short essay on importance of numbers
Answers
Explanation:
There are not so many numbers in all system…. In our clock we have only 12 numbers. In computer science binary number system is randomly used which consist of only two numbers. Now, mathematics works with abstractness. It provides a collection having a specific property. When we face various sort of problems we use suitable number system according to their properties. So mathematics doesn't bother about where its elements are used… It first collects various types of real life problems and then gives a general ( more specifically an abstract) idea of all of their solutions . Actually it first analyses the problem then thinks about which points may solve the problem and then using those points as properties it creates a theory. Number theory is also created by same procedure. In need of counting it first thought about some properties those are able to solve counting problem. These points are known as Piano’s axioms. The elements obeying those axioms are called as natural number. It is obvious that we need not so many numbers in practical life, but by Piano’s axioms, natural number system has no upper bound. Now you must need so many numbers if you wish to count the number of stars. ( obviously it is not possible but showing a bijection from ℕ to set of stars it can be proven that stars are countable) Thats why there exists so many numbers.
Answer:
Numbers are important. Whether costs, revenues, performance, targets – most people agree that numbers are important. Interpretation of these numbers is key; the numbers can influence decisions related to performance, investments and effectiveness among other things. There appears to be a clear trend in Canada to 100% producer responsibility for the packaging they place onto the market, often cited as the best option for producers. Comparing different approaches in different jurisdictions may not be an exact apples to apples comparison, but it does provide insight at a high level.
Two of the provinces that have in recent years moved to 100% industry funded EPR are BC and QC. Each represents a different approach to 100% industry funded EPR. Both programs involve a combination of curbside and depot collection. The purpose of the comparison here is not to determine which one is better but to highlight some of the difference and interesting similarities in the numbers. One interesting point involves the cost per tonne or the cost per capita for each of these PPP programs. The PPP program in BC is often cited as the best in Canada. Its costs, based on RecycleBC’s latest Annual Report, are listed as $396 per tonne and $17 per capita served, bearing in mind that Recycle BC does not yet fund recycling services in all BC communities.
Compare on the other hand the costs of the PPP program in QC, a system with strong municipal influence/control on costs where producers also pay 100% of the costs. In QC the costs are $327 per tonne and $19 per capita served. Two quite different systems, with remarkably similar costs. There are differences between the two jurisdictions of course. In one the mountains are higher and vaster than in the other. While both provinces border oceans one jurisdiction has more people living on islands than the other. Both provinces have beverage container deposit systems although the products covered differ somewhat. All of these factors impact costs as do service levels, standards and the efficiency of each system.
