry the 5 into the hundreds
column.
(iii) 8 × 7 = 56;56 + 5 (carried) = 61. Place 1 in the
hundredscolumn and 6 in thethousandscolumn.
(iv) Place 0 in the units column under the 2.
(v) 3 × 4 = 12. Place the 2 in the tens column and
carry 1 into the hundreds column.
(vi) 3 × 6 = 18;18 + 1 (carried) = 19. Place the 9 in
the hundreds column and carry the 1 into the
thousands column.
(vii) 3 × 7 = 21;21 + 1 (carried) = 22. Place 2 in the
thousands column and 2 in the ten thousands
column.
(viii) 6112+ 22920 = 29032
Hence, 764 × 38 = 29032
Again, knowing multiplication tables is ratherimportant
when multiplying such numbers.
It is appreciated, of course, that such a multiplication
can,and probably will,beperformed using a calculator.
However, there are times when a calculator may not be
available and it is then useful to be able to calculate the
‘long way’.
Problem 9. Multiply 178 by −46
When the numbers have different signs, the result will
be negative. (With this in mind, the problem can now
be solved by multiplying 178 by 46). Following the
procedure of Problem 8 gives
1 7 8
× 4 6
1 0 6 8
7 1 2 0
8 1 8 8
Thus, 178 × 46 = 8188 and 178 × (−46) = −8188
Problem 10. Determine 1834 ÷ 7
262

1834
(i) 7 into 18 goes 2, remainder 4. Place the 2 above
the 8 of 1834 and carry the 4 remainder to the
next digit on the right, making it 43.
(ii) 7 into 43 goes 6, remainder 1. Place the 6 above
the 3 of 1834 and carry the 1 remainder to the
next digit on the right, making it 14.
(iii) 7 into 14 goes 2, remainder 0. Place 2 above the
4 of 1834.
Hence, 1834÷ 7 = 1834/7 =
1834
7
= 262.
The method shown is called short division.

(i) 12 into 5 won’t go. 12 into 57 goes 4; place 4
above the 7 of 5796.
(ii) 4 × 12 = 48; place the 48 below the 57 of 5796.
(iii) 57 − 48 = 9.
(iv) Bring down the 9 of 5796 to give 99.
(v) 12 into 99 goes 8; place 8 above the 9 of 5796.
(vi) 8 × 12 = 96; place 96 below the 99.
(vii) 99 − 96 = 3.
(viii) Bring down the 6 of 5796 to give 36.
(ix) 12 into 36 goes 3 exactly.
(x) Place the 3 above the final 6.
(xi) Place the 36 below the 36.
(xii) 36 − 36 = 0.
Hence, 5796 ÷ 12 = 5796/12 =
5796
12
= 483.
The method shown is called long division.

1.4 Highest common factors and
lowest common multiples
When two or more numbers are multiplied together, the
individualnumbers are called factors. Thus, a factoris a
number which divides into another number exactly. The
highest common factor (HCF) is the largest number
which divides into two or more numbers exactly.
For example, consider the numbers 12 and 15.
The factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 (i.e. all the
numbers that divide into 12).
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5 and 15 (i.e. all the numbers
that divide into 15).
1 and 3 are the only common factors; i.e., numbers
which are factors of both 12 and 15.
Hence, the HCF of 12 and 15 is 3 since 3 is the highest
number which divides into both 12 and 15.
A multiple is a number which contains another number
an exact number of times. The smallest number which
is exactly divisible by each of two or more numbers is
called the lowest common multiple (LCM).
For example, the multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48,
60, 72,... and the multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45,
60, 75,...
60 is a common multiple (i.e. a multiple of both 12 and
15) and there are no lower common multiples.
Hence, the LCM of 12 and 15 is 60 since 60 is the
lowest number that both 12 and 15 divide into.
Here are some further problems involving the determi-
nation of HCFs and LCMs.
Problem 12. Determine the HCF of the numbers
12, 30 and 42
Probably the simplest way of determining an HCF is to
express each number in terms of its lowest factors. This
is achieved by repeatedly dividing by the prime numbers
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, … (where possible) in turn. Thus,
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
The factors which are common to each of the numbers
are 2 in column 1 and 3 in column 3, shown by the
broken lines. Hence, the HCF is 2 × 3; i.e., 6. That is,
6 is the largest number which will divide into 12, 30
and 42.
Problem 13. Determine the HCF of the numbers
30, 105, 210 and 1155
Using the method shown in Problem 12:
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
105 = 3 × 5 × 7
210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
1155 = 3 × 5 × 7 × 11
The factors which are common to each of the numbers
are 3 in column 2 and 5 in column 3. Hence, the HCF
is 3 × 5 = 15.
Problem 14. Determine the LCM of the numbers
12, 42 and 90
19. 6 Basic Engineering Mathematics
The LCM is obtained by finding the lowest factors of
each of the numbers, as shown in Problems 12 and 13
above, and then selecting the largest group of any of the
factors present. Thus,
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
42 = 2 × 3 × 7
90 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
The largest group of any of the factors present is shown
by the broken lines and are 2 × 2 in 12, 3 × 3 in 90, 5 in
90 and 7 in 42.
Hence, the LCM is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 1260 and
is the smallest number which 12, 42 and 90 will all
divide into exactly.
Problem 15. Determine the LCM of the numbers
150, 210, 735 and 1365
Using the method shown in Problem 14 above:
150 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 5
210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7
735 = 3 × 5 × 7 × 7
1365 = 3 × 5 × 7 × 13
Hence, the LCM is 2 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 13 =
95550.

1.5 Order of precedence and brackets
1.5.1 Order of precedence
Sometimes addition, subtraction, multiplication, divi-
sion, powers and brackets may all be involved in a
calculation. For example,
5 − 3 × 4 + 24 ÷ (3 + 5) − 32
This is an extreme example but will demonstrate the
order that is necessary when evaluating.
When we read, we read from left to right. However,
with mathematics there is a definite order of precedence
which we need to adhere to. The order is as follows:
Brackets
Order (or pOwer)
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
Notice that the first letters of each word spell BOD-
MAS, a handy aide-mémoire. Order means pOwer. For
example, 42 = 4 × 4 = 16.
5 − 3 × 4 + 24 ÷ (3 + 5) − 32 is evaluated as
follows:
5 − 3 × 4 + 24 ÷ (3 + 5) − 32
= 5 − 3 × 4 + 24 ÷ 8 − 32
(Bracket is removed and
3 + 5 replaced with 8)
= 5 − 3 × 4 + 24 ÷ 8 − 9 (Order means pOwer; in
this case, 32
= 3 × 3 = 9)
= 5 − 3 × 4 + 3 − 9 (Division: 24 ÷ 8 = 3)
= 5 − 12 + 3 − 9 (Multiplication: − 3 × 4 = −12)
= 8 − 12 − 9 (Addition: 5 + 3 = 8)
= −13 (Subtraction: 8 − 12 − 9 = −13)
In practice, it does not matter if multiplicationis per-
formed before divisionor if subtraction is performed
before addition. What is important is that the pro-
cessofmultiplicationanddivisionmustbecompleted
before addition and subtraction.
1.5.2 Brackets and operators
The basic laws governing the use of brackets and
operators are shown by the following examples.
20. Basic arithmetic 7
(a) 2 + 3 = 3 + 2; i.e., the order of numbers when
adding does not matter.
(b) 2 × 3 = 3 × 2; i.e., the order of numbers when
multiplying does not matter.
(c) 2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4; i.e., the use of brackets
when adding does not affect the result.
(d) 2 × (3 × 4) = (2 × 3) × 4; i.e., the use of brackets
when multiplying does not affect the result.
(e) 2 × (3 + 4) = 2(3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4; i.e., a
number placed outside of a bracket indicates
that the whole contents of the bracket must be
multiplied by that number.
(f) (2 + 3)(4 + 5) = (5)(9) = 5 × 9 = 45; i.e., adja-
cent brackets indicate multiplication.
(g) 2[3 + (4 × 5)] = 2[3 + 20] = 2 × 23 = 46; i.e.,
when an expression contains inner and outer
brackets, the inner brackets are removed
first.
Here are some further problems in which BODMAS
needs to be used.
Problem 16. Find the value of 6 + 4 ÷ (5 − 3)
The order of precedence of operations is remembered
by the word BODMAS. Thus,
6 + 4 ÷ (5 − 3) = 6 + 4 ÷ 2 (Brackets)
= 6 + 2 (Division)
= 8 (Addition)
Problem 17. Determine the value of
13 − 2 × 3 + 14 ÷ (2 + 5)
13 − 2 × 3 + 14÷ (2 + 5) = 13 − 2 × 3 + 14 ÷ 7 (B)
= 13 − 2 × 3 + 2 (D)
= 13 − 6 + 2 (M)
= 15 − 6 (A)
= 9 (S)
Problem 18. Evaluate
16 ÷(2 + 6) + 18[3 + (4 × 6) − 21]
16 ÷ (2 + 6) + 18[3 + (4 × 6) − 21]
= 16 ÷ (2 + 6) + 18[3 + 24 − 21] (B: inner bracket
is determined first)
= 16 ÷ 8 + 18 × 6 (B)
= 2 + 18 × 6 (D)
= 2 + 108 (M)
= 110 (A)
Note that a number outside of a bracket multiplies all
that is inside the brackets. In this case,
18[3 + 24 − 21] = 18[6], which means 18 × 6 = 108
Problem 19. Find the value of
23 − 4(2 × 7) +

There are a number of everyday examples in which
fractions are readily referred to. For example, three
people equally sharing a bar of chocolate would have
1
3
each. A supermarket advertises
1
5
off a six-pack of
beer; if the beer normally costs £2 then it will now
cost £1.60.

of the employees of a company are
women; if the company has 48 employees, then 36 are
women.
Calculators are able to handle calculations with frac-
tions. However, to understand a little more about frac-
tions we will in this chapter show how to add, subtract,
multiply and divide with fractions without the use of a
calculator.
Problem 1. Change the following improper
fractions into mixed numbers:
(a)
9
2
(b)
13
4
(c)
28
5
(a)
9
2
means 9 halves and
9
2
= 9 ÷ 2, and 9 ÷ 2 = 4
and 1 half, i.e.
9
2
= 4
1
2
(b)
13
4
means 13 quarters and
13
4
= 13 ÷ 4, and
13 ÷ 4 = 3 and 1 quarter, i.e.
13
4
= 3
1
4
(c)
28
5
means 28 fifths and
28
5
= 28 ÷ 5, and 28 ÷ 5 =
5 and 3 fifths, i.e.
28
5
= 5

Problem 2. Change the following mixed numbers
into improper fractions:
(a) 5
3
4
(b) 1
7
9
(c) 2
3
7
(a) 5
3
4
means 5 +
3

. 5 contains 5 × 4 = 20 quarters.
Thus, 5

contains 20 + 3 = 23 quarters, i.e.

(c) 2

7
=
7 × 2 + 3
7

.
Problem 3. In a school there are 180 students of
which 72 are girls. Express this as a fraction in its
simplest form
The fraction of girls is
72
180
.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the
lowest prime number, i.e. 2, gives
72
180
=
36
90
Dividing both the numerator and denominator again by
2 gives
72
180
=
36
90
=
18
45
2 will not divide into both 18 and 45, so dividing both the
numerator and denominator by the next prime number,
i.e. 3, gives
72
180
=
36
90
=
18
45
=
6
15
Dividing both the numerator and denominator again by
3 gives
72
180
=
36
90
=
18
45
=
6
15
=
2
5
So
72
180
=
2
5
in its simplest form.
Thus,
2
5
of the students are girls.
2.2 Adding and subtracting fractions
When the denominators of two (or more) fractions to
be added are the same, the fractions can be added ‘on
sight’.
For example,
2
9
+
5
9
=
7
9
and
3
8
+
1
8
=
4
8
.
In the latter example, dividing both the 4 and the 8 by
4 gives
4
8
=
1
2
, which is the simplified answer. This is
called cancelling.
Additionand subtraction of fractions is demonstrated
in the following worked examples.
Problem 4. Simplify

(i) Make the denominators the same for each frac-
tion. The lowest number that both denominators
divideinto is called the lowest commonmultiple
or LCM (see Chapter 1, page 5). In this example,
the LCM of 3 and 2 is 6.
(ii) 3 divides into 6 twice. Multiplying both numera-
tor and denominator of
1
3
by 2 gives
1
3
=
2
6
=
(iii) 2 dividesinto 6, 3 times. Multiplyingboth numer-
ator and denominator of
1

2.3 Multiplication and division of
fractions
2.3.1 Multiplication
To multiply two or more fractions together, the numer-
ators are first multiplied to give a single number
and this becomes the new numerator of the com-
bined fraction. The denominators are then multiplied
together to give the new denominator of the combined
fraction.

2.4 Order of precedence with
fractions
As stated in Chapter 1, sometimes addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, powers and brackets can all be
involved in a calculation. A definite order of precedence
must be adhered to. The order is:
Brackets
Order (or pOwer)
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction
