As regards Boolean Logic, the above simple open Digital-Electronics circuit can be said to represent the Boolean variable:

x = 1/0

, or:

x = true/false

. The variable:

S

which is represented in this schematic by a:

lamp

or:

lightbulb

represents the logical result of:

x

; what is logicallly outputted by virtue of the:

x switch

’s being either in the on or off position.

In this instance, the value of the Boolean Variable:

S

is:

0

, or:

false

.

The Quantity of Syllables in Ancient Greek The Quantity of Syllables in Ancient Greek: Figure 1:   Ancient Greek is an extremely musical language, possessing both pitch, and rhythm. Introduction: In Ancient Greek, syllables are either: long; short; or obscure. Body: We shall now examine each class of Syllable Length in turn: Long Syllables: In Ancient Greek, a syllable is considered long , by nature, should it contain one of the vowels: η , ω ; or long: ᾱ , ῑ , ῡ , ; or diphthongs: αι , ει , οι , αυ , ου , υι , ευ , ηυ .  Syllables that are long by nature [1] . are held for the length of two morae [2] ., which is analogous to a minim or a half note in music.

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory:

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory Figure 1:   I drew this set-naming italic character in SVG.  You may view the code of this image at my Codepen Account . Figure 2: What the SVG image looks like when exported as a PNG. [1] In Set Theory - which underpins so much of computing mathematics - we conventionally name sets with capital italic letters. In computer science, a name such as: A , would be termed an: ‘identifier’ . In the below example, we shall use the capital italic character: R so as to name the members of the set of Radix-ten [2] integers. Figure 3: “ A SQUARE-ROOT SIGN   This sign is from radix (Latin for root) and was first used by Leonardo da Pisa in 1220.  Today’s √ sign, which may be a distortion of the letter “r”, is sixteenth-century German.” [3] An Example of Naming a Set with an Italic Italic Capital Character
