Division signs

The colon in the middle might remind you of the old-fashioned division sign,... 

Division signs (4-) are rarely used in the sciences. Usually, a division operation is signaled by a fractional notation. Just think of the horizontal bar as the division sign. For example, if x divided by 15 equals 180, what does x equal ... 

The number above the line is called the numerator the number below the line is the denominator. Both the horizontal and the slanted (/) division signs also mean per. For example, in the expression for density, we determine the mass per unit volume ... 

In cell Dl, enter the label °F . In cell D2, type the formula = (9/5) B2+32 . This is equivalent to writing °F = (9/5) °C + 32. The slash (/) is a division sign and the asterisk ( ) is a multiplication sign. Parentheses are used to make the computer do what we intend. Operations inside parentheses are carried out before operations outside the parentheses. The computer responds to this formula by writing —328 in cell D2. This is the Fahrenheit equivalent to —200°C. Select cells D2 through D6. In the Home ribbon, go to Editing and select Fill and then Down to complete the table shown in Figure 3-3c. 

In addition, we have established that there is a sense of direction to the location of the inaccessible states. State 2, the state reached from 1 by a reversible adiabatic path, represents the division between the states on the second isotherm that are accessible and inaccessible from state 1. We represent this schematically in Figure 2.1 lb, where the reversible adiabatic path separates states that are accessible from state 1 from those that are inaccessible. The observation that the reversible path serves as the boundary between the two sets of states will be useful later when we show the direction of allowed processes in terms of the sign of A5(universe). 

By applying the same argument to the case of a geometrically ruled surface over an elliptic curve we get that sign(KSn-i) = 0. This was however clear from the beginning as the dimension of KSn-i is not divisible by 4. It seems remarkable that in all cases the signatures and the Euler numbers can be expressed in terms of the coefficients of the (/-development of modular forms. For the first few of the X-y(KAn-i) we get ... 

Harshaw Chemical Co., a division of Kewanee, was able to grow a 17-in. crystal for ionization detection, which no one else had done. Harshaw considered the processes involved to be a trade secret. Several former employees of Harshaw formed or later joined Bicron Co. These employees had signed at least one agreement with Harshaw not to disclose confidential information or trade secrets. Bicron was formed to produce crystals. 

The most immature cells remain in the adherent layer that is described as cobblestone areas, and are released to the growth media upon division and maturation. Major cell types in the cellular environment are macrophages, adipocytes cells and blanket cells. From the cobblestone areas hematopoietic cells are released into the growth media until the cultures begin to decline (8 weeks or later). Sign that the hematopoietic activity is declining is predominance of macrophages in the non-adherent cell population and decline of hematopoietic cell foci in the adherent layer (Dexter 1982). 

The definition of the matrix in equation (60) requires some explanation The minus sign is motivated by the fact that H(x) is assumed to be an attractive potential. Division by Po is motivated by the fact that for Coulomb systems, when is so defined, it turns out to be independent of po, as we shall see below. The Sturmian secular equation (61) has several remarkable features In the first place, the kinetic energy has vanished Secondly, the roots are not energy values but values of the parameter po, which is related to the electronic energy of the system by equation (52). Finally, as we shall see below, the basis functions depend on pq, and therefore they are not known until solution... 

However, as the solidus sign, /, for division is in widespread use, it is important to be aware of possible ambiguity. 

A simple set of rules can be constructed, using this reasoning, to help us to carry out multiplication and division of signed numbers or symbols Multiplication Division...
