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 ... some unit fractions in the sum to be negative dates back to Lambert 1770 .

The play debuted at Dublin s Olympia Theatre, Dublin Olympia Theatre in 1965, with Ray McAnally as The Bull and Eamon Keane as The Bird O Donnell. The play was published in 1966 by Mercier Press. A new version with some changes was produced in 1987. A The Field film film adaptation was released in 1990, directed by Jim Sheridan with Richard Harris in the lead role. Plot The Field is set in a small country village in southwest Ireland . Rugged individualist Bull McCabe Harris has spent many hard years of labour cultivating a small plot of rented land, nurturing it from barren rock into a fertile field. He has always considered the land his own, and dreams of buying it now it is being put up for auction . The McCabes intimidate most of the townspeople out of bidding in the auction, to the chagrin of auctioneer Mick Flanagan, but Galwayman William Dee arrives from England , where he has lived for many years, with his own plan for the field.

In mathematics , the term global field refers to either of the following an algebraic number field , i.e., a algebraic extension finite extension of Q , or a global function field , i.e., the function field of an algebraic variety function field of an algebraic curve over a finite field , equivalently, a finite extension of F sub q sub T , the field of rational functions in one variable over the finite field with q elements. An axiomatic characterization of these fields via Valuation algebra valuation theory was given by Emil Artin and George Whaples in the 1940s. ref harvnb Artin Whaples 1945 and harvnb Artin Whaples 1946 ref There are a number of formal similarities between the two kinds of fields. A field of either type has the property that all of its complete space completion s are locally compact fields see local field s . Every field of either type can be realized as the field of fractions of a Dedekind domain in which every non zero ideal ring theory ideal is of finite index. In each case, one has the product formula for non zero elements x math prod v x v 1. math The analogy between the two kinds of fields has been a strong motivating force in algebraic number theory . The idea of an analogy between number fields and Riemann surface s goes back to Richard Dedekind and Heinrich M. Weber in the nineteenth century. The more strict analogy expressed by the global field idea, in which a Riemann surface s aspect as algebraic curve is mapped to curves defined over a finite field, was built up during the 1930s, culminating in the Riemann hypothesis for local zeta functions settled by Andr Weil in 1940. The terminology may be due to Weil, who wrote his Basic Number Theory 1967 in part to work out the parallelism. It is usually easier to work in the function field case and then try to develop parallel techniques on the number field side. The development of Arakelov theory ...

If K is a subset of the underlying set of L which is Closure mathematics closed with respect to the field operations and inverses in L , then K is said to be a subfield of L , and L is said to be an extension field of K .

Image Field desorption.gif right thumb 400 px Schematic of field desorption ionization with emitter at left and mass spectrometer at right Field desorption FD field ionization FI refers to an ion source for mass spectrometry first reported by Beckey in 1969. ref Beckey H.D. Field ionization mass spectrometry. Research Development , 1969 , 20 11 , 26 ref In field ionization, a high potential electric field is applied to an emitter with a sharp surface, such as a razor blade, or more commonly, a filament from which tiny whiskers have formed. This results in a very high electric field which can result in ionization of gaseous molecules of the analyte. Mass spectra produced by FI have little or no fragmentation. They are dominated by molecular radical cations M sup . sup and less often, protonated molecules math M H , math . Mechanism In FD, the analyte is applied as a thin film directly to the emitter, or small crystals of solid materials are placed onto the emitter. Slow heating of the emitter then begins, by passing a high current through the emitter, which is maintained at a high potential e.g. 5 kilovolts . As heating of the emitter continues, low vapor pressure materials get desorbed and ionized by alkali metal cation attachment. Applications Many earlier applications of FD FI to analysis of polar and nonvolatile analytes such as polymers and biological molecules have largely been supplanted by newer ionization techniques. However, FD FI remains one of the only ionization techniques that can produce simple mass spectra with molecular information from hydrocarbons and other particular analytes. The most commonly encountered application of FD FI at the present time is the analysis of complex mixtures of hydrocarbons such as that found in petroleum fractions.
