This document discusses different types of figurate numbers including triangular, square, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers. It provides examples of the patterns formed by each type of number and formulas to calculate the nth term. Relations between different figurate numbers are also explored, such as how the 4th square number can be expressed as the sum of the 3rd and 4th triangular numbers. A brief history of polygonal numbers is given, noting they were first studied by Pythagoras.

What is four times three? 12 you might say, but no longer! In a new type of math— intersection math—
we will see that four times three is 18, two times two is 1, and that two times five is 10 (Hang on! That’s
not new!) Let’s spend some time together exploring this new math and answering the question: What is
1001 times 492?
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

2. A figurate number, also known as a figural number or polygonal number, is a number that can be represented by a regular geometrical arrangement of equally spaced points. source: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FigurateNumber.html
5. We can also view the square numbers from a different aspect. Like the figure below Image source: http://tonks.disted.camosun.bc.ca/courses/psyc290/figure1002.jpg We can observe that a square is partitioned into a smaller square and a carpenter’s square or gnomon.
6. In observing the figure on the left, we see that the fourth square number is the sum of the first four odd numbers, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 42 n2= (n – 1)2+(2n – 1) Image source: http://tonks.disted.camosun.bc.ca/courses/psyc290/figure1002.jpg
8. Generalizing, we see that the nth square number is the sum of the first n odd numbers, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + … + (2n – 1) The difference between any two consecutive addends is 2. Since the difference between any two consecutive numbers in the sum which names a square number is 2, we say the common difference of the square numbers is 2.
9. Triangular Numbers being pictured as triangles Image source: http://mathforum.org/workshops/usi/pascal/images/triang.dots.gif
10. If we observe the pictures above of the representations of the triangular numbers, we see that the number of dots in the representation of the first triangular number is 1, of the second, 1 + 2, of the third, 1 + 2 + 3, and so on. Image source: http://mathforum.org/workshops/usi/pascal/images/triang.dots.gif
11. 1st 1 2nd 1 + 2 3rd 1 + 2 + 3 4th 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 5th 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 . . . nth 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + n where n is any counting number. Notice that the difference between any two addends in this sum is 1, so, 1 is the common difference of the triangular numbers. nth triangular number is given by the formula,
12. Pentagonal Numbers pictured in the form of a pentagon represented by a square with a triangle on top Image source: http://thm-a02.yimg.com/nimage/17d300a4d2a62fa0
14. Refer to the figure below. We see that the fourth pentagonal number is made up of the fourth square number and the third triangular number. Solution:
16. Following the triangular, square, and pentagonal numbers are the figurate numbers with differences: 4, 5, 6, and so on. If the common difference is 4, we have the hexagonal numbers. 1st 1 = 1 2nd 1 + 5 = 6 3rd 1 + 5 + 9 = 15 4th 1 + 5 + 9 + 13 = 28 . . . nth 1 + 5 + 9 + . . . + (4n – 3) = n(2n – 1)
18. Notice that the representation of the fourth square number is partitioned so that it is composed of the 3rd and 4th triangular number . Thus, 6 + 10 = 16.
19. Relation of Square and Triangular Numbers __________________________________________ Triangular number 1 3 6 10 ... Triangular number 1 3 6 … Square number 1 4 9 16 ... Table 3.2
21. Every whole number is the sum of three or less triangular numbers. For Example: 17 = 1 + 6 + 10 26 = 1 + 10 + 15 46 = 10 + 36 150 = 6 + 66 + 78 64 = 28 + 21 + 15 25 = 10 + 15 II. Every whole number is the sum of four or less square numbers. For Example: 56 = 36 + 16 + 4 = 62 + 42 + 22 150 = 100 + 49 + 1 = 102 + 72 + 12
22. III. If we multiply each triangular number by 6, add a plus the cube of which triangular number it is, say we get the kth, we get (k + 1)3 Example: 3rd triangular number, (6 x 6) + 1 + 33 = (3 + 1)3 In general,
23. Eight (8) times any triangular number add 1 is a square. Example, (8 x 1) + 1 = 9 = 32 (8 x 3) + 1 = 25 = 52 (8 x 6) + 1 = 49 = 72 In general,
25. The theory of polygonal numbers goes back to Pythagoras, best known for his Pythagorean Theorem. Pythagoras 572 – 500 B.C. Image source: http://9waysmysteryschool.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/pythagoras.jpg
