Numbering of figures

The author would like to thank C. Creton for permission to reproduce a number of figures from his work. 

Different figures may have the same number of balls of each color. Let denote the number of figures of content (k, Jl, m). The power series... 

The uncertainty in the product, 200 calories, is not simply the sum of the uncertainties in the factors, 0.4°C and 2 grams. Instead, the sum of the percentage uncertainties in the factors determines the uncertainty in a product or a quotient. Fortunately, there is an easy method for estimating it roughly without calculating percentages. This method, based upon the number of figures written, is described in Section 1-2.5. 

To provide a quantitative comparison of candidate PFMs, a number of figures of merit (A) have been derived. One of which may be written ... 

A different, more complex, alloying behaviour is illustrated in a number of figures (Figs. 2.18-2.21) where several examples of alloy diagrams are presented which are typically characterized by the formation, through a range of different mechanisms, of intermediate phases. 

Our first problem is how to properly calculate the average optical constants when 1% of carbon by volume is uniformly distributed in a nonabsorbing medium. The usual procedure, as in the papers cited above, has been to simply volume-average n and k separately. But optical constants are not, in general, additive, so we have used the Maxwell Garnett expression (8.50). The result is mgr = 1.55 + /0.007, which in this instance is identical, to the number of figures shown, with the result obtained by volume-averaging the refractive indices 1.55 + /0.0 and 1.7 + /0.7. 

The power of 10 has no influence on the number of figures that should be retained. 

A. Write each answer with a reasonable number of figures. Find the absolute and percent relative uncertainty for each answer. 

The coefficients contain different numbers of figures, because they are accurate values. The relevant expressions for the p4 shell follow from (32.30)-(32.32) if we change the signs of the coefficients t]p with odd powers. For the p3 shell the similar expressions are ... 

Adapting these relative coverages to the total hydroxyl content as a function of temperature, yields the absolute numbers of figure 5.18. 

To represent the effects of all the possible values of a, we require an infinite number of curves on this figure as a can take an infinite number of values. Now, this is just for one value of u, and u may itself take an infinite number of values. Therefore to represent s for all the possible values of t, a and u, we need an infinite number of figures (all possible u values), each with an infinite number of curves (all possible a values). This, clearly, is not very convenient. 

However, figures can decrease a reader s comprehension, and they can cause outright confusion if they are poorly rendered or cluttered, if they do little more than repeat data already presented in text, or, worse, if they present information at odds with the text. An excessive number of figures can dilute the value of any individual figure when presented with too many figures, a reader may look carefully at none of them. Figures should not be used to present data that would be better presented in a table. See Box 15-1 and Chapter 16, Tables. ... 

Using an appropriate number of figures, the difference is then quoted as 8.6 0.5. Note that this is slightfy fess than the maximum possible error calculated previously. 

Using an appropriate number of figures the final value can be quoted as 46 5. 

In this monograph, a number of figures and tables are quoted from different sources, and the author would like to thank the following organizations and individuals for generously giving permission to use them in this monograph. 

Analytical procedures are characterized by a number of figures of merit such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, detection limit, and dynamic range. We discussed in Chapter 5 the general concepts of accuracy and precision. Here, we describe those additional figures of merit that are commonly used and discuss the validation and reporting of analytical results. 

One of the more interesting results was that fully one-third of the students had accurate memory for a diagram but could not retrieve the name associated with it. The correlation between the number of names recalled and the number of figures recalled was a mere. 18. The most extreme cases were the two students who could not remember any names but could draw some of the diagrams and the three students who remembered the names but could draw no diagrams. 

The authors wish to express their gratitude to Witold Maszara and Calvin Carter of North Carolina State University for many useful discussions, for providing a number of figures in this text, and for their active collaboration. We would also like to record our appreciation for Famella Camp for being patient with typing the manuscript and for doing a fine job.
