In mathematics , the greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions is a greedy algorithm , first described by Fibonacci , for transforming rational number s into Egyptian fraction s. An Egyptian fraction is a representation of an irreducible fraction as a sum of unit fraction s, as e.g. 5 6 1 2 1 3. As the name indicates, these representations have been used as long ago as Egyptian mathematics ancient Egypt , but the first published systematic method for constructing such expansions is described in the Liber Abaci 1202 of Leonardo of Pisa Fibonacci . It is called a greedy algorithm because at each step the algorithm chooses greedily the largest possible unit fraction that can be used in any representation of the remaining fraction. Fibonacci actually lists several different methods for constructing Egyptian fraction representations Sigler 2002, chapter II.7 . He includes the greedy method as a last resort for situations when several simpler methods fail see Egyptian fraction for a more detailed listing of these methods. As Salzer 1948 details, the greedy method, and extensions of it for the approximation of irrational numbers, have been rediscovered several times by modern mathematicians, earliest and most notably by James Joseph Sylvester Sylvester 1880 see for instance Cahen 1891 and Spiess ... some unit fractions in the sum to be negative dates back to Lambert 1770 .

In mathematics , the total quotient ring , ref Matsumura 1980 , p. 12 ref or total ring of fractions , ref Matsumura 1989 , p. 21 ref is a construction that generalizes the notion of the field of fractions of a domain ring theory domain to rings that may have zero divisor s. The idea is to formally invert as many elements of the ring as possible without making the ring smaller i. e. without trivializing any nonzero element of the ring . Definition Let math R math be a commutative ring and let math S math be the set of elements which are not zero divisors in math R math then math S math is a multiplicatively closed set that does not contain zero. Hence we may localization of a ring localize the ring math R math at the set math S math to obtain the total quotient ring math S 1 R Q R math . If math R math is a integral domain domain , then math S R 0 math and the total quotient ring is the same as the field of fractions. This justifies the notation math Q R math , which is sometimes used for the field of fractions as well, since there is no ambiguity in the case of a domain. Since math S math in the construction contains no zero divisors, the natural map math R to Q R math is injective, so the total quotient ring is an extension of math R math . Examples The total quotient ring math Q A times B math of a product ring is the product of total quotient rings math Q A times Q B math . In particular, if A and B are integral domains, it is the product of quotient fields. The total quotient ring of the ring of holomorphic function s on an open set D of complex numbers is the ring of meromorphic function s on D , even if D is not connected. In an Artinian ring , all elements are units or zero divisors. Hence the set of non zero divisors is the group of units of the ring, math R times math , and so math Q R R times 1 R math . But since all these elements already have inverses, math ... , 1989 Category Commutative algebra Category Ring theory Category Fractions ... more details

Unreferenced date March 2009 Astrodynamics navbar In aerospace engineering , payload fraction is a common term used to characterize the efficiency of a particular design. Payload fraction is calculated by dividing the weight of the payload by the weight of the otherwise empty aircraft when fully fueled. Fuel represents a considerable amount of the overall takeoff weight, and for shorter trips it is quite common to load less fuel in order to carry a lighter load. For this reason the useful load fraction calculates a similar number, but based on the combined weight of the payload and fuel together. Propeller driven airliner s had useful load fractions on the order of 25 35 . Modern jet engine jet powered airliners have considerably higher useful load fractions, on the order of 45 55 . For spacecraft the payload fraction is often less than 1 , while the useful load fraction is perhaps 90 . In this case the useful load fraction is not a useful term, because spacecraft typically can t reach orbit without a full fuel load. For this reason the related term mass fraction , is used instead. However, if the latter is large, the payload can only be small. Examples Mass fraction table Note the above table may incorrectly include the mass of the empty upper stage or stages.

Unreferenced date February 2008 The Schoolmaster s Assistant, Being a Compendium of Arithmetic both Practical and Theoretical was an early and popular English arithmetic textbook, written by Thomas Dilworth and published in United States of America America in the eighteenth century. The book reached from the introductory topics to the advanced in five sections Section I, Whole Numbers included the basis of the four operations and proceeded to topics on interest, rebates, partnership, weights and measures , the double rule of three, alligation , mediation and permutations . Section II dealt with common fractions . Section III dealt with decimal fraction operations and included roots up to the fourth power, and work on Annuity finance theory annuities and pensions . Section IV was a collection of 104 problems to be solved. As was common in many older texts, the questions were sometimes stated in rhyme. Lessons for students were for memorization and recitation. Section V was on Duodecimals, working with fractions in which the only denominators were twelfths. These types of problems continue in textbooks and appear in the 1870 edition of White s Complete Arithmetic in the appendix. The definition states A Duodecimal is a denominate number in which twelve units of any denomination make a unit of the next higher denomination. Duodecimals are used by artificers in measuring surfaces and solids.
