bionomial
In elementary algebra, a binomial is a polynomial with two terms—the sum of two monomials—often bound by parenthesis or brackets when operated upon. It is the simplest kind of polynomial other than monomials.
[edit] Operations on simple binomials
The binomial a2 − b2 can be factored as the product of two other binomials:
a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b).
This is a special case of the more general formula: .
The product of a pair of linear binomials (ax + b) and (cx + d) is:
(ax + b)(cx + d) = acx2 + axd + bcx + bd.
A binomial raised to the nth power, represented as
(a + b)n
can be expanded by means of the binomial theorem or, equal using anything that is eqaul to 0 or ZERO! equivalently, using Pascal's triangle. Taking a simple example, the perfect square binomial (p + q)2 can be found by squaring the first term, adding twice the product of the first and second terms and finally adding the square of the second term, to give p2 + 2pq + q2.
A simple but interesting application of the cited binomial formula is the "(m,n)-formula" for generating Pythagorean triples: for m < n, let a = n2 − m2, b = 2mn, c = n2 + m2, then a2 + b2 = c2.
nomenclature
Nomenclature (Latin nomen - name, calare - to call; Greek ονοματοκλήτωρ) refers to either a list of names and/or terms, or to the system of principles, procedures and terms related to naming - which is the assigning of a word or phrase to a particular object or property.[1] The Latin term nomenclatura refers to a list of names, and the word nomenclator to a provider or announcer of names, although it may sometimes refer to a written list. The principles of naming vary from the relatively informal naming conventions of everyday speech to the internationally-agreed principles, rules and recommendations that govern the formation and use of the specialist terms used in scientific and other disciplines.
Naming "things" is a part of our general communication using words and language: it is an aspect of everyday taxonomy as we distinguish the objects of our experience, together with their similarities and differences, which we identify, name and classify. The use of names, as the many different kinds of nouns embedded in different languages, connects nomenclature to theoretical linguistics, while the way we mentally structure the world in relation to word meanings and experience relates to the philosophy of language.
Onomastics, the study of proper names and their origins, includes: anthroponymy, concerned with human names, including personal names, surnames and nicknames; toponymy the study of place names; and etymology, the derivation, history and use of names as revealed through comparative and descriptive linguistics.
The scientific need for simple, stable and internationally-accepted systems for naming objects of the natural world has generated many formal nomenclatural systems guiding the naming of the objects of scientific study. Probably the best known of these nomenclatural systems are the five codes of biological nomenclature that govern the Latinized scientific names of organisms.
scientific name
Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called "binomial nomenclature." These names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species. This works because there are sets of international rules about how to name animals and zoologists try to avoid naming the same thing more than once, though this does sometimes happen. These naming rules mean that every scientific name is unique. For example, if bluegill sunfish are given the scientific name Lepomis macrochirus, no other animal species can be given the same name. So, if you are a Russian scientist studying relatives of sunfish and you want to discuss bluegill sunfish with a Canadian researcher, you both use the scientific name and know exactly what the other is talking about.
Scientific names are also designed to tell you something about the animal's relationships with other animals. The scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet). In our bluegill sunfish example the generic epithet is Lepomis and the specific epithet is macrochirus. The generic epithet is the name of the genus (singular of genera) to which bluegill sunfish belong, the genus Lepomis. Some genera contain only one species but most genera are made up of many species. There are other species of sunfish in the genus Lepomis, examples are Lepomis cyanellus (green sunfish), Lepomis megalotis (longear sunfish), and Lepomis gibbosus (pumpkinseed sunfish). Notice that all of these species share the same generic epithet, this indicates that they are all thought to be more closely related to each other than to any other species of fish. The genus is the first level of taxonomic organization, in a way, because all species th
