Pous

The pous (pl. podes; Greek: ποῦς, poûs) or Greek foot (pl. feet) was a Greek unit of length. It had various subdivisions whose lengths varied by place and over time. 100 podes made up one plethron, 600 podes made up a stade (the Greek furlong) and 5000 made up a milion (the Greek mile). The Greek pous also has long, median and short forms. The pous spread throughout much of Europe and the Middle East during the Hellenic period preceding and following the conquests of Alexander the Great and remained in use as a Byzantine unit until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.

Multiplying Roman Numerals Like the Romans Did [Math Mini]

The Roman Numeral system is particularly different from our decimal number system in this key respect: it has no place value. Rather than represent values by some power of 10 (or otherwise), roman numerals represent value additively. Each symbol stands for a certain value, and to get the c

Q&A 48: Is Falcon Heavy More Powerful Than Space Shuttle? And More...

In this week's QA, I compared apples to apples and look at the launch capability of the Falcon Heavy versus the Space Shuttle. The answer may surprise you. We also look at extracting energy from a black hole, and if launching satellites from the Earth's poles will avoid a Kessler Syndrome.

Proof: A' is a Subset of B iff AUB is Universal Set | Set Theory

Let A and B be subsets of a universal set U. Then the complement of A, written A', is a subset of B if and only if A union B is the universal set! We'll go over this set theory proof in today's set theory lesson. All we need to do is use our definitions of set complement, set equality, sub
