    Quinary (base 5 or pental [1] [2] [3]) is a numeral system with five as the base. A possible origination of a quinary system is that there are five digits on either hand . In the quinary place system, five numerals, from 0 to 4 , are used to represent any real number .

    1. Gordan's theorem states that the ring of invariants of a binary form (or several binary forms) is finitely generated. grade The highest power of a bracket factor in the symbolic expression for an invariant. (Glenn 1915, 4.8) gradient A homogeneous polynomial in a 0, ..., a p all of whose terms have the same weight, where a n has weight n.

    The Remington Rand 409 has five bits: one quinary bit (tube) for each of 1, 3, 5, and 7 - only one of these would be on at the time. The fifth bi bit represented 9 if none of the others were on; otherwise it added 1 to the value represented by the other quinary bit.

    Quinary systems are based on the number 5. It is almost certain the quinary system developed from counting by fingers (five fingers per hand). [17] An example are the Epi languages of Vanuatu, where 5 is luna 'hand', 10 lua-luna 'two hand', 15 tolu-luna 'three hand', etc. 11 is then lua-luna tai 'two-hand one', and 17 tolu-luna lua 'three-hand ...

    Swainson's Quinarian structure of birds. Quinarianism gets its name from the emphasis on the number five: it proposed that all taxa are divisible into five subgroups, and if fewer than five subgroups were known, quinarians believed that a missing subgroup remained to be found.

    On the other hand, the maximal real subfields Q(cos(2π/2 n)) of the 2-power cyclotomic fields Q(ζ 2 n) (where n is a positive integer) are known to have class number 1 for n≤8, [8] and it is conjectured that they have class number 1 for all n. Weber showed that these fields have odd class number.

    A transportation problem from George Dantzig is used to provide a sample GAMS model. [6] This model is part of the model library which contains many more complete GAMS models. This problem finds a least cost shipping schedule that meets requirements at markets and supplies at factories. Dantzig, G B, Chapter 3.3. In Linear Programming and ...
